Fahlberg Teams Up with Layer J for ‘Messing Around’ on Sven Records

Riding a wave of international acclaim following the release of his three-part “Rhythms For Sale” EP on Watergate at the beginning of October, Swedish producer Fahlberg continues his prolific run of form as he announces his brand new single “Messing Around” on Stockholm-based record label Sven Records. Teaming up with DJ, producer and fellow countryman, Layer J, “Messing Around” marks the inaugural collaboration between the two Scandinavian producers and also the debut release on Sven Records – the brand new label project from internationally renowned Swedish multi-talent agency Studio Sven.

“We’re thrilled to showcase the artists who really inspire us and connect them with the world. Our vision for Studio Sven has always been to create a full-service agency that encompasses music, events, design, and a record label – all under one roof!” – Thomas & Anders, Founders of Studio Sven

Out now, Fahlberg and Layer J’s inaugural collaboration delivers everything we’ve come to expect and more from the in-form producers, as they combine to deliver a spellbinding slice of vocal house that shimmers and pulsates with dark midnight disco energy across its eight-minute duration. An exquisite amalgamation of punchy drums, retro synths and an expertly manipulated male top-line, the unique vocal treatment forms the backbone of the cut as Fahlberg and Layer J continue their unending exploration of cosmic sonic landscapes to open the label’s tally in style.

Regularly lauded by artists such as Solomun, Keinemusik and Adriatique amongst others, Fahlberg’s productions are characterized by an intricate blend of deep basslines, refined grooves and hypnotizing sounds. With notable releases on some of the industry’s biggest labels over the course of his career – including Diynamic, Stil Vor Talent, Siamese, Abracadabra, MoBlack and Watergate amongst others – Falhberg’s raw passion and talent also extends to his notable live performances, where he can be found gracing the DJ booths of countless renowned venues across Europe. His sets are a true display of his passion for music and his ability to seamlessly blend his own tracks with the latest and most underground music acquired through years of crate digging. 

Establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with on Stockholm’s bubbling electronic music scene, Layer Jcomes with a finely tuned progressive house and techno affection. The mastermind behind the 2022-launched record label Layer J recordings – which has become a staple home for his steady stream of output – his sound is characterised by atmospheric melodies and dark, throbbing basslines; always delivering something of the unexpected.
