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.

After several acclaimed releases on Black Butter Kidnap Kid debuted with his ‚Fall / Freedom‘ EP on FFRR beginning of June. On the release the 24-year old producer and DJ explored a deeper, more progressive style of Techno infused House, inspired by his extensive world touring. Now it is time for some proper remixes, and with OXIA and Tim Green on board the result is a disperse two-track gem.

Monkey Safari's new EP drops via their Hommage imprint and 'Walls' comes packed with some seriously good remixes. Josh Wink and Guy Gerber have turned their hands at editing the original but it's the inimitable Moby who's really done the business.

The electronic pioneer has reworked 'Walls' into a mystical and genuinely dazzling cut, one that features his gorgeous trademark string sections, huge bass hits, transcendent pianos and enough atmosphere to transport you straight to Nirvana. Incredible.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Ordinary (Original Mix)

Rounding off the seventh edition of Four to the Floor is ‘Aquamour’, the latest track from Laurent Garnier-supported Parisian Marst. The track’s more uplifting feel, relaxed pace and epic layers of chords make it a fitting choice to close off the EP.
