Koss/Henriksson/Mullaert - The Mollan Sessions

*Everbody knows: good friends of real good friends have to be good people. Another proof of this unwriten sagacity is the story of Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson aka Minilogue and Kuniyuki Takahashi aka Koss.
*Once Kuniyuki’s friend Toshiya Kawasaki founded in Tokyo his label Mule Musiq only because he wanted to release Kuniyuki’s music  in order to spread the message that he is one of the most heartfelt contemporary electronic soul musicians of Japan. That was down in 2005 and since then Mule Musiq emerged, gave birth to many different partner labels, and built up a multicoloured artist family that also consists of the Swedish duo Minilogue. Especialy Minilogue member Sebastian Mullaert feels home in this warm-hearted clan and released all his solo works so far in the far east.
*The result of this sorcerous moment now sees the light of the day with a mostly slow heartfelt album called „ The Möllan sessions“ – a record that is made for people who like to fill the room between the notes with their own imagination. Because between the sounds of a Rhodes, a Roland TR-808, a Roland SH-101, a Moog Voyager, a Nord lead keyboard, drums, congas, laptops, and lot's of other music sources Minilogue and Koss left enough space for the listeners individual emotions.
*Their epic arrangements are pratically meditative and everything is enriched with fine textured stillness, introspection, and calm repose. In-between every now and then a sweet melody pops up and sometimes a cautius bassline emerges in a pool of free spirited ideas that never want to chum up. That is why their album is one to travel, one into which you get drawn more the more you listen. A symphony of machines and instruments that all just been used to play the beat of the soul of the one who make the music.
*A blend of contrasting textures  - organic and synthetic, icy and warm – that are at large hard pigeonhole in terms of a unique style. „The spirit was love without boundaries. No goals, just pure fun! I know that people want to know what style or what kind of music our album is but I try living my life without putting things into folders and comparing it with other projects or music styles. But I can describe the feelings we had when we where doing the project: compassion, love, joy, patience... lot's of possitive vibes without too many thoughts“ Marcus Henriksson reveals. A declaration to which is nothing more to add. Just one little advice: take your time when you dive into their arrangements because with patience you really will get lost.....!!!
