💫🌏👽🍃🌞 💫🌏👽🍃🌞 ED014: Ekkel - The Destination 💫🌏👽🍃🌞 💫🌏👽🍃🌞 We’re back and excited to welcome one of our favorite producers, @ekkel__ . After hosting him in NYC twice and crossing paths again in Australia, it felt natural to work together again. Teo makes trance that feels like hearing trance for the first time again.. pure ecstasy. These tracks capture that feeling perfectly. We love this record and hope you do too ❤️ Digital Pre Orders open now on our Bandcamp. Vinyl through @oneyewitness A1. Questions Of Mind Control A2. Home Or In A Dream (Miami Morning Mix) B1. So Quiet B2. Destination G Distributed by @oneyewitness Mastered by @manmademastering Art by @jek.media Words by @nevanjio —— Ekkel guides Earth Dog to The Destination, a four-pronged psychedelic clinic in the finest Nordic electronic tradition.   Co-founder of Norway’s Ute collective, celebrated Oslo-based producer and DJ Ekkel revels in prog naturalis. Previous releases as Alvar and Shadowmages, his duo with S.O.N.S., perfected this tripped-out sound with a heavy emphasis on melody. Following last year’s celebrated appearance at an Earth Dog rave in Brooklyn, he returns to grace the crew’s fourteenth release with The Destination. Opener Questions About Mindcontrol awakens the discordant synapses, an entanglement of melodies and rhythm with a certain progressive attitude. Home Or In A Dream (Miami Morning Mix) properly ascends with trance-like wonder and ecstatic lucidity, before So Quiet returns to dusk with a tek-no throb and acidic bite. Destination G concludes with a nocturnal shimmer, an unrelenting groove caught in its own hypnosis ‘til the finale.

4 magical weeks in Australia, Hong Kong And Seoul 🔮 Huge shoutout to @outsider_festival for bringing me out for the fifth year in a row ❤️ Thanks to @mihnclub @hertz.sound @club77sydney See you next year

Ekkel 為 UTE.Rec 的骨幹成員之一，以九十年代強勁 Progressive 節拍之旅由挪威叢林延伸至 Bassiani 和澳洲的野外派對。 @ekkel__ @ute.rec 於二零一七年創立的 UTE.Rec 以其迷幻 Trance 的極端取向引來一批獨特的追隨者，其副廠牌 Sinensis 和 Translusid 則以慢節奏和靜脈聲音作樂。 全晚將以 Trancy 樂章延續上年九月 Marius Bø 的航向。 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 All night trancy affair and a logical continuation of Marius Bø's offering last September - visiting from neighbouring woodlands, it's Ekkel @ekkel__ @ute.rec From the studio he emits a modern take on Nordic electronic of the ‘90s that is as mental as it is progressive, then diving head first into breaks and percussive trips as Ekkel. Ekkel is the co-founder of Norway’sl Ute crew that grew quickly from smoke filled mornings on the Norwegian forest floor to showcases at Bassiani and the bush parties of Australia. Founded in 2017, the Ute label boasts a cult-like following for its approach to psychedelic trance music as well as long form downtempo and chill out sounds presented on sub labels Sinensis and Translusid.

Best musical experience of my life... Going until 18:00 with long time music partner @marius___bo Third time closing this magical place but for sure the most special and giving. The Georgians know how to do it proper as always. ❤️🇬🇪

Thanks to everyone who supported this project. After too many delays and troubles the physical record is to be found in shops and online stores. It's sold out from distribution and Bandcamp but should still be easy to track down from other sites.
