Danish artist pack – 3x 12" vinyl bundle

from Multiplex

This bundle contains three EPs on 12" vinyl only:
• The Grind by El Agua Es Profunda (MUPL 034)
• Bodycall EP by wilma (MUPL 028)
• Tivoli Trax vol. 3 by V/A (MUPL 027)

Productions by eight Danish artists: El Agua Es Profunda, Kasper Marott, wilma, C.K, Hüebsch Originators, Vassdrag, B From E, and Dennis Uprock.


THE GRIND by El Agua Es Profunda is a beautiful, ever evolving track. Building from a basic rhythm, layering and layering into an anthemic state. Fans of John Hopkins, Kaito, The Field, Gui Boratto will find a familiar vibe in The Grind, but this vivid and cinematic ten and a half minute production triggers memories of epic moments in any dancer.

The B-side holds a remix by Copenhagen‟s Kasper Marott. Highly regarded for his releases on Modeselektor 's Seilscheibenpfeiler, Courtesy's Kulør, and most recently his own Axces imprint. Marott has taken The Grind on a more intense trip, enhancing the percussive elements for the floor.

Behind the artist name El Agua Es Profunda we find the Danish music producer Jacob Funch. He has previously released four digital EPs as well as the abum “Circumnavigating Lueena“ through his own Gold Records. The productions vary in genre from melodic soundscapes and synth-pop to dance music. Besides his solo work he is a frequently used producer for several other artists on the global leftfield indie scene.


BODYCALL by the Copenhagen duo wilma (lower case w) aka. Jeppe Willumsen & Dan Madsen, formed in 2014 and soon got off to a hectic start. Despite their varied backgrounds the two quickly bonded around their common love of early dance music. The resulting output was picked up by then Panorama Bar resident Prosumer. He used their tune Fabio on his fabric 79 mix CD and released a four track EP with wilma on his new, but unfortunately short lived, Potion imprint. Fast forward a few years and the duo behind the Multiplex reboot have just gotten a distribution deal, when they receive a couple of tracks from wilma – It was love at first listen.

Jeppe and Dan have come up with some truly timeless tunes. First up is the title track "Bodycall", a beautiful vocal cut featuring soulful, New York and Chicago references and a rough, retro feel. It’s followed "S.o.b." which digs deeper carried by its more melancholic chords. There is a Larry Heard-ish quality to the feel of these tracks - That complicated simplicity you just lose yourself in...

The B-side track is a remix of S.o.b. by C.K of the Aarhus based label Regelbau (not to be confused with the cK alias of Cai Bojsen-Møller & Kong of Multiplex). His "8000 mix" is an atmospheric beauty for the early hours, reminiscent of mid-90’s Future Sound of London. It complements the EP and adds a fitting tribute to the place in time that spawned Multiplex.


TIVOLI TRAX started as a Multiplex series paying tribute to local artists connected to Kong's Mantra night club, while it was based in Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. The first 1996 EP was followed in '97 by Vol. 2 and finally by a 12 track CD compilation in '98. In 2018 we are bringing back this iconic tribute to amazing Copenhagen based producers with Tivoli Trax vol. 3!

To bridge the twenty years gap, the first track is an original Hüebsch Originators production from '98. This deep techno track was released on the Tivoli Trax CD, and we are delighted to finally be able to present it on wax. The duo also released the Evanouir EP on Multiplex in '97. Secondly we have the beautiful "Bodies" by Vassdrag, a Norwegian word for a river system and the Multiplex alias of a well-known Copenhagen producer, who's been releasing on a quintessential techno imprint since 2010.

B From E aka. Frej Levin, a rising star on the Danish scene and known for releases on Copenhagen Underground Posse and Tartelet Records, delivers classic, atmospheric, deep house in the form of "No Memory". The last track is "Nightwave" by Dennis Uprock, better known as dub-techno producer Resoe of Baum Records, Echocord and Pattern Repeat. A prolific producer of multiple genres. He has used his "Uprock" moniker when playing house music since the mid-90s.
