Kornél Kovács - The Bells (Studio Barnhus)

2x 12'' vinyl / CD / digital / Release: 26.08.2016

A1. Szikra Intro – A2. BB – A3. Dollar Club – B1. Gex – B2. Josey's Tune – B3. Dance... While The Record Spins – C1. Szív Utca – C2. The Bells – D1. Pop – D2. Urszusz

For the past seven years Kornél Kovács has been busy rocking dancefloors and boomboxes worldwide as one third of Stockholm’s Studio Barnhus alongside Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. The label and DJ trio is spearheading a new era of fearless Swedish off-centre dance music, straddling the line between the cute and the menacing.

Anticipation for Kovács' debut album has been rocketing following stand out releases like 2014's wistful Szikra, last year’s mad party anthem Pantalón on Glasgow's Numbers imprint and the late night groove of Space Jam on Smallville Records.

On The Bells, Kovács pops open his trunk full of sounds nicked from the lost and found bins of nightclubs all over the world. From the distorted organ chords of BB to the stripped down trancehall beats of Josey’s Tune and Szív Utca and the title track's cinematic romanticism, it's all of the bells and all of the whistles - further positioning Kovács as one of the most characteristic producers of modern house music.

The record was completed in an intense two-week session with Kovács' great friend and studio engineer Matt Karmil in the winter of 2016. Another close friend, artist Malin Gabriella Nordin, has created the album artwork together with her brother Jonas.

Prompted directly by Kovács to give his report on the record, Studio Barnhus label boss Axel Boman had the following to say:

Kornél's bells will echo far beyond the nervous and trend sensitive ”dance" genre that our label sometimes is associated with, and into pop history. It’s one of our best, most innovative and creative releases to date, and the fact that one of my best friends has managed to do this on the label we share together makes me so proud that I want to cry. ”The Bells” is the reason I dreamed of starting a label in the first place.

Jad & The sends off the Ladyboy (he's fka Jad & The Ladyboy) and has a Going Away Party to celebrate. The party starts off with some Sad Cries (it’s always sad saying goodbye), then the Yeah Band starts playing to take peoples' minds off their sadness. After their afrocentric set, the guy who always has the Discogs window open and 45 adapters in his pockets jumps up and plays a Disco Dancefloor Tool designed to tease but please. Now that everyone's warmed up and ready for it, the next DJ drops some Underground Real Shit which even gets a nod from the high-brow DJ squad in the corner. The twelve people there lose their shit. Great night had by all.

Taken from the TREP022D by Dagfest "Sticky" EP

-----
On Sticky Swedish duo Dagfest bring a breezy, summer festival-ready release infused with plenty of vintage synths over the course of five original tracks.

Opening proceedings is Spacer Love Samba, a slow, upbeat slice of italo disco with a raw bassline and fuzzy synth loops that makes for a great mood warmer. Imagination blends elements of synth pop and italo into a lush and laid back slice. Also on the romantic side, Baby, I don’t know delivers low key euphoria in the form of a zig zagging bassline with low slung vocals. Punchy kicks announce Night Thoughts, a floor filler that captivates with its upbeat energy and elastic bassline. Equally compelling, but on a slower note, Chasing rounds off the release with a touch of melancholy.

Sublime stuff here from UK gear-head (by which we mean he loves hardware) NY*AK (@scotty5000)'s 'Afghan Jams' EP on @city-fly, which comes backed with remixes from the mighty Mark Hand and Ian Blevins. Thumping kicks and techno cymbal rides belie the sweet nature of this track, which centres around a glorious string sample and dreamy female soul vocals. Taut percussive rhythms fill in the gaps around pleasingly ploddy bass and urgent snare hits.

PREMIERE: NY*AK - Return [City Fly]
