CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Plej are brothers Arvid & Erik Niklasson from Gothenburg on the west coast of Sweden. Arvid & Erik started Plej as a label in January 2001 releasing a 12" with Arvids' music on one side and Erik?s (Eerik) on the other. This was a very limited version, if you own one you have one percent of the edition! Although Plej started as a label for the brothers to release their material, they soon realized that they had more fun making music than they did trying to get people to buy it. So, the label name became the brand and more music was made. The Plej sound is characterised by a playful, soft, melodic and experimental approach to house music. Soft club orientated house opens up to experimental deep house that incorporates melodies. The brothers cite the likes of Herbert, Forcetracks and Isolee as inspiration, outlining the desire to create music that is interesting and unpredictable. In the live situation Arvid (synths) and Erik (Rhodes piano) are joined by vocalist Jonatan Bäckelie and Johan Brengesjö on trumpet. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWonderfully playful Mark Gellman | Santa Monica | 11/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "These 2 Swedish brothers join the growing ranks of artists and DJs who produce soulful electroorganic music that sounds every bit as human and uncontrived as the traditional variety. This album is beautiful and ranges from deep soulful house to R&B, with unique trademark splashes here and there (listen to the cute electronic gremlin voices at the end of "A Jabo Thought"). It's all melodic and non-abrasive. Buy it without a second thought!" Adult Lounge Disco trevor | Asheville, NC USA | 05/27/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Essential for all mature DJ's. Trust me. I spin at least 6 of these tracks on a regular basis--it never fails to turn heads and motivate hips. Beautiful and deep sometimes, social and smooth all the time. Track 2 hurts other producers feelings because it's so damn good. . . Buy now, Buy now, Buy now. Forget about how much it costs." Dear Plej, MAKE MORE MUSIC NOW!!!!!!!!!!! I implore you! Shamanie K. Peters | las vegas, nevada United States | 01/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's the very first cut.....Lay of the Land. You here it and say to yourself, "nice soft weaving synth, persistent head boppable beat and bass line." Then it gets flat for a second. At 1:35 seconds into this song, Plej opens up on you. Opens your eyes to great electronic music.
This is effortlessly deep, soulful, electronic music. And yet, the songs are as different from one another as can be. You have to distinguish this album from others in that Plej finds success with a broad brush. They lay down a solid variation on their sound. And it works wonders for your head. It's a truly magnificent effort. These guys are genre leading professionals. A note about the album itself is that Plej decided to throw a whole other disc in the setup full of remixes of cuts on the OG album. And that disc on its own is remarkable. Highly recommend both this and Clouds' effort. You can tell they come from the same side of the street. Both groups lay it down. Hope it helped and happy listening. Cheers." |
