After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

V i v i d - Fool Of Infinite & Queen Of Fate

Inside Out Records are proud to announce the release of a debut full length album from Vivid, which is due out on September 28th 2015 and is a fine artistic statement. 

Vivid is Hassan Malik, a music obsessive forever and an established producer for the last ten years. He has been supported by the likes of Los Suruba in Ibiza and has released breakout tracks on their label. They hit the charts and announced Vivid to the world. Since then he  has been played by the likes of John Digweed and Ellen Allein and now this debut album shows he is not bound to any one style in particular. 

His debut album, Fool of Infinite & Queen of Fate, draws inspiration from every point on the dance music’s timeline. It is an authentic work with personalised flourishes, one foot in the club and one foot in the lounge. 

Opening with some moody, spaced out ambiance, the album then unfolds through textured tech, a trippy bit of house on the title track and some perfectly absorbing and hypnotic groves on cuts like Damsel Under Stress. 

There is a broad palette of sound on offer here, filed with colour and deeply rooted in real groove and musicality, and for that reason it is a charming listen from start to finish. Tracks vary in tempo and as a listen over all the album is carefully sequenced thus making for a real journey. 

This is a fine debut album from a producer who very much deserves to be known by a wider audience. Now that time has come.

It is, once again, the most wonderful time of the year. For all of us struggling to feel like it's Christmas, let me whisk you away to a magical land for just a few moments with "Immanuel."

I chose to blend my favorite melodies from two songs: Carol of the Bells and Veni, Veni, Emmanuel (O Come O Come Emmanuel) into a seamless piece of music. Because of the complex nature of these songs, I decided not to include lyrics - rather to accentuate my favorite pieces of each song with cello, fiddle and mythical vocals. Enjoy - I've made downloading free as a celebration of everything good, wintry, Christmas and magical...

Trails

Release Info: 

Mano Le Tough spends a lot of time in the club. In 2014, the Irish-born artist played more than 100 gigs all around the world - landing at number eight on Resident Advisor's annual DJ Poll in the process - but when the time came to make Trails, the follow-up to his much-lauded 2013 debut album Changing Days, Mano knew that a little time away from the dancefloor was in order. On the one hand, the album continues down the path Mano has been walking for several years now. Trails is full of slow-brewing, melody-driven tracks, many of them featuring Mano's emotive vocals; for fans of Changing Days, Manos earlier EPs, or even Maeve, the rising young label he runs alongside close friends The Drifter and Baikal, there is plenty to love here. At the same time, Trails finds Mano speaking - both figuratively and literally - with a more confident voice than ever before. While there's never been much doubt about his skills as a producer, Mano's career was largely forged in the DJ booth, and his many extended sets in clubs such as Berghain and Trouw have gradually lent his production work an impressive sense of patience. The songson Trails are never in a rush; they swell and blossom at a deliberate pace while blurring the lines between house, techno, new wave, ambient and classic pop music.
