Second single from the upcoming Electric Eye album "Different Sun". 

/////////////////////////

ELECTRIC EYE – DIFFERENT SUN

January, 2015: A new year’s hurricane is ravaging Bergen. Its aftermath rips and tears into the Western Norwegian town for a week. In Broen Studio, where Electric Eye are plugged in, the walls constantly shake from lightning, thunder, violent downpours and wind. It probably isn’t a coincidence that “Different Sun”, album number two from the quartet, is a record full of fickle and dramatic energy. It’s veritably crackling from fuzz guitars and psychedelic organs. Electric Eye have definitely landed. In the eye of the hurricane.

Through 40 minutes the listener is this time taken on seven journeys, all drenched in tape echo, sitar sounds, backwards guitar solos, bongos and monotonous fuzz bass. A dynamic rollercoaster where the landscape soon fluctuates between open and calm desert moods, and then suddenly ignites the rocket engines and leaves the atmosphere once and for all. The Bergen-based group, consisting of Øystein Braut (guitar, vocals), Njål Clementsen (bass), Anders Bjelland (keyboards) and Øyvind Hegg-Lunde (drums), are thus following up their debut album “Pick-up, Lift-up, Space, Time” from 2013 in a brilliant way. 

That the phrase “the journey is the goal” may seem tired doesn’t make it less truthful. For Electric Eye this is the fundament for their musical existence. Long musical journeys in wide landscapes where the moods and the overwhelming, absorbing and repeating themes play a key role. As a listener you have two choices: either you’re with it, or you leave it. With «Different Sun» on the turntable, the choice is easy. 

Electric Eye’s own journey must be considered to be modest seen from a universal perspective, but with the members’ previous experiences from solid musical projects like The Megaphonic Thrift, The Low Frequency in Stereo, Hypertext, The Alexandria Quartet and Junip, the quartet have built for themselves ia well-constructed spaceship. «Different Sun» was mixed and mastered in Duper Studio by the honoured Jørgen Træen, so it sounds beautiful.

After their debut album the quartet received a lot of attention, especially from abroad. The music press and the bloggers were effusive in their praise of the band, who turned up on many best-of-the-year lists and were played a lot on radio stations in the USA, England, Argentina, Mexico, Holland, Denmark and Belgium. Electric Eye have drawn notice as a live band, too. Since 2013 they’ve toured both Europe and the USA, plus participated in music biz conferences like Eurosonic, SXSW, The Great Escape, Iceland Airwaves and the Spot Festival in Denmark. The response has been overwhelming – the biggest coming from the psychedelic music scene, who in every way have had their eyes and ears opened to the band. 

It’s fully possible to hear traces of the golden psychedelic reveries of the 60s and the lyrical and scenic progrock of the 70s in Electric Eye’s music. A dose of motoric, German sounds must be mentioned, plus Indian drone music. But «Different Sun» is first and foremost proof of Electric Eye as a band who in every way are present in the moment, where they guide the listeners on a perpetual musical journey full of surprises. Fasten your seatbelts and look for a different sun!

Different Sun will be released on Jansen Plateproduksjon, 5 February, 2016.


Mercury Rise (Leca remix)

BERANEK - Dra Te Hælvete (Todd Terje acid remix)

Out now on Eskimo Recordings. http://newsrecords.lnk.to/mechanicalsparrow 

Deep in the depths of Norway (Bergen to be precise), https://soundcloud.com/atella and O. Martin have been brewing up ‘Mechanical Sparrow’ for Eskimo recordings, with club remix and rework from Man Power.

The original gives a nod to their expansive environment and the sounds of Air or Royksopp, sweeping melodies, majestic vocals, and luscious French “Phoenix” guitar. The Atella Club Mix is friendlier for those seeking out the ebbs of the night, while Man Power’s remix reveals the bare bones of ‘Mechanical Sparrow’, it’s delicate wings in pensive flight contemplating a divine dreamstate, in the style of Mount Kimbie and Bonobo.  

