Sommerfeldt has been cooking his fresh Scandi-sounds for over 10 years. He has landed on this label as a solo artist and with the likes of Sigmund Floyd while also releasing on labels including Prins Thomas' Full Pupp, Beatservice, and Paper Recordings. He has remixed artists such as Amp Fiddler and is a mainstay of the club scene in Oslo who always brings the party.

He opens up this EP with the superb "Tell Me What To Do" featuring Oslo's Toshybot, an artist with several aliases who is a member of collectives such as Legs 11. Their track has a warm, wavy bassline and balmy cosmic pads up top, while a muttered vocal adds sensuous words to the deep, steamy groove. It's an intimate atmosphere that also comes as a dub with more organic percussion and extra synth sparkle.

Sommerfeldt's solo cut "Horseriding on the Beach at Sunset" is then an excellent eight-minute excursion with subtle melodies rippling out into the sky as another deep but dynamic groove rolls below. Chord vamps build the tension and add to the sense of journey as this late-night charmer carries you away to the stars.
