“Lost”, much like its predecessor “Into the Great Wide Yonder” (2010), serves not only as a logical continuation of his work, but also as yet another fuck-you to whatever genre you thought you had him boxed into. The Trentemøller sound is definitely left intact, yet as a whole it really doesn’t sound like anything he’s ever produced before. Few artists seem to possess that special talent of leaving the audience just as baffled as they are satisfied, but hey, that’s what’s great about Anders. He may alienate a few heads along the way, but it wouldn’t be interesting for him if he didn’t.

“People wanted something similar to the last album, but if you’re getting to the point of listening to people and what they think of your sound...Well, that's not for me.”  -Trentemøller

“Lost” boasts a dozen tracks with something of interest for anyone who’s ever been a fan of the Copenhagen based producer. You can’t really compare it to “The Last Resort”, but the club elements are there. It definitely isn’t “Into the Great Wide Yonder” either, even if it’s equally guitar driven. It’s as original as it is classic, mixing the tried and tested with all sorts of sonic surprises. And making it look easy in the process.

Differing from “Into The Great Wide Yonder”, which was a rather bold cinematic landscape, “Lost” is definitely a far more streamlined affair and way more “song structured”. It’s the kind of record one can only produce after endless months of studio isolation. Just where his creativity flourishes best.

That said Trentemøller has also found a new home – and it’s on stage with a band. “Lost” relays this epiphany in pitch perfect circumstances, finally merging the extrovert and introvert qualities the man has in his command.

Of course, none of his productions would be complete without those unique guest appearances, spanning a multitude of musical categories. They’re all given equal treatment when they’re dropped bang center into the middle of Trentemøller's very own musical universe, having to harness the potential of their talent on Trentemøller’s terms. It certainly isn’t that many folks who are capable of convincing Jonny Pierce (The Drums) or Sune Wagner (The Raveonettes) to appear on a club track and even fewer who are able to pull it off. Anders is in the top percentile of that lot. 

”I think it’s fun to take people out of their own musical comfort zone” he exclaimed to VICE earlier in the year when explaining his seemingly erratic choices. ”Actually, when I begun writing the songs, I had their voices in my mind all along. They just didn’t know it.”

Aside from Sune and Jonny, Trentemøller has managed to bring on board a whole rake of fantastic peers, personal influences and sprouting talent. Co-conspirators such as Kazu Makino (Blonde Redhead), Jana Hunter (Lower Dens), Marie Fisker, Ghost Society and none other than the legendary slow-core pioneers Low are all to be found on the record.

That trademark haunting feeling that defined both ”The Last Resort” and ”Into the Great Wide Yonder” hasn’t been neglected on “Lost”. It’s just been redefined and made way more ferocious, the signature glitchy bass being replaced by sub woofer frequencies far more pounding. Almost punk rock. Instantly conjuring up thoughts of the more droning SUICIDE tracks or even contemporaries like The Soft Moon.

”Lost” documents an artist really hitting his stride. An intricate musical tapestry woven over countless sleepless nights in his Copenhagen studio. Nights invested in instrument experimentation and trashed analog consoles.

You can without a shadow of doubt call this release a genuine study in the art of attention to detail. No matter how many times you press play on this one you’re going to find something you missed the previous time around. Something that suddenly shines a whole new light on what you’re listening to.

Originally issued in December 1999, 'Stand By' was created by DJ Garth & Eric James under the alias Rocket, with a remix by Solomonic Sound.

Original release notes:
Rocket blasts out of Babylon and into irie heights. Who would have spoken the prophecy that DJ Garth and Eric James would land in the same city of San Fran to produce their strongest single to date? At the controls of Grayhound Recordings and part of the legendary Wicked Sound System, worship recordings has been blessed again with another top notch producer with his alias Rocket which he holds tight with producer Eric James.

The original mix of "Standby' comes across with Rocket's trademark punchy drum riddims that are woven with dub explosions building the track into a strong tune that will guarantee to rock any dance floor of tribespeople. The modulation of the bass line changing keys gives the track even more of a lift to keep it bubbling along all the way to Zion.

'Stand dub' takes a liking to the original but simmers down a bit with some padded chords and a bit of a swing created by the drum riddim. A mix dedicated to that deep early morning set at a party or that small club that you never want to close when the lights are turned on. Nuff respect to the Rocket.

The flip is a creation formulated by no other than Worship's own Solomonic Sound (aka Rob Paine/Zach Eberz). Beginning the track with a sort of tribal ambience with the man reasoning about his definition of dub music it gradually escalates into shape and soon enough a rough and bass heavy 4/4 groove starts running the tune. With some dubbed chords and a sweet melody starting to take presence it drops into a heart beat to break the tune up and then set you straight back into the bass heavy riddim that will take your head on a serious trip into that spot where dub and house music walk hand and hand to the most love full heights.

Listen.......and you will enjoy.

His productions caught our ears immediately and are in a league of it’s own. 

We knew it right away it was fitting for our label. 

Lucas is also a wicked DJ, and a record clerk at Impressions Philly record shop.

Butter Side Up’s 12th release, Weekend at Raymond’s Place’ comes from San Diego’s hotly tipped John Manhard. A densely textured and unpredictable six-track EP whose languid groove and swing will sound equally sweet warming up a dancefloor or late into the following day. 

Based in LA and resident of cult party V:isions, John’s been on a roll of late, with releases on the likes of Mui Mui, Perfect Timings & InTheBagg (alongside Dylan Payne) cementing him as a singular producer with an impressively broad reference board. 

The EP’s first track, ‘Shake Your Body’ immediately gets under the skin, a bouncy groove and synth-line pulling you under its command. Over the next 30-odd minutes the spell doesn’t lift - deep house tropes twist and turn playfully over shuffling breaks and swinging basslines, reminiscent of West-Coast house’s finer moments. Manhard’s studio-craft and ear for the unpredictable give a fresh perspective to a much revered and distinctively Pacific-coast sound.

This is music for the fuzzy margins either side of peak time. It’s fitting that Hamish first met and heard John’s music at a hazy afters in LA back in 2022, drawn to a selection of tracks which were largely his own. Two years later these ideas have refined to form another stellar release on BSU, complete with original artwork from Max Binski and scheduled for release in early Ocober.
