Arkajo returns to his self-titled imprint this September for its third release, featuring two originals and remixes from Forest Drive West and Ebende. Gothenburg, Sweden’s Arkajo has been releasing his contemporary twist on House, Techno and Leftfield Electronica for the past five years under this guise as well as Genius Of Time, a collaborative project alongside fellow Swedish artist Dorisburg. Here
he returns to the Arkajo imprint following on from his and Dorisburg’s ‘Void Pyramid’ back in May 2019.

‘Truth’ leads the release and pieces together Arkajo’s signature tribal tinged, off-kilter percussion with heavy doses of shattering subs, modulating synth work and hypnotic vocal chants. Livity Sound regular Forest Drive West then steps in remix duties, twisting ‘Truth’ into a murky, subtly unfurling eight minutes via cavernous reverbs, resonant
percussion, sweeping bass tones and intricate processing of the original parts.

The second original from Arkajo opens the b-side, entitled ‘Earth’ and retaining a similar aesthetic the Swedish artist fuses bumpy broken drums with thunderous subs, bubbling echoes and menacing pads. Aniara artist Ebende then wraps up the release, switching
things up to a more classic house feel courtesy of a winding Hammond organ hook, shuffled drums and airy chord sequences.

Following his acclaimed remix on Arkajo 3, Swedish wonderboy Ebende is back with two breaky hypnotic bombs perfectly fitting Arkajo's whitelabel imprint. Pugilist and Arkajo steps up for the remixes.

Arkajo is back on his own label with two originals and two remixes by kindred spirits, Polygonia and Konduku. Starting with the warm Entwine, stepped-out beats laced with swirly stabs. Polygonia's finishes off the A-side with an organic and atmospheric rework; saturated in deep, trippy, rattling tonally percussive flows.
Arkajo's Signature leads the B-side: broken drum patterns with whispers from the realm between where Sweden and the UK meet. Konduku settles the score with his dark and eerie 4x4 techno take. A diverse record to keep in the bag for both hazy basements and the upcoming summer season.
