The
ultimate stress assassination...
"Within the
office of eye and ear" is the first down tempo release from Spiral Trax.
Stress Assassin
is a chilled electronic dub project from the 27-year-old Henrik Jonsson.
Henrik has a broad artistic background: He has been studying in an art
academy for three years, played in various bands and simultaneously participated
in many exhibitions. Additionally, he has performed on open stages for
expressionistic art, combining music and visual arts with parties. He
also happens to be a dedicated graffiti painter in his spare time.
During his
three years at the art academy, he received a scholarship and could afford
to buy his first sampler. At the age of thirteen, while having his very
first spliff, he was introduced to Jamaican dub. Ever since, he has been
devoted to old tape delays and is a major collector of 70's dub records.
We can hear that this has played a huge impact on his music making, as
well as being influenced by old school Hip Hop and artists like Brian
Eno, The Who and Tangerine Dream.
Lately he
has been tied up in the studio with a reggae vocalist from Brooklyn. He
is also the right hand of Atmos when he is performing live around the
world. Together, they are forming 'Echölab', a project that is supposed
to merge the trancey sounds of Atmos with the dubby sounds of Stress Assassin.
