Henrik Lindstrand and Kasper Bjørke deliver a fresh jolt to the electronic scene with their collaborative EP Canopy on Lime Tree Beach Recordings. Picture this: two talents cross paths at a friend’s wedding, sparks fly in conversation, and before long, they’re locked in the studio blending worlds. Pianist and composer Henrik Lindstrand brings his intricate, emotive keys, while electronic producer Kasper Bjørke layers in his precise production touch. The outcome? A six-track EP that pulses with underground intimacy, perfect for house and techno selectors craving something deeper than the usual club fare.
Lime Tree Beach Recordings has carved a niche over the years, championing releases that merge thoughtful electronica with subtle grooves, earning a reputation among DJs for picks that reward repeated listens in dimly lit sets.
Canopy kicks off with Canadians, unfolding layers of open expanse that pull you right in, ideal for those late-night transitions where you want to shift the room’s energy without overwhelming it. Trees follows, injecting a gentle drive that builds momentum, the kind of track that house enthusiasts will loop endlessly to feel that organic pull. The title cut, Canopy, weaves melody and texture into a hypnotic flow, capturing the essence of two artists syncing up intuitively. Lantern adds a haunting edge with its dreamy choir elements, evoking a sense of hidden ritual that techno heads will dig for its shadowy allure. Feathers floats with delicate precision, a nod to disco’s lighter side reimagined for modern floors. Closing out is (Naked)Trees, stripping things back to reveal the raw core of their partnership, leaving you with that lingering pull to hit replay.
What stands out here is the unforced chemistry—Lindstrand’s piano work dances over Bjørke’s electronic foundations, creating tracks that feel alive and immediate. This isn’t polished pop electronica; it’s got that underground grit, the type that thrives in warehouse sessions or intimate beach raves, where DJs chase authenticity over trends. For fans deep in house, techno, and disco veins, Canopy offers six reasons to dive in, each track a testament to collaboration born from real connection. Lindstrand and Bjørke prove that chance encounters can yield gold, delivering an EP that demands space in your sets and crates.
