Summaries/Descriptive Pieces

  • TORE LJØKELSØY QUARTET - PANORAM
    Sparky, raw and untiringly nuanced, Dugnad Rec continue their bold additions to the world of jazz. As expected from the Tore Ljøkelsøy Kvartett, this jam-packed album arrives in one compositionally refined and mature expression. The work is filled with a playful and often cheeky vitality, yet remains underscored by a professorial consistency that marks it with the unmistakable stamp of intellect and class. One should expect nothing less.

As if scripting a film, each song seems to carve its own scene, earnestly shedding light onto all characters involved; yet doing so without favouritism. No role is unimportant, no instrument misses its moment in the limelight. Percussion leads but is equally impartial to a backseat, piano saunters in and out with stutters of brass that evolve into increasingly bold and enigmatic phrases, each element playing off the stable and resonant metronome of the double bass. Despite all this, nothing is ever rushed. 

  • TORTUSA, JOAR RENOLEN & JO DAVID MEYER LYSNE - TOKYO, NOVEMBER 2017
    Taken from Jo David Meyer Lysne’s concerts in Tokyo and Chiba in Japan, 2017 – the remixes by Joar Renolen and John Derek extract from and add to the original recordings in equal measure. What they maintain is a pensive and ethereal essence, complimented with personal sentiments that are reflective of the unique exchange between an artist and their environment.

    An overarching message of this work was to focus on the feedback loop between an artist and their environment. The artist impresses their experiences, beliefs and feelings upon their surroundings and the surroundings reply with a life of their own.

Record Label Info & Manifesto

  • Trylion Records is an Amsterdam based record label run by Lukasz Bobek. Untethered from the mind and now actualised in vinyl form, Trylion Records proudly flaunts the raw and authentic sounds of European Techno - drawing influence from Poland, Germany and The Netherlands.

    Working closely with both established and up and coming artists, Trylion Records is made for fun and the aim is simple - provide people with music that makes them move. Remaining true to founder Bobek’s vision, the focus revolves around four-to-the-floor dark techno, but the idea with each release is to encourage variations around this theme. Paying homage to the influences of the German legacy, Berlin can be heard rummaging through the undercarriages of each vinyl cut.

    Not limited to the dance floor, but certainly centered around it, the label focuses on brooding and ominous atmospheres with jolts of electric energy woven through its fabric. Where there is a will to dance, there is a way with Trylion Records. Establishing itself in one of Europes techno mecca’s - Amsterdam, the label sits at the heart of a burning dance music scene. Drawing on Bobek’s diverse network, Trylion is not short of creative fuel and always emphasizes an intimate relationship between producer and label. This close relationship ensures the central message radiates from each release.

    Open-minded, but always remaining true to the core of the techno genre, Trylion is pushing the boundaries of traditional form with a novel, revitalised and invigorated outlook. From intimate gatherings in hideaway venues to strobe scattered warehouses of crowds in their thousands, Trylion marks a stamp of class in an evolving electronic landscape.
