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.

Full premiere on Seek Sick Sound --> http://www.seeksicksound.com/premiere-debris-disk-issu-du-premier-ep-de-glaskin-pour-hotflush-recordings/

Next up on Hotflush is the debut EP by Glaskin, aka brothers Jonathan and Ferdinand Bockelmann. Hailing from Munich, their origins can be traced to the same fertile scene that gave rise to Skee Mask, the Zenker Brothers and recent Hotflush acquisition, PYUR. They first appeared with a pivotal track on Scuba’s acclaimed Fabric 90 mix last year, and the Hotflush label boss revives his Abucs alias to chime in here with a powerful 135 bpm, broken-beat remix that recalls his Triangulation-era output.

The EP builds a fierce line of tension across 4 tracks, exploring new takes on percussive techno with a dub palette. ‘Groundwork’ heads straight to the main room whilst ‘Structure’ flaunts a dizzying groove. 

Vast concrete spaces are navigated by sparse, hard-hitting drums on title track ‘Debris Disk’. For the remix, Scuba delves deeper into the dub aesthetic, restructuring the sounds to create his own narrative.

Release date: May 26th 2017

01. Groundwork
