Lindstrom & Prins Thomas are the shit

Well, I'm proud of it as a first effort (otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it) but it's not gonna raise the wigs of any techno hardheads.

"The OwP remix is a Prins Thomas favourite and has been played a lot by him already."

I didn't think 6 cups was jokey either. I just feel like I didn't give it the time to get into enough. I know at some point I will. It's not the kind of thing that needs to be arresting from the outset anyway.

Nice, Owen! I can't wait to hear your first (released) foray into techno. I've made some things over the last year but too embarrassed to let anyone hear 'em. Plus, you know, I'm not a real musician.

lol, thanks matt

right on owen! can't wait to hear it!!!

these new tracks are bloody great. and echoing everyone, really looking fwd to the remix OP!

Is the Soundcloud link we're raving about the original or a Todd Terje remix (or a collaboration)?

Rà-àkõ-st? Lindstrom original, mixed by Terje.

actually now i'm not sure - i just checked the juno link where it says (Todd Terje extended edit) for both ra-ako-st and eg-ed-osis. I guess it's a collab?

Ra-ako-st is pretty good but Eg-ed-osis is AMAZING. It just goes up and up and up!

For Immediate Release

LINDSTRØM ANNOUNCES NEW FULL-LENGTH ALBUM, SMALHANS, OUT NOVEMBER 5TH ON SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND

LISTEN TO SMALHANS’ “RÁ-ÁKÕ-ST” NOW

Smalhans is the fifth solo album by Norwegian producer Hans-Peter Lindstrøm, and his second album to come out in 2012. Earlier this year he released Six Cups of Rebel, which was a very personal album for Lindstrøm and showed his more experimental side. Now, this forthcoming record, out November 5th on Smalltown Supersound, finds Lindstrøm back on the dance floor with six monumental tracks – classic Lindstrøm style.

Smalhans was mixed by his friend Todd Terje, who has also made extended edits which will be released as 12”s. The album title is an old Norwegian word and means scarcity or simply poverty. Each track on the album is titled after a traditional Norwegian meal.

Smallhans is Lindstrøm at his very best, perfected by Todd Terje.

fwiw "råkost" = shredded raw vegetables

Sweeeeeeeet.

All these are kind of great!

I noticed that was up for pre-order on iTunes for $6.99 when I bought the new tracks the other day.

WHY IS HER HAND SO SMALL?!

there is a blog that 'shops people's hands to make them tiny. i suppose that explains the how more than the why.

ha

i can't tell if that's a guy or girl. legit

first impulse is girl but i dunnnnno man

i assumed it was lindstrom's grandma or something

lindstrom's grandma is pretty hot

so is lindstrom

Yes.

The single (and the remixes! including O-Palz') are on Spodify, FYI.

nice, ta.

That O-Palz remix is the ~strangest~ thing I've heard in a while. And I mean that in the best possible way. Like, as soon as it was over, I had to go back and listen to it again to work out what it was that I had been listening to. In a "wait, this makes no sense, and yet it is super more-ish!" Like, this has all the hallmarks of a techno remix - but it is not a techno remix at all, it sounds like Steve Reich deconstructing a techno remix.

I'm worried that this sounds faintly insulting, which is not intended at all - I like it a lot, and want to listen to it again and again. But it's not at all what I was expecting from the description - it's something a lot more interesting.

Actually the original is a pretty strange track to start with. I had forgotten. I'm trying to give 6 Cups another listen with a clearer mind, so we'll see how far we get.

6 cups is such a weird record & very personal ?

I am starting to think "very personal" means "please don't criticise me too harshly, I know it was not much cop but I was trying my hardest, alright?"

or more like "please don't criticise me too harshly, I know it was not much cop but I was going through some weird shit at the time"

OK, yeah, that sounds a lot fairer. (I am a terrible person.)

yeah, I thought mb it was more of an attempt to play around w/ records he grew up with, a nostalgic project. still haven't digested it properly, I ended up listening more to the mix cd that came w/ it & w/ that omar suleyman remix of bjork &c.

It would be like dismissing Basement Jaxx on the basis that Armand Van Helden had already been around and doing his thing.

but but but

In retrospect that was a pretty good analogy.

pretty good justification for dismissing jaxx post-rooty imo imo

surely that is more justification for dismissing Remedy than post-Rooty which (for better or worse, after Kish Kash mostly worse) sounds nothing like Van Helden.

New album from Prins Thomas coming late October:
