In great music just like in language in order to express a feeling you have to capture the thought, the experience, the memory, the feeling inside the mind and be able to understand it but in language we often use ready made templates reaching for the nearest possible word and then adjusting our thoughts accordingly. In art or in any accurate or faithful self expression sometimes we have to push a little further than that… beyond the linguistic templates. Sometimes you have to get inside the cracks that exist between the words or at least between the feelings that already have names  and you have to kindly blindly and bravely feel your way around and in faithful self expression you go and light up the dark space. That´s a very powerful thing in a world  in which we not always have the tools or the context to express the foremost who we are. Music has the unparalleled ability to take all of ones pain, put into a single frame and invite us to relive it with all of the joy of the experience and non of the suffering. Like a wind turbine converts the wind´s kinetic energy into electrical power through art we have the ability to convert the emotional experience, the human experience and convert into sole beauty long after the pain has passed. HDSN is back with his fifteenth studio record full of extra strong pain relievers crafted of a variety of binaural sounds to sooth your body, mind and soul. This record is maybe fashioned for everywhere but the dance floor but that still has the power to make you move and, above all, the magic to make you feel much longer.

Official release note:

"Though without the anxious feeling of forever loneliness I might have never approached her."

KVK300 is the third chapter of the Swedish label Karlovak and consists of Crab At The Green Hunter (A1) and I Want You To See (B1) with original production by label string pullers Mr. Tophat & Art Alfie.

RA Review:

"Mr Tophat & Art Alfie seem uninterested in taking things slowly. Across both their Karlovak and Junk Yard Connections imprints, the Swedish duo has put out four EPs in as many months in 2013, with releases as far ahead as KVK700 already in the pipeline. Despite a slight dip in form on KVK200, their third outing sees the pair back to full-fitness.

At first glance, "Kavolrak" revisits the techier terrain of "Marlboro Lights" (KVK100), albeit it with a grainier inflection. Techno, however, soon turns to house, as an unexpected outburst of summery piano yanks it in the opposite direction. "I Want To See (That You're in Love With Me)" is more upfront, marrying a pumping disco groove with rough kicks and captivating female cries. There's little else to say, other than this, and the accompanying A-side, should go down a treat with DJs and on dance floors."

RA Top 2013 tracks poll;

"It's easy to see why Ricardo Villalobos was so drawn to "I Want You To See (That You're In Love With Me)." Like the Chilean artist, Mr Tophat & Art Alfie's productions mess with dynamics. Look at the track's waveform and you'll notice that its intensity builds slowly. Each drop is bigger than the last. What initially feels like an understated, funk-tinged house track morphs into something enormous. "

MR. TOPHAT

Born in Sweden in 1990, Rudolf Nordström—better known as Mr. Tophat—has long been a defining force in Stockholm’s electronic music underground. A producer, DJ, and sonic architect, his deep passion for dance music has driven him to create hypnotic, genre-blurring productions that transcend traditional club sounds.

With a history of curating unique musical experiences, Mr. Tophat co-founded the revered Karlovak label with Art Alfie in 2011, a platform for house music built for nights that defy endings. He also helms Junk Yard Connections, established in 2008, a label known for its strictly limited, no repress approach—making each release a sought-after collector’s item.

His solo work has garnered critical acclaim, with both of his solo albums receiving Grammy nominations, a testament to his ability to push the boundaries of electronic music while maintaining a deeply personal and innovative sound. Following the release of "This Is Pop" (PIAS x Twilight Enterprise), he continues to explore new sonic territories, with upcoming music on Karlovak and a highly anticipated new album with Axel Boman, blending dancefloor euphoria with avant-garde textures.

His collaborations span both the mainstream and the underground, having worked with Robyn, Kleerup, XOV, Lune, and Jelly Crystal, among others. He has been spotlighted by major global media outlets, including MTV, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and Pitchfork, further cementing his status as a forward-thinking artist with a broad cultural impact.

On stage, Mr. Tophat continues to appear at some of the world’s most intriguing venues and festivals—sometimes in grandiose settings, other times in shadowy, elusive late-night sanctuaries. Whether behind the decks or orchestrating immersive live performances, he remains an unpredictable and compelling force in electronic music.
