about

As humans living on the planet today, we have become so removed from our original, natural habitat—the forest—that we forget our wild roots, our primal, animal origins. Music is one of the things that can bring us back to that place, that can put us in contact with a felt world of instinct, immediacy, and presence: a world where language and the problem-solving mind are not needed, where the music keeps your mind and body in the present moment, and the point of dancing becomes the dance of our inner wildness and animality itself.

Hans Berg’s Sounds of the Forest Forgotten affirms that music can bring us to a state of mind and body that can help us feel what we’ve forgotten from the forest. The overlaying project of the album is to conjure musical and conceptual resonances between mysticism and nature, summoning the incredible depth and force of nature that we usually miss, especially living in contemporary urban cities. Sounds of the Forest Forgotten channels the creativity, playfulness, and freedom of a life both before and beyond ours through the sounds of analog and digital synthesizers, a modular system, drum machines, and computers. Recorded between Hans’s studios in Berlin and on the Swedish countryside, the album similarly shuttles between contemplative and ecstatic, between delicate and powerful, mixing sublime psychedelic techno compositions like “Emerald Sea” with acidic dance-floor bangers like “Storm” and “Milk Thistle,” all nestled between contemplative and textural ambient compositions like “Butterfly” and “Glow Worm.”

Berg is known for his enthralling productions and energetic live-sets that capture dance floors with his particular brand of hypnotic techno, replete with angular lines, affecting melodies, pulsating basslines, and big drums. He also produces atmospheric scores and ambient soundscapes to accompany the video art and installations of long-term collaborator and celebrated artist Nathalie Djurberg. Berg’s live sets have found a home in nightclubs around the world, with recent gigs in Berlin, Stockholm, New York, Tokyo, and Melbourne, to name a few. In addition to 2MR, he has released his solo work on record labels including Ian Pooley’s imprint Montage, Klasse Recordings, and The Vinyl Factory. His ongoing collaboration with fellow Swede Johanna Knutsson – as Knutsson/Berg – has led them to start the label UFO Station Recordings, on which they release their own material. The duo also has released on labels such as Idle Hands, Default Position, Kann, and Random Island.

about

Hans Berg Stockholm, Sweden

Hypnotically balancing between techno and house, the musical language of Hans Berg is distinct: playing with hyper-modern synthetic sounds, created from both hardware and software, Hans very much encourages himself (and his machines) to go off the beaten track. ... more

James Bernard confuses time. These suite of tracks play tricks with you, everytime you listen to 'em. Some times fast, sometimes slow, sometimes scary, sometimes mellow. All I can say, is that's its always beautiful no matter what time of the day you play. So nice to feel the 90's so close again. Polly Jean Neon Queen