Atella are Magnus & Johannes who hilariously stumbled upon each other at a piggy back race. They have remixed fellow Norwegian Lindstrom and indie-electronica outfit Lemaitre. They debuted on Eskimo with ‘The Monster’ back in 2014, a track that was recently featured in ‘Scream’, the TV series spin off from the film trilogy. Back then they were remixed by UK electronic darlings, Stubborn Heart, while Atella’s latest release features a remix from another UK aficionado, Man Power, the elusive producer for his work on Correspondent and John Talabot’s Hivern Discs.

The track features O. Martin, a close musical ally of Aurora (infamous for the music on the current John Lewis Christmas ad) which gave life to this collaboration, as Atella explains “When Atella and O. Martin met in the studio in Bergen, Norway, there was chemistry right away. They just started jamming, recorded several acoustic instruments and then brought in the organic-electronic sound. O. Martin composed text and melody and Mechanical Sparrow was born.”

3. Vinny Villbass - The Itch (Alejandro Mosso Remix)

INFO
At the helm of the Norwegian club scene, Vinny Villbass is the next to release on Eskimo Recordings with ‘The Itch’, featuring remixes at the hands of highly acclaimed duo Whatever/Whatever and Berlin resident Alejandro Mosso.

Finding his way back onto Eskimo after ‘Lust For Wrong’ featuring Ost (from Ost & Kjex), Vinny Villbass unveils his latest offering. ‘The Itch’ unfolds with haunting synths that infiltrate the lower frequencies, progressing into an array of emotive chords. Heavy atmosphere penetrates the outer layers of Whatever/Whatever’s remix with rich keys carrying the melody into an acid tinged dancefloor affair. Alejandro Mosso offers a further interpretation with tribal, broken percussion underlined with stirring intensity.

Vinny Villbass has operated as a musical peace envoi and Norwegian club DJ for almost 15 years. He’s behind the Badabing, Sunkissed nights and runs his djcommunity
and web radio OsloClubCast. He’s also one of the curators behind the ‘Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory’ project and formerly played guitar in diskJokkeBand.

Justin Strauss ( of Milk 'N' Cookies fame) has become one of New York City's most iconic producers and DJs, spinning at all of the best clubs in the world. In 2008, he teamed up with Bryan Mette to form the duo Whatever/Whatever. They’ve remixed the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Woolfy and Yacht at the height of the Indie dance scene around the start of this decade and are now breathing new life into the project with recent remixes for Inflagranti, Pollyester, !!! and.. Vinny Villbass.

Argentinian born Alejandro Mosso has been releasing music since 2004 and recently appeared on Prins Thomas’ ‘Paradise Goulash’ with the track ‘Tre Melodi’ (with Joachim Holm). Since he founded his Mosso label in 2011 and signed a Live recording for Cocoon Ibiza in 2013 his profile has been in steady growth.

Disco In Odd Times

Diskobeistet’s Birkelunden EP touched on the classic paper sound with added Norwegian vocals and was a hot one for us last year.  So hot in fact that now we’ve stuck it through the remix machine just in time for summer.

Vinny Villbass takes it across the ocean and gives it a stripped back NYC spin.  The result is a no messing, late night jacked up workout with added hypnotising synth shots and rolling drums & percussion but still retaining the original hooky chords.

Richard Seaborne never fails and this time he channels the spirit of Todd Terry by way of Leeds.  Machine gun snares, filtered bass and keys aim straight between the eyes and score a bullseye for dance floor dynamite.

Haugli takes the groove deep but his mix ramps up deceptively with a three note synth rolling bassline that steams along like a lost take on a Johnny Cash session.  Chords & pads from the original swirl in & out to up the cosmic ante for a very playable slice of modern dance music.

Boxing things off is new track Dypet that rolls a phatty and thumbs a lift to the after party.  Lazy, hazy almost broken beats with some serious enticing synth sounds and basslines make this a definite addition to any discerning post club mixtape.

Waiting For The Thunder (Jaakko Eino Kalevi rework ft. Jófríður/Samaris)

Snorkel Records is the synthesis of two great friends, Musician Olefonken & Artist and fellow snorkeler, Brother Ibrahim. Our label believes in full orgastic potency and the amazing discoveries that lay in wait for us on the ocean floor. 
Marking the very first release on Snorkel Records is a three track thermal sound wave, described by synesthete spokeswoman Carol Steen as the sound of shimmering colors steeped in ethereal flavour, indulged in deep sea nitrogen drunkenness. Fire up your lava lamps and rejoice.

