The Norwegian electronica artists known
as Raffolade have released their latest official single, “The
Giraffe.” The track has been proudly published on the Killerbörd
Productions independent record label without the direction of the
corporate music industry. An upbeat, sparkling, and kaleidoscopic
shower of rhythmic notes, “The Giraffe” is the latest reason for
fans of electronic music to take note of these creative composers
from Norway.
Raffolade cite as main artistic
influences Jedi Mind Tricks, Placebo, and Yello. Their own style
hearkens to the original early '90s sound that launched more
electronic music subgenres than most audiophiles remember today,
including house, acid house, Euro house, deep house, jungle, ambient,
trance, and many, many more. It's a sound filled with clever, amusing
samples, rainlike patters of colorful synth tones, and a big, bouncy
beat to get feet off the floor.
“We make silly music,” says
Raffolade's personal info section at their official website.
Certainly, humor pervades the entire
repertoire, of which “The Giraffe” is only the most recent. Other
notable and popular official releases available online include
“Banshee,” “Deja Vu,” and two versions of “The Wizard.”
Asked to describe the overall theme of
“The Giraffe,” Raffolade replies only, “The giraffe is the most
beautiful animal in the world!” Asked to talk about how they got
into electronica music production to begin with, Raffolade's nameless
mastermind remains a man of few words.
“I've been trying to get the voices
out of my head!” he says.
The current official bio of Raffolade
describes their inception and general character as, “From deep
within the Norwegian Fjords comes a new electronica project. With
friends from around the globe Raffolade has created some weird and
disturbing tunes now to be unleashed on the unsuspecting public.”
“The Giraffe” by Raffolade from
Killerbörd Productions is available online worldwide now. Fans of
'90s Euro-electronica should definitely get in early. Very early.
