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)

Filip and his ongoing obsession with music is lifelong. Since his early age, he was involved in deep and spiritual stuff, as he cut his teeth while playing pipe organ in his hometown, experiencing rise and decay of Slovakian society. His morals just went down after studying musicology in Brno, where he expanded his skills and gradually found himself to be infatuated with various genres of electronig music. Founding member of CEREAL collective, he became integral part of Bratislavian techno underground, where he still keeps coming back from his current base of operation located close to Fuchs2 venue in Prague. Ongoing Decay of Morals is as good on decks as toying with various hardware and releasing his tracks, which are crafted almost with fanatical perfectionism. His selection spans wide - is it trancey prog, lush breaks, offbeat techno, electro or italodisco? Overdoseman’s usb covers it.
