Ohms Love is Eivind Johansson Vullum’s debut solo LP. 
It consists of a selection of tracks made over a four-year period. Drawing from his experience in field recording, film music composition and club event curation, Eivind sets forth a seamless collection of melodic and meditative beat-free music that stands out yet fits in the rich history of Norwegian ambient music. The form of Vullum’s electronic compositions reflects his background as a sound designer, which has had a strong influence on the dynamics and the narrative elements in his music. Ohms Love will be released on HMD Records Friday March 4th.

Eivind Johansson Vullum (b.1984) is a Norwegian musician, sound designer and DJ. Vullum has since the early 2000s been active in different bands such as the kraut/psych-pop four-piece Sally Suicide. From there, he ventured into a more electronic direction sonically. He was one half of the hardware techno duo Bloksberg, which made a name for itself with its leftfield techno in clubs both inside and outside Norway. As a DJ and promoter, he presented his concept Klubb Kadabra at the club Blå in Oslo for over three years, focusing on promoting local underground DJs.

Vullum holds a BA in Sound Design from the Nordic Institute of Stage and Studio (NISS) and is currently studying Musicology at the University of Oslo. Over the last few years he has worked in sound design and music production for short films and other visual projects such as the interactive installation Speisa –performed at the Ultima contemporary music festival in Oslo– and for the Kube Art Museum in Ålesund. His most recent collaboration has been with the artist Thyra Dragseth.

Side A - SPYKIDELIC - Drink Full & Descend (44:00)

Been holding on to this tape for a while now. Last summer I received this A-side from Spykidelic (Tony Wilson) some years after sending him an overenthusiastic, borderline embarassing text message asking him if he'd be interested in participating in the series. Listening to the mix in the afternoon sun, as a heavy breeze carried big foamy swells up on the rocks, I got hit by a bold and creative style of mixing that seems to be forgotten in this age of branding and categorizing electronic music. The art of mashing-up a broad array of genres (like going from rap to Autechre), the fusion of well known sounds like Twin Peaks, Pink Floyd and Lord Gregory by Shirley Collins alongside heavy hitters, and the choice of including his own vocal performance “Vokills”, which he recorded with Human Inferno at the late Hell's Kitchen in Oslo, make for a simply incredible tape.
“Drink Full And Descend” reeks of idiosyncratic flow and bold and beautiful cuts from the actual best kept secret of Oslo DJs. They say Norwegians are born with skis on their feet and Brits with turntables under their hands. I don't know to what level Tony Wilson has developed his cross-country skills, but I can surely hear this South Londoner's dedication to the art of mixtapes.

Side B - WHALESHARKATTACKS - Entropy Beach (44:00)

The natural choice of an artist for the B-side fell on Tony and I's mutual friend, musician Viviana Vega. After listening to Tony's mix on the rocky swells of Hvaler, I came to think about the time Viv and I went for a swim together between slippery peach colored rocks, the carpets of ever moving seaweed and aquatic fauna enveloping us. Vivi found time to make this mix after completing her second solo album and releasing projects with Ost & Kjeks and Metronomicon Audio. About the mix, she says: “The title ‘Entropy Beach’ came to me while thinking of my favourite seaside spot in Hvaler, imagining it evolve over millions of years through climate change and long after humans are gone. I wanted to make a mix that sounds mellow, nostalgic and aggressive at the same time. "Entropy Beach" can also be understood as an expansion of the soundscape of my upcoming album 'Music For Pink Nights' on Metronomicon Audio."

The mix consists of looped samples, some which are sung and layered, as well as of field recordings from her phone, instrumental versions of songs from "Music For Pink Nights" and some unreleased material. In addition to a few rips, she also got permission to premiere a song by friend and collaborator Martin Skjold, AKA Christmas Boy.

While patiently creating the mix, Whalesharkattacks experimented with broken tapes, youtube clips and recordings stretched and pitched, their respective sound qualities blending naturally within the reels of the analogue cassette and playing to the strengths and limitations of the medium.

