after several remixes and many amazing live shows the duo jonsson & alter is back with the first 12-inch since their critically acclaimed album mod, an album described as the best house album of 2011 by a number of critics. now it is summer 2012 and the duo returns with an ep more straightforward than previous works. the ep for you, aims for the dancefloor with the sophisticated house anthem for you on the a side, followed by the deeper and unique sounding ljuset on the b side. enjoy!

finally the remixes of the celebrated jonsson/alter mod album is here – featuring no less than minilogue, donato dozzy and dorisburg (half of swedish duo genius of time). my god, that took some time. but no harm is done. all remixes has some kind uplifting and sunny trance mode to them, so as it turns out, this is actually the prefect spring release.minilogue starts out with the track kyrka 2.0 and ads both speed and length. donato takes on the track acapellan and does everything right. keeping the beautiful vocals of the original, donato adds bass line and new drums. the ep closes with another swedish contribution. alexander berg aka dorisburg from duo genius of time reworks djup house, and does it well. a solid bass line keeps us grounded to the dance floor while dreamy melodies and harmonies gently lift our serotonin levels. enjoy! before leaving you to the music we would like to thank minilogue, donato dozzy, dorisburg and last but not least, henrik jonsson and joel alter

check jatten ... big track .. there has been a lot of talk about a nordic house sound lately. here two guys thatit hit it right on the head! jonsson/alter aka jonsson (porn sword tobacco/gunnar jonsson)and alter (joel alter/jor-el) checking out some abandoned synthesizers alter found in the streets. a jam session started that has not yet ended. kontra musik again manages to pick out some gems.

another debut for the new bass culture release. for bcr013, we welcome swedens joel alter. as a trained violinist and composer for the swedish national theatre, joels first steps into the world of electronic composition came with an exotic mixture of classical influence and modern inspiration, from acts such as depeche mode, jean-michel jarre and front 242. a key figure on the swedish music scene since 1995, joel has always seen his music as stemming from the meeting of a variety of artforms. his first steps onto the international circuit came with the signing of material to int. deejay gigolo and minus. since then, he has developed a strong relationship with hamburg label, room with a view, featuring on seven releases since early 2009, as well as releasing on berlin based label sweatshop...

joel alter blew us away some months ago with his soul clap release on sweatshop! a much under-rated record which makes things go wild everytime its being dropped. now he is back strong with more straight pumping chicago-inspired tracks that continues alter s forays into the rougher, tougher side of house music. simple and effective tracks that reminds us of early raw house projects of jeff mills with basic elements and phat drum machines. joel alter going back to the basics and pushing the right buttons!

the solid tumbling tones found on this ep are all thats needed as an introduction to these two accomplished producers latest creation. both strong forces in their own right, the pair come together once again on sweatshop to present their vision of dancefloor harmony, and mystery! sirens is the aptly titled track whose crazy vibe is encapsulated by jacking, swinging percussion, wild pitching synth stabs and a haunting soprano soloist letting loose! this needs to be experienced to be believed, but the proof will be in the dancefloor, hands in the air and minds expanded! moirae works the tension with dense filtered stabs and crisp solid state percussion, driving this deep slab of dark dance into blissful moments of release. mellow yet urgent, its a raw, purist electronic statement! joel alter also offers up a special edit which focuses the groove in a slightly more kinetic direction, with reduced, aquatic synth work and a classic club energy that makes it an ideal addition to the package.

sweatshops third release rolls on in with two hot, old-school-vibed productions from joel alter! swedish-berliner alter turns in two fresh, yet raw, cuts that are perfect for the winter club season, and a special edit from label boss savas pascalidis also features. lead cut soul clap is a heavy metal bass weapon for the house or techno floors. pure adrenal action is on hand from the outset, where joels sub-assured kick and ravey, filthy organ riff works the groove. direct and straight to the point, its a strong, forward leaning tool that is sure to get the fires burning in early 2010. savas pascalidis also re-works soul clap with his own edited version, working the 909 into overtime and turning up the intensity even higher! classic and tough chicago vibes all the way!

ben macklin & jay p have a string of productions behind them that spans the best part of the last two decades. ben has carved asuccessful solo career with releases on free2air and azuli, and as one half of sucker djs on toolroom and hed kandi. on top of this,he has remixed fedde le grand, space cowboy and wally lopez to name but a few. jay p is the alter ego of vern (of stretch & vernfame), projects include reflekt and superbass and his own mono-type records imprint. on top of this, he has written five tracks for the last kylie album, and has two on the brand new little boots album.joy malcolm needs little introduction: she delivered her excellent vocal performances throughout incognitos most successful album everone hundred degrees and risin, recorded songs with moby for his 2007 go the very best album release and also toured with him aswell as with the basement jaxx.

loke rahbek returns with his fifth album under the croatian amor alias with love means taking action, recently premiered at the 2016 edition of berlin atonal where it was considered by many as one of the festival highlights. although not as harsh and abrasive as previous albums, such as genitalia garden or last years the wild palms, rahbeck still manages to execute a polarising opus, comprised of short ambient journeys which incorporate various sonic influences and clever use of sampling outside of his usual employment of textural noise treatments. field recordings, immaculate synthesis and emotional vocal snippets are interspersed throughout this exploration of love and human connection. the title track, in particular, could well be one of our favourite songs this year. quite simply: breathtaking.

when he proceeded further into the production process, he limited himself using the computer less and instead learning to trust his intuition, the flow of his fingers and to use his own voice as an instrument. this led to an album that is rather hard to pin down genre-wise but even easier to connect to emotionally when you listen to it from start to finish.
