The entire album was recorded in Reykjavík, Iceland though the man himself hails from the Faroe Islands. Rasmussen found his love for music by getting together with friends and just make what they could. Using primitive software that kept crashing. But in that Rasmussen found exactly what he would be willing to cope with just to be able to carry out his passion for music-making. 

 

Starting on a slower tempo and growing out from there, the album takes you on a tour of house genres. From tender emotional tracks to bass-heavy dance floor foot-stompers to get you moving – all while maintaining Janus Rasmussen’s experimental edge. Taking inspiration from acts like Radiohead, Aphex Twin and Leonard Cohen, he says of the process:

 

 

From this album, Rasmussen has already released two singles, namely ‘Green Wine’ and ‘Lilla’, which gave us a great idea about the artist’s direction with this album. As for the tracks that follow, ‘March’ and ‘April’ follow in same deep house vein as ‘Lilla’. While ‘14’ and onwards presents a switch in vibe and urges movement. It’s masterfully diverse and each track conjures up images in one’s mind of what the music might look like if it were to take physical shape. 

 

Growing up, music was an important creative outlet for Rasmussen. He and his friends would regularly come together to play music in their free time, using extremely primitive software on computers that were constantly crashing. Even though this process would seem frustrating, Janus Rasmussen explains that “it’s amazing how stubborn you are as a kid, nothing will stop you from doing what you love.”

 

Currently based in Reykjavík, Iceland, Rasmussen has been hard at work creating the new album. Drawing influence from the work of acts such as Radiohead, Aphex Twin and Leonard Cohen, he says of the process
