Icelandic producer Jónbjörn returns to his Lagaffe Tales imprint to deliver four vibrant cuts on the ‘BROT’ catalogue.

In a small valley between two mountains in the Icelandic Westfjords, you can find the source of creativity for the Reykjavík based Icelandic DJ and producer, Jónbjörn. As well as being an accomplished DJ, performing in Berlin, Vienna, Helsinki, Tbilisi and festivals such as Sonar Reykjavik and Secret Solstice, the last three years has seen Jónbjörn carving out a solo career both as a graphic designer, and music producer developing a sound of his own working with labels such as Neo Violence, FALK Records, D.KO Records and remixes on his Lagaffe Tales imprint – the label he’s been running for the past seven year runs with his friend Viktor Birgiss. In 2020 Lagaffe Tales will introduce more artists on the BROT series which @felixleifur started ever so memorably with a headturning trilogy in 2019.

The opener entitled ‘Shamisen’ kicks off the EP with stabbing electro drums, fluttering synth work harmonising with the gentle melodies throughout while ‘Anthophila Anna’ provides a more technofocused feel with raw modulations, acid-fuelled tones and surging, lo-fi rhythms.

On the filp, ‘Tinni’ deploys a menacing synth line, growing oscillations floating with the weight-driven kicks and snares offering up a peak-time dancefloor focused cut before ‘Sakuragawa’ rounds off proceedings with shimmering grooves harmonising with the aquatic tones and effervescent elements that pulsate until the end.

Limited to 300 copies (no repress)

"We've been quiet, but we are still here" - V​/​A [NV023]

Jónbjörn - Fantastic Plastic [NV023]

It’s been more than a week since Russia has invaded Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian cities and shattering the lives of millions of people, whose world will never be the same again. The Ukrainian music and culture community is devastated by the shocking crimes of the Russian government. We wish for peace in our country above all, and we are doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine.

Right now It is most critical to raise funds for the Ukrainians bravely defending their country, and for those, who had to leave their homes behind. Therefore, Standard Deviation has joined forces with @Mystictrax — a Ukrainian label run by Lostlojic, for our most important release: РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE — a compilation by 65 Ukrainian and International artists to be sold exclusively via Bandcamp. All profits from this release will be split between the following charity funds, supporting the people of Ukraine:

- The ‘Return Alive’ Fund, helping at the Ukrainian front 
- National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance 
- ‘Ukraine Pride’ Fund for LGBTQIA+ soldiers and LGBTQIA+ people affected by the war
- ‘Голос Дітей’ Fund, helping children affected by the war

We would like to express special gratitude to all the artists who got involved, mastering engineers who helped supporting the project, Poly Chain and Omon Breaker, who co-curated the release while being in the midst of war, Wolfgang Tillmans for providing the artwork, Julia Crescitelli for her video art, Ivan Tsanko for providing the typography, Modern Matters for helping with the release.

We are sincerely grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to every soldier, every volunteer, every activist, every person who brings us closer to victory and freedom.

Artists: 3Ddancer, Acidic Male, Albert Van Abbe, Alinka, Amber Cox, Aquarian, Arthur Kriulyn, Ben Sims, Bios & Poly Chain, Bjarki & Yet Unnamed Artist, Bodro, Carbon 96 (Zoë Mc Pherson + Ciarra Black), CEM, Clasps, D.Dan, DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess, Dasha Rush, Decka & The Lady Machine, Distortion, Eea Fka M.E.S.H., Elad Magdasi, Espen Lauritzen, Ezy & DJ Tool, Flora Yin Wong, Ghetto89, Hector Oaks, Henning Baer, Human Margareeta, Inatist, Incorrect Waves, JANEIN, Jay Glass Dubs, Job Sifre, Julia Govor, Jonbjorn, Kangding Ray, Laurent Garnier & Scan X, Lostlojic, Loweast, Mime, Marcel Dune, Mchy I Porosty, Kittin, Narciss, Nene H, Omon Breaker, Pablo Bozzi, Phase Fatale, Phil Molchanov, Podat & Panghoud, Projekt Gestalten, Quelza, Sasha Trey, Schacke, Sha Ru, Smezkh, Symonenko, Tapefeed, Terence Fixmer, Trs Kzk, Wallis, Whaler, Zvrra, ŸDV, ϙue, Wolfgang Tillmans.

The Lagaffe boys have a special one for you. Lagaffe 10 marks the 10th EP in our vinyl series and serves as a perfect way to end our 10th year in existence. To mark this occasion we are releasing a 4 tracker with our founders and label regulars.

The EP opens up with Cohen Social Club by Flexi Leifs aka Felix Leifur. Our man Felix lost his drum machines last spring but luckily he found a guitar and some drums. The track starts off with suspicious sounding guitar notes that somehow up as pure beauty, giving hope in the darkest of places. Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean. Playful reverbs and echos give the tune the classic Felix Leifur feel to it!

Moff & Tarkin has the next track "Pure Fury", some breakbeats and cheesy disco vocals, why change a winning recipe?

Next up is "We are not alone " by label boss Jonbjörn. I think this is what Elton John meant when he said "thank god for those electro bangers!" Solid 909 drum work featuring dramatic chords and some original vocal work. If you can spot the sample write us on Soundcloud and you might win a year's worth of LaCafe Tales!

With "Að handan" Viktor Birgiss comes back to the label in style. Our mastering engineer described it as having the loudest kickdrum in history, imagine that! Lo fi dub sounding drums interlaced with atmospheric chords, made for those late night intimate moments on the dancefloor, again Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean.

