https://soundcloud.com/moffandtarkin is back on Lagaffe Tales with a record that marks the 9th release in the Lagaffe series. The Austrian based Icelander provides two originals as well as a remix from label friend https://soundcloud.com/uffeisaband. 

The record starts off with Tension a break inspired banger with that special Moff & Tarkin twist. If you spot the sample let us know and you might win a coupon. 

The second track "Socks By The Sofa" feels like something that would work wonders at your local bowling arena or even shopping mall, some piano samples and vocals, you know the drill. 

The b side is dedicated to a massive Uffe remix, I tell you man, we had to write him back like 5 times and ask him to reduce that bass. Uffe takes Tension and turns it into a jungle journey a la Indiana Jones.

The Lagaffe boys have a special one for you. Lagaffe 10 marks the 10th EP in our vinyl series and serves as a perfect way to end our 10th year in existence. To mark this occasion we are releasing a 4 tracker with our founders and label regulars. 

The EP opens up with Choen Social Club by Flexi Leifs aka Felix Leifur. Our man Felix lost his drum machines last spring but luckily he found a guitar and some drums. The track starts off with suspicious sounding guitar notes that somehow up as pure beauty, giving hope in the darkest of places. Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean. Playful reverbs and echos give the tune the classic Felix Leifur feel to it! 

Next up is "We are not alone " by label boss Jonbjörn. I think this is what Elton John meant when he said "thank god for those electro bangers!" Solid 909 drum work featuring dramatic chords and some original vocal work. If you can spot the sample write us on Soundcloud and you might win a year's worth of LaCafe Tales! 

Moff & Tarkin has the next track "Pure Fury", some breakbeats and cheesy disco vocals, why change a winning recipe? 

With "Að handan" Viktor Birgiss comes back to the label in style. Our mastering engineer described it as having the loudest kickdrum in history, imagine that! Lo fi dub sounding drums interlaced with atmospheric chords, made for those late night intimate moments on the dancefloor, again Frodo with the ring stuff, if you know what I mean.

Premiere | Moff & Tarkin - Pure Fury (LAGAFFE010)

This year's compilation is dedicated to Mahsa Amini and the protest movement her tragic death has caused. We mean to make a contribution to support the situation of women in Iran by donating all revenues to the 'Center For Human Rigts In Iran' (www.iranhumanrights.org)

The works of long-familiar label associates as well as fresh fellows of Blaq Numbers from all over the globe compile yet another grand collection of sounds covering a broad spectrum from laidback jazzy vibes to glowing house and italo vibes. This one is spiked with 4-to-the-floor crackers and electro disco sensations.

Massive thanks go out to all the artists contributing their music ♡

Moff & Tarkin - Navi - FREE TALES 004

Tale of Tales is the first of many releases that we define as samplers. The samplers provide insight into the label’s artist pool, a mini documentation. In this first Tale we have four different Icelandic artists that have been prominent lately in the Reykjavik electronic scene. 

Magnus “Magnoose” Skarphedinsson opens up the EP with a dark and groovy track followed by a little bit more of an atmospheric track; Refractions, from the label heads Viktor Birgisson and Jonbjorn Finnbogason a.k.a. Lagaffe Tales. The track features the old school sound of the 707 along with some impressive synth melodies. The Salzburg based producer Magnus  “Moff & Tarkin” Felix continues to impress with another banger of a track that features nice loopy sampling action and the trademark Moff & Tarkin synth sound. Last but not least we got the honor of releasing a track by Iceland’s most productive and famous hip hop producers Intro Beats that has been very busy with house production for the last two years. The Silly Walkin track closes up the Tale on a dance peak and should mark Intro Beats well into the deep house scene. We are excited for the coming times at the label and have much more to present in the future.

Viktor & Jonbjorn

Moff & Tarkin - Take Me Home

'Moff & Tarkin'  is contrary to popular belief just one Icelandic dude name Magnus. Currently based in Vienna, Magnus spends a lot of time trying to make something that is not house (and of course playing it too). For some reason however, it always ends up kinda house-ish, but with a little twist - and to us it's this little twist that does it. The track 'Midnight Curfew' has indeed a feel-good vibe too it with Chaka Khan-samples and playful percussions. We truly recommend that you keep an eye and an ear out for this talent!

