Andre Bratten - 8/10

Norway's Andre Bratten first came to our attention thanks to Tim Sweeney, who dropped the bass-quaking track 'Trommer Og Bass' early one Sunday morning at Fabric late last year. But his new album, a meditation on Norway's dark past, takes a more introspective approach that has as much in common with Röyksopp and early Aphex Twin as it does with Beats In Space. Royksopp collaborator Susanne Sundfor guests on the haunting, Angelo Badalementi-esque standout 'Cascade Of Events', while on songs such as 'Bivouac' and the glitchy, icy title track, Bratten's sound is somewhere in-between classic Trentemøller and BOC's campfire melodies. By your third listen, you'll be hooked.
