Eyes EP by Of Norway

Oslo-based duo Of Norway, comprised of Vegard Wolf Dyvik and Christian Steenstrup, have made a name for themselves through countless DJ and live gigs and a healthy discography on Connaisseur Recordings, Cuore Records, Rockets & Ponies, Troll Records and Darkroom Dubs. They recently contributed to the Prima Norsk 5 compilation with the track Normal Eyes, but they sent two tracks, both brilliant, so we decided to put them both out as a separate EP.

Dim Your Eyes is a dark twisted breakbeat track, with Burial-ish vocals. Normal Eyes is also dark, but with a more dancefloor friendly beat. A warehouse bass line reminiscent of early Warp records takes the lead, with fluttering arpeggios eager to follow chasing up and down scales.

The originals are followed by remixes from Syntaks Erik, Terje Saether, Karl Fraunhofer and Prins Oblonsky, taking the originals in various directions, from Syntax Erik's big room umph to Prins Oblonsky's moody take.
