Stockholm LTD welcomes Nihad Tule to the label, pairing the Sweden-based producer with label boss Par Grindvik for a split EP titled >Landmarks<. Each component of this five track release, although written separately, fits together like a story which was meant to be.
‘Landmarks’ follows the success of Grindvik’s premiere LP ‘Isle of Real’, released via Stockholm LTD in May, an album which spans the breadth of Grindvik's influences from his 20 year career. Here, the focus is firmly on the club floor. SLOBODA label head Tule bookends the release with two tracks of paralleled intensity. ‘Kuortane (Landmarks)’ pairs grainy, ethereal chords with thundering drums, while ‘Bleed’ closes the EP with nervous percussion layered underneath bubbles of twisted melody. Grindvik bridges Tule’s work with a double dose of high-grade techno in the form of ‘Tradition’ and ‘Rested’, both tracks laced with Grindvik’s trademark haunting themes, which bind the EP together to form a perfect whole.
