宀 Invites Ekkel (UTE.Rec, Oslo) [All Night Long]

Ekkel is the co-founder of Norway’s 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. From the studio he
emits a modern take on Nordic electronic of the ‘90s that is as mental
as it is progressive, diving head first into breaks and percussive trips
as Ekkel. Together with Mikkel Rev and Oprofressionell he is Solar
Alliance, a live project that unfurls extended trance journeys recorded
and arranged in a matter of days. Consistently pushing mind melting
sounds through his involvement in groups like Ipeo and The Dosadi
Experiments and an ever evolving style in newer projects like Alvar
and H25, Ekkel sits firmly at the forefront of the underground. In the
booth Teo has developed a reputation as a marathon DJ, often with
Marius Bø as Accelerationsim, regularly playing for hours on end and
turning dance floors into states of mass euphoria. From an infamous
18 hour closing at Outsider Festival with Ute he is trusted for skilled,
on the spot selections.
