The sounds of Norway are back with us as Karl Fraunhofer (now going under Karl F) drops an E.P. of insane sounds...if you was after something that ticks the 'acid house-warehouse rave-arcade machine soundtrack' boxes then this is the E.P. you've been looking for.

Title track Altered Beats is one of the most unique things we've ever heard, pumping, broken beat, acid rave style vibes leads into a monster chug drop with insane synth work throughout.

Future Express retains the uniqueness and goes straight in for the italo/cosmic vibe with a stunning breakdown that is straight out of Streets Of Rage but with added whallop & thud...this has got to be heard to be believed.

Timothy Clerking teams up with Massey to deliver a warp factor peak time acid slammer rework of Altered Beats whilst Karl's fellow country men Rolf Royce & Oddvar Bråk tackle Future Express and drizzle it in that cool unique Norwegian charm with the result being an almost hi-nrg Norwegian Disco makeover...mega!

Support & love from:

Robot 84: "Quality release, Clerkin & Massey Remix is serious... Future express also Funkin sweet, midtempo electronic funk!!!"

HiFi Sean: "Nice bit of freak out Italo vibes here!"

Hardway Bros/ALFOS: "Future Express - OG - Yeaaas Mate!"

Jon Dasilva: "Love this! Great EP! All mixes really cool..that's rare!"

Altered Beats

Karl F - Altered Beats

“(…) ALFOS pilot, Sean Johnston, has a ton of music to about to land. The most balearic of which is an E.P. for Le Temps Perdu. Released under the moniker A Mountain Of Rimowa** the record packages 4 originals, plus a remix by the NYC team of Justin Strauss and Max Pask. Each of the tracks bears a recognizable sample, or recreation there of, spanning the genres of soul, post-punk, and house. But these aren’t edits, or even “radical reinterpretations”. More affectionate nods. Since the borrowed bits aren’t core to the tunes. They aren’t the hooks. More an anchor, a leaping-off point. Sometimes only really evident in the intros and outros. Perhaps deliberately acknowledging the past while reaching for, and returning from, the future. No More takes a line from a soulful chart hit and kinda uses its sentiment – of love and understanding, an end to all wars – as its stance. Re-contextualizing these Shoom favourites in a purely electronic setting. Raining down racing arpeggios and anthem-ic piano. The production betraying its author`s love of Italo and synth pop. Joker replays a section of treated post-punk guitar / ambient isolationist dub. Using it to build a buzzing forceful throb around a skipping motorik rhythm, bleeps and a New Order-esque b-line. Brothers And Sisters In The West on the other hand bases its bass riff on that of an instantly recognizable 80s house classic. The new beat / EBM-flavoured Brothers And Sisters In The East is punk funk, whose bottom-end is hulking, muscular, Paul Simonon-like, while its guitars chop and change between tense and nervous Psycho Killer strum, and angular Mick Jones London Calling shapes. The beat like a machined Barkays` break. Pounding, but not pulverizing. Its echoed rimshots eventually escalating into an intense saber rattle.

**A Mountain Of Rimowa is a reference to the life of the “jetset” DJ, and high-end luggage. It is not – as I imagined – some occult Lovecraftian location. Then again, maybe it is.”

Matthew Crouse co-founder of Risky Disko (Philadelphia) has started a new project called "Museum Level". Museum level was a term coined by Alexander Shulgin, a psychedelic pioneer, and we feel like this music carries along that spirit.

Freeride Millenium label founders Jorkes return with a pair of superb new originals that get fine remix treatment from Zombies in Miami and Benjamin Fröhlich.
This Vienna and Munich based duo co-run the wonderfully idiosyncratic Freeride Millenium, have a residency at Romantica, Stuttgart and also host a radio show with Daniel Rajcsanyi on Radio80000. Over the last four years
they have released exclusively on this label and never fail to cook up left of centre deep house, disco and more with a unique perspective. Here they kick off with the atmospheric 'Wet Dreams' which mixes languid, rubbery bass with bubbling melodies and crashing hits. It's a darkly futuristic sound with a pained lead motif that keeps you intrigued as you're drawn ever deeper into an unusual world of sound. Mexican live artists Zombies in Miami, last year turned out incredibly well received releases for Running Back, then followed it up with a remix on Me Me Me, and have also realised their dark and alluring club sounds on Comeme. They remix 'Wet Dreams' into a more driving cut with pounding kicks and bold bass strokes that ring out into the depths of space before cosmic melodic phrases loop up top to bring real colour. Jorkes then serve up 'Insomnia', which pairs smeared pads and scale-riding chords with dark and heavy bass. The duality between the light of the ambience up top and shadowy nature of the bottom end makes for a beautiful and compelling tension. German Benjamin Fröhlich is an esteemed producer who co-founded Permanent Vacation, the label on which he put out his Italo, house, electro, disco- and boogie-inspired debut album last year. His fantastic Italo Drama Version chugs on tooting arps and slapping hits, with the mysterious pads from the original adding a sense of narrative as you stride your way through the night. These are excellently produced tracks that bring interesting new inspiration as well as real dance floor clout on a release that once again features unique artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi.

Joining Belgian like-minded souls DC Salas (SF003), Front De Cadeaux (SF008) and VoiceKoder(SF015) on Mugwump’s Subfield roaster, is now Jimi After, a successful soundtrack composer who sometimes discreetly ventures into electronic dance music. Past releases on NYC’s Throne of Blood, France's Correspondant & Days of Being Wild or Belgium's Smile/PIAS, were previously supported by a diverse cast of contemporary dj’s such as Bill Brewster, Marc Pinol, ALFOS, Daniel Avery, Jennifer Cardini, Cosmo Vitelli, Ivan Smagghe or Jimpster.  "Breaking The Ritual" is the first extract of the "Child Of The Sun EP" and sees Jimi After venturing further in cross-pollination with a strong cinematic, yet metallic feeling which effortlessly hybrids Rephlex esthetics with vintage cosmic and heavy kraut synths.
