BOOKA SHADE

Berlin-based producer and live act Jan Blomqvist shares a similar path and journey into electronic music as Booka Shade – fusing his early band experiences and performances within punk, Britpop and rock with electronic experimentation influenced by the sounds and sonics of artists such as Stephan Bodzin, James Holden and Trentemøller.

“For almost two years Jan and us have been talking about a collaboration, but due to release schedules and touring commitments on both sides, it never seemed to work out. Finally 2020 gave us the opportunity to finally exchange musical ideas, to combine our trademark bass lines with Jan's emotional voice. We hope you love it too.” -- Arno & Walter

London-based DJ and producer John Monkman, label regular Chi Thanh and rising pair Inta have each contributed interpretations of our 'Polar Lights' production featuring Joplyn's emotive vocal talent.

"We first got in contact with Joplyn when she asked us for a remix for one of her songs and found ourselves quite impressed with the talent of this young singer and producer from Berlin. We are very happy about the vibe she adds to Polar Lights." – Walter & Arno
