Finally Norwegian fjord-disco producer Velferd's digital release has arrived. It contains the 4 varied and dancable tracks from the 12" + 2 brand new bonus tracks. Some have called it «leftfield disco», and some have called it «live-sounding fjord-disco». With heavy bass-slapping on the title track and a 8 minute live hi-hat session on 'Cobalt', it sound fresh nevermind what genre you put it in. The 12" which came out in October 2010 was limited to 300 copies worldwide and came in a beautiful sleeve designed by artist Ronja Svenning Berge. It is still available in some selected shops.

Who is Velferd?
Velferd is a 21 year old boy from Bergen, Norway called Geir Hermansen. He has spent a lot of time in his basement studio at his parents house this last year, making tracks for this release on Untz Untz Records. The basement/dungeon is stacked to the roof with synths, bass guitars, drums and old computers. It is quite a view this place. These instruments are of course all present on the release in all its glory. When Velferd is not locked down in his dungeon polishing his newest tracks, he is touring the world with The New Wine, a band in which he plays synthesizers. ThisGoesDisco! is another band that he recently recorded with, this time on the drums. So i guess you could call him a multi-instrumentalist. Velferd frequently does live and dj-sets(he has played alongside Daniel Wang, Mental Overdrive, Biosphere, Annie &amp; Bjørn Torske to name a few!). He is also a keen remixer, and has laid his filthy synthesizer licks on among other theese fine Nordic artists: Casiokids, Sondre Lerche, Kings Of Convenience, Skatebård, Uusi Fantasia, The Whitest Boy Alive, Monzano, Pow Pow, Leif &amp; The Future, Erlend Øye and Lama.

Cat No.: UNTZUNTZ003
Artist: RAYKO / THE GLUE
Title: DIE FOR YOU / A BROKEN HEART
Label: UNTZ UNTZ RECORDS
Format(s): LIMITED 12″ RED VINYL
Release Date:	20/05/2011

TRACK LISTING
A1. Rayko – Die For You
B1. The Glue – A Broken Heart

DESCRIPTION
This much hyped Rayko track gets a super cool 12″ split-release with the romantic newcomers The Glue on the flip. Believe the hype, this is a monster!
Untz Untz unleash their third release, and this time its a shiny red love disc.
First up is the spanish edit don Rayko, known from releases on labels such as Eskimo, Kojak Giant Sounds, Lumberjacks In Hell… and of course his own Rare Wiri label. He is known for crunching out 2-3 great edits every week. This edit must really have struck a chord with the Untz Untz guys leading to them begging on their knees for it the same day it appeared on his Soundcloud. On his ‘Die For You’ edit he slaps on a old school disco bassline on top of the purple smurf that we all love. Resulting in taking him straight to the club peak-time, saturday night style. This is made for a dancefloor!

On the flip we see the slow-mo-house-disco duo The Glue. Little is known about these mystic newcomers other than that they are based in Bergen, Norway and that they are very much into r’n'b and soul music. This edit came about after finding it in a box of 600 7″s from the 80s/90s that they bought for almost nothing at a flea market. On the ‘A Broken Heart’ edit they are carefully building up a cosy mood before dropping in the vocals half-way through this 9 minute heartbreaking song. And then finishing it of with a man softly cooing ‘I Love You, Don’t Ever Break My Heart’. Lets hope its not true that: A Broken Heart Can’t Mend.

The 12" has gotten thumbs up from among others:

Greg Wilson (UK) - "Nice release. Wouldn't mind a wav of the Rayko track"

Dr Dunks aka Eric Duncan (Rub N Tug/Still Going/DFA/NYC) - "Sound great!"

Sleazy Beats Recordings - "Slice of pure loveliness. Have a listen, and tell me - how can you just not love this?"

Duff Disco (UK) - "I like 'A Broken Heart' nice edit there!"

