Of Norway return to Connaisseur Recordings with a stellar three-track EP that follows their June ’21 mini-album ‘This Soft Apocalypse’ which is still garnering support from global heavyweights including Innervisions label boss Dixon. 

The Norwegian outfit now offer up ‘Dolphins’, three tracks that encapsulate their inventive sound that borders on genre territories throughout the dance spectrum: a praise for breaks in three different shades. Summery atmospherics and super hooky chords engulf the brooding breaks of the title track, with a nod to the past while keeping the production and intention of the track leaning into the future. 

‘Urchin’ comes in with unbounded strength. Menacing reese-bass tones quiver across a metric spread of clever, splashy breakbeats and mind-altering sfx. Expect the unexpected!

Closing track ‘Shoal’ could be the next monumental set opener. A storytelling piece with mysterious middle-eastern vocals, filtered drums and an undulating synth bass hook that draws inspiration and reminiscence from some old 90’s leftfield/electronica whilst being endlessly captivating.

Formerly CF&M, now evolving as XCFM 

Originally from Rosario, Argentina — widely regarded as the cradle of progressive house — this electronic music duo began their journey in 2016, quickly gaining recognition across central Argentina with performances in Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and their hometown. A key milestone came when one of their tracks was featured in a Resident set by Hernán Cattáneo, earning them early international attention.

After stepping back to focus on raising their children, the duo has reemerged from their new base in Italy, creatively reborn. Inspired by Dixon and the ever-evolving landscape of modern techno, their sound has evolved into a deeper, more hypnotic, and emotionally charged aesthetic.

Their artistic resurgence is already bearing fruit, with a recent release on Mumbai Records, the label curated by Alex Medina — an artist closely associated with the influential Innervisions collective.

With fresh energy and a mature vision, they are preparing new releases and live sets that blend the soul of their South American roots with the forward-thinking pulse of the European underground.
