The upcoming album from Swedish artist Varg, as a part of his Nordic Flora Series, will be released across Northern Electronics and Posh Isolation.

Nordic Flora Series Pt.3: Gore-Tex City is the third chapter in the series curated by Varg, this unique album includes collaborations with Yung Lean, Alessandro Cortini, Drew McDowell, Chloe Wise and several other artists crossing various genres to form an eclectic full length to be out on Northern Electronics on March 27th, 2017.

As co-owner of Northern Electronics together with Abdulla Rashim and a part of a collaborative pact with the Danish Posh Isolation, Varg has the opportunity to diffuse his unique voice by releasing under and performing as Body Sculptures, [comprised of Loke Rahbek of Croatian Amour, Puce Mary, Vit Fana and Erik Enocksson] as well as The Empire Line [together with Christian Stadsgaard].

Flora—it’s a system, and its existence is beholden to its innermost workings. It designates interaction, it describes life as process, and it collects and repurposes its most crucial mechanisms towards ends that we presume to understand. Take the circumstances of club cultures, purported underground cultures, whatever’s rising against—it, too, is a system, and its existence is likewise beholden to its determining parts.

The Nordic Flora Series sees Varg coursing a path as natural to his work to date as it is synthetic to whatever you want to measure it with. Spread across his own Northern Electronics label, which he jointly runs with Abdulla Rashim, as well as Copenhagen’s Posh Isolation—to name just two of the syndicated labels—the Nordic Flora Series is a constellation, a vast community of iridescent pieces that, taken as a whole, effect a torrential storm.

Programmed for despatch over the coming year in voluminous formats both conventional and novel, you’ll undoubtedly hear about it all, or at least once the transmission signals are deciphered. The first two episodes have made their gestures, and now the album Gore-Tex City, third in the Nordic Flora Series, can lacerate expectations.
