When Axel Willner goes to work, the results are usually mesmerising. Over the course of two fine albums, the Swedish producer has delivered bespoke, hypnotic grooves and textures. Both
From Here We Go Sublime
(2007) and last year’s Yesterday and Today are testament to his knowledge of every trick of the trade.
Listen to The More That I Do
from the recent album, for instance, and wow as he uses just a sliver of the Cocteau Twins’ Lorelei to heighten and accentuate the bliss. Since Willner first arrived on the scene with a brace of singles for Kompakt and a head-turning remix of Annie’s
Heartbeat,
he has shown a sure-footed ability to fire up more than just dulcet atmospheres and breathtaking sounds when he repackages old sounds and samples. Aside from Willner, the show will also feature percussionist Dan Enqvist and multi-instrumentalist Andreas Söderstrom.
