Third Attempt

Chill Groove

The Oslo based artist Third Attempt is building his fan base and his reputation for putting out high quality and extremely well produced beats. With two singles from this album already out of the gate the mothership has landed in shape of ‘Beats From The Quarantine’. This talented artist takes us on a trip-hop journey of eleven tracks of low slung beats and reframed disco blends. All designed with the forward thinking hip-hop head in mind.

Opener 'Addicted' gets the ball rolling in a soothing fashion with some slap-heavy bounce that'll get your hips swaying and feet shuffling. The sample-heavy 'Front To The Back' serves up a crisp mix of hip-hop drums, fluttering melodies and nu-age-friendly vibes. The heavily dubbed jazz affair 'Make It Double', is an intricate mixture of brass-laden jamming, wistful piano chords and smoky funk bass, all resounding across a dense haze of FX and subtle textural arrangements that grow deeper as bars pass by.

  Drifting towards more ethereal and soulful heights, 'Missing Feeling' teleports you to poetic jazz dreamlands, fusing solid bass with mischievous woodblocks and otherworldly chimes.  Laid back trip-hop and vibraphonic downtempo chugger 'Please Hold', quietly rides on to greener pastures, whilst 'Rain' musters up a breezy package of sonar bloops, disco shades and dusky atmospherics.

Upping the tempo 'Images' keeps the feels pouring but tweaks the whole into a hectic acid-drenched second half.  'Mirage' is a deep mystic trip of hypnotic webs and sitar-imbued harmonics. 'Air' eases us to moody Balearic jazz territory with languid trumpets and polychromatic pads, paying tribute to José Padilla’s touch. One to drift off to is closing cut 'Cocoon' which wraps you in warm layers of piano and synth, fitting somewhere between the Aphex Twin's Drukqs-ian excursions and more Ibizan sun kissed magic.

Info:
Beatservice Records are thrilled to present the latest mesmerising single from leftfield maestro Third Attempt, who digs deep into his sonic repertoire to serve the full-bodied rolling groove of 'Nu Funk'.

Oslo's Torje Fagertun Spilde – better known as Third Attempt – is quickly making a name for himself as one of the most reliably exciting producers to emerge from Norway's rich meta-disco lineage. His last single, 'Age Of Steam', arrived bursting with bass-heavy funk flex, and we're thrilled to report that his newest effort is no less kinetically charged. As the name suggests, 'Nu Funk' is a contemporary exploration of deeply-rooted funk sensibilities. Combining warm bass with tightly constructed beats, Third Attempt dexterously merges far-reaching musical aesthetics that include trip hop, funk, soul and disco to deliver a sound that – although endowed with vintage sensibilities – feels proudly up to date.

The track begins with snappy hip hop vocal samples scratched over tight beats and a delectable bass guitar hook. The groove pauses for dubbed-out space delays to echo into the night before a singing lead guitar joins the rhythm elements to burst back into life. Forging a heads-down furrow from which there's no escape, the seductive beats maintain the course as vocal chops, flute motifs, elegant strings, and otherworldly sweeps elegantly meander across the panorama.

Just as we've come to expect from Third Attempt, this is warm, organic and utterly alluring work. Taken from a forthcoming album that's set to land in the coming months, we are beyond excited to hear what the young talent will come up with next.

Nu Funk

PREMIERE: Third Attempt - Nu Funk [Beatservice Records]

Third Attempt is back on Beatservice Records with yet more delightful audio honey, this time arriving with the gloriously soothing groove of 'Sunbeam Symphony'.
23-year-old producer Third Attempt has been in sparkling form of late. With a pair of exquisite singles having recently arrived in quick succession, his latest creation is again plucked from his hotly anticipated long-player slated to arrive in the coming months. While his previous outings have been blessed with heavy doses of floor-focused funk, 'Sunbeam Symphony' finds him in a delightfully laid-back mood with a track destined to provide the soundtrack for blissed-out sun-downs, poolside abandon, and at-home meditations.
Set over a groove that arrives like a cool summer breeze, the track evolves over soul-soothing chords, weighted bass and slick, rolling beats. Hypnotic e-piano guides us into position as the drums build the energy, the bass notes power us forward as Third Attempt's dextrous keyboard solo dazzles momentarily before subsiding for a dub-infused break. Spaced-out vocal chops and rising sweeps build tension before the sprightly drum fill sparks a return to the groove. Once again, the virtuoso solo steals the show, soaring over the irresistable groove before congas arrive to cement the intoxicating rhythm.
Showing absolutely no signs of abating his breathtaking audio output, Third Attempt once again shows production class and a formidable ability to skirt through musical genres on his indelible sonic quest.

Sunbeam Symphony

PREMIERE : Third Attempt - Sunbeam Symphony

This song has been very close to me for years.  I loved it too much to ever release it officially---all these mp3s online are poor quality rips off youtube or myspace.  Here is the fully mixed and mastered version (thanks Daddy Kev) for you to play whenever you need to hear it.

Clash DJ Mix - Nightmares On Wax

Solid Steel (20th June) Fanu is our guest in Hour 1, an electronic music artist and DJ from Finland, who has been releasing music for many years, plus remix duties that include Bill Laswell and our own Amon Tobin. In his own words:
"In addition to making/pushing/DJing broken beat music and running my label, Lightless, I've been working on loads of hip hop in the past 1.5 years, some of which will start to surface soon on Redefinition Records under my FatGyver alias. Hence, instead of going all electronic with the mix like I most often do, this time I wanted to go for the theme, "hip hop to D&B and back". Hip hop and drum and bass used to have a lot in common, after all, and their aesthetics can be very similar."

Can't Do Without You (Extended Mix)

Dreams In Common

It's been a long time since i made a house-ish track. This one has a mystical vibe to it. Starts off chill, but ends up kinda energetic. Includes various field recordings and samples from indian folk music. Also a snippet from a really old interview with Tiny Tim. My new Korg Volca Keys contributed a lot as well. Gotta love those analog sounds! 

Free download as always. Hope you like it! :)

Third Attempt is Torje Fagertun Spilde, a 22 years old artist and DJ originally from Asker, just outside of Oslo. Now established in Tromsø, Norway, he is one of the young forces in the rising new generation of electronic producers from the birthplace of the Northern Disco Groove.
Third Attempt has a distinct and uplifting flavour, firmly planted in the smoother areas of deep house. His influences range from jazz to ambient, trip hop to classic house. Third Attempt's first Beatservice single "Shoreline" accumulated numerous accolades and tens of thousands of plays on various streaming platforms. After three two-track EP's, and one four track EP, it is now time for a new album from Third Attempt! 
The album continues his mixture of funky, jazzy and deephouse grooves, but, while his EP's have been aimed mostly for the dancefloor, the album is on the smoother end of the scale.
