when the fight-or-flight response edges in—adrenaline coursing and perception wired—our behaviour is especially spiked by an emotional intensity. and with that peak comes a trough. it’s a chemical freefall, just like a crush.
presented by posh isolation, “crush” marks the beginning of the end for varg’s turbulent nordic flora series. getting us lost in an exhilarating maze of fainting beauty and breaks, the fifth piece of the series invites us to relish the harmony just as much as the dissonance.
following on from the previous iterations of the series, particularly the widely acclaimed “nordic flora series pt.3: gore-tex city”, the cast of collaborators remain familiar. some faces are more prominent on this occasion, while others were folded into the series for the first time at last year’s berlin atonal festival where varg’s nordic flora program was unveiled.

kakkmaddafakka nahmen hus in einer alten villa im norwegischen bergen auf, die frontmann axel vindenes per zeichnung auf dem cover verewigte. entsprechend warm und familiär klingen die neuen kakkmaddafakka songs, wie gewohnt hübsche, kleine ohrwürmer, angesiedelt zwischen pop und indie mit sehr viel soul, einer leichten melancholie und diesem soften disco-flair, das so typisch ist für die norwegische musikszene. hus enthält zehn kleine, kuschelige geschichten über liebe und leben, die die zahlreichen kakkmaddafakka fans auf diesem planeten lieben werden.

- gore-tex city- is varg s new album, and third in his nordic flora series, marking a further and deeper sweep of his elements. stealth dance floor assaults are layered with lobotomised, spoken word meetings in malls, and free-form electronics pepper acou

varg marks the start of his expansive nordic flora series with four tracks of downcast euphoria, fitted with enough bump to make you mistake the smoke machine for a riot control agent.

andré laos second act on let s play house is a continuation of his first. like roundabout, nordic delight (the guy hails from gothenburg, so you can guess where the title originated), is sunny and bright piano laden house that s as melodious as it is layered and ornate. unlike that ep, though, this one really revolves around one track stroganoff which is presented in three different forms: a vocal mix, a piano stew dub, and a remix from anton klint of tiedye. supplementing and equalizing those is kalops, the 12inches second original.

we at eskimo recordings are proud to present you the first in a series of double a-side releases. casio social club (aka justin winks) is paying homage to the summer with nordic nights. its an upbeat disco track which is bound to get everyone on cloud nine. and on the dancefloor. kolombos cooperation with michael parker was already featured on aeroplanes inflight entertainment comp. this time hes collaborating with djuma soundsystem, who everyone will still remember from their intergalactic 2006 hit les djinns.with cherimoya, this danish-belgian cooperation seems to work out perfectly! double a-side boys & girls.

2017 saw cesar merveille & ryan crosson deliver their second long player in the shape of cerulean, drawing on their modern classical, jazz, ambient and abstract influences to create yet another unique listen featuring collaborations with a classical pianist, trumpet, guitar and double bass players. here we see those original parts eschewed into something entirely fresh from friends and close associates of the duo. leading on the release is cadenza boss lucianos sous le sol interpretation of arp, which twists and turns through the hypnotic chimes and emotive piano chords of the original whilst stirring in luciens signature modulating and intricately evolving rhythmic style. following is a collaborative rework from new yorks phil moffa and seth troxler which employs ethereal synth drones and stuttering vocal cuts alongside a bumpy percussive drive and pulsating subs. perlons bruno pronsato steps up next to remix even tides, delivering his typically raw and emotive style via glitched out, mind-bending percussion, elongated bass drones and cleverly reshaped cuts of the originals cinematic elements. l.as clovis then closes the package with his remix of nordic bummers, employing shuffled hats, lumpy subs and crunchy claps at its core whilst horn swells and aiy atmospherics ebb and flow throughout.

merveille & crosson return to visionquest this october with their second long player, entitled cerulean and featuring nine original compositions from the duo. 2012 saw the release of cesar merveille & ryan crossons critically acclaimed inaugural long player drm, seeing the pair veer their output into abstract realms and embrace a more eclectic left on centre production style. here five years later the pair return with their second album cerulean, again tipping the focus over to a modern classical, jazz, ambient and abstract aesthetic, featuring collaborations with juliard trained classical pianist julien quinten, no regular play’s greg paulus on trumpet, wareika’s henrik raabe on guitar, yonathan levi on double bass, moritz baumgartner adding additional drum work and berlins signum saxophone quartet. across the ‘cerulean’ project merveille, crosson and all involved offer up an amalgamation of sounds and styles from the freeform jazz odyssey styles of even tides and nordic bummers to the ethereal ambience of intro (almost raw) and mcyh whilst subtly nodding towards their minimal roots with acid pal and qaudra. the pair also radiantly display their love for the new age modular synth style with arp and life in the 80s with intricately programmed, dynamic melodies throughout, all in all resulting in a truly unique and forward thinking project from an array of talents.
