This is just so special. Absolutely superb in every way. Thank you so much. ovalharmonique.bandcamp.com/album/toffes-v-rld-ve

Welcome to the world of Toffe—a longtime friend of Oval Harmonique, residing at the southernmost tip of Sweden. While his music is stylistically rooted at the crossroads of ambient, dub, and techno, Toffe draws inspiration far beyond the studio and soundsystem. Each sound he crafts is like a hand-painted canvas, capturing the deep "vemod" of the lush Scandinavian forests—a melancholy, a reflective sorrow entwined with beauty. Like a bonfire by the lake on a quiet autumn night, Toffe's sonic landscapes offer warmth and comfort as you gaze at the stars.

The concept of "vemod" has origins in ancient Norse mythology, drawing from the word "ve," which refers to a sacred place or state. In the mythic Nordic worldview, nature itself was believed to hold such sacred spaces—places to feel, contemplate, and connect with something greater. Toffe's music invites listeners into such a space, a sanctuary of timeless emotions where nature comes alive, offering both solace and reflection.
On remix duties, Six Fingered People, Grey Form, and Bent Breaker present three unique, broken-beat interpretations of "Skogsdjupet," deepening the enchanted atmosphere of the original with their own distinct twists.

Two tracks, "Första stigen" and "För dina öron," are collaborations with Toffe's close friend Nosa. Their partnership brings warmth and companionship to the music, each note resonating with a shared bond. These tracks embody and reflect their friendship, reminding us that nature is not only a place of contemplation but also of connection and togetherness.
