Dosem - Silent Drop

Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

'Full of melancholy-frosted electronics and emotive swells of classical piano, the new single from Nordic duo Ólafur Arnalds﻿ and Janus Rasmussen is a delicate, icy slowburn' – NME

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.

SoHaSo (Something Happening Somewhere), the label run by ormer Trouw resident Nuno dos Santos, is celebrating the summer with not one, but two compilations. Selecting unique pieces by artists known and unknown, the SOMEWHERE series feels like a sound-based confessional. Telling unheard stories, exposing unseen surfaces and unheard sounds.

SOMEWHERE I and II are set to be released digitally, a vinyl sampler with a selection of the tracks featured in the full compilations and as well as a very limited run of CD’s. Something is happening somewhere, once again.

The first release contains some true sonic pieces of art, by contributors that have erected the label's reputation in the first place: Love Over Entropy, Presk, Sigward and of course Nuno Dos Santos himself.

The Premiere featured today comes from Polynation, who brings us a nearly 9-minute thriller in the form of 'Anther'.

Release Info: 
As​ ​the​ ​wind​ ​whistles​ ​through​ ​your​ ​hair,​ ​everything​ ​passes​ ​you​ ​by​ ​in​ ​a​ ​blur.​ ​Faster​ ​and​ ​faster you​ ​go,​ ​faster​ ​and​ ​more​ ​terrifyingly​ ​into​ ​the​ ​abyss​ ​you​ ​fall.​ ​You​ ​scream​ ​with​ ​a​ ​mixture​ ​of panic​ ​and​ ​joyful​ ​abandon​ ​half​ ​wanting​ ​this​ ​to​ ​never​ ​end​ ​but​ ​knowing​ ​that​ ​it​ ​will​ ​anytime​ ​now: a​ ​smile​ ​creeps​ ​across​ ​your​ ​face.​ ​And​ ​as​ ​it​ ​ends,​ ​you​ ​breathe​ ​a​ ​sigh​ ​of​ ​relief,​ ​wistfully remembering​ ​with​ ​powerful​ ​emotive​ ​accuracy​ ​before​ ​hurriedly​ ​joining​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​the​ ​queue for​ ​another​ ​go​ ​-​ ​after​ ​all,​ ​it’s​ ​just​ ​a​ ​ride.​ ​Life​ ​is​ ​very​ ​much​ ​like​ ​the​ ​‘Blitzbahn’.​ ​It​ ​goes​ ​up​ ​and down,​ ​round​ ​and​ ​round​ ​and​ ​for​ ​much​ ​of​ ​the​ ​ride,​ ​we​ ​never​ ​know​ ​what’s​ ​going​ ​to​ ​happen. 

Here​ ​on​ ​his​ ​fifth​ ​studio​ ​album,​ ​Oliver​ ​Schories​ ​explores​ ​all​ ​the​ ​fun​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fair​ ​across​ ​13 expansive​ ​cuts​ ​that​ ​showcase​ ​his​ ​incredible​ ​knack​ ​for​ ​straddling​ ​that​ ​House/Techno mid-point​ ​with​ ​consummate​ ​ease.​ ​Some​ ​artists​ ​take​ ​years​ ​to​ ​craft​ ​their​ ​albums,​ ​agonising over​ ​every​ ​detail​ ​before,​ ​frustratingly,​ ​deleting​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​project​ ​and​ ​starting​ ​again.​ ​Oliver, however,​ ​is​ ​as​ ​prolific​ ​as​ ​he​ ​is​ ​confident​ ​of​ ​his​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​construct​ ​the​ ​kind​ ​of​ ​dance​ ​floor bombs​ ​that​ ​have​ ​helped​ ​him​ ​to​ ​build​ ​a​ ​significant​ ​head​ ​of​ ​steam​ ​in​ ​the​ ​underground. 

As​ ​someone​ ​who​ ​considers​ ​himself​ ​a​ ​DJ​ ​first,​ ​Oliver​ ​has​ ​an​ ​uncanny​ ​knack​ ​for​ ​finding​ ​a groove​ ​and​ ​his​ ​musicality​ ​far​ ​exceeds​ ​the​ ​normal​ ​for​ ​the​ ​genre.​ ​With​ ​international​ ​festival appearances,​ ​club​ ​nights​ ​and​ ​the​ ​new​ ​crown​ ​of​ ​Global​ ​Underground’s​ ​latest​ ​NuBreed​ ​artist, it’s​ ​safe​ ​to​ ​say​ ​Oliver​ ​Schories​ ​can​ ​deliver​ ​and​ ​deliver​ ​his​ ​does​ ​in​ ​spades.​ ​On​ ​previous albums,​ ​certain​ ​themes​ ​rise​ ​to​ ​the​ ​surface,​ ​themes​ ​of​ ​belonging,​ ​of​ ​love​ ​and​ ​of​ ​togetherness and​ ‘​Blitzbahn’ ​continues​ ​in​ ​that​ ​vein.​ ​But​ ​these​ ​are​​ ​a much​ ​more​ ​focused​ ​collection​ ​of tracks​ ​written​ ​over​ ​a​ ​mere​ ​few​ ​months​ ​in-between​ ​his​ ​hectic​ ​DJ​ ​schedule​ ​which​ ​showcase the​ ​direction​ ​his​ ​music​ ​has​ ​developed​ ​in​ ​recent​ ​years.