Touchsoul (UK) - "Where to start. Rayko is on fire with this release. A mix Prince should be proud of and Alexander O'Neal's early 80's soul groover sublimely done to great slow mo disco effect by The Glue. Will be getting play from me and well worth the purchase..."

Dirk (Mindless Boogie/Smile) - "Aaahh, Killer edits!"

Juno Records (UK) - "Complementing the growling arpeggios of Rayko is The Glue, whose B Side bomb is strictly for the lovers!"

Piccadilly Records (UK) - "Untz Untz come up with two monster reworks back to back, and on red vinyl too! It's a big hurrah that these peeps still believe in vinyl, so make sure you grab a copy quick."

Velferd frequently does live and dj-sets(he has played alongside Daniel Wang, Mental Overdrive, Biosphere, Annie &amp; Bjørn Torske to name a few!). He is also a keen remixer, and has laid his filthy synthesizer licks on among other theese fine Nordic artists: Casiokids, Sondre Lerche, Kings Of Convenience, Skatebård, Uusi Fantasia, The Whitest Boy Alive, Monzano, Pow Pow, Leif &amp; The Future, Erlend Øye and Lama.

Velferd - Adequate Machinery (Digital bonus track)

Njaal's 12" is landing in October with remixes from Terje Bakke (Be Chosen/
Soulfooled) and Skatebård (Kompakt/Sex Tags/Digitalo)

Cat No. :         UNTZUNTZ004 
Artist :            NJAAL 
Title :             ME AND HUGH 
Label :            UNTZ UNTZ RECORDS 
Format(s):       12″ & DIGITAL 
Release Date: 31/10/2011 

TRACK LISTING 

A   Njaal - Me And Hugh (Original mix) 
B1 Njaal - Me And Hugh (Terje Bakke remix) 
B2 Njaal - Me And Hugh (Skatebård remix) 

DESCRIPTION 

Another grandios 12" from the Untz Untz Records guys with a top notch remix package. This time its a hometown affair with all artists being from Bergen, Norway. 

So what is this then? Is it house? Is it prog? Is it (dear we say it) almost trance? Honestly we are not sure, but we know that it is balancing that magical thin red line somewhere in-between there and that it sounds powerful. 

The A-side on this 12" is one of Njaal's early productions that was sitting there untouched when Untz Untz found it. After testing it out for a long while in clubs they had to bring this masterpiece out on vinyl. Njaal, real name Njål Paulsberg, is a guy in his early 20's residing in Bergen, Norway. He is a known synthesizer fanatic that will travel to Japan for a certain synth. Njaal is a supertalented musician, dj and producer that is involved in multiple band projects in his hyper productive hometown.  

When we flip over to the B-side two remixes are being served up. 

Terje Bakke is a rapidly rising rocket on the house scene with praise and admiration being thrown at him from all corners. He is giving us a unique sounding minimal house remix with clicks and claps here and there that will turn heads on a demanding dancefloor. Terje has been releasing tracks on labels such as Soulfooled and Be Chosen of lately, and is rumored to have a release coming up on one of 2011 most exciting new labels. Terje has just relocated to Copenhagen to seek new challenges. He is truly one of Bergen's greatest exports this side of the millennia. 

To end the whole affair we have Norway's very own Mr.Italodisco. Skatebård delivers a full on attack with his remix. Connoisseurs of his extensive catalogue knows that Skatebård oscillates between emotional techno, neo-italo, electro from an alternative future and a Scando-cosmic reinterpretation of pure Detroitian house. Skatebård is a very busy dj and producer. Earlier this year he put out a handful of 12"s and just recently he released his fourth artist album. Every weekend Skatebård criss-crosses Europe on his never-ending string of gigs. If its in the dungeons of the Berghain castle or at a small island on the rural coast of Norway, his presence is in high demand. 

All in all: 3 slightly different tracks that will appeal to multiple branches of dance music. 

Some selected early feedback:

Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space/NYC) - "That Skatebard mix is my favorite of the bunch!"

