our friends from the north with a solid new mini album release by rune bagge and some raw energy on the latest routing for their cease2excist sublabel.
FRIEND OF MINE (EDIT SELECT, ALBERT VAN ABBE RMXS)
12" 07.05.21
clear / gold vinyl. copenhagen based rune bagge explores the universe of raw minimal berlin soundscapes, harmonic detroit strings and elements of dubtechno and combines it all in his own very unique way on his first release on kontakt. rune s talent is widely acknowledged which has already led to releases on respected labels such as ownlife, semantica and northern electronics. albert van abbe gives structure 2 a unique dutch dub interpretation while edit select takes friend of mine on a long and dreamy journey. limited coloured vinyl.
marking his first appearance on northern electronics, copenhagen s rune bagge delivers a debut album of capricious rhythms set against the thrilling glare of an icy daybreak. there are some remarkably magnetic moments to be found in the ambient pieces on pink dreams, though the friction burns from five elements and the rest of the club numbers will demand urgent attention.
rune returns on his own drum island imprint, this time very ably assisted by uk house turned ambient ambassador chris coco weekend billionaires, in its original form is a delightfully lolloping balearic builder. the chris coco sunshine mix immerses those guitar licks and synth pads in a sea of dubbed out, ultra-violet light. already rumoured to be included on harvey s eagerly awaited mercury rising comp. anton klint (tryck & ton / public possession) steps up on the flip with a no-less psychedelic, but decidedly more laser-lit interpretation. finally alta lab wraps things up with a pacier interpretation, housing up the elements into a hypnotic, emotive rendition
rune lindbaek joins bastedos on this new edition featuring two tracks from polar oposites of the bpm spectrum. side a from bastedos features a pacey electronic number with flavours of both rock and disco and a singer making the asertion that i just wanna dance, i just wanna boogie, surely any listener will be left with a similar desire when they hear this at their favourite discotetheque. rune slows it down a gear or two for the flip with his version of supermann, this is a perfect end of the night track that would melt the hips of even the man of steel.
copenhagen-based imprint ectotherm returns with “ingen tak til systemet” from local gem, rune bagge. the ep features four diverse cuts ranging from drum’n’bass-leaning idm to straight, floor-filling techno. as a dj, bagge has been a part of the dk scene for years, providing dancefloors with heavy and crunched up percussive sounds, which he continues with this ep as his debut solo production effort.
ltd pressing , following the frankly huuuuuge norsk tripping release we get another xl rune portion, this time on his own drum island imprint... disko romeiko, as the title may suggest is a stomping, campfire lit and admittedly unlikely culture clash of greek and norwegian music. a vocoder laced, up-tempo workout of norse disco technique and traditional greek melodies that is a surefire dancefloor delight. remixes come from rune collaborator in chief, oyvind blikstad, who pitches the vocoder vox front and centre and strips back the groove while amping up the drama. finally baz reznik opts for a rumbling, acid laced house take... quite a package
oh my goodness ! oslo s rune lindbaek finally unleashes his latest stash of secret weapons - featuring the incredible higher (as featured on harvey s boiler room milan show - back to back no less !) uber rare disco / rock extensions flipped with beautifully realised edits taking in afro- balearia, an early 80 s dub freakout & a sunrise classic. limited run - buy now or cry later .
rune lindbaek s drum island label returns after a short hiatus - and what a return ! rune teams up with recent lp collaborator oyvind blikstad for north, an absolutely beautiful poly-rhythmic norse epic, with soaring strings, shifting live instrumentation and a sophisticated musicality that s light touch enough to lose yourself in completely... the flipside is handled expertly as ever by eddie c eddie never fails to deliver and he s amped up the african elements of north perfectly, taking us to a late night nigerian disco bar for a dubbed out, disco epic stunning stuff & another all ears sureshot limited edition import vinyl - full picture sleeve.
2013 sees the release of norwegian disco viking rune linbaeks latest long player, on his drum island label. its his first album since the 2000 release (sondag) on paper recordings repap offshoot. last years single wonder feat kurt maloo on the label was a day one sell out here at all ears and marked a significant maturing of runes trademark sound. the influence of norway on the worlds forward thinking disco scene & beyond is more than evident, with countrymen like todd terje, prins thomas and hans peter lindstrom all leading the charge for years now. the creative cauldron of the infamous club in a public toilet skansen has much to answer for! krasava is a very much vocal led project, with a cast of featured vocalists which includes norwegian popstar anneli drecker alongside recent collaborator Øyvind blikstad. the album is steeped in norwegian folklore, visually and musically and the gentle lilt of the norse/balearic sound, sits comfortably alongside more cosmic flavours, rock and beautifully crafted pop.
rune lindbaeks drum island returns! having joined forces with celebrated vocalist kurt maloo for this superb balearic vocal gem, rune has drafted in an all-star remix line-up too. superb versions one and all from cos/mes, seahawks and ray mang.

rune lindbaeks most recent output include the meanderthals album, made together with the idjut boys, as well as numerous edits and dj gigs around the stranger parts of the world. now he returns on lf with a fantastic & special ep!!!
a: the flight: the deadly combination of rune and sydenham who brought you the classic >elephant< are at it again. >the flight< is a tech house delight. futuristic beats combined with old school snares and rhythms and a subtle hypnotic vocal will draw you in. the simple organ stabs glue everything together. a damn fine track that will surely cross genres. b: the >crossing< is a humping dubby deep techno monster. the bold bass line drives forward while the fanatic efx put you over the edge. the rhythms are constant are the results are deeply satisfying.
charted by gergor tresher further support by: tom stephan, jerome sydenham, noir, atle, djuma soundsystem,.. a: papperlapapp a hit for djs with balls!! as usual from rune rk, this sounds like nothing else. a very catchy melody mashed up with that classic 101 bassline, makes this a monster on the right system. watch out for the buildups, and let the break run through, because thats where this track really shines. btw papperlapapp is german slang for >nonsense<, so the title seems quite fitting :-) b: filter games (rune rk remix) sommerfugl is a butterfly in danish, and thats exactly what this track is.
