Jaakko Eino Kalevi - Dissolution Remixes '2020

Tracks list

Finland’s master voyager Jaakko Eino Kalevi eases out of lockdown with a
look back to a simpler time: late November 2019, to be precise, and the release
of his fine mini-album Dissolution.
In keeping with that record’s wayward spirit, Jaakko has now called on
friends and continental colleagues to remix some of its songs, resulting in the
Dissolution Remixes EP, due for digital release on July 31st. The five tracks
present take Jaakko’s music in tantalising new directions.
“It is always interesting to hear how other people interpret my
music,” says Jaakko. “I like to be surprised in a good way and these
remixes are very much on point and right up my alley.”
On the first remix to be shared, Latvian dream-pop titans Domenique Dumont
conjure a characteristically charming version of “The Search”, that
also includes a portion of Jaakko’s song “Uutiset”. Domenique
Dumont seldom venture out, so this mix should be cherished.
Elsewhere on the EP, Timo Kaukolampi, an icon of heavy Finnish electronics,
transforms “The Source of the Absolute Knowledge” into a psychedelic
widescreen meditation, further cementing the Kaukolampi-Kalevi bond.
Stockholm producer and Born Free label boss Samo DJ tackles the same track,
reworking it to a jacking, sinuous groove garnished with cybernetic swirls. With
his take on “I Am Looking Forward”, Francois Marry of Francois & the
Atlas Mountains, who has spent much of the past 12 months working closely with
Jaakko, fashions a hypnotic number that shimmers like satin.
And new duo Ultraflex, the Berlin-based pairing of Farao and Special K, wrap
things up with a blistering hi-NRG mix of ‘Dissolution’.
