Punching in with the anticipated new episode of his singular jaunts into electronic music’s wild blue yonder is Beatservice habitué Ulf Moen Denneche, alias Boblebad. Following up to his previous release — the fun and bouncy Vill Falafel— the Norwegian producer dishes out the Kalde Vibber EP. Its four cuts continue in the same vein of Boblebad’s playful disco: cosmopolitan, unruly, and definitely nutty by nature. With other releases for Paper, Eskimo, and Full Papp, as well as a full album due early next year, Boblebad’s on the quick rise.
“Paraplydrink” — named after the sort of drink that comes with a mini-umbrella — is an early taste of the Kalde Vibber EP (fully released on December 10th). As expected from Boblebad, the U-turns are pretty radical. Though it draws from a similar palette as his other work, “Paraplydrink" veers off onto more ambient-friendly Balearic territories of pre-trance electronica a la KLF. It even features a sunny electronic steel pan sequence to send the listener drifting far and wide into a Caribbean Eden of sorts. A sonic delight.
