n our extremely talented artist pool we have the luxury of being able to work with local icelandic talent and for our 6th instalment in the lagaffe series we managed cook up a long awaited collaboration with a close friend and producer intr0beatz. intr0beatz has been known in the local music scene for quite some time and became one of the most iconic hip hop producers in iceland with the group forgotten lores. after the scene evolved and took changes intr0beatz reinvented himself as a house music producer. with intr0beatz you never go wrong. a long time hip-hop producer went housey on us, and he got the groove. house and old school hip-hop have a lot in common sampling and chopping old disco/soul tracks is the foundation of both. so this came naturally for him. the four-tracker includes the tracks dumpin (a1), mystery ride (a2), tapas (b1) and desco (b2).
lagaffe tales starts 2018 with an anticipated collaboration with the icelandic artist ilo that has been some years in the making. with an amazing track record and fantastic edits over the years we are honoured to finally have had the chance to release him. take you to love consists of two tracks, (a1) take you to love and (b1) miracles that each have their own side. due to the length of the tracks they have the ability to draw the attention in and take the listener on a ride through ilo s soundscape.
we are extremely happy to have malouane, co-founder of in any case records on board with us at lagaffe tales. this fourth vinyl release consists of what could be reckoned as a mini-lp that travels through malouane s personal space of influences. the release is filled with rich and soulful samples accompanied by warm saturated drum work with an ethnic feel from start to end.
tale of tales is a sampler release from the lagaffe tales family pool. in this third vinyl release and our second tale you will find tracks by the local felix leifur, the swedish sune, the german duo coeo and moony me. this tale is a celebration of our ventures as a label and seals the memories we have with each artist
our second vinyl release features four tracks from our own icelandic moff & tarkin. big mango bangers gives us a good taste of the fresh style that the vienna based producer has to offer. the a side has two great danceable house tracks,naked and i got this that should rock any good dancefloor with some superb sample action. the b side really ties up the record and features mutual distraction a house track with an 80s vibe and skutla a synthony which could really break up and reset the mood as a dj tool. each tracks has a place and the record is a great example of the diversity we try to encourage. supported by: shur-i-kan, harry wolfman, jacques renault, moony me, loz goddard, nachtbraker, dj caspa, craig smith, simba, l atelier, borg ltd etc.
repress, this year we have reached our long term goal as a label which was to expand our releases into the wax department. we feel like we ve done a good job bringing upcoming and original local talent to the surface so far and it is only fitting that our first vinyl release is done by the icelandic duo david & hjalti. the duo has been busy with the production since their arrival from manchester and have played a number of great live sets underlining their skills as producers. we feel that this release is the high standard we set ourselves before going vinyl and that this is just a small first step in a fruitful beginning for the producers david & hjalti.
