Biography of Luomo
LUOMO is a pseudonym for one of scandinavian's leading artists in electronic music: Vladislav Delay. His debut album on FORCE TRACKS, is amazing and a fascinating surprise in the house music scene. It is a document of modern house sound, but truly independent. Whispered gasps and phrases repeat themselves over long stretches of minimal grooves and warm dubby effects, building intensity through subtle repetition. While disco house functioned by taking and manipulating samples of pop and disco, minimal house is generated out of itself. LUOMO is doing the same like minimal house, using the rhythms, loops and sounds in a techno or dub like manner. But LUOMO is bringing back funkyness, soul and the coqueterie of disco into minimal house. Based on endless small but recognizing variations the tracks impress through rhythmical subtlety and cleverness, the speed of disco, the electronic flair and the dub touch. LUOMO shows a new virtuosity in house music, gives minimal house a specific pop appeal especially when he uses female vocals.
Almost two and a half years after his first album, 'Vocalcity' (Force Tracks), Vladislav Delay returns with Luomo to explore new dimensions in upfront vocal house. 'The Present Lover' is a self-confessed outsider's perspective on the club scene, seamlessly blending pop and club elements to deliver a cunningly original take on pop, house and R&B, replete with meticulous arrangements and seductive vocals.
Driven by an ever-present inner restlessness, the 26-year-old recently relocated to Berlin. He remains on the move, constantly performing at countless clubs and festivals around the world. A man of many guises, the tireless producer and remixer deconstructs techno as Uusitalo, explores experimental sound design as Vladislav Delay, and has plans to blunt hip hop with an as yet unnamed future project.
Always hungry for new experiences, this time around Delay delves headfirst into what he describes as a fruitful love/hate relationship with his surroundings. Deceivingly light and upbeat upon first listen, flirting with dub and soul as much as minimal house influences, consequent listens reveal 'The Present Lover' as an album with hidden depth. Seductively smooth and extremely well produced, improvisation remains integral. With his uncanny talent for making the innermost audible, Delay invites us to peel away the layers of producer's sheen, to uncover well-concealed errors, carefully placed breaks and stutters that bore their way into the listener's ears.
Following the extremely successful advance vinyl release of 'Diskonize Me/Body Speaking', which last year reached no. 1 on the Deutsch club charts, the album capitalizes on the energy generated on 'Vocalcity' by mixing dub-worthy frequencies, ethereal whispers, and Delay's singular take on epic, infectious grooves. This album harkens back to the early days of disco without ever wavering in its responsibility to the future of deep house.
Johanna Niemela and Watkinson, vocalists on the first Luomo album, reprise their roles behind the mic, while the unmistakable voices of Antye Greie-Fuchs (Laub) and Danish songwriting genius Raz O'Hara deliver an as yet unforeseen edge to the production. 'The Present Lover' also contains a completely reworked version of 'Tessio', which Mathias Schaffhäuser (Ware Records) called a 'hymn for eternity'. The track is available now as a single, with devastatingly funky new mixes by Moonbootica and Akufen.
Quietly intense yet intensely physical, this is distilled sensuality with a twist, intelligent music that works above and below the belt. From its icy exterior to its red-hot core, from its eclectic minimalism to its disturbing funkiness, 'The Present Lover' waltzes unabashedly into your stereo, messes with the settings, and leaves you wondering if you'll have to wait another two and half years for the next Luomo album.
On stage the ostensibly shy Finn turns into an extrovert performer because 'music still feels the best way to express myself, mirror myself and lose myself in. I'd love to walk around Tokyo, listening to Jazz on a personal stereo. The contrast between the hectic visual onslaught and complex rhythm patterns would be amazingly inspirational.'

Comment: luomo is a fascinating mix of the deep undulating rhythms of house, with disturbing malfunctioning electronics introjected. What happens when the groove breaksdown?
What of the hopes, joys and desires that we encounter on dancefloor when these are disturbed?

Comment: This set was a bit weird when i first downloaded it a while back...but i kept listening and before i knew it i was hooked. I had it in my player for a LONG time. Its unlike a lot of music you will ever find and therefore its a treasure. I eventually did put it to rest but i still take a listen from time to time. Its a relaxing mix yet still glitchy and definitely provocative to the ears. I love this guy and I love his unique style.
