Magnus International returns with a percussive, drum- and beat-heavy, tripped-out set of "tribal" rhythm tracks in a stunning early Danny Tenaglia tradition. Daniel "Blackbelt" Andersen adds some strings and extra soothing drama but the concept for both is clear -- New York Sound Factory early '90s. You wonder what Junior Vasquez would have played the two hours ahead of dropping the latest Stevie V? Try it out, with Cosmic Rhythm Session's "Cosmic Jam" on steady repeat.

A leopard can't change his spots and Magnus International earned his spots in the sequence hue of Oslo's disco scene. After an inconsistent hiatus from recording, the Norwegian DJ had donned the producer cap for his debut album Echo to Echo on Full Pupp (FP 012CD/LP, 2016). Now, Magnus's "Synths" are on again, like a breath of fresh air and sunlight, these four tracks roll on to the world from Oslo´s shores? and as his usually best Magnus is very strong on seemingly endless grooving chords and timing, sweet harmony-centric bliss and tight, on-the-point drum programming. Chmmr provides a remix.

Double LP version. Includes download code. A leopard can't change its spots and Magnus International earned his spots in the hue sequence of Oslo's disco scene. "Disco is the single thread that runs through all electronic dance music." After an inconsistent hiatus from recording, the Norwegian DJ finally dons the producer cap for his debut album. Echo to Echo is the artist's magnum opus, taking on epic proportions in its album-length narrative. Prins Thomas's Full Pupp family plays hosts to Magnus's infectious disco arrangements, as it has done since Magnus International and Danny "Blackbelt" Anderson first worked together as Kalle, Magnus & Daniel in the mid-2000s. Tracing a line from those early days through his first solo work (the 2006 Kosmetisk 12"), Echo to Echo sees the producer combining the foundation of his sound with influences including Warp's early catalog, transposing it into the singular voice that is Magnus International. "I wanted to go back to Techno from my Youth." Borrowing inspiration from the likes of LFO and Aphex Twin, Magnus spent two years in the studio refining a hybrid album in which disco is deeply ingrained, but which grows its own spots with the acid-infected synth work and inventive beat-arrangements that were the signature trademarks of those early pioneers. Titles like "Big Red" and "Echo to Echo" are clear nods to these demi-gods of music, which Magnus International makes his own in the context of a disco long-player. It's an album built on the foundation of Magnus's strengths as an experienced producer, innovator, and DJ. Forged in the cauldron of techno's rich history, with Magnus's distinct style playing host, Echo to Echo takes the listener on journey that transcends time. "If I can hop into my Delorean and punch in a destination, five years from now, I want my music to have the same effect." Magnus International didn't change his spots for his debut; he merely grew into them, and Echo to Echo sees them at their most impressive.

Magnus has helped lay the foundations for what we all know as nu-disco/space disco/cosmic disco/scando disco, etc. Max Magnus 1 is a varied and eccentric take on modern dance music, the Magnus way. "Gamlefar" has already been played in various guises by both Todd Terje and Prins Thomas to ecstatic response -- from Oslo, Paris, Ibiza to Japan. Additional production by Prins Thomas.

"Time for celebration! It's been a long time since Magnus International committed anything to vinyl (Kosmetisk/FP06) with the exception of his remix for YRD's Afterski. 'Undulat' has been revealed in plenty of different disguises at previous Full Pupp nights but as Magnus himself is too slow and lazy to wrap things up I gave it a good chopping here and there, voila! 'Mandass Morran Blus' is what it is, a beautiful piece of music... a taster of good things to come. On the b-side we introduce new kid on the block, Marius Circus. Friend and regular punter at our Full Pupp nights Marius fights for musician's rights as a lawyer in GRAMO(no, google it fool....), DJs around bars in Oslo at night while slowly honing his production skills." -- Thomas Oslo
