Rocket Recordings

Djinn project was founded by Vintras in 1999, as an act of detachment from ones social life and the pathetic rules which it can invite. Sounds reflecting into the vision of their creation of a world inhabited by his own assassins. The only solution to an already too widespread illness. Silence and loneliness, the only sources of survival. Suicide, the emergency door for few people. The first steps of [a=Djinn] are named "Ritual". They take shape in a 5 tracks demo tape. Between 2001-2002 Vintras is noticed by [a=Marco Corbelli] alias [a=Atrax Morgue], who ultimately funded his first chapter entitled, "[r=714417]", under his label ([l=Slaughter Productions]). In 2002 Vintras self-produces a 3" mini cd called "Multiple Personality Distorted" containing 3 tracks. In 2003 he gives to birth the second chapter "[r=649277]" still under [l=Slaughter Productions]. In 2004 the third chapter turned out to be prophetic with the title "[r=714112]" closing the collaboration with Slaughter. For the first time it includes a cover of a project that Vintras always appreciated.

Not unlike the supernatural deities from which they take their name, Djinn - the Swedish collective featuring members of Hills and Goat in their ranks - have proven themselves a potent and mysterious force. Their first release for Rocket Recordings was a portrait of open-minded explorers foraying into the realms of free and cosmic jazz, but never overly reverential or in thrall to their own influences. Following the ‘Avant De Servir’ tape which was released on Swedish label Zeon Light last year, Transmission is a still more intrepid step into new terrain for Djinn - the mantric rhythms are hypnotic here, the freeform extrapolations hit new peaks of vivid abandon, and the moments of calm are blissfully meditative. Yet their sound palette extends into refreshing collisions of intent and metaphysical intensity that echo across the psychic landscapes of Sunburned Hand Of The Man-style freak-folk, as well as the polylingual fusion of jazz, European and Asian music that Don Cherry essayed on 1969’s Eternal Rhythm and 1973’s Organic Music Society. Amidst these intoxicating and richly eclectic soundworlds, the band are just as comfortable invoking Popol Vuh (as on the mellotronabetted title track) Art Ensemble Of Chicago and the lineage of Swedish underground music that found epiphanies in the radical folk-psych of Arbete Och Fritid whilst also sounding - crucially - like no-one but themselves. For all the far-reaching explorations of altered states by which Djinn set out their stall, this collection of mystical headspaces - in all its fearless and feral glory - is proof positive that the band’s journey has only just begun. This transmission is set to ring out across dimensions unknown. The album, which is limited to 400 copies on colour vinyl comes with a download code that also contains as a bonus their 2020 ‘Avant De Servir EP’ that was originally released on cassette via Swedish label Zeon Light.
