Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen's collaborative project Kiasmos continues to spread Icelandic techno with new Thrown EP featuring remixes by FaltyDL and 65daysofstatic.

After having revealed the title track Thrown via XLR8R in April, Kiasmos announce the release of their Thrown EP featuring brand new track Wrecked and two guest remixes by FaltyDL – one of New York's finest electronic producers – and UK's industrial post rock pioneers 65daysofstatic in the form of a12"/DL on Erased Tapes.

A1: THROWN
Ólafur explains: ‘Thrown is the first track of the "New Kiasmos", so to speak. Actually, Thrown is kind of a remix of a new Ólafur Arnalds track that hasn't even been released yet.’ ‘It has become the track that we use as a reference for all our newer stuff’, adds Janus.

A2: THROWN (FALTYDL REMIX)
‘Remixing used to be a very special thing. Not so much anymore. And when you're done, it will end up as a free download and most likely not on vinyl. It's bullshit. So when I get the opportunity to make an actual record, an object that will last longer then any of us, I jump on it. I have pleasures in my life. Doing this remix was one of them’, says Drew Lustman aka FaltyDL.

B1: WRECKED
Janus: ‘I don't really know what we were thinking when we started working on Wrecked.’ ‘Wrecked is our experiment with a new Doepfer synth. The song is severely out of tune’, adds Ólafur.

B2: WRECKED (65DAYSOFSTATIC REMIX)
‘It was quite a challenging remix to do, because it's such a minimal, understated track. The usual 65 approach of pulling out key refrains and messing with them didn't work because the bass is such a unique, dark sound. Likewise, I was reluctant to add too much new material because each attempt at that quickly veered into writing what sounded like a new song. Too many remixes these days are done to provide quick and easy bonus tracks for artists to giveaway, which is a shame, because when done properly, I think a remix is a great way to see a track you're familiar with as a listener in a new way’, explains Paul Wolinski of 65daysofstatic.

Janus: ‘I'm really excited about the remixes. They are both very different from each other and give the songs a new life. It's always great fun to hear someone make the tracks their own.’


ABOUT:

Kiasmos is the brainchild of Icelandic modern classical composer Ólafur Arnalds and Bloodgroup mastermind Janus Rasmussen from the Faroe Islands. Based in Reykjavík, Arnalds used to work as a sound engineer – often for Rasmussen's main project Bloodgroup – where the two musicians discovered their common love for minimal, experimental techno music. They eventually became best friends, and Janus now often accompanies Ólafur's solo shows with his electronics. ‘I am really enthusiastic about this project. Finally, I can make music that people can dance to. Something refreshing for the weekends’, explains Arnalds in an interview with the German electronic music magazine Beat. The project is a good way for both artists to ‘get out of the house’ so to speak and do different music to what they normally do. Having released their 65/Milo split 12" with label mate Rival Consoles in 2009, this year sees the duo return with the hotly tipped Thrown EP and a string of European club shows. 

'A rich production of deep, subdued techno...sure to stick in your head long after the track is through' – XLR8R

'Linear electronic music that propels you to pastel horizons...a dreamy new track to ease you through the day. A gentle groove and washes of sonic colour underpin a deceptively simple melody that buries itself inside your head' – Electronic Beats

'Thrilling stuff, primed for the more discerning floors' – Bleep

'Extremely elegant and addictive, sharp and hypnotic' ★★★★ – The Milk Factory

Weval - Detian

Lulu Rouge are back with their 2nd album. This time they take that deep melancholic sound they have become known for, and progress it to the next breathtaking level. This means more intense vocal tracks next to their trademark powerful instrumentals. New and unique talents such as rising Danish indie star Asbjørn and mega cool Icelandic born Fanney Osk have been working closely with Lulu Rouge, uniting their edgy and mindful lyrics with equally intense soundscapes - a marriage made in electronica heaven. 

 The singers from the first Lulu Rouge album, Alice Carreri and Tuco have also crafted super strong songs to the album, and when the Danish music legend Annisette Koppel said yes to work on a song for this album, the Lulu's had everything they needed to shape the this deeply intensifying new album.  

 "THE SONG IS IN THE DRUM" are 11 tracks all dreamed, shaped and produced by two of Denmarks most skilled and respected producers, Torsten "Buda" Jacobsen and Thomas "T.O.M" Bertelsen. They have created an album which will grab you by the heart and keep you prisoner for 53 minutes straight. Welcome to the brightest dark place you've ever been. Release date: 29. April 2013
