Vinbar på Løkka – Lyden av Oslo i sakte tempo

Det finnes øyeblikk i Oslo som ikke lar seg planlegge.
De bare skjer.

En varm kveld på Grünerløkka. Bord som vipper lett mot brosteinen. Et glass som aldri helt blir tomt. Folk som flytter seg etter sola – og blir værende litt lenger enn de egentlig skulle.

Dette er ikke bare en bydel.
Det er en rytme.

Og noen ganger… høres den ut som en låt.

Kevin Fauske - Vinbar på Løkka.

En vinbar, en gate – og noe mer

På Løkka starter kvelden ofte rolig. Kanskje i nærheten av Birkelunden. Kanskje langs Thorvald Meyers gate. Du setter deg ned, bestiller et glass, og tenker at du bare skal ta én.

Men så skjer det noe.

Samtaler flyter. Folk rundt deg smelter sammen til en stemning. Trikken glir forbi i bakgrunnen som en slags metronom. Byen puster sakte.

Det er her ideen til “Vinbar på Løkka” oppstod.

Ikke som en plan.
Men som en observasjon.

Når Oslo blir til musikk

Som artist er det lett å jage det store – festivaler, streams, internasjonale plays.
Men noen ganger ligger det sterkeste uttrykket rett foran deg.

“Vinbar på Løkka” handler om det nære:

  • små øyeblikk
  • ekte steder
  • ekte mennesker

Lyden er inspirert av:

  • nordisk disco
  • rolig elektronika
  • den litt naive, varme Oslo-vokalen

En slags miks av klubb og kafé.
Av natt og tidlig kveld.

En ode til Oslo øst

“Vinbar på Løkka” er en del av et større prosjekt:
en musikalsk kjærlighetserklæring til Oslo øst.

Et forsøk på å fange:

  • følelsen av å være ute uten mål
  • lydene av byen rundt deg
  • de små historiene som aldri blir skrevet ned

Dette er ikke en guide til de beste vinbarene.
Det er noe annet.

Det er lyden av å være der.

Oslo Puster Sakte

Det er noe eget med tempoet på Løkka.

Ikke tregt. Ikke stressa.
Bare… riktig.

Du merker det når:

  • sola henger lavt over parkene
  • glassene klirrer litt saktere
  • kvelden lukter mer ferie enn hverdag

Det er i dette rommet musikken lever.

Ikke nødvendigvis på dansegulvet.
Men mellom mennesker.

Kevin Fauske - Vinbar på Løkka.
Kevin Fauske - Vinbar på Løkka.

Kanskje vi sees der

Neste gang du sitter på en vinbar på Løkka,
uten sokker, uten sko, uten hastverk—

kanskje du hører det.

En basslinje som ligger lavt under praten.
En melodi som følger trikken nedover gata.

Og kanskje…
er det akkurat den låta.

Simon Field x Todd Terry – “My House is on Fire”

Basement Records | Out Oct 17 | BPM 127

House music legend Todd Terry unites with Norwegian underground staple Simon Field for an unforgettable collaboration that bridges generations of groove.

My House Is On Fire is a peak-time club weapon built on swung Chicago-style drums, rolling garage energy, and infectious vocal hooks. Terry’s unmistakable raw drive collides with Field’s modern underground touch to deliver a track guaranteed to set the floor alight.

This release feels as inevitable as it is explosive — the meeting of a house pioneer and one of Scandinavia’s most consistent underground voices. Expect catchy vocals, groovy rhythm, and a locked-in bassline that works across clubs, basements, and festivals.
