The third album from Kasper Bjørke, Fool, is another tour de force in his signature production style. The versatile Copenhagen producer and DJ follows up on his successful sophomore solo album from 2010 Standing On Top Of Utopia (HFN 004CD/LP) that reached high acclaim from the international press and indie blogosphere. Like a vinyl record, the track list has been split into two sides: the pop-infused, vocal-based bittersweet love songs of the "Hungry Side" is halfway through taken over by an overture that leads into the darker and mainly instrumental "Foolish Side," containing spaced-out, psychedelic trips and no-wave disco voyages. Both moods however, fluently melt together as one coherent piece -- playful, yet clever -- and definitely Kasper's most ambitious album to date. Features vocals from Jacob Bellens (Murder and I Got You On Tape), Emma Acs (The Inbred Family) and Laidback.

Kasper Bjørke is the Danish multi-talent whose beautiful, classic analog meets cutting-edge futuristic. Standing On Top Of Utopia (HFN 004CD/LP) kickstarted a revolution in post-electronic stylings. This remix package represents this whole-heartedly, with three outstanding remixes of "Heaven." Prins Thomas' "Diskomiks" version stretches out dreamily over 9 minutes in this timeless rearrangement, while Muzzle Flash adds a little more pressure for the dancefloors while still maintaining that slower, lazy vibe. Also includes a mix by Nicolas Jaar.

HFN music proudly presents its first artist release with Kasper Bjørke's second long-player, Standing On Top Of Utopia. Two years after his much-applauded solo debut In Gumbo (released on NYC-based Plant Music in 2007), Denmark's Kasper Bjørke is thriving in the heart of the Copenhagen electronic scene. After more than a decade as a busy producer and DJ, Kasper has released his work on labels such as Plant Music, Fine, Thugfucker and V2 Records, and in addition, received a Danish Music Award for "Best Producer" for the project Filur, which he still runs with his old friend Tomas Barfod. This album is an exciting, multi-genre journey through Kasper's mature, extravagant and richly musical mind. Lashings of glittering analog synthesizer jams, warm, throbbing post-disco trips, touching, heart-felt pop songs and dark electronic club tools are all present. Kasper really went to town on this album, and each track literally overflows with first-class studio and musical ability. Bursting with live instrumentation, tape deck overdubs and an unmissable finger-on-the-pulse atmosphere, it's a treat for the ears, and in fact, all the senses. Ten uplifting, melancholic, timeless and life-affirming songs lie in store. A veritable Danish entourage of vocalists including Louise Foo (Giana Factory) and Tomas Höffding (WhoMadeWho) are featured on the album, alongside a wide selection of guest musicians. Jacob Bellens (I Got You On Tape/Murder) wrote the song and contributed the vocals and lyrics on "Young Again," the first single to be lifted from the album, which will be remixed by WhoMadeWho, Tomboy, Serge Santiago, and Lopazz & Zarook. Other remixes will follow from Jimpster, Zombie Disco Squad, and Kenton Slash Demon.

Kasper Bjørke presents the first in a package of remixes from his Standing On Top Of Utopia (HFN 004CD/LP) full-length. "Alcatraz," featuring lyrics and vocals by Jacob Bellens, is a driving, piano-led story of ghosts and children, mysticism and funk. Jimpster turns in a detail-laden passage through twisting, turning, hi-end house and blissed-out effects. Kenton Slash Demon's trippy dub-house interpretation injects a slice of classic disco action with a healthy slab of '90s attitude. Also featuring a remix by Zombie Disco Squad.