OUT NOW: oorecordings.bandcamp.com/album/splits…rolf-stendik

Splits is a new series of releases from OO Recordings that focuses on connecting two artistic minds into one split release.

The first installment is a Nordic affair with Iceland's Jónbjörn on the A-side and Finland's Torolf Stendik on the B-side. Though stylistically operating in different shades of electronic music, both artists share a knack for relentless experimentation, ingenious use of their chosen array of sounds, and Nordic quirks that are hard to put a finger on. The release spans a spectrum of glitchy experimental with hints of IDM and minimalistic techno with industrial twists on the A-side, whereas the B-Side combines slower, downtempo-ish tracks with deeper house cuts with acid tips.

Having been fans of both artists for years, we're more than thrilled to present to You the meeting between two mind-bending talents. The release is mastered by Noah Kin.

INFORMATION ON THE ARTISTS:

Jónbjörn
Jónbjörn is an Icelandic DJ/Producer based in Reykjavík. He has been previously seen on releases on such labels as D.KO Records, FALK, Neo Violence, Lagaffe Tales, and pompon records. Together with Viktor Birgis, Jónbjörn runs Lagaffe Tales and sub-label BROT.

Stylistically, Jónbjörn is known for a fine blend of 90’s IDM and industrial soundscapes, with a healthy dose of contemporary techno and electro in the blend. His productions are airy and even minimalistic, yet still driving and heavy. Time spent behind the decks, as well as years lived in Berlin, have shaped Jónbjörn into a producer that effortlessly balances weirded-out experimentation and dancefloor-friendliness. Breezy like a northern gust on the shores of Iceland.

SC: @jonbjorn
IG: www.instagram.com/jonbjorn/

Torolf Stendik
Speaking of windy coastal towns, Torolf Stendik hails from Vaasa, Finland. One of the many alter egos of Vesa-Matti Kivioja, Torolf Stendik has previously appeared on stellar releases on Meltdown Deejays and Studio Barnhus.

Combining a dub-inspired and playful approach to sounds with an off-kilter way of structuring a dance track, Torolf Stendik provides a weirded-out form of Nordicness. Torolf Stendik’s music feels like a constantly shape-shifting amoeba that can take you from point A into outer space in a span of minutes. Each track on the release - as well as pretty much each track of Torolf Stendik in general - feels like another step on a trippy night out.

OO Recordings is proud to present a damn near perfect blend of high-flying experimentation, moody ambient and dancefloor-worthy remixes in the form of an EP by the Ukrainian multi-talent Smezkh.

Taking the listener into a digitally distorted visit to a universal state of place known as a village, Smezkh paints an audio picture that is tranquil at times, yet surrounds the listener with hectic - even disturbing - moments that underline both the beauty that prevails in the world and the hardship of the time the artist and his peers find themselves in. Hope and universal lightness always exist but this is clouded by the terrors of mankind. A product of a disastrous time in their home country and the world at large, it is nearly impossible to hear the hardship that has engulfed the creative process from which this EP came. Even with cases of serious power outages, turmoil and personal distress, this EP is a testament to the very creative drive that makes us human and proves that art in many forms is a way to capture the spirit of an era and not just the facts and statistics.

This is an EP that deserves your ears, and no short-handed descriptions of the tracks could ever do it justice. The personal view of the artist on the release is to be heard and not explained. The EP is finished off by remixes by fellow ukrainian Revshark, the Helsinki-based Fleur Amser and Iceland’s creative mastermind Jónbjörn.

Artist’s note:
‘The tracks have eloquent titles for a reason, like the names of paintings or Ukrainian poems. These are memories, strong memories of childhood, summer holidays in the village, my great-grandmother, grandmother, cherry blossoms, a mud hut, and a big willow tree in front of the yard. But memories pass quickly, just like childhood. That's why it's important to preserve this treasure, it helps us to live on.’

Smezkh and OO Recordings would like to remind you of the importance of continued support to Ukraine. If you have the means, we would like to encourage you to donate to Future Sich, through this link: sich.ngo/en/donate and follow here: www.instagram.com/future.sich/

Icelandic producer @jonbjorn returns to his Lagaffe Tales imprint to deliver four vibrant cuts on the ‘BROT’ catalogue.

In a small valley between two mountains in the Icelandic Westfjords, you can find the source of creativity for the Reykjavík based Icelandic DJ and producer, Jónbjörn. As well as being an accomplished DJ, performing in Berlin, Vienna, Helsinki, Tbilisi and festivals such as Sonar Reykjavik and Secret Solstice, the last three years has seen Jónbjörn carving out a solo career both as a graphic designer, and music producer developing a sound of his own working with labels such as Neo Violence, FALK Records, D.KO Records and remixes on his Lagaffe Tales imprint – the label he’s been running for the past seven year runs with his friend Viktor Birgiss. In 2020 Lagaffe Tales will introduce more artists on the BROT series which @felixleifur started ever so memorably with a headturning trilogy in 2019.

The opener entitled ‘Shamisen’ kicks off the EP with stabbing electro drums, fluttering synth work harmonising with the gentle melodies throughout while ‘Anthophila Anna’ provides a more technofocused feel with raw modulations, acid-fuelled tones and surging, lo-fi rhythms.

On the filp, ‘Tinni’ deploys a menacing synth line, growing oscillations floating with the weight-driven kicks and snares offering up a peak-time dancefloor focused cut before ‘Sakuragawa’ rounds off proceedings with shimmering grooves harmonising with the aquatic tones and effervescent elements that pulsate until the end.

Limited to 300 copies (no repress)
