BARN 059EP
|
Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man, Finnish legends and everything-but-grey eminences of electronic music, return to Studio Barnhus for another four-tracker full of the good stuff. Deep house as done by professionals! The world keeps changing, people and sounds come and go, but when Jimi croons away over Freestyle Man's Finn-tastic funk foundations, it all just about makes sense. Plenty of flute solo on this thing as well.

Exactly two years after their debut release landed on Studio Barnhus, MLiR are back with Trans-World Junktion, a summer-ready two-tracker that packs enough musical twists and turns to put your favorite quadruple 12-inch to shame. Half part wide-eyed exotica, half high-intensity festival blitzin' from this Swedish musical collective fronted by Marco Gegenheimer and Einar Christoffersson. Artwork by Stockholm's very own Leolyxxx.

Mount Liberation Unlimited are Tom and Niklas, two Swedes from space who have spent the last five years carving out a particularly vivid niche in contemporary electronic music. Their previous work has seen them connect with an impressive list of global dance powerhouses: New York's Beats In Space, Melbourne's Superconscious, and Munich's Permanent Vacation have all released 12" heat from the duo, while their hometown buddies at Studio Barnhus provided an outlet for what has been perhaps their biggest and boldest release yet, 2017's double smash single Double Dance Lover (BARN 050EP). Their live shows are fervent, fast-paced, and very multi-instrumental affairs, performed non-stop at an increasingly prestigious list of clubs and festivals, serving as prime examples of the MLU boys' core obsession: the interaction of human rhythm and electronic pulse. They have their own great little radio show on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide FM, Australia loves them, and they got their artist friend Tom-Hadar Elde to sculpt their heads for their debut album cover. This self-titled debut on Studio Barnhus has been in progress since the very formation of the MLU project in 2014. It contains some of their earliest work and of course their very latest -- all perfected at the Neve desk of legendary Gothenburg studio Svenska Grammofonstudion, in cahoots with mix engineer Christoffer Berg (Depeche Mode, Robyn, Fever Ray). The result is a sonically fascinating, endlessly generous, and straight-up fun record that takes the listener on a joyride through bittersweet stoner disco, frenzied Scando-kraut jams, and some of the sweetest dance pop to come out of Sweden this side of "Super Trouper".

Off The Meds is a Swedish-South African crew based in Stockholm, consisting of Adrian Lux, Carli Löf, and Måns Glaeser with vocalist Kamohelo Khoaripe. Belter is their first solo release, appearing on Studio Barnhus seven months after the band's Ethio-jazz-influenced "Currency Low" on the much-lauded 2018 label compilation, Studio Barnhus Volym 1 (BARNVOL 001CD/LP). A relentlessly catchy party starter, "Belter" combines classic rave elements with cutting edge production and Kamo's pitch-shifted rapid-fire vocals. Joy O took it upon himself to remix the track, turning it into an extended broken techno trip, a few shades darker and dubbier than the original.

The story of Bella Boo is not one of overnight success, though of course it might appear as such. It wasn't until her Studio Barnhus debut, the Fire EP (BARN 049EP, 2018), that the world finally started talking about Bella's extraordinary production skills. This was followed quickly by "boyboy," a universally-beloved track on Studio Barnhus Volym 1 (BARNVOL 001CD, 2018). Supervillain is Bella's first solo release of 2019, a perfect three-track thing that sees the currently London-based artist continue to expertly straddle the fence between enigmatic dreamlands and groove-locked dance floors. Artwork by Stockholm long-time Bella colla-Boo-rator Alexandra Karpilovski.

Double LP version. Kornél Kovács's second album is on the way via Studio Barnhus, which he runs with Petter Nordkvist and Axel Boman. Stockholm Marathon sees the Swedish-Hungarian producer, who was born in the Swedish capital, "reflecting a lot on this beautiful, boring city I never quite manage to move away from," he says, after moving back in September of 2018. Kovács credits his "dearest Stockholm people" for making the album his most collaborative and most personal release. That list includes jazz musician Niclas Skagstedt, Matt Karmil, Rebecca & Fiona, and Malin Gabriella Nordin, who did the artwork. The album is his second full-length, following 2016's The Bells (BARN 045CD/LP), also released on Studio Barnhus.

For his Studio Barnhus debut, Laurence Guy connects the dots between the lo-fi ambient investigations of his 2017 album Saw You For The First Time, the warm club sounds heard on All I See Is Her (MUSIQ 220EP, 2018), and the London-based DJ/producer's long roots in deep drum'n'bass and dubstep soil. From the unswerving neo-jungle of "Wildlife", through "My Brain Is A Scrambled Egg" with its dusty rave euphorisms, onwards to the hypnotic guitar ballad "It's Good To Try", this six-track EP is chock-full of the sort of unrestrained musical enthusiasm that Studio Barnhus is always on the lookout for.

