Olof Dreijer, formerly known as one-half of The Knife, has shared a new track via Hessle Audio, titled ‘Rosa Rugosa’.
A club-focused cut, it marks the Swedish artist’s debut for the UK label run by Ben UFO, Pangaea and Pearson Sound. The link-up came about after Ben UFO included Dreijer’s 2009 track ‘Echoes From Mamori’ on an EP he curated in 2021 for the Melodies Record Club series. You can listen to ‘Rosa Rugosa’ just below.
"I’m very happy to be back making music again after some time doing other things," Dreijer said in a statement. "I’m surprised to see how much fun I’m having making my own music after a longer period of working on other people’s projects. I’ve been trying to make some colourful, energetic music with emotional melodies. I hope there is room for that out on the dance floors."
The new track follows on from the release earlier this month of Souvenir, a five-track collaborative project between Dreijer and US artist Mt. Sims.
Earlier this month, Hessle Audio revealed that it will release a new album from label co-founder Pangaea, titled Changing Channels, in September.
‘Rosa Rugosa’ is out now on Hessle Audio.
