New Copy

Genre: House

1. Bjorn Torske - Host (DJ Sotofett Stoydubb)
2. DJ Sotofett - Version (feat Jenz Wohlrab)

The latest missive from the productive Sex Tags Mania crew brings together Norway's past and present. The 12" is headed up by DJ Sotofett's 12-minute dub of "Host", a previously unheard cut from Norwegian scene founder Bjorn Torske

.
It boasts wonky but fluid synth bass, sharp disco guitar notes, swirling effects, a deliciously loose and off-kilter rhythm, and more space echo and tape delay than you can shake a stick at. Sotofett enlists the help of pianist Jenz Wohlrab on the flip, layering constantly-evolving motifs over the kind of bongo-riffic percussion track that sits somewhere between indigenous tribal sounds, and spaced-out, Sun Ra style jazz. It's a little reminiscent of some of his collaborations wth Gilb'r, which is no bad thing.
