Track of the Day: Finnebassen - Rotundo

Finnebassen and his latest release with NM2 records is the focus of our track of the day. Relaunched last year NM2 is a sub label of one of our favorites Noir Music. Kicking things off a few months ago with releases from the boss Noir, the legendary Oliver Giacomotto & Kiko, and most recently Finnebassen's 'Rotundo'. With his wide ranging production you can get a variety of styles of music from this young Norwegian based artist. Considering that 'Rotunda' is being released on German based NM2 it should be of no surprise this is some quality ass techno. Making use of a sharp staccato bass lines and grandiose pads the track drives hard. Taking on a a style of what I like to call "Running Man Techno". For some reason I cant help but envision those video montage shots with a person running from something sinister. Then something wonderful happens. Das Glockenspiel! Finnebassen had already scored a solid upper V with this track and then decided to put up a hat trick for good measure with his Glockenspiel skills. We only get a preview of the full song here which is now available from NM2 Music so go grab it if you enjoyed it as much as we did.As mentioned above this young Norwegian born producer is someone who should constantly be on your radar if you are into good music, especially house and techno. Like many of us who were trying to find our musical selves when we were younger Finnebassen finally found his house music calling around 2008. Ready to leave his genre hopping days behind him he embarked on a journey that has brought him to where he is today which is producing world class music and getting an opportunity to travel the world sharing it. 2012 was, if you will, the coming out year for the Oslo native seeing releases with Noir which reached the #1 spot on beatport's deep house charts and UK label Electronique which hit #3 on the Nu Disco Charts. It excites me when I think about how young Finnebassen is too, if he continues on his current trajectory we will have many more years of Finnebassen to come! Enjoy and check out some of his other works with in today's post.This week also saw us welcome the incredibly talented Whitney Fierce into our studios for LAMP mix #106. It is up on our channel for you to enjoy and strongly recommended if you need a little culture, soul and some beats to get you through the day.
