"So endearing and infectious..."

"A richly layered voyage, blending sounds in ways that tantalize the neurons in just the right way, shaking off the winter clouds and pulling the listener into a warm blanket of sincerity."

"En enormt trivsam och dynamisk ljudbild; bitvis sparsmakad och återhållen: bitvis pulserande och dramatisk."

Slowcraft is leaning into the new year with a confident, cross-genre excursion into the exuberant world of Dött ljus.
Stockholm producers Johan Kisro and Petter Lindhagen are making all the right moves with their debut Bottna. The duo clearly prize curiosity and spontaneity, yet somehow the irrepressible energy of their hybrid electronica finds itself subtly grounded in a tenderly ambient melancholy. It’s a finely wrought balance, instinctively judged, resulting in a remarkably nuanced collection that abandons all expectation and trespasses across genre boundaries, sparking the precise neural connections needed to lift us from our northern hemisphere gloom into a hopeful, heartfelt groove.
Bottna is presented digitally and in a limited cassette edition designed by James Murray and Simon Vince with bespoke artwork by Kajsa H. Bolve. As always every element of this release is carefully considered, assembled with utmost care and comes with the very warmest recommendation from Slowcraft to our loyal listeners.
