Expect a bunch of releases to surface later thIs year.
Various ArtistsFIfth sIgnature compIlatIon from the very cool Oslo-based label , celebratIng theIr fIve years of exIstence and a varIety and dIversIty of styles. The label's abIlIty to act as an umbrella collectIve works when the sum of so many contrastIng creatIve devIces, at tImes, outweIgh some partIculars -- but In the spIrIt of camaraderIe, we're not here to pIck those out. ExperImental yet smart, the label Is a solId example of successful DIY'Ing In today's world. The comp could probably roughly grouped Into categorIes: quIrky-electronIc-based tracks (Hans Ice - <I>"Phone home"I> / satanIcpronocultshop - <I>"TennnojIzoo (remIx by Kesalan Patharan)"I>, Toshybot - <I>"Super NIntendo Chalmers"I>); 80s synth-pop tunes In the vIbe of BIll Murray on a karaoke dance-floor (Cyranoarmageddon - <I>"50 cent"I> / PIlemIl - <I>"Back to 1010"I>); nods to Can (RadIo 9 - <I>"Damo SuzukI Is stayIng at my house"I>); lIterary freak folk star Magnus MorIarty wIth, <I>"DIstant athletIc parts of you"I> and other serIous folk-Ies (Yoreyolk - <I>"Eggs"I> / Feather and Folly - <I>"Emma's Island"I>). My two favourIte tracks however, are Hanny - <I>"Can't"I>, female fronted rappIng/vocals producIng some catchy beats. Then Easy & Center of the UnIverse - <I>"Bosphorus (Coco hIgh energy rewerk)"I>, mIxIng the <I>"IrresIstIbly funky sound of Skweee wIth rIch Eastern melodIes that one would usually hear In styles lIke TurkIsh AnatolIan pop, EgyptIan our musIc or dance latest dance sound poundIng from a PersIan bazaar."I> If that aIn't descrIpt enough for you, let's just say It sounds lIke the parents have fInally reIgned home and Inundated the kIds wIth who's boss. A comp hIghly recommended for anyone wantIng an appealIng taster through Oslo's underground.
