the debut album from viken arman.

2022 repress! crussen is one of norways most likeable exports - so join him for a very special breakfast.

wenn sie die musikalische welt von viken betreten, werden sie bald feststellen, dass der musiker eine interessante wendung im sound genommen hat. die ep schlägt eine brücke zwischen der elektronischen musik und dem künstlerischen umfeld, mit dem viken aufgewachsen ist.

here is a new release for presale: a new ep by viken arman on his own imprint denature records. it comes with two remixes by acid pauli & nicola cruz.

life is an important track for me. i m obsessed with the past, with history and the way we apprehend life through the ages. i tried to express this deep feeling into music. so this track is about someone or something growing up. its really as intense and emotional as life can be. here today, gone tomorrow!

as we welcome another talented artist to our family we asked viken about the first part of a two part release and he told us it s really important to understand that this ep is a series of pictures telling a story. combining the names of all the tracks one gets this interesting and dreamy sentence, on a blue road a white shadow feels the winter. to translate these pictures into music, i needed a very particular sound. since i am a huge fan of jazz music i took one of my favorite records, used a lot of samples and reworked them in my own way. from the technical aspect, i decided to reconnect with my first love: analog machines. i love working with sound textures. i stayed away from my laptop and all my vst/plugins as i felt the need to compose these tracks in an unusual way: i wanted the sound to be really pure. that s the reason why this process was so essential for me. for me, this ep is the first one to sound like this. this is the first of two releases from a deeply talented soul. a patient collage of house, jazz, acid squiggles and deep emotion. played and loved all summer long by lee burridge at all day i dream, these tracks will stay with you through winter and into next summer.

sireli is the first release of viken armans newly created record label. he will be gathering his closest friends on this project and was was joined by bedouin, mira, christopher schwarzwalder, canson and nutia for this ep. sireli is an amalgam of vikens unique folkloric and traditional crafted sounds. drop of raki is the result of an unexpected early morning collaboration with jo.ke and iannis ritter. the track goes deeper into vikens armenian roots and oriental influences.

kicking off with the first track -lose yourself-, vikan arman mixes different cultural influences to an exciting and mysterious intro of the 3 track ep. guitars rise into unknown spaces of deep bass and hidden complexity of beatstructures.

diving into nu’s musical world is like a butterfly’s flight through the tropical nature of the peruian andes. orchídeas. cantutas. mariposa. at berlin’s bar25 club, nu was a pioneer. with his organic sounds, he paved new paths and set the foundation for a new genre: relaxed, open-minded, playful, floating, full of soul and depth.under the alias canu, he and mexican world-traveler alejandro castelli draw us under a spell once again with “mariposa“. the unwavering beat grooves to the sound of the melody. equally inspired by his music, bedouin, kmln, viken arman and davi each contribute a remix to this single. these four artists are also among the brightest stars on the night‘s horizon. let’s fly little mariposa…

ijsbrand & gert had always wanted to create balkan inspired music, and hence came the duo stavroz. their music is imprinted with original inspirations while keeping to a jazzy/burlesque influence. the bridge, so it seems, borderlines between minimal and jazz-house.