PREMIERE : Olefonken - Cousteau [Snorkel Records]

Ny EP på vei. | www.facebook.com/verdensrommetno/ | Cover: Emir | Foto: Mrt Eed

lyrics:

jeg ville lagt det bak meg
kan du legge det bak deg
jeg har lagt det bak meg
folk ler ikke av deg
de ler av meg

(de tingene der)
de tingene jeg kjenner nå
så blass og rå, kjenn til meg nå 
du klarer ikke engang å stå, jeg har et punkt hvor tingen slår
hvor tingen slår
(gjør det for lett å forlate)
(du bare gjør det for lett å forlate)
hvor tingen slår

jeg har tenkt på en annen 
jeg lover, jeg har tenkt på en annen
for jeg har tenkt på en annen
jeg har tenkt på en annen [x 4]
han har tenkt på en annen [x 5]

skulle gjerne gitt deg alt, men har ingenting å gi
du har dessverre blitt en kjerring som jeg holder litt på si
prøver å være ærlig, men det ender bare kjipt
for den tingen som vi hadde var ikke ment for å bli
for du vet hva du gikk til
du kan bli med, bare litt til
for du vet hva du gikk til
du kan bli med, bare litt til
for du trodde på det selv når du sa det
at det ikke var noe mer enn en fase
og du drøyer det hver gang vi skal si hade
men jeg vil ikke være kjip når jeg drar vekk, nei
vil ikke være kjip når jeg drar vekk
men du gjør det for lett å forlate
gjør det for lett å forlate
du bare gjør det for lett å forlate

jeg har tenkt på en annen [x 12]

hold rundt meg, for jeg har holdt rundt deg
du har et grep rundt meg

4. Don't Wanna Dance (Doc L. Junior Horror Dub)

Syntax Erik is Raymond Hansen, originally from Tromsø, Norway, now living in Oslo. He has been releasing music under various aliases from 1997, first as K.Y.D, then as a part of the duo Kyd & Kango. First donning the name Syntax Erik in 2002, Hansen released an EP with Rune Lindbæk’s Romklang label and remixed the likes of Mari Boine, Anneli Drecker, Flunk, and The Familiar under this moniker. Over the years he has maintained steady production efforts with personal tracks, many for his own pleasure. 

Syntax Erik is presently on a roll with a series of fantastic EPs for Beatservice Records. 2015’s EPs, Keep It Deep and I Can Feel You, were met with wide acclaim from the likes of Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space), Terry Francis, Pete Herbert, Flash Atkins (Paper Recordings), and Robert Owens. Now Erik busts forth with the Don’t Wanna Dance EP, the third in the series. This time, the tracks are more focused to the four-on-the-floor side of deep house but with Syntax Erik’s distinctively funky touch. The title track is propelled by old school embellishments, a high-hat heavy drum loop, and some serious acid. The key breakdown adds some unexpected loveliness. “Love Jail” grabs the dance floor with its swinging, jackin’ beat, buzzy synth bass, and melodic arpeggiations and pads. Things get a bit moody on “Back On Track” which builds masterfully using bright layers of synths and keys. As a bonus, veteran producer Doc L. Junior (Music For Freaks, Paper Recordings) rounds out the EP with a more floor-heavy treatment of “Don’t Wanna Dance”, which he lovingly refers to as his Horror Dub. 

.
Severino (HorseMeatDisco) – “Yes! Great Doc L. Junior remix of Don’t Wanna Dance.”
Gavin Hardkiss (Hawke) - “I love Eric’s sound. +++”
Sunshine Jones (Dubtribe) – “Lovely.”
Phonogenic (Turbo / Cocoon) – “With Syntax Erik you don't know what you're getting but the getting is always good. And weird.”

Andy Riley (Toka Project / Drop Music) – “Love Jail is cool.”
Iron Curtis (Hudd Traxx / Mule Electronic) – “Title track sounds huge!”
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing – WCRT 88.3 FM) – “Nice chunky acid grooves!”
Zach Van Lue (107.7 FM – The End) – “Damn, this is filthy.”
Deep South Audio (Volcano Radio) – “Nice twisted jacked out beats. The Doc L mix is a winner.”
