'Charlie Thorstenson delivers a stunning work of art in this 13 track LP

What gets us excited about the live electronic artists that we work with is their desire to push boundaries with their art to find their own voice, create a unique sonic identity, and Charlie Thorstenson has really achieved this with his album Kretsloop!

This amazing collection of 13 tracks that are connected in time and sonic space like the moments in a day and yet, they have this ethereal other-worldly quality to them that places them out of time and space too.

Imperfection makes perfection. Those are the leading words in his creative process. The fascination for finding unusual details and rhythms in long and unstable effect lines is a big part of the sound.It’s a close collaboration with both new and vintage hardware, where everyone gets to have their say. Long and improvised recordings are left with their unpredicted quirks. Often embracing them and giving them a leading role in the productions. 

Charlie’s background as a Swedish producer is solid, having released on Josh Wink’s Ovum label and performed live at Richie Hawtin’s Enter events, he has been able to build on these achievements to further develop his art. 

Kretsloop is the result of experimentation and improvisation with his live set up in combination with location recordings and experimental configurations. He seems to join the dots where before there weren’t any. This is a galaxy not like any near our solar system. 

In Charlie’s own words: 

“Kretsloop is a wordplay of the Swedish word "Kretslopp" (cycle, as in biological cycle).

I see my tracks as a snapshot of inspiration. I often don't have any clear picture of where I want to go with a track. Instead I try to get into a flow where the sounds themselves lead the way. 
 
The process is very interesting and you discover that there isn't just one way a track can sound. But at some point the brain needs to step in and decide which of the paths to take. Then a new journey begins...
 
I record a lot more material than what is used in the finished tracks. I sometimes get very attached to these discarded recordings...  I began to sketch up the idea of recycling my own work, putting it in a new context and turning it into something bigger than what I've made so far, an album. 
 
I wanted this album to breathe and really feel "alive". All sounds are electronic, made with machines and effects, but carefully crafted into something very organic. Something that could be part of the biological cycle. Kretslopp. A cycle that keeps looping. A cycle that keeps looping. A cycle that keeps looping. Kretsloop.“

'For our next release Unlearn:Records heads across the Pacific to Japan, where Tokyo's Poison Ghost has crafted a tune full of raucous energy, pulsating rhythms & playful twists. Label head Doc Brown is back on board as well, crafting a remix with a rolling bassline & his signature underground sound. The release ticks all the boxes, effortlessly straddling the revered trinity of electronic music--electro, house & techno--and both mixes are sure to raise the temperature wherever they're played!'

'Spectrum march head-first into 2022 with this dark matter platter from one of Manchester’s most respected DJs: Jozef K.

Following releases on the likes of True Romance, Rawax, Last Night On Earth and Frau Blau, Jozef maintains the spotlight heat with his debut on the label founded by one of his biggest influences.

“I remember I closed an event DJing after Joris Voorn when I was 19 in Manchester,” says Jozef. “It was surreal; I had watched him playing a few times previously and was completely awestruck to play after him when I was basically a little kid.”

Now 32 and really hitting his stride, Jozef lands on Spectrum with a distinctive, discerning minimal sound. “These two 2 tracks are an accurate representation of where I am at musically at the moment - dystopian, hypnotic and atmospheric.”

We couldn’t put it better ourselves. Stripped right back to the most mesmerising elements, tailored for deep mix creativity or those magic 4am moments, we suspect this isn’t the last we’ll see of Jozef on Spectrum.'
