@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.

Premiere: Arkajo 'Truth'

It spun round and round, a myriad of possibilities and lifestyle choices built upon it, each as seemingly important as the last but of no greater meaning within the context of space. This was life on earth and it meant so very much to each individual and so very little to the greater good. This tiny planet simply floated against a deep dark backdrop in which wild stars danced, the sun shone brightly and the cosmos ushered in new dawns every day. For now it was all they had...

Arkajo is back - this one is a feisty, bass ready affair which features two unique tracks and two killer remixes from Forest Drive West and Ebende respectively. Ebende's remix is a fast and furious club driven track, a deep house bonanza pitched upwards and destined for the faster floors.

Arkajo - Avasarala

After last year’s Fathomless Music, Arkajo returns to Aniara with further investigations into the beauty of soundscapes and the primal power of rhythm. Title track Avasarala is a slamming broken beat poem of cosmic melancholia. Soothing yet stirring, it offers relief from the many stresses of modern life.  Tape 16 conjures bliss in the union of rugged groove and harmonic invocation. From the depths of northern darkness, it calls forth glimmering lights in rhythmic locomotion. Closing off the record, Expansive Mood is a nordic style tribal groover for dancing in the open air of the great outdoors-quintessential Aniara and a real gem.

ARKAJO 1 Snippets

In a few days time, Swedish label BROR Records will be releasing their 8th offering into the world. This one being a compilation and featuring tracks by label-head DJ Lily, Jor-El, Mountain Range, and our focus for today; Arkajo. 
The name should sound familiar, as we’ve featured a few of his tracks, and mixes in past Fiction Lab posts. This go around is none the different, as Nils Krogh aka Arkajo has created a low-slung, heater of a track that stays true to the brooding nature of his Arkajo alias. Haunting vocals, coupled with a tribalistic percussion and melancholic pads give the track an edge that is greatly welcomed in our neck of the woods.

PREMIERE: Arkajo - Deadlock - [BROR Records]

Arkajo is one half of Genius of Time, the Swedish duo that brought us underground anthems on Running Back, Clone Royal Oak and Aniara recordings.

We’ve sneaked the exclusive of “It’s Only You”, taken from his forthcoming “Landslide EP” on Nilla - It’s one of those tracks that ostensibly is quite simple, but at the same time it is exactly the sort of music to which vinyl is suited...

Released: 04/03/19

ARKAJO 2: Dorisburg & Arkajo - Void Pyramid - A

Long time collaborators Alexander Berg and Nils Krogh - best known as Genius Of Time - team up for the first time under their respective own monikers. 

While their previous collaborations were mostly focused on house music, this solid two-tracker EP showcases the contemporary Göteborg-native techno vibe: combining successfully Dorisburg's heavy basslines with Arkajo's efficient rhythmics. Add the guys' unique pads and textures, and you'll obtain this playful yet profound release that balances perfectly between tribal and spacy sounds - a way to make a connection between ground and sky, some might say.

Out on May 6th.

Premiere: Arkajo 'Untitled' (Run Away With Me)

Swedish @Arkajo releases an EP on @Aniara-Recordings. Monument premieres the title track of the release, that will be out on December 9th.

MNMT Premiere: Arkajo – Nadir

His mind had been running wild, a tangle of thoughts that he couldn't seem to process. Walking at night had become the medicine in these moments; a brief respite from the eternal rat race of daily life. On this evening the stars above seemed to shine brighter than he'd ever seen before, each one letting off its own bright beacon of light. To him it was these instances that served as a reminder of just how small they were down on planet Earth...

 
Having previously released on labels like Running Back and Royal Oak, Swedish producer and DJ Arkajo - who also makes up one half of duo Genius Of Time - returns to Aniara Recordings, the label he co-runs with Fabian Bruhn and Dorisburg. His Nadir EP showcases his own contemporary take on electronic music; three tracks laced with intricate drum programming and heavy subs.
