VARIOUS ARTISTS

“The music Eskimo brings forth into the world all maintains a certain feeling, without being beholden to any rigid formula, and the label has approached the divide between electronic and indie music with a reckless abandon that suggests that there is no divide at all.” Thump magazine, November 2014. Familiar Eskimo faces on the collection include Hype Machine’s Ones To Watch Du Tonc, the partnership of Mighty Mouse producer and Matt Van Schie, who feature with their second single for Eskimo, ‘Animals’. Further regulars contributing include Horixon, Trulz & Robin, DC10 resident Mees Dierdorp and NTEIBINT, whose ‘Riptide’ was premiered on Rankin’s Hunger magazine. http://www.hungertv.com/feature/premiere-nteibint/ Eskimo opens the door to This Soft Machine, the Australian born talent who first appeared as a mix on Nicolas Jaar’s Other People imprint, as well as Berlin-based and Tel Aviv raised Moscoman, nomadic multi-instrumentalist from Trondheim Ary, and a vanguard of new electronic artists who take their influences from wider range of sources including rock, new wave and other more esoteric sources. Optimistic and diverse, ‘The Orange Collection’ is a window into the soul of the Eskimo label, which has stood the test of more than a decade’s worth of output. Eskimo stands for timelessness and quality. It has been a launching pad for artists such as Chromeo, Headman and Low Motion Disco, as well as it’s ringleaders Aeroplane, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, who all feature heavily on the back catalogue.

Also new for this collection are Marvin & Guy who also have music penned for John Talabot’s Hivern Discs and Kompakt’s sub-label Speicher; France's Anoraak, who has remixed Neon Indian and Metronomy and has made quite a name for himself in the synth-pop, italo and indie-dance genres; Majestique, a Dutch production duo with a shared passion for strange chords, running arpeggiators and dusty drum computers; and Oslo space cadet and all round disco viking Tarjei Nygård, familiar for work on Prins Thomas' Full Pupp imprint that set the fjords on fire. Eskimo Recordings got to know him during the 2014 edition of the NuMusic festival in Norway, dedicated to the advancement of Electronic music and Art. Ary made her first live appearance at last year’s NuMusic festival. Impressive.
