Orlando Voorn -Samurai
Entering the final stage, no one less than Orlando Voorn spreads happiness all over. Orlando’s particular shuffle rhythm paired with alien reverbed synthesizer stabs form the basis of “Samurai”. But the outstanding feature is especially the noisy gritty bit-crushed synth hook line in connection with energetic and graceful vocal samples.

Roman Flügel’s acidic rework of What I Used To Play is a homage to the 80s and the early sound of electronic music, which creates nostalgic feelings and offers a greatly produced retro soundscape à la Kraftwerk.

(Bart Skils & Weska Reinterpretation)
A powerful reinterpretation that pays the warmest respects to the original, Bart Skils and Weska lend their considerable talent and vision to this sublime makeover.
The original "Spectrum", which Sven Väth and Matthias Hoffmann have written for legendary Harthouse thirty years ago, truly captures the emotion and magic that music can create, and despite the relentless remix groove of this special single-sided release, there is still lots of room for sentimentality.

Harald Björk
We need to tell you about 'Shiftings'. It is a beautiful new album by Harald Björk.
We knew it had been germinating but timing is everything you know. When Harald gave us this album it simply lit the office up. Cocoon Recordings were right to be patient. It blew us away.
Haralds early ideas circled around since 'The Sound Of The 17th Season' and then evolved into this brave music that belongs in the here and now, also representing the organic progression of the relationship between Harald and Cocoon Recordings. It is an intricate album about communication and soul and new mysteries. It is about sharing. And we want to share it with you. We hope it will embrace you as it did us and perhaps point some light to the end of this long murky tunnel. It is that good. We really hope you enjoy "Shiftings" by Harald Björk.
