We pull the curtain on 2014 through the second volume in our "All Stars" compilation series. We're proud to look back and excited to look forward to what we like to call 'high quality eclectic electronic music' - a quite elusive term for what we've been looking for and promoting since day one. 

We always conclude that each year has been the biggest and most important in our artistic development and 2014 is no different. This year we've changed pretty much everything - from our logo to our approach - bringing 3 new imprints to life as to further encourage the growth of each sonic pallete among like-minded artists and followers.

We showcased our selection of the best 100 tracks released by and within the Origami Sound collective of artists and labels through the "2 Years" compilation, which also marked the end of free/donation-based releases. 
"All Stars: Volume 1" celebrated our fanbase growth and was a testament to the variety of music that we became passionate about over the years. 

"All Stars: Volume 2" brings together 5 previously released tracks and 5 exclusive contributions into a mission statement that is better heard then read. We're looking at a really classy 2015 on all fronts with lots of surprising releases from both new and highly established artists, most of which will also see a physical release. 

Follow our newly-launched website for constant updates and, in case you haven't been with us every step of the way, give our new imprints Clubwerks, Canvas and Forza a quick browse-through, you might find a concentrated dose of what you appreciated about Origami Sound.

Federation JI is the new project from Icelandic producer Felix Leifur and Japanese artist Daichi Saito. Known for his house, electro, and techno releases, Felix stepped away from the club circuit to challenge himself creatively, diving into live instruments and a wider range of songwriting. Over two years, he explored a palette shaped by ’70s/’80s jazz-funk and ’90s experimental rock, inspired by his dad’s old Japanese pressings and a love for exploratory sounds.

A chance meeting with Daichi in Copenhagen revealed a hidden thread of Japanese influence in the music, leading to a close collaboration. Daichi’s shimmering synths and textured keys reshaped the songs, adding a futuristic, dreamlike layer to Felix’s heavy grooves and emotive guitar work.

The album moves through slow-burning funk, cinematic textures, dreamy Rhodes melodies, and bursts of ’90s rock energy, balancing playful moments with deep, nostalgic undertones. From the warped guitar loops of Digital Súpa to the organ-driven drift of Sálmar & Suð, Federation JI is a conversation between two distinct musical worlds.

The result is something unexpected: Japanese/Icelandic future funk, soaked in atmosphere, groove, and emotion.

Producers Airbird & Napolian return with single "J.Park" and details about their forthcoming debut album, Mr. Foolish - a body of work inspired by west coast dreams and east coast nightmares. On Mr. Foolish, worlds meld to create a deeply engaging blend of American House, Cosmic Funk and Hip Hop. The producers' disparate environments are uniquely present in the material: New York sensibilities cut through in Joel's melodic bass lines, astral vocals and idiosyncratic song construction, while Ian, born and bred in LA, delivers consistently cool and heavy beatscapes, surrounded by psychedelic ambience and hard focus.

Airbird & Napolian is comprised of producers Joel Ford and Ian Evans, each established artists in their own right, who have combined forces for a record on Cascine. The producers met while working on Napolian's Rejoice EP (Software) and an easy chemistry took shape. 2013 single "In The Zone" was the first official product of their collaboration, which launched to an intensely positive reception by listeners and journalists worldwide. From there, Cascine commissioned an album, and two years later Mr. Foolish was born.
