Ajabu!

Ajabu! is a Swedish record label that was established in 2005 in the vibrant city of Malmö. With a passion for music and a commitment to showcasing talented artists, Ajabu! has become a prominent name in the music industry.
Known for their diverse range of genres, Ajabu! has consistently delivered high-quality music that resonates with listeners worldwide. From *electronic* beats to *indie rock* anthems, their catalog offers something for every musical taste.
With an impressive roster of talented artists, Ajabu! continues to push boundaries and break new ground in the music scene. Their dedication to nurturing emerging talent and supporting established performers sets them apart as an influential force within the industry.

Following his critically acclaimed debut solo album Kkismettin, Antonis Antoniou, the driving force behind award winning bands Monsieur Doumani and Trio Tekke, has returned with another unconventional and skilfully produced solo album, expanding his musical language even further towards exhilarating and unmapped territories. With one foot in the East and the other in the West, with one ear in the past and the other in the future, Antonis Antoniou boldly dives deeper into his experimental and often eccentric practice, inventing new methodologies and developing new contexts, wherein various seemingly incompatible ingredients find fertile ground to intertwine. Carrying in his creative luggage his remarkable musical experience, knowledge and craftsmanship, he approaches music composition, arranging and production in a totally idiosyncratic way. Throisma is exactly the intoxicating outcome of this course. 

Throisma comprises nine pieces, which exist in a psychedelic/dubby sonic world with a strong Eastern Mediterranean aroma, and enriched with heavily-filtered tzouras (small bouzouki) lines, fuzzy bass riffs, dirty analogue synth tones and hypnotic floor tom grooves. A finely crafted rich and colourful soundscape, bearing the trademark identity of a high-spirited artist and sonic explorer, attempting to marry diverse musical worlds: Eastern qualities with Velvet Underground-ish moods, Anatolian melodic vibes with rocky-psychedelic textures, organic folky flavours with sharp contemporary electronics and musique concrète techniques. All this is delivered with an unparalleled flow, edge and elegance, clean of stereotypes and clichés.
