about

Det Gode Selskab continues their exploration of the senses in the sophomore offering from the young DJ collective turned label. The Eye is the ocular contribution, coming via the Oslo-based collective’s co-creator Tod Louie. The second physical release from the dynamic young label substantiates their dominance on Oslo’s DJ scene as it ripples through to the rest of the world’s DJ bags.

For the last 5 years, Det Gode Selskab has been an unstoppable force on the DJ circuit. A DJ collective, a weekly residency, a party series, a festival and now a label, Det Gode Selskab tick all the boxes. Their parties are legendary and at their weekly residency, they command the floor when they come together as a collective.

As one of the founders of the collective, Tod Louie has been a driving force behind the Det Gode Selskab on the prowess of skills in the booth and his ability to read his crowd. Whether playing the weekly Det Gode Selskab residency at Jaeger or playing for Oslo’s alternative queer crowd at Everysome, his keen ear, effervescent selections and instinctive control over the dance floor put him a cut above the rest on the Oslo DJ circuit.

The Eye is his second foray into the producer’s chair from the collaborative remix effort on DGS001 for A:G’s The Nose. Tod Louie takes the helm on DGS002 with a deep burning Tech track on the A-side. Bubbling synthetic textures, deep, rolling basslines and sharp stabs at wispy keys come together in a progressive cut channeled directly to the dance floor. A perfect track to take any club and DJ set into peak time, but with a very esoteric, at times quirky take on Techno, Tod Louie infuses a degree of fun in this very serious musical form.

Solaris and Mike Shannon offer two very different interpretations on the B-side. Det Gode Selskab co-founder Solaris channels all the energy of the track into the ether, where brooding pads weave their way through lysergic acid movements and a more demanding percussive workout from the original. Mike takes yet another different approach to the original and works from the buoyant bass line up where the track plays on the more amenable aspects of House.

Trough Tod Louie’s original deep scorcher, Mike’s upbeat sizzler, and Solaris’ brooding demagogue. The Eye gives us three different perspectives from the DJ booth and sets its sights clear on this upcoming summer season.
