björn torske, gottvater der norwegischen cosmic-disco-bewegung und maßgeblicher einfluss für künstler wie prins thomas, lindström und todd terje, begeht das 20-jährige jubiläum seiner solokarriere mit byen, seinem fünften soloalbum. aufgenommen in seinem studio im nordischen bergen, verbindet der veteran auf byen- die beiden prägenden seiten seines musikalischen schaffens, einladende, clubby house music und erhaben-pastorale ambience. insbesondere der 8-minütige Überflieger clean air zeichnet sich durch himmlische synths und knackige backbeats über einer warmen, einladenden bassline aus.

with the norwegian disco movement having given birth to many international dance stars, its most fundamental pioneer bjørn torske is an essential name to know. bjørn laid the foundation for the disco scene in norway that gave birth to prins thomas, lindstrom, andre bratten and todd terje. inspired by dj harvey, ron hardy and idjut boys, bjorn torske brought underground disco and house/techno (chicago/detroit style) to the country, developing a new style of dubby disco with its characteristic humorous and psychedelic twists along the way.

bjorn torske is a special artist with a special name. he was born in northern norway where fishing has been the main industry for hundreds of years and his name literally translates as >bear cod<. even making dinner is unique in norway: you put the potatoes on to boil, go out to sea and catch a fish, then return to prepare the meal…this process is known as >kokning<. to say that northern norwegians do things their own way would be putting it lightly … to say that bjorn torske is making music his own way would be exactly right.

norwegian house/techno legend bjorn torske (svek) teamed up with duo crystal bois to produce this 12 titled >as besto<, a collaboration where the artists remixed, reproduced and made edits of each others material, ending up with three faster techhouse tracks..
