about

The Nose is refined and subtle, prognosticating the anterior with prudent designs on the superlative. It determines future tastes and emboldens the flavours of the contemporaneous, operating on a discreet and inconspicuous level with the other senses.

Oslo DJ collective Det Gode Selskab looks to the nose as they undergo the transformation from event series, festival and residency to label. DJ / producer and longstanding affiliate of Det Gode Selskab, A:G takes first watch on the first in a series of EPs to indulge the senses and set the DGS collective on a new trajectory.

A:G plays in the sensual dimensions of Tech-House on Nese (or Nose for the anglophiles), blending the metallic percussive textures, reminiscent of the rampant dance floors he calls home, with the refined extemporisations of a keyboard flitting somewhere between Jazz and Soul. Phasing in and out of an interminable repetitive percussive loop is a nasal synth line that establishes the root of the track for melodic percussive parts and deep, warm House keys to launch into the ether. A:G is in search of some exaltation to sophistication on Nese, something to propel the rudimentary to the erudite, as each phase builds on the next, foregoing formulaic arrangements.

Taking A:G’s original to the booth is Microman Dandy Jack and his sniffing orchestra on the Nose operator mix. Dandy Jack hangs on to a bare thread of the original, moving the bass line to deepest echelons of the frequency spectrum where primal urgency dwell. Sophistication succumbs to primordial urges as Dandy Jack sets his designs on the dance floor, leaving the door open for Karl Faunhofer, Solaris and Tod Louie to find that middle ground.

The Central characters around the DGS consortium tap into their intricate knowledge of the dance floor as weekly residents at Oslo club Jæger in a version of Nese, that trots at a less-reserved pace to the original and looks for function over form. They retain a little more than the original than Jack, but beef up the percussive sections with a hefty onslaught of 909 charm and leave Nese with nothing to sniff at.
