Krister Linder: "In 2009 I sold my Stockholm apartment to be able to cross the Atlantic and subject myself to a whole new existence - in a land and city where I had no past merits or advantage whatsoever. Inspired, clueless and armed only with the foolish trust of a poet I rented an apartment overlooking Lower East Side Manhattan / New York. I was consumed and driven by an absurd dream: To let go of everything, begin from nothing, fully give in to the mystery and sometime return home with an album. And today I'm excited and grateful to be able to share "Across The Never with all of You". Now, my music may not be for everyone, but this is something I have come to fully accept and embrace over the years. And so my wish is not to convince or convert anyone into a fan or buyer…
Buddha Zen Chillout is compiled and mixed by Digital Lama, who blends a fusion of distinctive sounds: ambient, world, acoustic, dub, vocal, and downtempo breakbeat, that quiets the mind, heals the body and awakens the soul through harmonic and tranquil sounds inspired by lands of the Far East. I Awake, Solar Fields, Cell, Asura, H.U.V.A. Network, Aes Dana and many more.
This new release marks 30 years since the formation of one of the most enigmatic & aurally captivating bands to grace the dark rock/prog genre, Mnemosynean contains an extensive collection of all of Katatonia’s rarities and B-sides, including tracks from the band’s numerous EPs, limited special edition bonuses, cover songs, as well as a series of collaborative remixes.
Stockholm based ambient downtempo producer Thomas Huttenlocher aka I Awake follows up his digital EP release Birth with a full length album The Core. Built as a journey of audio neural beauty through organic microcosms, electronic vortexes, deep, tribal beats and vast soundscapes, the album takes us on a pilgrimage of sounds, with scents of parallel lives, glimpses of the future and overlapping, coexisting dimensions. A superfine blend of psychedelic spurs, groovy bass lines and catchy melodies composed with the collaboration of Krister Linder, Fredrik Lundberg, Tara Devi and Planet Boelex.
