Borneo Records welcomes Swedish made, Berlin based DJ City to the family!
As a fairly fresh face to the European dance music scene, involved with renowned musical outlets like Cocktail d’Amore and Born Free, DJ City has been turning heads with his playful and energetic style.
For Borneo’s ninth release DJ City delivers two deep dance floor cuts, referencing and paying hommage to his childhood idols, craftily combining well known building blocks into future classics.
”Sierra Madre” is a warm and deep dive into the aesthetics of the late 90s electronic music scene, balancing between lush pads and low bit rates. Steadily it progresses as the loops unfold and evolve into an ambient landscape of clear peaks and valleys. Dreamy and suggestive without becoming too literal or camp, it invites its listener to let the mind wander during the course of the dance.
On the flip side, “5426261” is a more playful feature as its percussion and somewhat off tune melodies roll out. The texture is light and invites its listener to venture in thought to an imaginary Mediterranean location right before dawn. The enigmatic title is repeated in a sample towards the end, implicating it is a phone number. Who are you trying to reach?
Written & produced by J. Norling, 2016-2018, Örebro/Berlin. Artwork by Nicole Martens. Borneo Records Rotterdam 2020.

Fader rides in like a cowboy on a carp... Mystery man MW Parsons takes care of the A side with Altvornorge, a melodic somewhat melancholy journey. Followed by Kusanagi, a mean and quirky slow burner.
On the B side Gluten Vrij and Sushi Delight by party crew Marck bring a more straight forward, percussive and groove orientated approach to the table

Vigorous and electronic workout by Fader! Zoovox’ version turns the shavings into a more laidback organic exploration…

A psychedelic mixture of electronics and analog rawness infused with more than enough soul to keep it going on and on... What are the odds? Asan!! We met this funky cat from London while he was wandering around the city and needed directions to the party friends of ours thrown that night. Later on the dancefloor getting more acquainted with one another, Asan asked if it would be okay to send over some music he made. Sure... and wow!!!

“PRSM.SPLNTR” by the talented Sir Stephen is an up-tempo synth driven wave affair, taking the party on a spaced out trip. TIP! Fader’s remix strips this gem down to its bare essentials, leaving it in mellower vibes, captured on tape cassette. On the other side, or better said dark side, of this 12” Sir Stephen delivers “The Divide” and “Infinity Worship”, two more EBM like electro monsters. Bound to do some damage on the dance floor!
