KOKNING

Here's "Bergensere," a total sweaty disco rager from Norway's Bjørn Torske. His new album Kokning dropped yesterday on Smalltown Supersound. It's already sold out at their online store, which is a bummer, but you can check that download and another below. Go find the record in shops.

P.S. Feel sort of terrible I hadn't heard of Torske before this album. He's been putting out records since 1998 so I have some backtracking to do.

BURJ KHALIFA

Over a month ago I got a real sparse email from someone who goes by the name of برج خليفة. He or she provided a tumblr and some downloads and that's it. The tumblr itself was also sparse, consisting of just a couple streaming songs with accompanying downloads and terrifying landscape images of Dubai.

The name is Arabic for "Burj Khalifa," a.k.a. the tallest building in the world. The wikipedia page also notes that the structure houses the world's highest swimming pool (76th floor), the world's highest outdoor observation deck (124th floor) and the world's highest mosque (158th floor). All five of the pieces available for download are exactly 8:28 in length, in dedication to the building's height of 828 meters.

Anyway, the music itself is very soothing - huge washes of spacious crystalline sound. I imagine this is the soundtrack of eternal loneliness, the sound of an absolutely gigantic display of human architectural competition that's rented out only 75 of its 900 apartments ten months after its opening. The sound is appropriately icy against Dubai's deserted imagery. The pieces don't really go anywhere and as of now we don't know where they really came from and that's just fine.

Check out Dubai Horizons tumblr and maybe it'll get updated again sometime soon.

DELOFI

A couple weeks ago, Leaving Records posted a 22-minute MP3 of "tape-driven compositions" from Delofi. Dude sent them a tape of beat-scapes, they dug it, I dig it, you should check it out. Furthermore, dude has a deep Soundcloud of beats, a few of which were just upped in the last couple days. Note that these are mere pieces of beats, and a couple of the Soundcloud streams say "instrumental" next to their titles. These are dense chunks of could-be weirdo hip hop tracks, ready and waiting for someone brave enough to spit over them. I'm ready to hear what these pieces could evolve into.

Dude also remixed Leaving Records killerman Oscar McClure as well as dropping a collaborative track with him.

Check out a couple of my favorite parts of Leaving's Delofi tape stream then check some of them Soundclouds.
