Norwegian duo Ost & Kjex are definitely long-time players on the scene. Hailing from cozy and quiet Oslo, this ‘hat-wearing’ band has never solely stuck to any of the existing genres of the electronic palette, swaying and ideally balancing between underground electronic music and Indie pop music.
Marking the list of the worldwide respected artists co-working for collaborations with Ost & Kjex, which include Diynamic’s honcho Solomun, Jamie Jones, HOSH, alongside three masterpiece albums, the tracks of which have been our the most intimate life soundtracks during the 2000s and 2010s, we can’t be happier than now to release this gorgeous EP on Eleatics.
The main title ‘Kaputt’ is a jewel. Tied with it’s extended and colorful melodies it brings a very lyric mood, which is only multiplied with the tender, pleasant and distinctive vocals.
Dutch producer Karmon makes the original breathing in his way: creating and adding so much background and barely heard, but working sounds and layers, which do help for this version to sound and to be called a ‘hit’ one. Brilliant appearance.
Italian duo Moonwalk is harmonizing ‘Kaputt’ and let the original to be implied with their vision: effective, punching and clearly working one. ‘No9’ is throwing us to another pole of Ost & Kjex: experimental and contrasted. Crunchy percussions and dark synthesizing sounds leave a solid impact on the sterling package.
You can now listen to the full premiere of Karmon’s new remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
