Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen finally release their unique Nordic electronic sounds in album size.

'Full of melancholy-frosted electronics and emotive swells of classical piano, the new single from Nordic duo Ólafur Arnalds﻿ and Janus Rasmussen is a delicate, icy slowburn' – NME

After dropping several tracks and performing at select festivals throughout the years, Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen dedicated the year 2014 to explore the area in-between Ólafur’s more acoustic, piano-based solo work and Janus’s synth-heavy electro pop, with their collaborative electronic project Kiasmos.

By focusing solely on their self-titled debut album, Ólafur and Janus have been able to combine and further develop their unique sound aesthetics to complete an album driven by their mutual love for electronic music. Made in Ólafur’s newly build studio in Reykjavík, Iceland, a majority of the album was recorded using acoustic instruments next to a variety of synthesisers, drum machines and tape delays. It features a live drummer, string quartet and Ólafur performing on the grand piano, producing an ambient, textured sound, which makes it a perfect home listen and equally danceable record. If you listen closely, you can spot them record the thumb piano, finger snapping and even the sound of the metal grinder of a lighter slowly to replace the usual electronic hi-hat sounds, giving the album a far more intimate and unique atmosphere.

“We decided to start almost completely over with this record, so most of the material is written this year with the idea of making a record that can stand as one piece rather than a collection of songs. I am very excited to get a proper record out exploring a different territory than I am used to. I touch a lot on electronic genres in my own music but never have the opportunity to go full out electronic like we do here.” – Ólafur Arnalds

“The Kiasmos project has been around since 2009, but because of all our other projects we never really got the time to sit down and write all the tracks we always wanted to. So when we early this year finally found the time to sit down and make a full length album there was so much we wanted to try out. The result surprised us a bit, it's deeper and more emotional than we imagined it to be, but that's the beauty of being able to make an album.” – Janus Rasmussen

Kiasmos – s/t will be released on Double-Vinyl, CD and Download via Erased Tapes on October 27th, 2014.

SOSO 10 by Oliver Schories incl. remixes by 

Thomas Schumacher, Hanne & Lore, Format:B & Midas 104 

„The Soulwalker“ was the first EP of Oliver Schories on his new label SOSO. Now the boss is back after eight really massive releases from other artists. With ''Noise Ball'' Schories creates again a special piece of music. The EP is rather an album, with originals and remixes. Top quality, a lot of musical freedom and deepness – these sounds are made for a long night on the dancefloor with the heart on the right place. Killer-Grooves meet up with strong and warm melodies, grumbling baselines and relentless claps coming together. 

With Midas 104 (Katermukke), Hanne & Lore (Monaberry), Thomas Schumacher ( Get Physical) and Format:B (Formatik) we have four different handwritings full of power and unique grooves. ''Noise Ball'' brings you through the winter days and guides you direct to the next spring, when Oliver Schories will release his new album.

'Celestian Asterism' is the new record from HearThug on Faceless, and Maas has given it a tasty reworking. The tense track builds with a rich, hypnotic klaxon screaming through the middle, giving way to some contemplative 'handsintheair' trance keys before strapping back towards the rolling industrial trip.

