A warm welcome to the latest Jazzland recording adventure ...
gen;lon
the abbreviated, punctuated, and yes, rather splendid Swedish electronica duo Rikard Gensollen & Jonas Lonna ...
Like all good electronica stories begin, the duo met for the first time when they were 16 years old in a club - where Jonas had his first residency as a DJ.
Since then Jonas has become one of Sweden’s most acclaimed DJs,
known for his tasteful mix of leftfield sounds, broken beats, techno
& deep house. He has played around the globe in clubs such as: Blå/Oslo, Roxy Club/Istanbul, Blue Note/Tokyo, Brancaleone/Rome, just to get the picture clear. He was also one of the founders/residents of the world
New album from the swedish electronica duo. Already supported by Laurent Garnier who has play listed 2 tracks from the album on his PPB radio show.Their Jazzland debut promises panoramic electronica, music to take the enchanted listener on a journey ...
In 1999, Jonas booked the Jazzland honcho Bugge Wesseltoft and his New Conception Of Jazz to come and play at the Fusion Club. Whilst on stage, Bugge asked him to join in the live “jam” ... and since that day, Jonas has been a regular band member of The New Conception of Jazz, programming beats and sounds for the two classic Jazzland albums Moving and Film Ing.
Since 2000 Rikard has been Jonas´s beaty sidekick, performing
percussion for Jonas´s celebrated DJ sets. He too eventually joined the
NCOJ band as percussionist and has also programmed beats for Bugge´s Film Ing album.
In-between worldwide tours with Bugge Wesseltoft, they’ve also been
busy back home working their own material in their gen;lon studio in
Stockholm. Their Jazzland debut promises panoramic electronica, music
to take the enchanted listener on a journey into the unique sound and
vibe of gen;lon. Not suprisingly, Bugge Wesseltoft appears on keys on one of the tracks!
Already getting big support from DJs such as Laurent Garnier,
gen;lon are currently putting together a massive club tour for 2006 as
well as producing new material and remixes.
They have also made two remixes for the Nu-Jazz collective
Flowriders (Holland) that will be released on their remix album through
4lux Recordings in October.
Born in the heart of Jazzland at an early age, the Jazzlander found words within music and music within words. Raised by his parents in a small village, they eventually would lower him in a big city. It was there that his unique gifts were recognised, and he was imprisoned within the confines of the Jazzland website. It is here that he unleashes his views of music, and calls on those with the ability to hear to listen.
