Walking in the Rain

Axel Boman broke through in 2010 with his Holy Love EP, released on DJ Koze's Pampa Records. The track Purple Drank became an instant classic in underground house music circles – since then, Boman has toured extensively while releasing original productions and remixes on labels like DFA, Hypercolour, Kompakt, Permanent Vacation and Ovum, as well as on Studio Barnhus, the label he runs together with Kornél Kovács and Petter Nordkvist.

Family Vacation, Boman's debut album, arrives on Studio Barnhus in November 2013.

“I decided to go through the vast collection of ideas and sketches I had on my computer, as a final project before I set that machine on fire and let it all go up in flames. Kind of like what Lee "Scratch" Perry did with The Black Ark in Kingston in the 70's. A friend says the album sounds like “weird Jamaican space disco" so maybe it's a fitting reference”, says Boman himself.

Axel Boman's music has also been described as "raw and playful house music drenched in oceans of soul". He graduated with a master's degree from Valand School of Fine Arts in 2010 and currently lives in the calm and peaceful Stockholm suburb Gröndal.

Conclave
“All That I Need (Photay Remixes)”
CAT#: LIR-005 
Release Date: November 29, 2021

Conclave’s self-titled debut has been hailed as one of 2021’s best, described as “magnificent” by Resident Advisor, “a vibrant house album that beautifully celebrates rhythms, collaboration and musical history.” The brainchild of New York City-based vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cesar Toribio, it is that rarity in dance music: a conceptual project that never lets ideation (specifically, a celebration of the Afro-Latin clave rhythm as a transcendent musical key) impede its primary motive of putting bodies in motion.

Now with Conclave – The Remixes EP, four of Conclave’s finest tracks are imaginatively re-invented across five remixes by Photay, musclecars, Jenifa Mayanja and Mike Simonetti. The resulting sounds represent an extended play in the truest sense: a continuation of the spirit of Toribio’s explorations that adventurously takes the original compositions into welcome and unexpected territory.

Photay’s “All That I Need (Remix)” brilliantly sets the tone. Anchored by an irresistibly syncopated percussive line, it accumulates perfectly placed rhythmic layers and accents, then drops in Cesar and sister Sharin Toribio’s sparse vocals amidst touches of haunting modulating organ and Bernie Worrell-esque synth squeals, all while largely dispensing with traditional basslines. It’s an intoxicatingly moody (re-)arrangement, reflective of Photay’s uncanny ability to generate momentum and evoke stillness at once. And it’s reprised in a more stripped down iteration for his lovely Photay Lullaby Remix, which dials back the percussion and plays up a simple thumb piano melody from the song’s beautifully bridge for maximum emotional resonance.

Together these re-imaginations accomplish what every remix project ideally aspires to: present the songs in exciting new contexts while reaffirming one’s appreciation for the original material. Listen, relax, and stay a while longer.

we think the next best thing to doing a DJ Kicks is having your track featured on it! 
Very happy to be on DJ Kicks #50!

In this case DJ Koze even made a special remix of our LP tune "Hyuwee" and it will be also included on the 2LP.

First new music from me in a while! but the first of quite a lot of new stuff dropping in the next couple of months. 

This remix of my cousin, Gwilym Gold has been around for a minute now, but we decided it was time to give it a proper release. It is originally a cut from his amazing record, Tender Metal, that plays from his own app, Bronze, whereby the algorithms change the structure, sound and musicality of the songs, whilst quite amazingly holding their pop core.. its quite a feat and a fucking great record. if you haven't checked it, I can't recommend it enough. (link below) 

anyway, I hope you feel this one, and snap up the vinyl, because that is the only medium of release for the minute. (350 copies only)

Gwilym also has a new album, A Paradise, that came out last week. and that is also fucking great!

NYC-via-London singer and producer Baba Ali builds a low-tempo house cut around an old school groove that harks back to Prince. Recently tipped by Gold Panda as his one to watch in 2017, Baba is a serious talent to keep an eye on.
