RELEASE DATE: 12/13/2024
Following a four-year hiatus from solo releases, the British musician Matt Karmil returns with the soft-focus gentle beauty and subtly stealthy beats of new LP, No Going Back. With inspired moments of creation happening incrementally, the album came together amidst a busy mixing/remixing/mastering/co-production schedule. Artists who've enlisted his multiple skills includes Bicep, Underworld, Mall Grab, Jayda G, DJ Koze, Neneh Cherry, Sofia Kourtesis, DJ Fett Burger, Matias Aguayo, and Carmen Villain. Feeling the benefits of this new approach, No Going Back is the strongest expression of Matt's artistic vision to date, honing the spectrum of styles for which he's renowned, all smudged together by a warm, gauzy haze. The microhouse anthem "SFP" is followed by the broken tech science of "No Going Back," the spectral dub techno spookiness of "Old Haunts" and the sublime misty shimmer of "The Last Time." Further switching things up is the oddball dancefloor experimentalism of "Still Something There," the washed-out electroid balm of "Things Really Happen," and the epic dark ambient closer "15 mins."

BARN 105EP
|
Two of the most sensitive and sweet big room bangers to ever fill a floor, here's "Stay Here" and "Writer," the results of a recent machine jam between heavyweights of emotional dance music, Fort Romeau and Gold Panda. "Stay Here" strikes first with slowly simmering synthesizers intertwining with slinky guitars and delicate vocal samples, while B-side "Writer" shows up to the party loaded with restrained euphoria, steady beats paving the path for the fragile acoustic elements of its glorious, beatless ending. All of this spiked with just the right amount of acid to keep things constantly entrancing! The record comes wrapped up in designer Eliot Axelsson's blurry shapes and vivid colors, arriving on vinyl and in digital form through Studio Barnhus.

Club music reduced to its essential elements, those elements then pushed to their limits! Dangerously malfunctioning DJ tools! The Feeling of Power! All that and much more on this striking new record from the one and only Barnt, the great reductional absurdist finally appearing on Studio Barnhus, providing concrete proof of the secret, decade-long love-affair between artist and label, after a bunch of Barnt b2b Boman DJ sets over the years, Kornél Kovács' legendary "disco edit" of classic Barnt track "Chappell", endless "Studio Barnthus" jokes, etc. "Aqua Breeze" immediately makes its mark as an essential part of Barnt's relatively small, absolutely profound catalog.

This record is 20 years in the making. It features two songs by one Makode Linde, legendary visual artist and musician, dear friend of (and frequent cover designer for) Studio Barnhus, the wonderfully weird dance label from Stockholm, the city Makode once called home, before moving to Berlin around the same time work started on these two songs. On "Never Getting Over Me", Makode sings an age-old song of lost love and persistent passion over a zany, sun-soaked riddim, while "Professional Help" is a piece of bossa nova perfection, its protagonist lamenting his old flame's refusal of therapy over a graceful, flute-driven instrumental. Exquisite songwriting and glowing lo-fi charm will have these propel straight to your heart, taking up residency in that sacred place reserved for the sweetest pop songs only.

MLiR is one of those rare creative partnerships where personalities and talents perfectly match, an exquisite balance of similarity and polarity leading to ingenuity. In the case of MLiR, this dynamic has resulted in the form of consistently vibrant takes on current, past and future global dance music, an artistic expression fueled by equal parts tireless record digging and masterful studio wizardry. Their two previous EPs on Studio Barnhus count among the label's most played and loved, and the forthcoming debut album Pulpo Fiction, released on the Stockholm label, takes it to the next level with a staggering track list of 16 new recordings featuring vocal talent as diverse as Kenyan rapper Nah Eeto, American poet Oliver Grimball and Swedish soul singer Cosima Olu. The music is as wild a ride as ever with MLiR at the controls -- ranging from the nostalgic to the futuristic, the deep to the poptastic -- with a firm base in the kind high-powered, light-footed dancefloor material the duo is so beloved for. Also features Arnau Obiols, Kamohelo, Janne Tavi, and Kamohelo.

