Hi!
We have been down in the big deep and are now at the surface to get some
air. A new record is taking form and will be released within 2007. Hopefully
September, but we will keep you posted. Until then, you should check out
the Jogujo Circuit myspace: www.myspace.com/jogujo.
We will be uploading some new tracks every once in a
while.
Right now you can check out "My Feet".

11, 2005 - Copenhagen
Jazzhouse
Jogujo Circuit concluded the little Denmark summer-tour with an intense
and special night at Copenhagen Jazzhouse, the biggest venue for jazz
and improvised-music in the Danish capital. Once again, the concert was
captured on film, and the band is looking forward to seeing the results
of it. The big and very international audience that showed up this evening,
got their moneys worth, with the band playing at their best, accompanied
by great sound and tasteful light-setting. Big hugs to Mik Neumann and
Michael Østerz!
June
8, 2005 - Sun Ship, Musikcaféen, Århus
June 9, 2005 - Studenterhuset, Aalborg
Jogujo Circuit presented both new material and modified versions of the
songs from the album "close up magic", leaving the audiences
at Sun Ship and Studenterhuset breathless. With his wild-seed lyricism
and kamikaze-electronics, the secret guest of both nights, Jeppe Kjellberg,
was a fountain of energy as Jogujo Circuit moved through unknown territory.
It was two truly unique evenings, with heroic efforts and unexpected beauty;
unfortunately only partially recorded. Many thank's to Rasmus Telling,
all the Sun Ship people, to Sune Petersen, the beautiful crew at Studenterhuset,
and Maria@1000fryd, for your dedication and enthusiasm.

20, 2005 - M/S Stubnitz - CPH
In the company of established stars Marilyn Mazur and John Tchicai, young
Norwegian mountain-lions Motif and the electrifying groove-masters Booty
Cologne, Jogujo Circuit played the 'Future Sound of Jazz' festival in
Copenhagen.
The old German fishing-boat, M/S Stubnitz, once used for herring, now
built into an incredible music-club, made a suitable arena for the event.
A cool rustic atmosphere, a well balanced blend of trendy hip-ness and
warm kitsch, and a lot of happy people.
The concert was filmed and samples from the video will be available on
www.jogujo.com soon.
Thank's so much to the Stubnitz Crew, Copenhagen Jazzfestival and Jazz
Club Loco for a great initiative and good work!

jogujo circuit
rounded off this spring/summer playing at Kraftwerk, the powerstation
of a shutdown mine in Sweden. A fine conclusion to a series of concerts,
which has brought the trio to clubs and festivals in Denmark, Sweden,
Norway and Iceland. What better place for celebrating than the spectacular
scenery of the Norberg Festival, together with dedicated
musicians, video-artists, DJZs and electronic music enthusiasts from all
over Scandinavia and beyond. To be in the same program with such "big-league-names"
as Fennesz (Aut), Phillip Jeck (UK), Luke Vibert (UK), Pole (DE),
has set a new standard for us, but we think we will be able to get used
to it.... :) Thanks to Michael Østerz for inviting
us, and to Henrik Sundh for joining in with his magic
keys!

Once again jogujo circuit played a crowded house
at Copenhagen club Rust. People refused to stop dancing, not even giving
in to the trickiest rhythms, as Bjørn Ross supplied sneaky visuals
and lights. Knut Finsrud joined in on drums, lifting the bands energy
to a new level, making it the most energetic concert so far, both on stage
and in the audience.

SPOT10 in Århus hosted around 50 concerts
in two days, introducing the European music business to both “up
and coming” and more established Danish, Norwegian and Swedish names
within a variety of pop, rock, jazz and electronic music. jogujo circuit
and Tys Tys were both presented by the Danish Jazz Association and were
welcomed by an ecstatic young audience who were eager to buy CDs and get
autographs after the concert. The professional sound- and light-crew created
optimal conditions for jogujo circuit´s sometimes subtle and fragile
music that left critics and audience stunned. Several offers were made
from interested festival-arrangers after the show, and there will hopefully
be more details about this soon. (We might be going to Japan!...)

As a warm-up for the important SPOT10 festival
jogujo circuit joined Autofant and Stern for a triple-concert at the gallery
Bürå21, in Malmø, Sweden. The minimal interior and cool
vibe of the gallery was a rich contrast to the lively, warm electronic
sounds of the three bands. After this, their debut-concert in Sweden,
jogujo circuit received an enthusiastic response from both audience and
gallery-owners and hope to be going back soon. Thanks to Autofant and
Stern for inviting us!

jogujo circuit played the “what is jazz”
festival at the legendary Copenhagen venue, Loppen, sharing stage with
what is said to be “the hottest names” on the Danish jazz/electronica
scene. In between the concerts DJs Katrine Ring and Michael Reinboth (D)
played some pumpin tracks, making the electric atmosphere of the festival
complete. Thanks to everyone for listening and for buying our record!
Another big thank you to the Copenhagen Jazzgang for a great initiative!

The 27th. of March jogujo circuit played the “Ungjazz
Reykjavik” festival in Iceland and the spectacular scenery and intimate
vibe of the city was a truly inspiring experience.
Knut Finsrud (also appearing on 'close up magic'), did a good job on drums/livesampling,
substituting for Jon Meinild.
jogujo circuit was overwhelmed by the enthusiastic and listening audience
at the fashionable venue Hotel Borg, and just as after the by:Larm-concert
in Bergen, CDs were in demand. Shortly after coming back to Copenhagen,
the first Icelandic fan-mail entered the jogujo inbox, and the band hopes
to be going back soon.
ALSO: In addition to distribution through GDC in Denmark
and Jazzcuisine in Germany, the record is now being distributed in Norway
by Musikklosen and Japan by Disc Union. The Orchard in the USA has made
an offer including both internet and physical distribution in “the
states”. The last details of this deal is being agreed some time
in the near future.
