Morgendugg is the name of a new project from Norwegian beat sorcerer Dennis Jr., presenting both a continuation and a fresh start to his expressive dance music explorations. After a string of releases for the likes of Jazid Collective, Beatservice, and his own Akustikk Recordings, Morgendugg (translates as ‘morning dew’) signals a new beginning for the talented producer. The album Kanskje i Morgen continues Dennis Jr.’s experiments in midtempo rhythmology, pulsing bass concoctions, and melodic synth metallurgy. These cuts come forged in fire.
The title cut (AKA “Maybe Tomorrow”) throws down the gauntlet with its pulsing bass bounce under twinkly synth-work and dream-like spoken phrases. The following cuts, “Antilope” and “Ethopia”, take on strange, exotic flavors, deploying inventive production flourishes and catchy sound bursts. On “Feilsitert (Misquoted),” Morgendugg gives it his all through broken beats, distant sax riffs, and a mischievous vocal. Other cuts find influence from African jazz and worldly flavors, twisted and filtered through Morgendugg’s squelchy funk atomizer. Kanskje i Morgen features eleven cuts in total — and these rock hard in various tempos, with explicit vibe emissions that’ll inspire manic feet buzz. Morgendugg is on the case.

misterG (Green Arrow Radio Show) – “Cut from fire. Heaters.”
DJ T-Bird (Los Chicos Altos) – “Love the musicality of the tracks. Laid back, but not musical wallpaper by any means. More like exposed brick - background that is fascinating if examined.”