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!

Veteran producer Blende debuts on Studio Barnhus, the Athens-based Swede delivering three cuts full of force and rich in detail, perfectly straddling that line between weirdo pop and freaky dance that the Stockholm label loves to explore. Vocal contributions from Belgian rock experimentalist Mickael Karkousse and Los Angeles-based singer-DJ sensation Smiles Davis complete the package, along with a trippy and menacing cover by graphic wizard Stefan Fält. An essential Studio Barnhus dance record! Johan Blende is a Swedish music producer, song writer and DJ. For the biggest part of this side of the millennium he's been weaving together modern dance music elements with retro sounds of the '70s and '80s.

A very special autumnal presentation from FaltyDL and Studio Barnhus, in the form of a perfect little slab of 12" vinyl, exhibiting the love for the classic house sound that burns within the hearts of the prolific New York producer as well as the Swedish dance music powerhouse. In particular, "Our House Is Barnhus" honors and updates the deeper side of the French touch -- think Pépé Bradock and early St. Germain -- fully displaying the state-of-the-art production skills and emotional depth always present in Drew Lustman's music. Known for his shapeshifting sound, FaltyDL has been releasing explorative electronic music for over a decade, switching his sound up intuitively across six albums, remixes for The xx and Mount Kimbie, executive production credits for Mykki Blanco, and a multitude of singles and EPs, including two previous Studio Barnhus editions in 2021 and 2019.

DreamySpaceyBlue is a new Bella Boo album, written and produced early 2023 when dark times demanded love, healing, and forgiveness. Cozed-up, self-therapeutic winter-spring studio sessions resulted in Bella's most virtuoso work yet -- a collection of dazzling, emotive recordings full of bright notes, deep vibrations and that signature "Boo mood." The album marks a distinctive step forward in Bella's sound: An amalgamation of the etheric sounds on her 2019 debut album Once Upon A Passion (BARN 067LP, 2023) and the ruff and rugged dance tracks on her recent Looney Talks EP (BARN 086EP, 2023). DreamySpaceyBlue features appearances by a number of Bella's closest confidants in life and music. The album artwork, designed by good friend Lowe Steiner, portrays her daughter Bozi, who in her turn shot Bella's last album cover -- a fitting full-circle arrangement for an album rooted in collaboration, intimacy and love.

Something never heard before from man of the moment Nikki Nair (or anyone else, for that matter): Whimsical glitch pop-blues with Nikki singing full vocals for the first time on record -- lamenting the 9-to-5 struggle, yearning for summer and getting fucked up on the beach. The idiosyncratic, strangely addictive original comes with a b*nging remix from Stockholm avant-techno ledge Peder Mannerfelt going full chaotic evil mode, warping Nikki's vocals into a menacing call to arms for the modern hedonist. Nikki Nair's latest single arrives on Stockholm label Studio Barnhus.

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.

Your Planet Is Next is the nom de guerre of one Arvid Wretman -- multidisciplinary artist, live performer, and noise maker from Stockholm, Sweden. Since his 2014 debut cassette under the YPIN alias, through two floor-optimized solo EPs for Studio Barnhus, this self-proclaimed Mr. Music has terrorized with the most gloriously disturbed electronic funk, all while cultivating his puzzling YPIN persona: part failed pop-star, part extraterrestrial threat. On his first full-length release for Studio Barnhus, emotions range from acidic romance to pure paranoia. Rave, screw, electro, and chill vibes are all combined on an album that plays like an exhilarating journey through the mind of a mad genius.

Spirit High is their debut album, arriving after the band's previous Studio Barnhus appearances with 2020's heartfelt ballad "Älska mig" as well as a single release of this album's title track in summer 2021. On Spirit High, multi-instrumentalist Andberg together with album co-producer Axel Boman weave a shimmering lo-fi tapestry that frontman Jonason vigorously tears apart using simple iconic phrases delivered with a unique singing voice -- naïvely desperate, delicately forceful. No posing, just transparency! No nuances, just the pure expression of Själen!