Wolfram (Permanent Vacation/Diskokaine - AUS/NYC) - "Love it!"

Massimiliano Pagliara (LARJ/Balihu/Rush Hour) - "Bard, Bard, Bard: AMAZINGNESS!!! Great stuff as always"

Rayko (Rare Wiri/Eskimo/UntzUntz) -"Nice release mates!"

Hardway Bros (A Love From Outer Space) - "OOOH! Nice"

Hannulelauri (Relish/FIN) - "Your release is almost trance, but trance is good"

DJ Gio Mc-505 (Sauroid/ITA) - "Wow, it reminds me the Progressive House of early 90s, it's like a trip into the past!"

Fear of Theydon (Sunday Best/UK) - "Deeeeeep!"

diskJokke (Smalltown/NOR) - "FEIT!"

Juno Records (London/UK) - "Njaal's original sits perfectly between warm, cosmic infused house and experimental electronica as menacing keyboards take over the high end and soft, hazy reverb clouds dominate the lower. Flip over and Terje Bake strips "Me & Hugh" down to a pounding kick drum from start to finish while Njaal's ambient beds simmer below. Skatebard keeps the hypnotic style of the original while pushing the drum beats up to their crisper capabilities."

Piccadilly Records (Manchester/UK) - "Reminiscent of mid 90s pregressive house, "Me And Hugh" really packs a building, hypno-house punch, with a mega uplift after the breakdown."

TRACK LISTING

A - THE GLUE - STOMPERUD
B - RULEFINN - KOMMAFEIL

DESCRIPTION

Super secret Bergen/Stavanger/Oslo/Haugesund/Berlin based collab label GLUEUNTZ is back with another release, after the very successful Q&A 12" two years ago.
On the A-side, it's The Glue of course. The Bear and the Bunny have stayed out of the studio and focused more on coming in the fjords and glaciers of western Norway the last few years, but recently they overcame all obstacles and got together in the studio to give birth to "Stomperud". The track, just like life itself, is a very long and mysterious journey. It starts out as your everyday guitar loop based disco house track, but then things get all weird and incomprehensible – akkurat som selve livet.
On the B-side, you will find "Kommafeil", an edit by our dear friend Rulefinn. Rulefinn is arguably the biggest italo disco enthusiast in Norway, and his vast collection of rare italo records has made everyone who goes clubbing regularly in Oslo come on the dancefloor at least a couple of times during the last decade. Now he has finally started sharing a few of these gems with the general public through his spectacular edits, and this tight mid tempo italo slap bass banger is going to make you come for sure.

ARTIST: SKATEBÅRD & STILETTI-ANA
TITLE: STANDARD MODERNE 
LABEL: UNTZ UNTZ
CATALOGUE: UNTZUNTZ006
FORMAT: 12"
RELEASE DATE: 15/06/2017

TRACK LISTING

A:   Standard Moderne 13:46 
B1: Anaska 07:49
B2: Universet 06:28

DESCRIPTION 

Skatebård is back on Untz Untz Records. This time in collaborative mode with Stiletti-Ana to present: The Finsk-Norsk Body Language Society.
The short version of the story goes: Skatebård and Stiletti-Ana meet at a party they both played at hosted by Untz Untz in Berlin 2011. Stiletti-Ana was there as part of the duo Jesse. A drum machine gets a Skatebård signature on it at the end of the night. Jesse remixes Skatebård’s ‘Confirmation Bias’ track for Untz Untz in 2013. Fast forward to 2017 and here we are with the deal that was unknowingly signed in 2011 fulfilled. 
This record was recorded, mixed & dubbed live straight to a two track stereo tape recorder, during a fine January weekend in 2017 at Stiletti’s Haista II studio on the island Suomenlinna outside Helsinki. We hope you like Standard Moderne, a Moderne Standard.
Skatebård is a Norwegian producer of all things electronic. Connoisseurs know that his catalogue oscillates between emotional techno, neo-italo, electro from an alternative future and a Scando-cosmic reinterpretation of pure Detroitian house. Skatebård has released records on Bordello A Parigi and Vivod lately and has seen a steady rise of his profile the last couple of years that has taken him around the world via Australia, Japan, Brazil and back again to his hometown Bergen.
Stiletti-Ana is a legend in Helsinki's underground scene, and has probably touched in one way or another most of the interesting music coming out of Finlands underground. A drummer, producer, session musician, recording, mixing and mastering engineer, this is a man who has dedicated his life to music. You may find him behind the drums with K-X-P or behind the machines on stage in the duo Dj Candle In The Wind. Recent release from Stiletti-Ana can be found on Rat Life, Sex Tags UFO and I’m A Cliché.

