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 2007, 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.

lyrics:

my love can see in the dark 
you're blind to open arms
with every moment I buy
your hollow bed of promise

with nothing left to say
I dig a grave with every word
with nothing left to say
I find I can't control you

hot as you want me to be
you're all I see you're all I see
hot as you want me to be
you're all I need you're all I need

not what I used to be
you're all I see you're all I see
not what I used to be
you're far from here you're far from here

Lane 8 Summer 2017 Mixtape - Part 2

Dear girls & boys and everybody in between,

before the year is over again, I’d like to wish you a healthy and happy new year! May sun shine upon you when you need the light and may it rain on you, when you need the water. 
I am happy to choose the first option for now, leaving foggy Berlin for a little vitamin D refill. But before leaving to South America for our Acid Case tour, I uploaded one of my favourite sets of the past year:  

„KC Grad“, Belgrade, September 23rd 2017

Just a few words about it:
I remember that I listened to music of Nicola (Cruz) on the plane and that I missed to take this amazing picture of Danube river when we flew over it, before landing at Nicola (Tesla) airport, where I had only been once (twice to be correct) before and after I played a short set not before, but after a 
Nicola(s Jaar) concert in 2012.
So this was only my second trip to Belgrade and because neither I want to bore you, nor have I intentions to write a city guide, I will skip the part where we took a very nice walk through the city, and jump right to the last half hour before my gig when I discovered this amazing Serbian synth pop band „Beograd“. No question, I HAD to play one of their songs! Choosing one was not quite easy, but as always when you happen to go with the flow, you don’t need to make decisions, simply because the moment makes them for you...I ended up playing a song called "Opasne Igre“ whatever that means….haha, now that I am writing this, I had to look it up and what can I say? I do see a slight dissent in the context here. I would say, it’s rather a "dangerous game" if you’re not going with the flow, but obviously the song’s topic is somewhat different, so let’s leave it like that for the moment and continue the journey. My personal flow-master led me to Georgia later that night. Stay tuned and you’ll hear - for the first time online - one of my favourite edits of the past 433 days: Ana Malazonia & Fiqria Daiauris’ „Magnolia“ with Andhim’s "Holger Der Polka“. This one is in fact not even an edit, it’s just two songs mixed together, with the slight difference of 28 bars, meaning that one of them starts 28 bars later then the other one. I once heard someone say: "Simple but oh how beautiful“. Yes that's true!
Of course I also had to play a track of my friend Satori, whose father makes the best Sarma (famous Serbian dish) I ever tried. It's prepared with cabbage that has to be pickled for almost half a year, to get the right taste. Yummy…but let's continue with music:
I played Djordje's remix of my track „Jorge“, which - amongst three other gems - will be released very soon on our label Ouïe. 
Although you can hear a couple other new (at least back in September they were new) tracks, the general vibe of the set rather reminds me of this: 
"Some of my favourite tracks and edits from here, there and then, stirred with a little bit of - don’t forget we’re in Belgrade! - Techno, slowly cooked on (DJ) Hell’s car fire, served with deep-fried shaman punk and sprinkled with a streak of humour.“ Drink menu suggests: Gem&Bolt
Bon appetit!


But don’t forget to eat and drink with appreciation, so one, two, three, four more things:

One: Thanks to Oguz and Dejan for their invitation and of course to everybody who has been there floating and dancing through this very special night with Sertac aka "As Smooth As" and my humble self.

Two: In case you like this set you should thank Ilker Çatak by watching his films and future films.
You may think: „ Why should I thank someone I don’t even know?“ 
This is why: If Ilker hadn’t encouraged me to put this set online, you would not be able to listen to it now. Very simple 😏.

Three: To whom it may concern: Happy Birthday!

Four: To whom it may concern and to all others, but especially to you
Take care and be kind


Yours Acid Pauli

Tracklist:
01. Monolink - Father Ocean (Ben Böhmer Remix)

Release Info: 
An electronic music singer-songwriter? For many, those words do not fit together. For Monolink, they do. The multi-instrumentalist, singer, producer and performer from Berlin mixes the two genres into a hypnotic hybrid. House rhythms and electronic synth sounds meet organic basslines, Monolink's haunting voice and empathetic songwriting.

"Father Ocean" is another great track from his debut album "AMNIOTIC" which was released in April.

After remixes by Patrice Bäumel ("Sirens") and Tale of Us ("Swallow"), Ben Böhmer takes over and delivers a quality remix. Ben is one of dance music’s brightest stars, 25 year old Berlin producer and live act has had a monumental year. Following releases on Anjunadeep and his own Ton Töpferei label, he's been named as one of Billboard Magazine’s `Ones To Watch`.

After a successful festival summer (Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, Fusion and many more), Monolink started his tour -  for the first time with three-headed band on the stage - mid November. All dates of that tour are completely sold out already.

Building on his memorable 2017 EP ‘Your Love Is An Echo’, which saw support from BBC Radio 1’s Phil Taggart, as well as Moon Boots, Lane 8, and Martin Roth, ‘City Lights / Programmer’ sees Aiiso conjure cinematic soundscapes with booming basslines and emphatic drum-lines.

Lyrics:

I’d walk through fire
To be closer to you
I will never be whole
Till I’ve carved it in stone
Your heart I hold
Away from trouble
That old heartache brings
Oh none of it matters
It’s all gonna scatter
And you're all I need

The feeling I’m feeling 
I know it’s a reason
I want it the rest of our lives
The feeling I’m feeling 
I know it’s a reason
I want it the rest of our lives

We’re the brightest light
Stars will gather round
Just to be with you
Love’s the loudest sound

All the world’s just noise
We will drown it out
When you’re holding me
Love will scream out loud

Don’t hold to reason
When the feeling’s this strong
Every piece of me shatters
Searching for matter
All the webs are gone

The feeling I’m feeling 
I know it’s a reason
I want it the rest of our lives
The feeling I’m feeling 
I know it’s a reason
I want it the rest of our lives

We’re the brightest light
Stars will gather round
Just to be with you
Love’s the loudest sound

All the world’s just noise
We will drown it out
When you’re holding me
Love will scream out loud
