After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2007, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

Next up on the Fast Forward Audio Series, we present: Elise Massoni

  Based in Paris, Elise Massoni is, first and foremost, a DJ and producer with a distinct style and flawless skills. Her fast-paced and strong selection of contemporary techno, drawing inspiration from the past while embracing the future, has propelled her to prominence as a rising star in the French techno scene.

Her approach to interpretation has always been grounded in the belief that 'feelings come first'

  About the mix:
 "Feeling a bit drained by winter and under the weather, I wanted to create something comforting, like that old plaid you love to wrap yourself in.
As a teenager, I used to listen to mixes in bed, dreaming of being in clubs while drifting off to sleep, caught in the loop. I tried to capture that feeling here. Hope you enjoy it !"

Fast Forward Audio Series #105 - Elise Massoni

artist: @ok_leave
location: montreal, canada

about this mix: In the winter I take long walks at night. On those walks I like to listen to music, breathe in the cold air, draw smiley faces in the snow that’s collecting on cars, and let my mind wander. I think this mix is what I’d like to hear on one of those walks.

about this artist: I really love idm and always have. I think it’s because that genre’s values best match what I prioritise as a dj/human: emotion, introspection, and beauty. I like to think I try to build all my sets/mixes in the likeness of a good idm track - a puzzle that comes together piece by piece and builds you a world you never knew you needed to see. 

track list: i love to share tracks, but i prefer for people to write me if they want track ids. les connect thru da music !
