The solo output of Reykjavik producer Janus Rasmussen can be best understood as a distillation of his many diverse collaborations to date. Originally from the Faroe Islands, Janus has spent the better part of the last decade creating, performing, and innovating with other artists across myriad musical genres, amassing a wealth of experience and inspiration that he now condenses into his own brand of experimental electronic music. 

Janus’s debut solo album Vín, saw him hone his minimal techno chops into an hour-long exploration of acoustic textures and electronic sound design that peaks and lulls like a well-crafted DJ set. In his most recent work, he meshes Vín’s dancefloor rhythms and dark sonic palette with his own vocals to craft a unique, melodic sound that runs counter to the prevailing current of electronic dance music.

Aside from his own music, Janus performs alongside Ólafur Arnalds as one half of KIASMOS.

«True Electric» returning to our roots within electronic music

"Tuur mang Welten"
OUT NOW via Unperceived Records
http://bit.ly/2fJS97G


„Tuur mang Welten“ - translated „Journey between Worlds“ is the melodious title of Niklas Paschburg's first EP. 

Niklas is originally from the big city, but lives in the countryside now. Aged four he played his first notes on the piano of his grandparents. Aged five he took piano lessons by his own request. Unlike other musicians, who feel a longing to move to world metropoles, Niklas, after having northern German harbors, seagulls, and fish markets in his life now enjoys the southern loneliness of forests, wide landscapes and the fragrant scent of pine woods. 
Inspired by both worlds Niklas creates an acoustic symbiosis in form of enchanting piano compositions with fine electronic additions on his EP „Tuur mang Welten“. 

His debut Single „DAWN“, which is also contained in the EP, captures the pulse of the city in a charming and touching way. While you are most likely to hear the echoes of urban life in this piece, "Tuur mang Welten" also features quieter and darker musical realms.

Max Cooper is an electronic composer, multi-disciplinary artist, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art.

He holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos.

Cooper has enquired for over 15 years through music, collaborations, and his label Mesh, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations, performances, immersive experiences, online media, music videos and live events.  Anchored throughout is his emotive approach, connecting how ideas and forms feel, in a manner accessible to us all. 
 
As an artist synonymous with the evolution of club culture, Cooper honed his craft as a DJ with a 10 year residency at legendary Midlands techno event Firefly where he formed a foundational relationship with Architecture Social Club, with whom he still collaborates on extravagant immersive installations.

"I want to encourage the acceptance of electronic music as an art form like any other. Bringing electronic music and abstract audio-visual projects into concert halls, museums and galleries is liberating - the art world opens up doors to communicate in ways that aren’t possible elsewhere."
  
Pivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious:
 
"In both fields, you're in a sense, free. Free from the limits of living systems, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind."
