Containing five synthesiser-led pieces, ‘Loon’ was recorded in autumn 2014 across five days at Nils’s Durton Studio in Berlin, and continues on from the ambient sounds of ‘Stare’ but with the addition of more percussive elements and dub influences. For this new EP the duo wired an Oberheim 4 Voice and a Korg PS3100 to the mixing desk and performed live takes on both instruments. With all four hands on its pots, all mixes were recorded straight onto 2-track ½-inch tape.

Like on ‘Stare’, their first collaborative affair in 2012, they simply followed what was laying in front of them, and this time they were driven by some new synths, a kick drum and tape effects. Indulging in dub, the tracks where all performed rather than engineered, with Ólafur riding a few elements on faders and Nils bringing effects in and out. After running several mixes, they went for the five strongest moments from this session. The release was announced on a joint website www.arnaldsfrahm.com together with the launch of an intimate 45-minute studio film titled ‘Trance Frendz’, featuring another seven improvisations.

“Nils got some new synths and we thought we’d try them out. We loved them so much that we didn’t actually end up using anything else to make these songs.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“When I was young I was smuggled to Goa parties by my brother. The music played there in the late nineties had a somewhat deep effect on me. ‘Loon’ is almost a blurry memory of these times. In other words, it is what I’d like to remember that music sounded like back then. In fact it sounded probably really cheesy.” – Nils Frahm

The new episode of the CultKitchen Radio Show @ Megapolis 89'5 FM - Moscow – weekend outro from the real music lover. Egor Sukharev, known to many under the name Khz, has explored different sides of electronic music. He studies sound engineering, does mixing and mastering, learns to play the saxophone and, of course, he writes his own music. His releases were shown to the world via such labels as Dumb-Unit, PRO-TEZ, Fullpanda Records and others. New ambient tracks led to Egor's appearance in the CRS. Experienced party-goers should also remember Jugendkultur events at the Shanti club, where Egor was one of the creators. Very beautiful and melodic story filled with live instruments is waiting for us in the new episode.

Release Date - 18th January 2018

In a world where things seem like they're going too fast, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to slow down, be in the moment and get recharged to tackle through anything. That's exactly what this album is made for, listening to music that helps you relax and get lost in a gorgeous landscape, boosting your creative inspiration to help you study, work or just for the sheer enjoyment of feeling your soul come alive. I've had countless people telling me how much my music has saved their lives and I'm so happy to be making this style again, it comes straight from the heart and I'm sure you will feel it too. 

I've put a lot into finding the right sounds and utilising ROLI's Seaboard RISE to get that organic touch, it's been perfect for getting that fluid motion of sound into my tracks. There's been an influx of dance music and it can become incredibly saturated when you hear the same synths used time and time again. This is what makes this album special, it's going against the grain and bringing back the soul that has been lost. As far as I can hear, this music is in short supply and I want to step up and bring the feeling of melancholic optimism back. Love life, be your genuine self and open your eyes to the world you want it to be.
