Artist Detailed Info: Double Space

There are at least 2 bands using the name Double Space:

1. A stoner/sludge 3-piece based in Aarhus, Denmark - formed late 2003 around the recording of a handful of songs the two guitarists Mikko Mansikkala Jensen and Rasmus Rosenkilde Jensen had written together. Drummer Per Silkjær was initially brought in as a session drummer. Yet the DOUBLE SPACE universe instantly engulfed him. The heaviness, the curious guitar melodies and the persistent search for the ultimate in every aspect of making music.

And even before these recordings were to be released and receive high appraisal from Danish underground press, the first show was played supporting Electric Turn To Me and Lost Sounds. Over the years stages are shared with a ton of bands, including Unsane, Fuck The Facts and Ufomammut, and a reputation as a mind blowing live act is established. Dreaded by headliners - loved by stoked audiences.

Another break is caught when Danish Metal Award nominees Rising step up and ask DOUBLE SPACE to support them on their 2010 European tour. A two track maxi 12”, mixed by Q (Danish indie rock darlings Figurines, Tiger Tunes, Beta Satan a.o.) - an avid DOUBLE SPACE fan - is released by the band for the occasion.

Immediately upon the return from the tour, late March 2010, four new songs are tracked live with Jacob Bredahl (ex-Hatesphere, Last Mile, The Kandidate) by the helm at his Dead Rat Studio. ”There has never been so much low end in this studio!” Bredahl confesses at first. And then he proceeds to torture the band to deliver their all-time best.

Things are indeed looking up for Double Space, and the nearest future has been dedicated to obtaining worldwide distribution for the debut 12”, hunting for a vinyl label to release the next one, and not least, torturing Bredahl until he delivers the mix of a life time. ..

2. The Israeli band DOUBLE SPACE plays original musical settings of Israeli poems by renowned Israeli poets, alongside instrumental pieces. Their music is diverse and eclectic, influenced by classical music, jazz, progressive rock, world music and more.

Double Space established by Gilad Cohen and Zohar Sharon, two students from the composition department of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. They decided to set music to Israeli poems, while creating their own creative and extraordinary interpretation to the lyrics they are dealing with, and writing complex arrangements designed to details. They added two other students from the academy – Yakir Sasson and Nadav Rogel.

In January 2006, Double Space released their first album, WINDINGS. The album was self-produced, with the entire music and arrangements written by Gilad Cohen and Zohar Sharon.
The core of the band consists of two voices, bass, guitar, keyboards, drums and saxophone. For the CD, over 20 guest artists joined in on instruments such as flute, oboe, recorder, oud, and melodica as well as 3 background vocalists and a children choir.

Double Space are:
Gilad Cohen - voice, bass, guitars, keyboards and melodica.
Zohar Sharon - voice, piano and keyboards.
Yakir Sasson - saxophones.
Nadav Rogel - drums, percussion and vocals.
