Today, Swedish producer Rudolf Nordström aka Mr. Tophat announces his debut album “Dusk to Dawn” a three LP dark-disco odyssey that features live instrumentation from some of Sweden’s finest classical musicians (Mats Bergström, Per-Erik Adamsson) as well as appearances from his friends and collaborators Robyn, Axel Boman and Kleerup.

The Mr. Tophat sound is one that goes on and on, deep into the night. “Dusk to Dawn” is an epic collection of underground disco and house tracks, synthesising Western classical with contemporary club music. It’s an album that rewards multiple listens, a sprawling, ecstatic climb to the sublime, layered and full. It’s an album that pushes out into new uncharted territories.

As Rudolf writes in the text in the gatefold vinyl; “the first ideas of creating an actual album came in the spring of 2016, not long after the breakup from a long relationship. A dark time full of contemplation and re-evaluation of my life. That September I got the first sonic images, right after a month I’d spent living on Ibiza. The powerful sunsets, the dramatic skies over the Balearic sea, the starlit nights and the beautiful sunrises. They looked like Renaissance paintings by Rubens or Michelangelo. I remember swimming in the ocean with a view of a pretty horizon, filled with love and soft emotions. I remember standing alone in the pitch-black night, how I felt the Mediterranean storm and heavy rain hit my cheeks. It felt as I was crying and screaming, even though there was nothing but silence. The thunder lit up the cloudy sky like a strobe, to suddenly a few hours later with the turn of dawn bring everything into calm and peaceful nature - like everything was reset. This reminded me of life, death, primal aspects and the biological processes in general. As I made the album I was reading Derrida’s essay “Plato’s Pharmacy”. How he describes the moon and night has been an important influence on the record”.

To capture the sublime on “Dusk to Dawn” Mr. Tophat brought Sweden’s finest classical musicians into the studio. At the same time, some of the 25 tracks on the record are pure synth driven trance, while “Balearic Moonwalk feat. Kleerup” is on a pop-house tip. The result juxtaposes experimental textures with pure rhythmic momentum. On LP highlight “Hedonism” he collaborates again with Robyn (having first worked together on the “Trust Me” EP in 2017).

Mr. Tophat was an avid clubber as a teen, way before making his name as a cult DJ; “everything started when my childhood friend Kalle and I first visited Berghain. It was 2008 and we were 18 years old. We had found each other being two individualists with our own nerdy interests. Together we plunged into them, Kalle in hairstyling, me in electronic dance music, computer games and cyber-punk. With borrowed fake ID’s, platform shoes, blue-dyed hair and like our idols from “Party Monster” we overdressed and started raving in the forests and clubbing in the city of Stockholm. Berlin and Berghain became a place we went and visited almost once a month during a two year period. Ever since those days I’ve always loved and felt a big passion for the rave and club scene. As a space where you can freak out, be yourself, queer and believe in hedonism. It shall and should be about freedom. I guess that’s why the scene and the music attracted me.”

The hours from “Dusk to Dawn” signify a time when you can cast off your inhibitions and be free for Tophat. “The history reminds me of why I’m even creating music, about my past, my feeling of techno-punk, then and now and everything in-between which has been of significance to this album and my artistry”. It’s this refusal to conform, working in tandem with his sonic perfectionism that makes “Dusk to Dawn” such a compelling, neo-romantic soundscape, a free-associating moon-walk through time and space. Thinking back to the time in Ibiza, Mr. Tophat remembers “the turquoise sky and the coloured sea in peach were faded together into a seamless vision, the horizon was impossible to navigate; meanwhile the bright dusk was filled with hate, darkness and mayhem. Nature - so simple, but still so complex.” “Dusk to Dawn” tells the tale of those nights.

Best squeaky ball for the buck!!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
my 90lb Pit, LOVES these balls.. and they have been lasting for months!! The squeaker is ok, those are lasting a week or two.. but that's better than average for my guy. At $4 a ball in the 4 pack, it's a great deal for a dog that loves a new toy every month .. I give him one at a time, the 4 pack lasts for many months of fun.

Durable and Fun!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
My dog LOVES these balls and barks with excitement when the box arrives. These balls are super durable and a great size that does not allow them to roll under cabinets and sofas.

Aggressive chewer squeaky ball
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
These are fun for about a day for my young Doberman. They tear and the squeaker gets dislodged inside the ball making it not so fun anymore. Have purchased multiple times bc they’re inexpensive but found one he cannot chew through now online Not for aggressive chewers sorry.

Spikey Balls Outlast Both Dogs!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
Our two golden-doodles have destroyed many of the chew toys I foolishly invested in. I used to measure their lifespan and durability in a matter of minutes. Shredding toys seemed their delight and specialty. Squeakers were often attacked with spectacular ferocity as if they were tests of canine ingenuity to find ways to get to, swallow, or otherwise destroy the squeaker mechanism. That is until they met these spikey dog balls with attitude. Our girls delight in chasing them down when thrown and have wearied themselves trying to figure out a way to chew through them. These balls have broken the household record for longevity. They've taken a licken and continue to squeak and delight our girls. Which delights us! Safe, great value for the money, cute, and the color has proven tough through heat, rain, lots of aggressive chewing.

Immediately rolled up under the sofa!
Size: 4.5 Set of 4
I was looking for toys that were durable, that our GSD puppy would like, and that would specifically NOT roll under the sofa every time he swatted at it because I’m tired of moving the couch every 5 minutes to retrieve another toy. This toy went under the couch within 5 minutes of opening the package. He doesn’t seem to enjoy playing with it as much as he does a regular tennis ball, it’s easier to throw far outside IMO (my husband doesn’t notice a difference). It’s not hard or soft, it’s kind of a combination of both with the knobby bumps on the outside. I speculate the bumps are part of what he doesn’t enjoy playing with. He is able to pick it up and carry it easy enough and when he does it squishes just enough for him to carry it, he’s 5 months old by the way. But the bottom line is this will likely become yet another “outside toy” in the sea of outside toys because if not I’ll be constantly fishing it out from under the couch!
