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

Release Info:
Two years after his first release on our label we are very glad to have “Love Will Say No” from northern Italy back with another stellar mix of styles mini album/ extended EP! From Dark Disco to Cut up House and soulful Groove, you can find it all in this beautiful package of songs. Always looking to the farther left field side of dance music and never forgetting the strength of the dance floor sound, something that really touches us and makes us proud to release, certainly what Dirt Crew always stood for in our 20 years of existence. A true unique style!

This time we let the artist himself put some words on the tracks as it really describes his sound in the best possible way;
Carry the Fire - One of my musical myths since I was a kid is for sure the birth of Hip Hop and those early days.

Kool Herc and the merry-go-round, those breaks, those grooves, the essence of dancing stripped to the bone. Even today, with all that technology available, that must be the seed of what we’re doing. So this track is my tribute to that. And happens to be released exactly 50 years after the birth of Hip Hop. The title is a reference from “The Road” by Cormack McCarthy, and also if I chose that when he was still alive, in the end happened to be a tribute also to him.

Time Is the Perfect Lover - Yes it is. Damn power of memories to distort the reality of our past, tryin’ to trick us.

You’ll Know When - A French touch track like many I wrote in more than 20 years, but full of the bittersweet eyes of a 40 years old man.
When you’re 20, you hope for things to happen. When you’re 40, you hope to be able to recognise when things happen.

Gonna Summer - First track I wrote as Love Will Say No, almost 10 years ago. Never satisfied with the first result, I wanted to give new life to it. The Roulé seed is still there, the mellon collie rhodes chords too, but now the groove is working for a late sunset as I always hoped.

Red Window - Summer. Late night. Making music in my apartment. Too hot. Almost pitch dark outside on the streets, with no sound a round. Just one single window in sight. With a red light. Never discovered anything more.

This War Is Finally Lost - Ending a relationship, of any kind, could be a relief. Even if we lose. Winning is not important anymore as is ending. Exactly like wars.

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne. 
Music Written & Produced by Love Will Say No.

Kim April lands on Nuts & Volts with a four-tracker built for the floor and the fade-out. “Yes” opens with a tough, bassy punch. “1212” brings a more psychedelic tackle, laced with tripped-out vocals and slippery drums. The rest keeps things rolling —  tough, but never too serious.