Lisa Milberg and Jon Bergström started their band Miljon over a pitcher of margarita in Mexico City and have since kept busy writing gorgeous little pop-songs in makeshift studios in and around their hometown of Stockholm, Sweden -- mostly in their bedrooms and various cabins in various woods surrounding the city, never staying too far from the pine trees. Having assembled a collection of 13 pieces of proper flaskpost-disko, these demos were passed on to Studio Barnhus' in-house mix master Matt Karmil, who worked his studio magic on the recordings, turning them into a seductively warm and spacious debut album. "Until then, our only expenditures for the album were wine bottles and taxis," says the band. This isn't the first time Miljon has teamed up with Studio Barnhus, the ever-explorative Stockholm dance label. The band collaborated with Barnhus co-founder Axel Boman on the wistful piano-house ballad "Forgot About You" in 2018 ("a summer anthem ... a marvel of simplicity" --Pitchfork) and the label's core personnel are all regulars at Arranging Things, the design store ("Stockholm's coolest" --Vogue) that Lisa runs with another friend. Going further back, Miljon isn't the first musical project of neither Lisa nor Jon's -- the former enjoyed her fair share of '00s indie rock success as drummer and eventually lead singer of The Concretes, while Jon has earned a reputation as the hardest working man in several Swedish music scenes, bringing energy and expertise to punk stages around the country as well as Stockholm's electronic underground. With Miljon, the two friends make sure to keep it short and sweet, happily celebrating imperfections. "We believe in 'first thought, best thought' and try to work on the songs as little as possible, instead trusting a good melody and a nice vibe, not overthinking it. We dare you to find a bridge on this album!" With Don't They Know, the duo presents not only 13 beautiful songs (perfect for shower-humming, living room shuffling and warm summer night boombox-blasting alike) but also an album that turns into something grander than the sum of its parts. "We made it because it's the kind of album we've been wanting to hear ourselves. It's all quite song-centric these days and it feels rare to find a whole album to step into and stay inside, you know? We hear great songs all the time, but we wanted an album that was its own little universe, with its own mayor, own happy hour, its own yard sales and extramarital affairs."

Having shone his light over the damp canals of Gothenburg for at least a decade, Paradise City Jams is the first album proper from Johannes Brander and his Skogar project, as well as his first release on Stockholm's Studio Barnhus label. This highly anticipated record is the crown jewel of all those strangely glimmering shards scattered via the barely existent Native Parts imprint over the last ten years, as well as numerous live performances around town. Though rooted in the mid-00s neo cassette underground, this debut album bares little resemblance to the hypnagogic era, the mostly guitar-driven tracks evoking a longing for something that has never actually existed, in contrast to yer standard nostalgic exercises. A Malmsteeninan approach to the riff is soaked in a peculiar strain of melancholia, accompanied by mesmerizing synths and bad-ass percussion. As a visual artist, Brander works with returning images of feverish jungle scenes, often incorporating Vodou mysticism and tribal settings. These images are always present in the mysterious musical world of Skogar, painting pictures of a parallel universe far away from those Gothenburg canals. Well worth the wait! Recorded in Gothenburg, Brännö and Hawaii between 2017 and 2020. Mastered for vinyl by Viktor Ottosson.

Off The Meds is a Swedish-South African crew based in Stockholm, consisting of producers Adrian Lux, Carli Löf, and Måns Glaeser with vocalist Kamohelo Khoaripe. The band first appeared on Studio Barnhus with the Ethio-jazz sampling hip-house gem "Currency Low", one of the standouts on the Stockholm label's 2018 compilation Studio Barnhus Volym 1 (BARNVOL 001CD/LP, 2018). This was followed by 2019's rave-y smash single "Belter", which came paired with a much-lauded remix by London top selector Joy Orbison. Their self-titled debut album arrives on Studio Barnhus in late 2020. First album single "Karlaplan" was recently played by Four Tet on Benji B's show on BBC Radio 1, while second single "Wena" got included in hotly tipped UK garage reformist Conducta's recent Resident Advisor podcast.

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.
