Kicking off 2023 with a true 'new year, new me' spirit, Fleur Amser presents his debut EP on OO Recordings. Alternative Ending consists of four tracks that portray Fleur Amser's - real name Nestori Majoinen - pathways in music. From mellow pad-driven ambiances to dark and punchy basement sounds to experimental takes on dance music and beyond, the EP is a flip book of Fleur Amser's musical ambitions and in general, tells the story of a creative soul that wanders between styles of electronic music with his own uniquely groovy step.

Fleur Amser - Alternative Ending EP

OO Recordings’ fifth release is all about firsts; the first solo EP on the label and the debut release of Fleur Amser. Expect a canvas painted with a mixture of moody and bright - fit for a dancefloor or laying on the floor.

Kicking off 2023 with a true ‘new year, new me’ spirit, Fleur Amser presents his debut EP on OO Recordings. Alternative Ending consists of four tracks that portray Fleur Amser’s - real name Nestori Majoinen - pathways in music. From mellow pad-driven ambiences to dark and punchy basement sounds to experimental takes on dance music, the EP is a flip book of Fleur Amsers musical ambitions and in general tells the story of a creative soul that wanders between styles of electronic music with his own uniquely groovy step.

The release opens with a shapeshifting first track, simply titled Intro. Combining space-y chord stabs with off-kilter drums and a movement from dark to light, Intro is more than the title suggests - it’s a self-standing track that screams ‘play me loud!’. Following that, the second track titled Deep drives of with a drum groove fit for any occasion. It takes the idea of strong chord stabs but explores it from a stripped down point-of-view and leverages a strong vocal presence, courtesy of Julius Jäppinen. The third track - Don’t - is a basement trip that plays with a natural, almost random soundscape with elements flowing effortlessly. The synth melody plays on the background like a distant ghost, whilst most of the action comes from very organic sounding percussions. Finally, the ending to the release comes from the title track of the release, Alternative Ending. The final tracks reintroduces the vocal musings that are present in the first two tracks, but gives a warm wave to the listener. Still featuring the layered melodies familiar throughout the release, and the physicality of the drums, Alternative Ending manages to shift the mood just to tell you this isn’t a goodbye, it’s a see-you-again-soon.
