"Jazzburger (Tactus Music Edit)"

What initially began as a weekend break had snowballed into a three month extended stay and a whole new world of unforgettable experiences and close friendships. She couldn't put her finger on what exactly drew her to this place, made her not want to leave and return to her old boring life, it was more a feeling than something you could put into words. It felt like home here, it was as simple as that. 

Following a full long player on his own bORDEL imprint last year, Sebastien Chenut returns under his NEWEM guide for a brand new track featuring the vocal stylings of Prudence. The French producer, who also makes up one half of Scratch Massive alongside fellow bORDEL boss Maud Geffray, fashions an indie dance cut that's packed with emotion and cosmic touches, before passing the mantle to a roster of his contemporaries who put their own spin on the original. There's two reworks from the partnership of DJ Heidi Lawden and producer Hein Hoven under the moniker Heidi Höven, a trippy, crunchy dub from Dave Aju, a celestial remix from Blaacon, rounded off with a retro take from Glasgow’s Soft Riot.

A beautiful thing about growing up in a smaller town, is that you eventually will bump into the few like minded people who live there. And when you do, you hold on.
Since school our click has slowly intertwined through different small underground gatherings. And now 20 years later we're still in the same scene making magic together.
Proud to introduce you to some of them here at Bøx Bøx first Various Artist Compilation.

$UN€ULT - Behind this alias we have Klas Isaksson, the devoted club arranger and techno producer, and his best friend DJ and producer Lex Ludlow. Together they explore music through long hours of deep talk, that result in moody deep electronic music. From the studio of Klas, they captured this 10 minutes long modular live jam, where they let the 909 stand firm with the 606 on top, and all softly combined with the amplitude of the jupiter 6, into this groovy sweet piece.

Benmir - Producer, live performer, DJ, and engineer at Softube. He has gained local recognition for curating various electronic events and live sets across the plains of Östergötland for the past decade. After years of waiting for his first release, we have finally seized this rare bird. 'Gungfly' is a track that draws inspiration from the areas of miry land, which occurs next to murky lakes in the northern parts of Sweden. This natural phenomenon is commonly used as a metaphor for a difficult situation, but in this track Benmir offers a broader perspective. With a silky smooth vesture and a heavy dubby groove Gungfly captures a beautiful soundscape.

Inter Gritty - The Random Island dad, that for 10 years has been releasing tasteful curated vinyls. He's been spreading love with his different alias at various clubs around europe, and been a central part of the electronic dance scene in Norrköping. His Lost and Found track has a driven electro builder with smooth moving pads and a pounding beat.

Zip n Rar - The duo that includes Joakim "Beebop" Nybom and Kim Nilson, who long ago started their limitless friendship in the band Slagsmålskubben. They have been making music and touring together, sharing homes and clothes and now finally releasing their love baby Zip n Rar. A project that's been lurking under the surface for 10 years. As pioneers of the electronic dance scene in Norrköping they had a great impact on the number of forthcoming talented musicians from our home town. Their track, 2 guns 1 cop is a dramatic meeting of a solid groove and their signature sounds, all merged in an interesting build up with frolic drops.

Lex Ludlow - When Lex found this crew, she was a tailor/designer, and through an art collective where they did parties and fashion shows together, she fell in love with the electronic dance scene. During the years, she did everything around music except producing. But when the lookdown slowed Lex down, she finally downloaded Ableton, and since that day, she's been stuck in the studio, releasing music and DJing frequently. Her track, My Love is a ruff and groovy tune with dull acid basslines fused with moving arpeggiated synth lines.

Osch - Producer, live performer and visual art creator. This man has been playing amazing live sets since the 00s. He has a way of bending electronic music into the dark unknown and
at the same time, letting a warm pad, or a melody embrace you with its glow. After his last gig at our local members club Evigheten, we were swept away by this unforgiven raw force, and we kindly asked if we could pick it out from the live set straight into this Family Portrait VA.

Enjoy these solid bricks from the ground of Norrköping, Sweden. Peace n Love,
Bøx Bøx

PREMIERE : $UN€ULT - Chunky Cherry Jam

Black Spuma - Decathlon

As electronic music reaches ever higher BPM, 6tizen takes another path: largo and refined.

Introducing Burden of choices, where a stompy bass/rhythm meets deranged synths much like Cliff Martinez’s The Knick OST. Plaintive portamento pads and chopped bleeps supplement the scoreboard. Indie-dance veteran Sascha Funke beefs the beat up, turning it into a proper dancefloor banger. Is it shallow or shallower? The question feels like a dumb artificially generated-one. A nasty bass layered with high saturation intertwines with a luminous 32-steps-melody. The refined breaks blend cheering-acid-lines with melancholic pads, forming harmony sparkles. Sam Goku pitches the track tempo up and uses complex rhythm patterns on which divine arpeggios dance languorously.

Four various cuts take the shape of an invitation to the voyage just like the soothing cover.

PREMIERE : 6tizen - Burden Of Choices

Darone Sassounian is the founder of a record label called Rocky Hill – it has become an outlet for his own music which is rooted in the foundations of Funk, Soul and Jazz. His ethos is based in trying to recreate the emotions and sounds of experiences during these times through new mechanisms – playing with the notion of House music and Broken Beat whilst staying true to the origins of the sound.

Based in Los Angeles he is a keen digger and in 2021, Darone released the celebrated compilation, “Silk Road: Journey of the Armenian Diaspora: 1971 – 1982” on Terrestrial Funk.

His own music is versatile and expressive – not overly tuned but meticulously crafted at the same time.

This mixtape acts similarly – featuring a collection of dancefloor focussed material which is driven and direct yet retains the raw, DIY aesthetic of those early moments in Funk.

6tizen - Damnatio Memoriae (bonus Track)

Cat-No: cns122c

Title: Love
https://connaisseur.fanlink.to/cns122c

"Love" is the third single extract of Of Norway's upcoming mini-album "Smeigedag".

"Smeigedag" immerses listeners in the bittersweet essence of the last days of summer, where the melancholy of the season intertwines with a sense of impending darkness known to all Scandinavians. Featuring six carefully crafted tracks, the mini-album beautifully encapsulates the range of emotions experienced during this transitional period, making it the perfect companion for the final open-air events of the season.

"Smeigedag" serves as a poignant reminder that every ending brings new beginnings, capturing the essence of both farewell and anticipation. The album's title, a word derived from Norwegian folklore, reflects this sentiment perfectly, as it represents a day of intimacy and closeness before the darkness takes over. Of Norway channels these emotions into their music, delivering an introspective journey that resonates with the listener on a profound level.