Repressed. On her self-titled debut EP, Sofia Kourtesis channels experiences of her transatlantic existence between hometowns Lima and Berlin through a torrent of sounds, rhythms, voices, and loops. This world-travelling, MPC-busting, Gold Panda-collaborating maverick's first appearance was with 2018's "WinWin San", a sparkly, razor sharp dance diamond which was received as one of the highlights of Studio Barnhus Volym 1. A self-confessed "travelling bedroom producer", Sofia started the process of writing her debut solo outing with a journey into the Amazon jungle. Stops were also made in front of a dusty Juno 106 in her Berlin bedroom and a Tokyo flea-market.

In the making of her first Studio Barnhus record, veteran DJ and world-travelling introvert Bella Boo divided time between bedroom studios in Ladbroke Grove and Hornstull, where she would hook up a dusty old Tanzbär, press record, and sing straight into the laptop microphone over fuzzy r&b harmonics and snappy analog drums. The result is a collection of fascinating and fascinatingly groovy tracks, shuffling about with grace and vigor in the secret place where warm club music and introspective audio diaries meet to mingle.

Shakarchi & Stranéus inhabit a secret place in the universe of music, one existing at the intersection of Scandinavian poplands, Hisingen forest raves, and outer-national placelessness. Faik Shakarchi and Daniel Stranéus famously started making beats together in the Gothenburg tapas-joint coat check where they both worked as clerks. Their now ten-year-old friendship is the story of legends, their sparse vinyl output the secret love of deep house 12" enthusiasts round the globe -- the warm, vibrant sounds found on those records are a stark contrast to the stripped-down effectiveness of their marathon DJ sets, frequently heard within the more nefarious examples of GBG nightlife. The duo has also been a part of Studio Barnhus since the very beginning, first letting the label into their strange and cozy world with the Dödskallar Och Korallrev EP in 2010, effectively turning what was then a one-release operation into a record label. The distinctive sound of that early material (described by one Discogs commenter as "enlightened, naive future dub for children") has been expanded upon and further defined on their debut album Steal Chickens From Men And The Future From God, its 12 cuts lovingly selected from a plethora of works floating in-and-out of makeshift studios from Storgatan to Gamlestan over the last seven years. The record took its final form at Nacksving, same place where recent albums from Talaboman and Kornél Kovács were sonically perfected in cahoots with mix engineer Matt Karmil. The label and the artists wish to thank Statens kulturråd for their endless patience during the creation of this masterpiece.

Studio Barnhus top sound killer Matt Karmil returns in perfect form, bringing an EP's worth of those very best "Matt Karmil dance tracks" in world-famous reduced-but-raucous style. Four club-toppling, festival-capsizing, DJ-humbling super tools. Tell Me Why is Karmil's first Studio Barnhus release since 2015's Dans-Maxi Från Nacksving (BARN 033EP). Apart from recent solo appearances on Idle Hands and Smalltown Supersound, he has lent his studio magic to some of dance music's finest current and future releases, on Studio Barnhus and elsewhere. This is the first record ever with his face on it.

Richard Sadface was born during a Midsummer's Nightmare on a rooftop in Cologne. He did not become the fiddler on the roof because since his birth he suffered from severe fear of heights. Richard Sadface led a lonely life. Never did he become the dream of someone else. Instead, the thought of him made others turn uncomfortably in their sleep. Never could he claim to be the eyes or the mask of another. The others all looked away. Richard Sadface was a sad man. Richard Sadface by God. Music by Superpitcher.

Finnish legends and everything-but-grey eminences of electronic music, Jimi Tenor and Freestyle Man revive their dormant partnership on this four track EP for Studio Barnhus, jam-packed with classic drum machine funk, congenial synth lines, and Jimi's unmistakable lead vocals and flute-playing. The Sleepover EP is fueled by the two maestros' mutual love for New Jersey house music and pyjama parties, as well as musical wisdom gained from numerous collaborations in the past, ranging back to some fabled mid-90s Sähkö releases.

2x12" version. Reveries Of begins with a simple electrical hum - a starting signal for the appearance of a vibrant array of sound, shifting before us in seemingly random motion. Before you know it, all those pulsating melodies, razor-cut hi-fi-house beats and drunken robot jazz ensembles start forming into patterns, secretly and perfectly designed by one Art Alfie. A long time operator in Stockholm's small but insistent underground music scene, Oscar Wedrén broke through internationally in 2012 with the Karlovak project, founded with on-off studio and DJ partner Rudolf Nordström, aka Mr. Tophat. The duo's inexplicably fresh takes on classic dance music tropes is as much a result of a brilliantly odd pairing of personalities as of a defined concept and a precise method in searching for the perfect house groove. While writing Reveries Of, Art Alfie freed himself of all conceptual footholds, delving instead deep into his archives of old and new memories and feels, working with improptu field recordings, and emotionally-guided sampling processes. He came back with an intricate and personal debut album and he didn't lose his groove on the way. "Esquinas" features Daniel Rääf.
