Sales Information:

For this latest offering the imprint turns once again to local talent 'Ishivu' for two cuts of deep and cultured house music backed with remixes from Matt Karmil and Shakarchi & Straneus. The release will appear as a limited vinyl 12" with it's own unique, hand drawn artwork by reknowned artist Ingo Giezendanner (http://www.grrrr.net/).

The record opens up with the excellent 'Gryning' , meaning 'dawn' in swedish. It's a stripped backed affair with a bobbling bassline and sparse percussion leading the way before a multitude of off-kilter FX hit the sound pallette to great effect.

The addition of warm, swelling pads, subtle melodic parts and muted vocal snippets all add to the depth of the production and give a sense of early morning. In compliment to dawn, Ishivu follows up with 'dusk', or 'Skymning' as it's titled in his native tongue.

Filtered toms and skittering hats blend with understated birdsong to lead the listener into a hypnotic and immersive track dominated by edgy bass and wonky pads.

The EP is completed with two remixes of 'Gryning'. The first comes from UK DJ/producer Matt Karmil who has had a busy year, releasing on Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space label and remixing for the likes of John Talabot and Axel Boman's Talaboman. Here he reworks the original into a more direct dancefloor cut whilst retaining the charm of Ishivu composition.

The second mix comes from Studio Barnhus regulars Shakarchi & Straneus who reassemble 'Gryning' in their own image, dropping in delayed vocal edits and scattered percussion to delvier a near perfect groove.

This is a sublime package from a producer that deserves out attention.
