Sound of underground breakbeat remix2/17/2022 I’m a big fan of Of Norway.”īruce Tantum (XLR8R) – “Gorgeous music all around. Three (Hallucienda) – “Both originals and the Prins Oblonsky remix for me. These ‘Eyes’ are a sublime treat for the ears. The remixes take the tracks in various dance floor directions, from deep house, to peak time rumblers, to mysterious minimal techno ambiance. A warehouse bass-line – reminiscent of early Warp tracks - takes the lead, accompanied by fluttering arpeggios that chase up and down the scales. “Normal Eyes” is also from a similar vein, but works in house music rhythms and spacey pad hits. Its distinctive vibe will stand out in any DJ’s set. “Dim Your Eyes” is a moody breakbeat number, featuring transported-from-another-world vocals, bouncing sub-bass, and deliciously tweaky synth sounds. The Eyes EP exposes both tunes and includes remixes from Syntax Erik, Terje Saether, Karl Fraunhofer, and Prins Oblonsky. “ Normal Eyes” appeared on the collection to much acclaim, but the other track - the also brilliant “ Dim Your Eyes” – demanded to be heard. The duo recently contributed to Beatservice’s Prima Norsk 5 compilation, delivering two tracks instead of the requested single cut. This latest single, the Eyes EP, continues a string of top notch releases from Of Norway on the Beatservice imprint. Through cuts on the likes of Connaisseur Recordings, Rockets & Ponies, and Darkroom Dubs and explosive DJ and live gigs, the two are a well-known commodity in underground dance music. Oslo’s Vegard Wolf Dyvik and Christian Steenstrup make up Of Norway, an eclectic electronic duo consistently releasing stellar music for over a decade. Totally my jam.”Īvailable Now From: Beatport, Juno Download, Spotify, And Apple Music. For me, the Jem Stone version takes me straight back to the heady days of Finger Lickin', but Rory Hoy's version is a VERY close second! Loving this. TOtALcULt (Ramp FM) – “What a great package! Seriously. If I had to though, it'd probably be Jem Stone remix - maybe because I miss the Nu Skool Breaks era of good old Finger Lickin' releases.” Fantastic track and remixes from all involved.”īMD (XLNT) – “XLNT release!
