Newborn record label Studio Barnhus is the love child of Axel Boman, Kornél Kovács and Petter Nordkvist, three fine young gentlemen who share a studio space in downtown Stockholm since 2009. All three feel at home in the stranger outskirts of electronic music but also share a passion for hedonistic dancefloor madness. Not long after setting up their studio, the boys started djing together, creating havoc in dodgy gin joints and blooming warehouses from Stockholm and Budapest to Galway and Tlacotalpan.
More often than not, the trio would add the latest productions from the Barnhus studio in their sets to joyful cheers and uncontrollable laughter – these crowd reactions being the initial motive for starting their own label.
In the long run, Studio Barnhus aims to become a high profile label dedicated to pimping timeless beauty to the masses. For the first couple of releases in 2010, a handful of the Barnhus trio’s own productions are lined up – further on the label will encompass a wide range of producers, emotions and bpms in its domain.
On the very first release from Studio Barnhus, “Good Children Make Bad Grown Ups” (BARN 001) you will find the following tracks:
Axel Boman – Modern Fluids
The opening number on BARN 001 could easily be described as traditional filter house jam, were it not for a myriad of spaced out audio fireworks coming and going throughout the track. Jungle noises, free jazz trumpets, p-funk riffs and gunshot drum fills… When Sigmund Freud spoke of the dangers of organic house music in the early 90's, tracks like these were surely what he was referring to! Axel, an experienced producer on a devastating roll at the moment, is signed to DJ Koze’s new label Pampa and is currently throwing out hot remixes everywhere - expect nothing but the best for his own label!
Pedrodollar – Ner i brunnen
On “Ner i brunnen”, Pedrodollar turns a Swedish 60’s pop song into a playful, catchy, euphoric bomb. Wonderfully silly dj tool or masterpiece of phase shifting editing techniques? That’s up to the listener to decide. What we know is that Kornél Kovács used “Ner i brunnen” as the opening track in his much appreciated set at the 2009 Sónar festival. Already a Stockholm club classic, this wicked little ditty will serve as a fun addition to any drunken daredevil dj’s peaktime set.
Kornél Kovács – Baby Step
This mishmash (or, if you will, hodgepodge) of swinging breakbeats, 90’s speed garage atmospherics, razor sharp 909 hi-hats and cheesy Dutch pop vocals is a fine example of a simple collage turning into something more than the sum of its parts. Already played at the 2010 Sónar festival and on Tim Sweeney’s Beats In Spaceshow, the thumping bassline of “Baby Step” is set to conquer a wide variety of dancefloors around the world.
Gino Bomino – For Sharon
Hailing from a countryside pizza farm in northern Italy, young Gino Bomino came in contact with the Barnhus crew on the sweaty dancefloor of legendary Bologna gay club Cassero. Currently serving time in a Turkish prison for copyright infringement, Gino sent the bouncy assfunk of “For Sharon” to Stockholm with a little help from a friendly prison guard. Party hats on, let’s go!
