Third Attempt is Torje Fagertun Spilde, a 22 year old artist and DJ originally from Asker, just outside of Oslo. Now established in Tromsø, Norway, he is one of the young forces in the rising new generation of electronic producers from the birthplace of the Northern Disco Groove.
Third Attempt has a distinct and uplifting flavor, firmly planted in the smoother areas of deep house. His influences range from jazz to ambient, trip hop to classic house. Third Attempt’s Beatservice single, “Shoreline,” accumulated numerous accolades and tens of thousands of plays on various streaming platforms.
After three 2-track singles for Beatservice, it’s now time for a new four track EP from Third Attempt. The Reprise EP takes on a jazzier flavor than previous releases, illustrated by the funky guitar chords and sunshine vocals of the opening “Be Yourself.” The title track follows in spacier deep house territory, filled with layers of synths and melodic phrases ready to propel a dance floor. “Sol” wouldn't be out of place on an early Classic release with its chunky rhythms, Chicago-influenced keys, and squelchy effects. The EP gets back on a jazzy, groovier tip with the closing “Holdning” — this one will get the club moving at early doors, no doubt about it. Vibe on!
