Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

On March 3rd, Tiga asks that you finally return the favor by making him fall in love with the music with Make Me Fall In Love, the second single off his forthcoming full-length, No Fantasy Required which Annie Mac has premiered as a Hottest Record In The World. Featuring vocals by Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears and the production acumen of Martin Buttrich, the track dials the vibe machine to the deepest, sexiest, slinkiest Lover’s Esperanto, a universal plea to understand universality in all its forms, be they melodic, spiritual, or simply the lowdown dirty lust between people without public lives, private bathrooms, and the sort of iTunes playlists that clear you seven figures a year.

The single also features a “Tiga vs. Audion” pop version of the track, which sees the two frequent collaborators - and original co-writers of the song - fun-tune the proceedings in an open and honest attempt to conquer the radio charts, which Tiga is convinced still exist.

“This is my attempt to speak the language of the people, to read something more into their white-bread tastes and European-bread politics,” says Tiga from Downtown Planet Earth. “If you simply listen hard enough, you can hear whatever you want, and that’s good enough for me.”

There’s always been a fertile creative tension at the heart of Tiga’s music: on the one hand he’s the underground techno don, on the other, there’s a pop sensibility that enables him to write great songs. It’s this duality that makes him one of electronic music’s most engaging characters. He’s about as far from your faceless techno DJ as it’s possible to get.

In his illustrious career, he’s remixed LCD Soundsystem, Depeche Mode, Coldcut, The XX, Fever Ray and Moby, among many others. He has used his Turbo label to break new acts like Duke Dumont (first release), Chromeo, Gesaffelstein and Boyz Noize. In addition, he has frequently collaborated with luminaries such as James Murphy, Pusha Tand, on No Fantasy Required, Hudson Mohawke, Paranoid London and Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters. Now, working with key producer Matthew Dear, and Finnish wizard Jori Hulkkonen (who also performs with him live), 

No Fantasy Required (from which Make Me Me Fall In Love is taken) is a collection of inspired songs that just happen to be delivered via visceral dance music. Tiga has made a record on which he says he feels “more honest, open and playful.” It’s an album with songs and real character, one also packed with instant bangers.  No fantasy is required both because this is an honest, open, playful record and also because it provides all the fantasy you could need.

Mr. Lif - "Don't Look Down" (new album)
https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/dont-look-down/id1082913881?app=itunes

Produced by Pas Doo | Cuts by Mr. Sonny James  | Art by Dan Lish

Brought my portable lab over to Del's crib to capture this madness. Wore my engineering cap & wielded my poetic license simultaneously to harness the chemistry of what has now become a long friendship between Del & I. Our goal was to bring you the uncompromised raw.  - Mr. Lif 

Lif Verse One 

Rhyme flurry 
Just enough to form snow flurry 
Storm wording 
The verse got clouds swirling 

Ground surging 
My army of troops 
You look minute 
While yall drop bombs 
We drop loops 

With the verbalized combat 
Uppercut 
Devastate em 
Yo Del, 
I can't resuscitate em 

DEL Verse 1.2 

But remember we still have mouth to mouth 
Some lost their brain 
Fetch and get it now 
Connected through time, we're here to master matter 
Pigs use their party to try to capture data 
Cataclysmic 
wisdom is wizardry with lyrics 
Defeat the fictional 
It's minimal 
A figment 
Of imagination 
We see their status through the eyes of a raven 
I'm the master blaster 
My membership the switch 
They're rudely dismissed by my crew of terrorists 

Lif Verse 1.3 

There are just two options for rockin' 
Y'all stop talking 
2 is Lif hop out of coffin 
Coughing 
We flee the scene 
With leafy green 
My hands will go intangible 
we can't be seen 
My mummy man plan span Egypt 
I'm part Egret 
With no regrets 
Skies are my secrets 
It's an eclipse we kept in crypts 
For when we become Charybdis to sink ships 

Chorus Cuts by Mr. Sonny James 

You're hearing this and now you feel the sound 
Love the sound 
Spread it make it world renown 
(x2) 


DEL Verse Two 

Del- I think risk is just part of the deal 
Whenever I spark the real 
Particles build 
Field Goal 
Fuck my age 
I don't feel old 
I don't feel their flow 

Lif - They don't have the will to grow 

Del - I just chill and roll with the fist-a-cuffs 
Lifting up the bar that they're all taking pictures of 
Define and specialize in rhymes that are spit 
Gauck at it like a shiny whip you're dying to get 
Private estate flows of mine hard to debate 
Go far as to blame 
But charge it to the game 

LIF Verse 2.2 

Your card denied 
Pardon as we part the sky 

The great beyond... 
Cruise it like the autobahn 

Ichiban 
The shit that Del and Lif be on 

You flipped it wrong...? 
It's tragic 
You could just be bombed 

Del - Pass the coordinates 

Lif - Teleport 

Del- Slaughter shit 

Lif - Physically orbited 

Lif & Del - Damage exorbitant! 

Lif - We morphing men into pygmies 
We crush cities 
Then rebuild em 

Del - Through eyes of the children 

Lif - Welcome to this plane named imagination 
Where everything you see is for the first time 

Del - Fascination 

Lif - True amazement 
The new engagement 
surreal is 
the realest 
We're peeling your flesh back to feel this 

We're designed with an iron mind 
You see the raw 
Then leave in awe 
Part men part meteor 

Chorus 

You're hearing this and now you feel the sound 
Love the sound 
Spread it make it world renown 
(x2)