2015 will see German techno mainstay Stephan Bodzin ready to unleash his next full-length musical vision on the world. Entitled “Powers of Ten”, the 10-track album will land in June 2015 on his own Herzblut Recordings and provides another great insight into the melodically rich muscle mind of this modern great.
Says Stephan Bodzin of the LP: “Powers of Ten has been with me all my life and is named after a book that has been my background hiss, its confusing truth is my only real faith and its infinity shows me its finiteness. The album is about harmonies, melodies, rhythms. It is an homage to Bob Moog, full of techno beats and sounds and space and party and ecstasy and dancing and listening, and crying and feeling. It is a journey, a philosophy of life, a view of the world, a vague perception. It is my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my passion, my enemy, my greatest fulfillment, my fear, my deepest peace, my power, all my love.”
As such, this album is hugely personal and is filled with cerebral messages and well thought out concepts. All this shines through and makes it an all the more engaging listen from start to finish. Kicking off with the spine tingling chords and louche beats of ‘Singularity’ cuts like ‘Lila’ then continue to confirm that Stephan Bodzin has a classical understanding of melody that is way beyond your average.
‘Blue Giant’, ‘Wir’ and ‘Ix’ all manage to be uplifting and thoughtful at the same time as driven and groovy, whilst ‘Birth’ comes on with a hymnal high note, long tailed pads and subtly shifting beats. The ghostly grooves of ‘Zulu’ mark a majestic mid point to the album, which then continues to seduce with spiritual synths and more beautiful melodies on cuts like ‘Odyssee’ as well as the album’s standout title track.
Unfolding coherently and in soothing fashion, this album once again proves that few producers in the modern world have a knack for melody and an ear for sonic ingenuity quite like Stephan Bodzin.


Singularity

Ferrer's remix of 'One Of Us' is an explosive synth affair that features intergalactic riffs that come in and out of focus. There are some heavy basslines and big drops but Forrest's delicate vocals are kept intact and give an element of melancholy to the mid-section. Great remix from a great producer.

Premiere: Sabb 'One Of Us' feat. Forrest (Dennis Ferrer Remix)

Time Has Changed is a tech-house label that operates out of France. Their raison d'etre is house music on a grandiose and dancefloor-inclined scale, and their latest release is a case in point from that regard. Always ones to champion new talent, it arrives on our desks thanks to the inimitable works of the Cosmic Cowboys, an Italian pair who’ve previously released on Time Has Changed and also boast credits for the likes of Superfiction and Bedrock. 

It all gets under way courtesy of title track, ‘’Perseus’’. As dramatic a track as you’re likely to stumble over this side of 2015, it’s full of elongated plays and raw, dramatic sweeping synths of the sort that you can’t help but be bowled over by. If you’re out this weekend to leave your audience in raptures, then this one should do very nicely indeed. In a just world, it’ll have dancefloors trembling in Europe and beyond this summer. 

Betoko’s remix isn’t bad either. The sometime Diynamic man has made a career out of such sprightly tech-house gems, and he reminds us of his talents thanks to a remix that loses much of the original’s full-on vibes but cleverly replaces them with a more supple and subtle re-working.

We can boil this Debut down to a single sentence, really: Demac's done good again. Slivers of sax winch back 'n forth over a fat, buzzy bassline rising steeply in intensity; it does damage. The fact "Axel Foley" sits on a forthcoming Cocoon compilation, and so is going be reverberating around a lot of eardrums this summer, is a big bonus. If you don't feel a tingle of glee picturing Papa Sven hoofing this out, then frankly you just might have something wrong with you.

Only five releases away from the 100th, Rodriguez Jr. delivers on the 095 with a generous 4-track, digital only edition titled "Muppet Anthem".

The self-titled number makes up the first track on the EP with a pleasant array of upbeat house-party elements and groovy vocals making this piece of work totally dance-floor worthy in the heat of the summer.

Seething down to the second track, "Ocean Drive" takes it down a notch by starting the track with exotic and tropical elements as it progresses into a high peak of faster beats and steady keyboard strikes. Its a number that will leave your feet grounded as your swaying shoulders and bobbing head lead the dance.

"Satellite" comprises the third number an emotional hymn bursting with soulful vocals and periodic tambourine jingles and jangles. Enjoy this eye closer preferably with your head back and arms reaching towards the sky.

Closing out the set is "Palo Alto", a high tempo number with various calculated beats one setting off the next. Crying vocals wrapped in multi-faceted elements will leave even your goosebumps dancing.

The French producer/DJ has a stupendous track record with mobilee and its sister label, Leena. In 2011 he released his very first album titled "Bittersweet" on the mobilee imprint. The summer of 2012 has seen weekly gigs throughout Europes favorite beach bars and waterfront clubs with Rodriguez Jr.
