For the past seven years Korn?l Kov?cs has been busy rocking dancefloors and boomboxes worldwide as one third of Stockholm’s Studio Barnhus alongside Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. The label and DJ trio is spearheading a new era of fearless Swedish off-centre dance music, straddling the line between the cute and the menacing. Anticipation for Kov?cs' debut album has been rocketing following stand out releases like 2014's wistful Szikra, last year’s mad party anthem Pantal?n on Glasgow's Numbers imprint and the late night groove of Space Jam on Smallville Records. On The Bells, Kov?cs pops open his trunk full of sounds nicked from the lost and found bins of nightclubs all over the world. From the distorted organ chords of BB to the stripped down trancehall beats of Josey’s Tune and Sz?v Utca and the title track's cinematic romanticism, it's all of the bells and all of the whistles - further positioning Korn?l Kov?cs as one of the most characteristic producers of modern house music. The record was completed in an intense two-week session with Kov?cs' great friend and great studio engineer Matt Karmil in the cold winter of 2016. Another close friend, artist Malin Gabriella Nordin, has created the album artwork together with her brother Jonas.
