The Onion (A.V. Club)
To be sure, the beats and atmospheres of diskJokke tend toward what could be called tacky extremes. But there’s also a darkness to them--a fertile sense of mood that amplifies dance-floor energy as well as the kind of pathos that adds a little something extra.

The Norwegian DJ does a deft job of ambling between Italo, folk, disco, acoustic sounds and the odd sprinkling og old-school video game beeps here and there. [Winter 2008, p.100]

cokemachineglow
To me this sounds like clear-headed music for lovers of straightforward disco pop--an unblemished set that asks haters and the insecure alike to wait behind the velvet rope where they’re most comfortable while the rest of us throw a cloth over the lampshade in the living room and put on a really great record.

Pitchfork
There's more to diskJokke than bulletproof connections; his spacey electro-disco is technically impressive and effortlessly appealing.

PopMatters
Dyrdahl’s efforts on Staying In find disco, house, and techno beats mingling with textured, digestible melodies and intricately woven atmospherics.

Under The Radar
Norway's diskJokke debut full-length features the most fun aspects of his playful, electroid digi-disco. [Spring 2008, p.88]

Uncut
The buoyant beats of his debut seem well-judged to invite a wiggle whether your "booty" is on the dancefloor or wearing a groove into you favorite armchair. [May 2008, p.94]
