"Ljudverket celebrates the tenth release of the imprint with music by Rasmus Hedlund. Intet Efter Allt is the result of new explorations in the field of ambient, dub and techno. Crossing borders with electro and other genres, the tracks are still sonically faithful to the sound of Ljudverket -- highly organic synthesis accompanied by field recordings. The record starts off like a journey through nature. The thunder and rain of 'Bas Emfas' shifts to blue skies above shimmering water with 'Luminös Klang'. Continuing on the flip side with the cerebral jam 'Konflux Sekvens', the EP ends in the deep emotions of 'Sonisk Morgonsyn', to finish the trip."

"Ljudverket's 11th release is a four-tracker from a man of many sounds and personas, Vesa-Matti Kivioja. Here, operating under his given name, he delivers four tracks of experimental dub and electronica, taking the listener from his/her living room all the way to a dimly lit dance floor in an alien planet, with a sound system capable of producing frequencies way below human hearing and a smoke machine filled with unknown substances. 'These are recycled patterns forming sounds which describe minerals and stones. The use of stone has had a huge impact on the cultural and technological development of the human race. Often composed of grains of minerals, in nature, more than one substitution may be found in the same mineral. It can be made of one element or more elements combined together. A hard, solid, non-metallic, naturally occurring inorganic substance. It is found in a wide variety of geological locations. It's not made by humans.'"

"Outstanding four-tracker from Vaasa, Finland, crossing Basic Channel grooves with more cosmic, synthy vibes. Soulful, hands-on, swirling, spaciously grooving."

"Fifth release by this excellent label, run out of Vaasa, Finland. Deep, dubwise techno, intently balanced and varied, its heart on its sleeve for analogue and vintage digital equipment and the Basic Channel tradition, but with strong Nordic flavors. Moody and murky, melodic soul and a vast sense of starry space."

"The first Ljudverket full-length covers all the bases. Twelve tracks of dub-techno, ambient, motorik, and electro, with a sub-arctic heart of darkness. Suspenseful and warmly entertaining."

"As Ljudverket is a heavily art-influenced label, the second release was made as a part of a sound installation for an exhibition in Helsinki. Rasmus Hedlund and Tuomo Väänänen's 2LP consists of 80 locked groove loops, 20 on each side. The installation itself holds four vinyl players, where every side of the records are represented as a sound source, from where the participants could themselves choose a random loop and thus create their own soundscapes. This is one for the collectors, and no more than 200 copies are being produced. All loops written and produced by Rasmus Hedlund and Tuomo Väänänen."
