DESCRIPTION:
Chunky House / Electronic Deep House with a Tech Edge - After joining forces on the collaborative album “Square One” earlier this year, Bjørn Torske & Prins Thomas are now ready to share their brand new 12inch named “Arpa”. The new 12inch is the perfect continuation of the album. Prins Thomas explains:
”After the initial "Square One"sessions we felt that "Arpa" was less of a "teamplayer"and one that would be difficult to shoehorn naturally into position on the album. Where the album sounded more like breaking new(old) ground between the two of us, "Arpa"is the one that felt most like an expected outcome from these sessions. Purpose made for adventurous dancefloors, either on earth or in a parallel universe you'll find "Arpa"in 3 versions. The original with it's sparse BUT "all hands on the desk"arrangement, the chopped up and reassembled remix with it's static energy cranked up to the max and last but not least the "Plastikman BUT in the 60's..." version in "drum version". Once again utilizing a giant mi

Last FM Information on Bjorn Torske

Norway has always had an unusual musical climate. At one end of its spectrum is black metal; at the other, the sort of zero-gravity electronica that seems tailor-made for Cafe del Mar compilations. Bjorn Torske falls towards the latter camp - his remix of Royksopp’s Eple brought him brief recognition in 2001 - but he’s clearly also a fan of weirder sounds: The Residents and 23 Skidoo. Feil Knapp dances between genres so brilliantly that by the time you get to Kapteinens Skjegg, a mix of dark, digital dub and Viking horns, you won’t know whether you’re in Babylon or Valhalla. But you’ll like it. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
Last FM Information on Prins Thomas
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Prins Thomas is responsible for a swag of the eclectic ‘space-disco’ sounds emanating from his homeland, Norway.
Prins Thomas first poked his head up in dance circles in 2003, joining forces with pal Lindstrøm to bring a new kind of vibe to disco circles, one that was as in love with instrumental rock and noodly seventies jazz as dusty old disco gems. Peer over the decks at their early gigs and it appeared that Prins was the DJ and Lindstrøm was the live act, but recently Prins has struck out on his own, producing for labels such as Kompakt, Mindless Boogie and his own imprint Full Pupp (Check his 'Ferrara' twelve for the dirtiest bass action of 2006).
As a DJ, Prins brings a bit of a live vibe to his sets, as evidenced by his debut mix CD 'Cosmo Galactic Prism' this summer, which took the prize for the most super-eclectic tracklist of the year, finding room for Hawkwind, Joe Meek and even Bob James amid the beats. Likewise for his RA Podcast, Prins spins a set made up of a whole lot of names we haven't quite heard of, and some we have, but the rarity of the cuts is part of the pleasure. As is the length. "It's a 'set' from A-Z, done as compressed and short as I can," explains Prins. "It would be different if I was happy doing strictly minimal sets or something but that's not where I'm from..." Settle in for the ride. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
