Sprinkles Kasper Bjørke

Sprinkles sounds like an utopian postcard - sent from the past and with hopes for the future. Recorded and produced on his laptop, while spending extensive periods of time in a cabin by the beach in a remote part of Denmark, Kasper Bjørke draws on what currently feels like distant memories; experiences of energy and euphoria from club the countless DJ gigs around the world, during his career which spans over two decades. Rooted in a colorful sound - filled with light and warmth - the balearic vibes and dream house grooves merge with synth choirs, guitars, fretless and acid bass lines and intertwine playfully into a sonic stream of consciousness; a mirage of the past and what will be.

Visual artist Luca Bjørnsten's mesmerizing work "Sprinkles", picturing an empty, lush and colorful garden with a large, romantic fountain perfectly embodies the surreal scenario that we have all become much too familiar with. The 13 track instrumental album follows a string of singles this spring and summer and is as a breath of fresh air and a much needed, warm ray of sunshine.

Kasper Bjørke’s output has constantly evolved during his career. After the debut album In Gumbo (2007), he has continued to release albums and EPs, influenced by a wide range of genres including post-punk, krautrock, Italo disco, techno, house and electro; and more recently also neo classical and ambient. Kasper has remixed more than 50 artists - and as a DJ he has toured extensively and performed at some of the most legendary clubs and festivals around. Following on from The Fifty Eleven Project on Kompakt (2018) and Nothing Gold Can Stay (2019), the new album Sprinkles is Bjørke's eighth studio album.
