I-F

I-f (also Interr-Ference) is the stage name of Ferenc E. van der Sluijs, a Dutch producer and DJ based in The Hague. He is a former member of the Dutch techno-pioneers Unit Moebius.

Overview

In 1997, he produced the track "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass" (referencing the video game Space Invaders), which became a huge underground dance hit and is often cited as an early example of electroclash. It introduced "old-fashioned verse-chorus dynamics to burbling electro in a vocodered homage to Atari-era hi-jinks" and is the "record widely credited with catalysing" the electroclash movement.

The album Fucking Consumer was released in 1998 on the Disko B label, followed by The Man From Pack the next year. In 1999 he also made the mixed album Mixed Up In the Hague Vol. 1, which has been cited by many, including Morgan Geist, as being the catalyst that brought renewed interest in Italo disco.

I-f was featured on the seminal 2002 Ghostly International compilation Disco Nouveau. He has also recorded as The Parallax Corporation with Intergalactic Gary. I-f currently runs a record label called Viewlexx. He also ran the internet radio station Cybernetic Broadcasting System (CBS). It was closed down in 2008 but is now one of four channels on Intergalactic FM, which is also operated by I-f.

ÍF Fuglafjørður

Ítróttarfelag Fuglafjarðar, abbreviated to ÍF, is a Faroese football club based in Fuglafjørður. They play their home games at Í Fløtugerði. ÍF's 1979 Faroese championship win is the club's sole to date. It has also won the second tier championship three times.

History

2006, 2007 and 2008

At the end of the 2006 season, the club was relegated from the top league, Formuladeildin. In October 2007 the club was again promoted to the top flight, Formuladeildin. The team had some difficulties this season, not by adjusting to Formuladeildin, but because the first team coach, Jón Simonsen, had to quit his job during the pre-season. Then ÍF hired old legend and Champion of the 1979 team, Abraham Løkin Hansen, to take care of the team until a new coach was hired. Late in April the third coach this season arrived. As the new headcoach of ÍF was another old legend from the late seventees, David R. Jones was hired. Even though the team have had 3 coaches during this season and are newly promoted, they ended at a comfortable 6th place after the first half of the season. After two lost matches in the second half of the 2008 season, ÍF hired coach number 4 that season. The new coach was called Albert Ellefsen and is the former coach at HB Tórshavn. Albert Ellefsen has won the faroese championship 2 times with HB Tórshavn and is also coaching the U19 and U21 national team with Abraham Løkin Hansen. ÍF also used the transfer market during its opening in June and July. First Helgi L. Petersen was brought in from Fram Tórshavn and close to the end of the transfer opening ÍF bought Andy Olsen for an undisclosed fee from NSÍ. ÍF also lost one player during the transfer window opening. Dánjal Pauli Højgaard left to his hometown club in Toftir, B68 Toftir. ÍF finished 7th in their first season back in the top flight.

Trance Dance

Trance Dance was a Swedish pop group who had a number of hits in the late 1980s. The group were somewhat rock-influenced, with their music being driven by guitars and other instruments not fully characteristic of a late 1980s pop group. Despite their name, their music did not resemble trance at all.

Trance Dance were formed in Sweden in 1985 as a seven-piece group consisting of Ben Marlene (vocals), Pelle Hökengren (guitar), P.J. Widestrand (keyboards), John Stark (bass), Sören Johanssen (drums) and the sisters Susanne and Yvonne Holmström (additional vocals). Ben Marlene had previously been in the Finnish group French Kiss, which existed between 1982 and 1984 and made two albums. Marlene and the Holmström sisters are Swedish-speaking Finns.

Albums

The group's first album, A-Ho-Ho, was released in Sweden in late 1986 and in the U.S. in February 1987, making number 19 on the Swedish album chart. The albums spawned the two singles, "Do the Dance" and "Hoodoo Wanna Voodoo", and despite receiving a fair amount of airplay in clubs, they failed to chart in their native Sweden. However, "Hoodoo Wanna Voodoo" was a popular hit in Poland.