Our second vinyl release features four tracks from our own Icelandic Moff & Tarkin (https://soundcloud.com/magnusfelix). Big Mango Bangers gives us a good taste of the fresh style that the Vienna based producer has to offer. The A side has two great danceable house tracks, 'Naked' and 'I Got This' that should rock any good dancefloor with some superb sample action. The B side really ties up the record and features 'Mutual Distraction' a house track with an 80’s vibe and 'Skutla' a synthony which could really break up and reset the mood as a DJ tool. Each track has a place and the record is a great example of the diversity we try to encourage.

A1. Naked
A2. I Got This

Last week, we published a premiere of Kemback's ethereal remix of Kim Brown, a Berlin duo with a name that one would think belonged to one person. This week, we have the exact opposite - a scenario where we are premiering a track from Moff & Tarkin, a group that sounds like a duo but is actually just one person.

That one person turns out to be Magnús Felix Tryggvason from Iceland. When he's not busy using his name to make references to fictional Star Wars characters, he spends his time DJ'ing around Europe and releasing music on taste-making labels such as Neovinyl Recordings and Lagaffe Tales. His latest track titled Lakkrís (which means licorice in his native tongue) is set to come out on the latter at the end of October as part of Chapter 3 of the Tale of Tales compilation series. Featuring originals from Neovinyl Recordings label head Carlo, Ari Bald from the Swedish Klubbhuset and their very own Jonbjorn, the theme of this compilation is a farewell wish to the summer, a sort of reminiscence of the good times, with good friends and summer grooves.

Therefore, it's only fitting that Moff & Tarkin's contribution to the EP is named after something that is so bittersweet. Throughout the piece, the producer utilizes divergent elements of laidback disco and acid house to create a tune that sounds as if two forces are colliding - one that's warm and welcoming and another that's cold and subdued.

A proper track for the upcoming fall, make sure to grab yourself a copy to combat your inevitable seasonal depression.

PREMIERE: Moff & Tarkin - Lakkrís

https://soundcloud.com/moffandtarkin second Lagaffe instalment marks the label's 8th vinyl release. The release sports three original tracks from the Austrian-based Icelander and a remix from label boss Jónbjörn.

The record starts off with the track Buzz Lightyear, who flies us off out of the atmosphere filled beginning into the depths of the spacey synths, delays and feedback. 

Followed is the track Friends Be like, which feels like a refreshing strut down the boulevard where everyone you meet knows you and you know them but instead of saying hello you are wearing headphones and just strut down the street nodding, winking and walking in beat with true swagger. A track with confidence written all over it.

The flip side features the track Takk! which roughly translates as Thank You! in Icelandic. Maybe not roughly, but rather exactly. The track is dramatic and starts off rather stress inducing but takes a whole new direction when Moff & Tarkin adds in soothing piano chords and makes the track’s whole mood switch. Maybe its a fitting goodbye for the listener as you make your way through label boss Jónbjörn’s remix which has a very warm and feel good atmosphere, lush drums and elements that add on layers to the already great original. A very personal remix and a good ending to a great record that we hope you can enjoy.

“Krywald and Farrer launch new label Top Pocket Records. On the first release Moff and Tarkin introduce the EP with classic sounding house track, Trafalgar. It’s crunchy hi hats expose a raw, fizzy feel to it from the offset. As it picks up momentum, playful piano samples litter the show and a jaunty melody pave the way for an attractive finale.”

HSM PREMIERE | Moff & Tarkin - Trafalgar [Top Pocket Records]

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.

Tales 004 features the second release from the Icelandic producer Moff & Tarkin.
Long Shot Poems For Broke Players is an uplifting and groovy house track with a hint of Moff & Tarkin trademark production along with some input from his friend Elias Thorsson. Along with the original Viktor Birgiss presents us with a remix of the track that has a different approach which makes the relase in our opinion, more versatile.

Talking To Myself adds to the diversity of the release and is more of the late night groover that will make us dance and forget.

Lagaffe Tales continues the tradition to release Icelandic deep house music but releases featuring artists abroad is on schedule in the next months.

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.
