Brynjolfur - The Save EP

Faroese DJ and producer Brynjolfur is one of the leading lights of the Danish club scene, with energetic performances and a charmingly personal musical style. Having dropped the sun-drenched Chain Glass EP for Hamburg’s hafendisko at the height of the summer, he returns to the label fold once again with the shimmering disco delights of The Save EP.

"The Save" is an instant mash-up hit, combining disco cowbells and shakers, vintage house piano chords and rhythms, with the finely-tuned wispy vocals of synth pop. It hits the ground running, and build towards a big bright house breakdown that combines skilled songwriting with Brynjolfur's clubbier roots. 

"Time" takes an entirely different tack, emerging with a slow, brooding electro stomp at sultry tempo; it blossoms into instrumental track of cinematic proportions and suspense, that shifts into a cosmic-influenced beauty by the track's end.

Two sterling remixes round out the EP package, starting with a Dub Mix of "The Save" that gets it rough and ready for the dancefloor: the distinctive melody takes on a deeper unified tone, and new acid house elements get pushed to the fore; then a Kasper Bjørke remix of "Time" reworks it in the distinctive style of the deep nu-disco master, adding bright, uplifting melodies, but retaining the original track's slow, sultry tempo.

Melon Bomb man Juan Corbi makes his debut release via Anna Walls’ The Bricks label this week (24th June), and we’ve got the exclusive play of ‘Cosmo’ from it above.

Corbi is one quarter of Melon Bomb, who have been making waves on the White Isle over the last couple of years with parties of deep and soulful house at Pikes Hotel and Ushuaïa beach Club. And he’s subsequently adopted the island as his home, spending the quiet winters honing his production craft.

The first result is ‘Cosmo’, a dusty-chord 909 infused track that features vocals from indie-pop act Hyde + Seek's vocalist, Binky, as well as ocean deep levels of cosmic groove.

Listen to the exclusive premiere of ‘Cosmo’ above.

In these fast-moving times, where many acts come and go in the space of a few blog posts, it's becoming harder and harder to find artists with true staying power. Anu Pillai aka Freeform Five is one of those rare artists. A veteran of the dance music scene, he started to release records on the seminal labels Classic, Glasgow Underground and NRK back in 1998. He soon worked his way into the premier league of remixers, producing some of the most stunning reworks of the last decade for artists as diverse as N*E*R*D, Brian Wilson, X-Press 2 & David Byrne, Jamie Lidell, Justin Timberlake, Felix da Housecat and The Killers – as well as work for cutting edge labels like Warp and Cocoon. 
He’s spent a small fortune carbon offsetting his airmiles with DJ & live appearances at Fabric / The End / Ministry of Sound (London), Space / Manumission / Ibiza Rocks (Ibiza), Cocoon (Frankfurt), Watergate / Cookies / Week End (Berlin), Razzmatazz (Barcelona), D-Edge (Sao Paolo), Womb / Ageha / Unit (Tokyo), Rex / Social Club / Paris Paris (Paris), LAX (LA), and Lux (Lisbon) – plus tours of Scandinavia, Australia, America, and all the major festivals, including Glastonbury, T In The Park, Benicassim, Parklife and Pukkelpop. Anu has also released Freeform Five’s debut album ‘Strangest Things’ on Atlantic records, two massive DJ mix albums, ‘Bisous Bisous II’ & ‘Misch Masch’ and contributed to several of Kitsuné’s genre defining compilations.
Following a relentless touring schedule, Anu decided to take a break from Freeform Five a few years back to concentrate on writing, producing & remixing for the likes of Ladyhawke, Santigold, William Orbit, Eve, Lana Del Rey, Deadmau5, Little Boots and Roisin Murphy amongst others. He also set up boundary-pushing label Perspex Recordings with releases from Chicago legend Derrick Carter, French rockers Poney Poney /Jamaica (produced by Xavier from Justice) and Swedish auteur ‘The Subliminal Kid’ (producer of Fever Ray & Matthew Dear) along with remixes by like minded friends such as Gabriel Ananda, Riton, Tomboy & Riva Starr. 
Anu has always thought outside the box. His remix of Isolee's 'Beau Mot Plage' redefined the art of remixing, juxtaposing the micro synthesis of the original with intricate Afro & Latin polyrhythms, creating a bona-fide house music classic. Remixes of Llorca's "Indigo Blues" and Isolee's "Brazil.com" fused west African kora, Indian orchestrations and classical harp within a house music template and on the Freeform Five track 'Eeeeaaooww' he merged disco licks with Bounty Killer's dancehall patois. 
Anu returned to the scene by collaborating with Gambian griot and master musician Juldeh Camara (a member of Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters band) for "Weltareh" on Eskimo recordings.  He also hooked up with Berlin's white hot Exploited crew for the jacking pure analog "Brandy Alexander." And now on "Leviathan" he teams up with the legendary Roisin Murphy for an exercise in irresistible vocal power and anthemic feel good house.
Tom Trago, Compuphonic and Cage & Aviary join the the stellar list of super talented artists who've been invited to remix Freeform Five tracks (following on from Tiefschwarz, Radioslave, Alter Ego, Lindstrom, Mylo, M.A.N.D.Y, Switch, Ewan Pearson, Jackson & His Computer Band, Prins Thomas and Maurice Fulton to name a few) along with a stunning re-work from Anu himself.