Some selected feedback:

Tim Sweeney (Beats In Space/NYC) - "I really like both of these. Really nice work! I'm a big fan of Skatebård and Mungolian Jet Set, so it's great to see this release!"

Rune Lindbæk (Noid/Full Pupp/Smalltown Supersound) - "Koool!"

Terje Bakke (Strictly Chosen) - "Reindeer Salsa for me, i love you forever Skatebård"

Jonny Rock (London) - "wicked and baad"

Kalifornia Keke/Jesse (GAEA/Finland) - "Great stuff! I'll play it tonight right away!"

Testpressing (.org) - “Confirmation Bias” surfs with Detroit`s first wave. James Pennington. Digs Tim Harper`s Chicago groove. The Mungolian Jet Set turn “Reindeer Salsa” into tribal trance from a Nepalese monkey temple. Bells sound the start of a 5 AM trek to view a sunrise over the Himalayas. To the top of the world, where all is below and you let out your great yawp and leap off. On the way back down they stop for a game of beach volley ball, a four note samba, and I`m transported to the terrace at Space, 9 AM, sleepless, shirtless and eye-linered. From Sagarmatha to the White Isle. Around the world in 694 seconds."

Juno Records (London/UK) - "Norwegian producer Skatebard has been working away for over a decade on his own electro-flecked sound, with prime releases on Sex Tags Mania and his own Digitalo Enterprises imprint. This latest offering is for Untz Untz, and sees Bard Aasen Lodemel working a monster bass synth to devastating effect as he contorts it through all manner of filtering. The real joy is in the beat though, as it effortlessly bumps along with excellent snare fills and a gentle swing to make for a sturdy floor smasher. The Knights Of Jumungus opt for a much smoother trajectory on their remix, paring that bass into a streamlined punch while the rhythm becomes a rolling, tribal kind of percussion."

Title : CONFIRMATION BIAS
Label : UNTZ UNTZ RECORDS 
Format(s): 12″ 
Release Date: 06/07/2012 

TRACK LISTING 

A Skatebård - Confirmation Bias (13:41)
B Skatebård - Reindeer Salsa (The Knights Of Jumungus Extended 12" Jingle Jungle Morning mix) (11:34)

DESCRIPTION

Big techno track from Skatebard just in time for summer + a exclusive 12" mix by The Knights Of Jumungus (Mungolian Jet Set)

This time Untz Untz have got the closely associated Skatebard to deliver nothing less than a catchy techno track. Although the track consists only of a bassline, some percussion and some 909, it still works like a charm on the dance floor and you will even find yourself humming along to it. And how many techno tracks can you say that about? 'Confirmation Bias' is a marathon clocking in at almost 14 minutes. Not a minute too long.

On the B side we have a extensive rework of 'Reindeer Salsa' from The Knights Of Jumungus. You might know them better as Mungolian Jet Set, but here they are operating in their capacity as Knights from planet Mung. They are taking us deep into the jungle and doesn't let us out again until the early morning with their mix. Jungle as in the forest kind, not the genre. This is seriously experimental stuff and a truly unique rework.
