Aspetuck's debut Lagaffe Tales EP 'Tonic' holds 4 airy and subtle numbers that give you the feeling you're floating through time without no worries. The energy builds up slowly right from the start with hypnotizing 'Crystal Clear' grooves which sets the mood for what's coming. Tonic EP is a journey through soundscapes that are familiar but still foreign somehow, kind of like a dream that you've just woken up from.

'Space Is The Place' is a four track EP from one of Iceland's most hard working producers @ask-ell. In a wave of newcomers that emerged into the scene around ten years ago, Áskell quickly made a good name for himself as a dedicated house DJ in the exciting Reykjavik electronic scene and eventually founded the label @borgltd.

In Áskell's own words the tracks were a product of experimenting in the studio where he's been evolving his sound for the past years.

The EP starts out with a lovely dreamy vibe as 'Space Is The Place' and 'Dimono' make good use of some of Áskell's synths. The last two tracks on the EP provide bangers for the late night. 'Uwah' is a wonky techy tune made in collaboration with one of BORG's co-founders @omaregill. and 'Straum' goes full techno with what can be perceived as haunting, hovering chords over a modular type of a beat.

We're truly happy to have one of our closest friends on the label, and we're excited to see what the Tales catalogue has to bring in the forthcoming year.

Lagaffe Tales is back with their next release in the digital only series. A fresh talent from Stockholm: Conformal. Dreamy fast paced deep house with some leftfield spices added to it, perfect winter vibes. 

The EP has a fusion mix of house and techno sound which translates into a pleasurable listening experience. Kosingen might resonate more with a dark room vibe while the tracks Juice and Mono + Gen Loss fall on the more brighter and softer part of the spectrum. Jonbjorn the label boss presents his take on the Mono + Gen Loss with a soothing remix rendering the EP suitable for a wide audience, wether it be on a road trip or in dark spaces.

PREMIERE: Conformal - Juice

It's a pleasure to add fresh new talents into the little label family that we have going on and so, we present yet another talented Swede into the roster. Conformal leads our latest Tales contribution with EP no. 22.

PREMIERE : Conformal - Mono + Gen Loss (Jónbjörn's Windy Autumn In Reykjavik Remix)

It had been a bitter winter; the kind of cold that you could feel in your bones. The nights came early and stayed for what seemed like forever, many could barely remember what the sun looked and felt like anymore. The snow had come and gone, taking with it all of natures colours. But on this morning, something changed. The branches of the trees had been bare for an eternity but now they brandished green leaves protruding from all angles, and in the surrounding fields vibrant flowers were working their way out of the ground. The change of seasons was upon us; brighter days lay ahead...

Icelandic label Lagaffe Tales are welcoming a new talent to the family, Swedish producer Conformal. Adding to their existing discography that includes Moff & Tarkin, Felix Leifur and Moony Me, Conformal's Juice EP flits between house and techno flavours, from the heads down dubby sounds of 'Kosingen' to the bright shuffling tones of our premiere 'Moss + Gen Loss'.

Our 23rd EP in the Tales series is in the hands of the Berlin based artist https://soundcloud.com/shelteronwax. Oranienstrasse starts off with a very atmospheric Detroit vibe in the title track followed by the euphoric dub vibes in Nanne. Joining Shelter on Wax we have https://soundcloud.com/moffandtarkin and long time label friend https://soundcloud.com/gnork have a go on the remixes each with their own rendition of Oranienstrasse. The different approaches make for an interesting combination of sounds on the same EP which should give most electronic music fans something to chew on. We first spotted Shelter on Wax some years ago when he released the track ‘Untitled (Pbar Cut)’ which first appeared on a rare dubplate which ended up getting released on Idealistmusic in 2018.

DC Promo Tracks #537: Shelter on Wax "Nanne"

The tall build overlooked the city with an overbearing sense of presence. The people who walked upon the streets beneath the towering beast were undermined and overwhelmed by its existence. It cast a shadow into the core of their homes and their lives. Within the confines of the luxury suites and the sprawling penthouses the rich would dine and play, happy in the carefree sense of disregard which was afforded to them by the four walls. Out there on the streets it was tough, a stark contrast to another life. 

Shelter On Wax is set to release a new EP called "Oranienstrasse" on Lagaffe Tales. The Berlin based producer offers great promise and we were also startlingly impressed by the Gnork remix which is lush, elegant house music at its finest.

Following a scorching seven year run of singles and EP’s, Austrian-Based Icelander Magnús Felix Tryggvason aka Moff & Tarkin is finally set to release his debut album on Lagaffe Tales. “Man of the Match” will be his fifth release on the Icelandic label, but only his first full length. Over the last two years, Magnús rediscovered his love for ice hockey and the whirlwind of emotions the sport evokes. He believes that a hockey game is much like a great DJ set, and most importantly, that having these emotions remind him that he’s alive. Like the rest of us, Magnus currently isn’t playing hockey or attending DJ sets, so instead he created a record that triggers those same emotions that he believes only live music or sport can.
Often mistaken for a duo (probably by people who haven’t seen the original Star Wars, what’s wrong with you?), Moff & Tarkin is a one man supergroup. He’s spent the better part of the past decade DJing around Europe and releasing music on heavyweight house labels such as Neovinyl Recordings, Travelling Records and Lagaffe Tales. In recent years, Moff & Tarkin has become somewhat of a resident on Lagaffe Tales, dropping four stellar EP’s that have seen him combine classic disco sounds with his signature thumping house style. 
 
Lagaffe Tales is run by Jónbjörn Finnbogason and Viktor Birgisson out of Reykjavik, Iceland. DJs and producers in their own right, Jónbjörn and Viktor found that the Reykjavík house scene lacked a robust network of venues and labels when they decided to launch Lagaffe Tales in 2012. They haven’t looked back since, becoming revered taste-makers in the Icelandic and global house scenes, and creating a platform for local talent to showcase their work. Lagaffe artists are often inspired by the natural beauty of Iceland’s landscapes, as the unique down to earth style of their music evokes images of such awe-inspiring terrain. Moff & Tarkin’s upcoming album is the latest Lagaffe release to embody this sonic vision, but this time with more intensity. 

 “Man of the Match'' is Moff & Tarkin’s hardest, most propulsive release to date, packed with 10 slamming cuts of ecstatic breakbeats, chords reminiscent of balmy Icelandic summer days, and thunderous bass-lines tinged with acid squelches. Lagaffe believes “this album is to House what Wayne Gretzky was to hockey”, and I’d have to agree with them. We have the privilege of premiering one of the songs from the album today, Best Abs Workout, a euphoric cut of disco acid house that will have you jamming out in self-isolation. (Watch Iceland’s man of the match Gylfi Siggurdson score one of the greatest goals of his career while listening for maximum enjoyment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it0zbrimOCk). “Man of the Match” comes out digitally on May 8th, 2020, just in time to soundtrack your summer.
