Releasing under his musical solo project ‘Ekkel’, the Norwegian DJ emerges this time fresh from prominent releases for Berlin-based label Mana Abundance and Seoul-based Junction Forest. Most notable for his role in Norway’s Ute rave collective, Bachs is amongst friends at the frontlines for progressing a unique northern trance aesthetic. Continuing to cement Oslo’s reputation as a city with a kick – one with a 90s retro twist – the collective’s Ute.Rec has been building an equally steady name for itself. With two sublabels and a strong discography added to the mix, the team’s foundation has laid the ground for trance dancefloors across the world to thrive.

‍

UTE012 stays true to the label’s ethic of creative organicity. Navigating from tribal breaks to psychedelic states, our pick and closing track ‘Feel the Brain Drain’ is the fitting, flourishing finish to a mesmerizing EP.