 1.Erosion 2. * 3. WAIT. 4. Baywatch (instrumental) 5. Burger Time 6. Christmas Boy's Summer Bells 7. Teenworld 8. Straightouttabed 9. IamwhatIam 10. Rich People Taste interlude 11.

HMD Records are proud to present our 17th split-release cassette by Oslo’s one and only PURPURRPURPLE (No) and Paris best kept secret ZULU (Fr). Staying true to the original format of releasing split mixtapes, HMD asked Annette Kvithyll (Purple) to curate a mix and select a match for the flipside of this contemporary club friendly analogue item. A 2 x 47 minutes wide range journey through both new and classic downbeat, electro, house, techno and tastemaker trance, leading into everything from North African rap, step varieties with drips of pop infused sample based signatures from Parisian producer Zulu.  
 
PURPURRPURPLE
With trance-aesthetics, sharp and grinding beats free from boundaries PURPURRPURPLE has been creating tracks and DJ-sets within a raw format since the golden age of mid 00. As one of the most experienced DJ’s from the Norwegian circuit, blessing countless clubs and festivals such as Roskilde, Sonar Stockholm, Øya, ByLarm, Way Out West, Norberg, CTM Berlin, PURPLE is known for her taste in blending not only RnB (witch she absolutely kills), but also various sub genres. Bass heavy rhythms, channeling rude New York Club and sub loaded sounds of London, as well as small independent labels across the globe. PURPLE features in a variety of projects within the creative underground of the Scandinavian contemporary art and club music scene and experiments with making music for fashion lines. Growing up in Hell, Norway, she has given the Oslo club scene memorable moments providing hard drum club nights such as ‘Ball Em Up’ which explores the very forefront of nightlife soundscape together with Slick Shoot, Drippin, Dj Skwar and Fakethias.

ZULU
Zulu presents music that is in motion and moving. With focus on future club, dub, beatmaking and ambient, references can also leave club music behind, evolving to interstellar dreamlike paths. With his collective “Bruits de la passion” and DJ residence for LYL Radio, his mixes and productions tend to have a personal approach on pop music which offers singular, poetical and rhythmical encounters. With his album “Smart & Loyal” from the new Parisian label Deardogs, Zulu offers a strong and sensitive inner dance experiment.

ISMISTIK - Live @ Borgen 1994 (HMD18)
Cassette only release. 100 copies.
Dropping 16.06.23

Bandcamp: https://hmdrecords.bandcamp.com/

This cassette contains a recording of Ismistik (aka Bjørn Torske) live in concert at Borgen in Oslo on the night of October 30th, 1994. The concert was held as a release party for "TOS.CD", a compilation CD which was Tromsø label Beatservice’s first release. The live set was recorded on DAT, and the recording then lay untouched in Bjørn's archive for over two decades. All of the material from this set is previously unreleased, with the exception of the track “Miditrip", a version of which was released on the first Ismistik 12-inch. The only people who have heard this material until now - besides Bjørn himself, HMD and mastering engineer DJ Sotofett - are those who were at Borgen that evening.
The live set was made especially for this concert. “I had many sketches lying around which I stitched together into a live set. I was making music all the time, and a good part of it never came out," recalls Bjørn. "It was a lot of work to prepare the concert. This was long before you could play live with just a laptop, and there was a lot of equipment that had to be transported on the train to Oslo. The aisle was full, so I had to put the Juno synth in the luggage rack above the seat. There was no time for a sound check at Borgen and the acoustics in the room were difficult because there was concrete and pillars on all sides. I had to play everything live on the spot and it shows: some of the sounds are quite high in the mix. At the end of the live set, the DAT player fell to the floor, so that's why the sound suddenly cuts out in the second-to-last track."
The seed that would grow into this release was sown in 2017 at the event Graff & Grill, which is held every summer in Moss under the auspices of Sex Tags and Kambo Super Sound System. Bjørn DJed there that year, while HMD collaborator DJ Kompressorkanonen attended as a guest. At one point, Bjørn asked him if it was possible that he was present at Borgen that time in 1994. And he was right! Bjørn then mentioned that he had the recording of that concert somewhere, and that he could send it over. The recording arrived in Kompressorkanonen’s inbox a few weeks later. When made aware of the existence of the live set, HMD CEO Jan Mayen had the idea to have it released on cassette. Bjørn gave the project a thumbs up, and the rest is history.
“Play it loud, close your eyes and imagine that you are standing in a run-down concrete hall with a smoke machine on full blast. Because that's exactly how it was.” – DJ Kompressorkanonen

