BARN 100EP
|
$20.50
PREORDER
RELEASE DATE: 10/4/2024
Axel Boman returns in defiantly good form with a brand-new original EP on his very own Studio Barnhus label, blessing this fast-paced world with some slow-moving music inspired by the Eterna Primavera mountains outside Medellin. Specifically, this record was created during months of isolation spent on an avocado farm, with the Swedish producer letting the outside world disappear bit by bit, until only clear shapes of unclear importance remained. Of course, this is all just an attempt to poetically describe a collection of tracks that sound exactly like the kind of disco business Axel has been meddling in for the last 15 years. Don't be fooled by the rocks that he got, he's still, he's still Axel from the block. Viva house music!

BARN 080LP
|
Repressed. Pitchfork: Best New Music. Nearly a decade after the release of his breakthrough debut album Family Vacation (2013), Axel Boman returns with astonishing force: two albums, titled LUZ and Quest for fire, will drop simultaneously and in one package. Containing nine songs each and featuring guests like Off The Meds frontman Kamohelo, Baba Stiltz, Bella Boo, Man Tear, Miljon, and saxophonist Kristian Harborg, the two albums are separate but corresponding works, communicating through music, design and words. Together with long time collaborators Robin Ekemark (design) and Erik Lavesson (words and art direction), Axel has spearheaded a project with plenty of layers available to those that dig deep. Erik writes: "For Axel's two albums, we wanted to build on the music to create a kind of expanded universe. If you just want to listen to the music, it's all there and you don't have to look any further. If you want to go deeper, you have these extra layers to delve into: album art, text, archive material. They feed back into the music and open up new perspectives, while the music opens up ways to enter the other material as well." Erik's text "Brandenburger Ulam" will accompany the album project's physical release, with both records arriving together in a limited triple vinyl package, allowing for the full experience of Robin's design. Includes download.

BARN 070EP
|
Axel Boman's new single "Eyes Of My Mind" is a big-room-unifying psychedelic house music anthem and a multidisciplinary, collaborative Gesamtkunstwerk all at once. As so often the case with Boman's home label, Studio Barnhus, the process leading up to this release happened organically, among friends. Axel's initial sketch (produced during sessions at Future Classic Studios in Los Angeles) was sent to his good friend and long-time Studio Barnhus associate Malin Gabriella Nordin, who found herself obsessed with the track's steady-fast rhythms, gently flowing melodies and mind-expanding message. The Stockholm-based visual artist put the song on loop, started drawing to the sounds and didn't quit until 455 individual drawings lay before her. These drawings have been animated to create the video for "Eyes Of Our Mind" and will be exhibited at Stockholm gallery Steinsland Berliner during April 2020.

MUSIQ 244LP
|
2019 is Mule Musiq's 15-year anniversary. To celebrate, the label are releasing twelve 12"s with their friends and Stefan Marx is making the collectable artwork. The last release of the series comes from Swedish house mafia man, Axel Boman. First track, "Chestnut Hearts" is a super emotional, no-beat, club banger that Axel played at his latest Boiler Room. "Slave To The Vibe" is slow-mo, cosmic tune. "Paid By The Rhythm" is Axel's signature floating house, while "Copacabana Dub" is epic Brazilian affair, a deep house anthem. "Don't Bug Me" is dubby rasta tune and "Konoba Boba" is a little bit reminiscent of the early Border Community sound.

HYPE 031EP
|
Re-mastered and re-pressed, Axel Boman's classic EP Black Magic Boman, originally released 2013. "Television People" is built around minimal percussion, a rubbery synth line that echoes the best of Matthew Johnson's productions, and a distant spoken-word vocal delivery. "Cubic Mouth" goes deeper into the melodies with a distorted mallet riff over some supernatural drums and FX. "Look What You've Done To Me" continues with the graceful house sounds, layering and filtering ethereal piano samples and searing synths over a sparse percussive workout. "Klinsmann" wraps up with more highly infectious melodies and soft kicks, bouncing claps and ear-worm bassline.

PAMPA 025EP
|
2023 repress. Axel Boman, Pampa's favorite Barnhus boy, returns to the fold after 2010's Holy Love (which contained the undeniable track of the year, "Purple Drank"). "1979" is a cool-toned and pensive take on classic downtempo deep house, surrounding its bare percussion with light touches and a soothing, pastoral feel. "Nokturn (Grand Finale)" is carnivalesque in the grandest sense, with a dominant percussion pattern and a looping background perpetually primed for takeoff as Latin rhythms preoccupy the shoulders and hips. A minimalist bass loop takes care of the low-end groove, and, together with glimpses of vintage disco sounds, creates another surefire hit.

BARN 018LP

Double LP version. Axel Boman broke through in 2010 with his Holy Love EP, released on DJ Koze's Pampa Records. The track "Purple Drank" became an instant classic in underground house music circles -- since then, Boman has toured extensively while releasing original productions and remixes on labels like DFA, Hypercolour, Kompakt, Permanent Vacation, and Ovum, as well as on Studio Barnhus, the label he runs together with Kornél Kovács and Petter Nordkvist. Family Vacation is Boman's debut album. "I decided to go through the vast collection of ideas and sketches I had on my computer, as a final project before I set that machine on fire and let it all go up in flames. Kind of like what Lee 'Scratch' Perry did with The Black Ark in Kingston in the '70s. A friend says the album sounds like 'weird Jamaican space disco,' so maybe it's a fitting reference," says Boman. Axel Boman's music has also been described as "raw and playful house music drenched in oceans of soul." He graduated with a Master's degree from the Valand School of Fine Arts in 2010 and currently lives in the calm and peaceful Stockholm suburb of Gröndal.

PAMPA 004EP
|
Hotshot house hunk Axel Boman delivers a stunning debut EP for Pampa. The title track, a collaboration with vocalist J Jonason, invites you to take part in a lazy afternoon cocktail party onboard an old sailing boat in Gothenburg's archipelago. Ten City are mixing up the White Russians and Giorgio Moroder's estranged Swedish grandson is peeling the shrimp. "Purple Drank" is a sleazy, sexy number that draws influences from Houston-style screw music, classic deep house and hypnotic techno.
