A1. Mirage A2. Skin B1. Spessartine B2. Mirage (Lakker Remix)
Short info:
For her Trolldans release, Skirt has chosen an arresting cover by John Bauer depicting a shining princess dressed all in white, seemingly revered by four trolls struck by her beauty. But as the title of the EP tells, it's a Mirage. When the music starts, you just know the trolls are done for. Because while there's certainly light in this EP, it's not a warm glow emanating from a sweet little princess. No, it's a ghostly shiver of light emanating from a dark and forgotten place where no light ought to be found at all. Skirt creates visions of thick fog rising from insidious marshes; a mourning veil caught in a dead tree in a deserted graveyard; a massive dust-covered church organ playing for itself in a long crumbled chapel. But there's a clear sense of pace and motion too: below the sweeping, eerie sounds there are beats of stuttering hearts and shaking bones triggering bodily movement. Lakker adds to this with their heavy, pulsating remix, and even brings some playfulness to the table before they too descends into complete darkness. This is a haunted record. A true Mirage.

A1. Ostinato 01 A2. Ostinato 02 B1. Ostinato 03 B2. Ostinato 04
Short info:
Albert van Abbe has truly gained momentum this year with his new self-titled label VANABBE, a successful Berghain live debut as well as releases on Shipwrec and now Trolldans. And you can tell! This Trolldans release is filled with confidence and lucidity. The term Ostinato refers to a continuously repeated musical pattern. It's usually used in reference to classical music, but is well suited here. This Ostinato, this stubbornness, gives the music a sense of pace and propulsion. Yet – as ever with Trolldans – there is a kind of melancholy present too. But it's a kind of melancholy that gives one strength rather than tears; a melancholy that makes your jaws clench in resolution. Look at John Bauer's ancient Mountain King on the cover. He has been dwelling there on the top of the mountain for so long that he himself has become part of it. His back is bent and his eyes are dim. But the air is changing; it's getting clearer and crisper and alluring melodic fragments are floating through it, reaching the King's overgrown ears. Suddenly for the first time for many decades he is overwhelmed by the impulse of standing up. The forest itself senses the King's intentions and starts pulsating with rhythms, urging him on. He grips the mountain side with his giant hands and raises his head, breathing deeply. It is time. This sense of determination and clarity is what Albert Van Abbe manages to convey with this Trolldans release. The Mountain King was moved by Ostinato. As should you. More

Tracklist 12": A1. 992 hpa B1. Ter B2. 992 hpa (Svreca Remix)
Short info:
Following the debuting "Walduft" EP by Recondite, Swedish boutique label "Trolldans" is finally ready to present the 002 release in their catalogue. On Moderskärlek, Claudio PRC, presents a magical dimension of dance music, featuring dense hypnotising rhythms and trance-like atmospheres.
Semantica label-boss Svreca has experimented with complex noisy textures on his remix of the a-title track "992 hpa", bringing the feeling of the northern winter to the listeners mind. Moods before genres. For us good music will always just be good music.

Tracklist 12": A1. Hermelin A2. Waldluft B1. Beiz B2. Hermelin (Skudge Tribal Remix)
Following his recent Roland TB-303 experiments for Absurd and his understated reworking of Scuba's "The Hope", Berlin's Recondite has put together the debut release on boutique-label "Trolldans", based in the city of Kontra-Musik. Melancholic and spellbounding sounds as always. Come's with a tribalish remix from the analogue techno act Skudge. Recondite's work stands on its own, feeling strangely divorced both from his previous output and especially from over two decades worth of acid house history.
