Tomas Andersson gets down to business hard-style again. On "Upwardly Mobile," different synth lines bounce in competition with each other and now and then, a great elephant bellows and trumpets. "Ofullständiga Rättigheter" is hard techno and perfect for outdoor raves and after-hours. The track title is a Swedish play-on-words: "Fullständiga Rättigheter" (Full Rights) references lower-class restaurants that are allowed to sell beer, wine and liquor... but "Ofullständig" means the opposite and is an allusion to the new Swedish right wing government that wants to tighten restrictions.

Tomas Andersson is a quirky genius who turns the controller up and down and on and off. "Mot Matsalen!" squawks and shrills and buzzes all over the place -- a playful laptop-rocker that likes to mess around with sounds. "Dubbel Problematik" starts off in a pretty minimal way, but then voice samples get thrown into the digital mincer and it's a typical Andersson track once more. Tomas' musical humor and the fun he has producing is already well known. Now even LCD Soundsystem asked him for a remix for their new release. Not to mention Tomas' continuous live gigs at clubs all over the world.

Swedish label-owner (Average Rec.), re-mixer and DJ Tomas Andersson appeared on almost every "Best Of" list in 2005 due to his fantastic "Washing Up" (Tiga Remix). In 2006, he pushes beats that forge ahead and ahead and ahead. Canons of cheeping high notes and growling low notes safely flow to the harbor. The snare rocks with no mercy and finally dismisses the dancers into the morning with a last drum roll. Tomas Andersson confirms his reputation as a rocking dandy who is looking for the next ship that takes him to the dance floors of the world.

BPC 114EP
|
Swedish label-owner (Average Rec.), re-mixer and DJ Tomas Andersson is back on stage making clear how the wind blows -- right across the dance floor. Andersson polishes your ears -- asynchronous, minimal and technoid with the sounds from the zero hour. Techno made in Sweden is just that bit clearer and more obvious: let someone else do the experimenting. On side A: "Stoli Boli" fires away at the dance floor leaving nothing behind but a boiling inferno. "Hip Date" on the flip side turns yet a new page, as a good deal of electro joins the party where the little Jedi dance. If you are not completely swept off your feet after this date with Tomas Andersson, you must have cotton balls in your ears.

"Why bother compromising? Why make concessions to a half-baked track that incites you to almost uninspired dancing? That definitely is not the case with Tomas Andersson's fifth EP Washing Up, which makes a clean sweep with his energies. This track makes you happy. It wants nothing more than to drive it home -- yet it's always up to a few tricks. Full-on euphoria via uncompromising techno with a backward glance. It sounds retro as it remembers the golden era of acid with a misty-eyed smile -- but with today's knowledge in mind. This is how we have known Tomas Andersson so far: the label owner (Average Rec.), remixer (DJ Hell, Sylvie Marks & Hal9000, DJ Assault, Hakan Lidbo) and DJ is a live-rocker who knows how to get those wild feet to make some unruly moves at the first open-air of the year. Washing Up also has a little story to tell: through some twist of fate it landed on the playlist of BBC Radio 1's Soulwax DJs last winter. To this day, people have asked Bpitch Control almost every day about the composer demanding more information. How the track got onto BBC Radio 1 is still kind of a mystery though... Tiga, who has been a fan of Tomas Andersson from the start, wanted to remix the track right away, which he did, as you can hear. On side B he starts out disco-ish and playful, delineating the theme with other devices, before conjuring up a similar bass storm. One more thing: With Washing Up, Tomas captures Berlin today. Tomorrow, or rather in late summer, it'll be the whole world with his corresponding first album on BPitch Control. So make a note in your calendar."

"What do we know about Tomas Andersson? He is from Sweden and is a DJ / live-act there as well as in multiple places all over the world. The first BPitch release The Rock Acid BPC071 excited the quite famous Munich DJ Hell. So Tomas Andersson ended up remixing that guy's track called 'Keep on Waiting'. Now the Scandinavian is establishing himself with his second release for BPitch Control."

"Bpitch Control can add another flag to their global map with the import of the Swede Tomas Andersson from Stockholm. Coming from the realm of Andreas Tillander and working as label manager of Average Rec., Tomas aka Sven Andersson develops his own idea of progressive electronic music labelled under 'techno' and made in Sweden consequently."