HMD002 OMFORMER - Ascending / Distance

https://hmdrecords.com/

Omformer travel through the recesses of an ancient musical cosmos, reaching back in time toward the gestation of club music, where Ambient and Trance traditions converge at the heady heights of 140 beats per minute. Mikkel Rev and Oprofessionell combine efforts as Omformer in a 40-minute sojourn through the outer reaches of club music. The Uteklubb affiliates have been excavating the enduring sonic palette of 90s influenced club music for the past two years through Oslo’s UTE.REC label and clubbing consortium. They moonlight on local label HMD for Ascending/ Distance, a record that moves between effervescent ambience and heady transience.

Omformer stake their claim on the dance floor, bouncing through the first half of Ascending on vulcanized 808 beats and malevolent 303 bass-lines. Keys and pads stretch elastic tendrils into musical stratospheres where beatific melodies float across the turbulent rhythm sections. Halfway through the first track, Omformer abandon the dance floor for the second room, indulging the ambient proclivities that the Norwegian producer duo have come to cultivate across impressive one-hour compositions for their Sine sub-label. Serene pads, tracing wispy melodic threads through insouciant atmospheres create elegant pastures of sound through the second half of Ascending, which is then siphoned over to Distance for the most part of the record. Arpeggios flicker through an arrangement that languishes in the static realm of ambient music with the distant echo of a kick drum counting out the beats in calm meditation.


Ascending/ Distance finds Omformer during a creative flurry of activity that has seen a slew of records and tracks come via their UTE.REC label and sub-label Sine. Together with Uteklubb, they’ve been leading a charge for Ambient- and Trance music in Norway for the better part of three years, with events, DJ sets and live performances laying fertile ground for a new scene growing out of Norwegian woods.

About:
Jan Mayen immortalises five years of Hjemme Med Dama with a compilation that floats through the serene pastures of club music with tracks from some HMD favorites and same new arrivals to the catalogue. With a mood solidified in slow energy and downbeat, the EP strikes a particular chord with the times and the theme of the young Oslo label. 

“Why it is a downbeat selection is more or less random,” says Jan Mayen head of HMD, but after receiving Slangejente’s “Svart Slitesterk Teip Rundt Hjernen,” a compilation EP took shape, with Helene Rickhard, Florian Kupfer, Kim Dürbeck, Fredfades, Imaginary_FRND, Sagittarii Acid and Wasserfall contributing to the release. 

“Svart Slitesterk Teip Rundt Hjernen” is a sweet melancholic affair with kick drums jutting out in great peaks through an opaque cloud of visceral melodies and airy harmonics. A tumultuous dreamscape, it sets the tone of a record that could go from room 2 to touching the sky where Sagittarii Acid’s flinty synthetics and squawking 303s rain down on hasty kicks drums counting four to the floor. An all-encompassing record with everything from Liquid Drum n Bass to Trance contained in wax, it represents the extensive range of HMD and Jan Mayan’s proclivities.  

A concept that grew out of bedroom mixtape and into one of Oslo’s most dedicated platforms for original music, Hjemme Med Dama has gathered an impressive list of contributors to its ranks, stretching from Oslo to Finland and Germany, solidifying the concept on this disc, while also looking towards the future. 

From Helen Rickard’s new-age plucks to Wasserfall’s ambience as deconstructed soundscape, HMD003 drifts through deep ravines between musical paradigms; lost in an introspective sonic landscape amid sweet contemplative melodies and lethargic progressions.
