Shall Ocin - Forgive Me (Edu Imbernon remix) [CULPRIT]

Some artists try to sound like others, and some artists have others sound like them. The duo, Of Norway, falls in the latter camp - over a decade of forward-thinking creations that are uniquely their own. We’re honored to have them back on Do Not Sit with their three track “Sunflower” EP.

The title track’s heavy bass is the balance to the playful horn, while the intro breakbeats clear the path for the straightforward beat midway through the song. Lovely.

Following comes “Scheffeli”, a deep and moody groover that goes and goes.

Rounding it out is “Burnt Sienna”, which takes it even deeper. Lush and opulent pieces of sound interact with the steady, bubbly bass and drums. 

These gents know how to create timeless pieces of music.

Of Norway -Sunflower [DO NOT SIT ON THE FURNITURE RECORDINGS]

Out May 1st 2014 as a free download release of John Graham aka Quivver's latest cover project featuring Angel Hart of Gwen Guthrie's 1986 R&B dance classic "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent”, the extended radio mix will be available for free download, with the full EP released on Boz Boz Records coming out mid May. "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But the Rent" is a follow up of Quivver feat. Angel Hart's "I Don't Want To Wait" hit release last summer on Toolroom Records. Quivver's cover stays true to the original groove but with a big room house sound, while his dub goes deeper with chopped up vocal hooks and bouncing bassline. Angel's vocal retains the attitude of the original but with her own clean crisp delivery.

ILL Harmonics Vol.1

On this latest release, Moonstarr embarked on a series of late-night studio missions to explore the deep, moody regions of sound. Chopped breaks and dirty jazz loops are eschewed for synthesizers and drum machines to program the exploration into dark emotion and dissonance. Built upon the foundation created by steadfast pioneers like Mike Banks, Larry Heard, Shawn Rudiman, Purpose Maker and Drexcyia, and inspired by a conversation between Abacus and Marc Mac years earlier in which they discussed the need for vocals to permeate more techno music. Moonstarr continues the tradition and searches for the elusive 'C-Minus Particles' that disperse as quickly as they are created. On 'Monopoly', guest vocalist Tash sounds out a determined call for working-class justice overtop soaring synth lines, warm bass pulses and insistent rhythms. ILL Harmonics is part one in a series that will continue to travel the soundways in a complementary style to this release.

Feedback:

Shuya Okino (Kyoto Jazz Massive) “Monopoly is amazing... strong electronic soul music!”
Daedelus “The music is wonderful. I think it's the bee's knees!”
Marc Mac (4-Hero) “Dope”
Chris Vogado (ZeroDB)    “Awe inspiring”
Jwan Allen (Technoir Audio) “Devastating combo of NJ house vocal stylings with Canadian/Detroit tech-funk electronics”

Moonstarr - C-Minus Particles

Garden Party

Wood & Neon

Thunderous steps echoed through the streets, creating a sinister cacophony of sounds that reverberated of the city walls. Lines of armoured men marched in unison, there army stretching far across the hills and beyond the distance. Their destination was of no importance, it was the journey that would mattered, and the challenges they'd have to contend with along the way.

After releasing several EPs under the moniker Fabian Kash, Swede producer Leo af Ekenstam makes his debut under his own name for Madrid-based imprint Play Pal Music, which is set for release on 13th November. Alongside Ekenstam's two original tracks that marry pulsing rhythms, psychedelic synth lines and sinister melodies, the label have enlisted the skills of several artists to put their own spin on both tracks, including Eliezer, Cornelius Doctor, Local Suicide alongside Time to Sleep and Motel77.
