What's Orjan Nilsen's Opinion?

23:23 - May 9, 2011

by davehart

It's very easy just to tag the supremely talented Orjan Nilsen as a trance artists but when you take a deeper looking into his music you can pick out its packing more than just trance. He is also known as ‘ DJ Governor’ but in recent years it is under Orjan Nilsen where we have heard his best work. The single’s have come one after the other and with each new release comes a different blend of progressive, house and trance. You’ve only got to check out his tracks like ‘La Guitarra’ and ‘Prison Break’ from a few years ago to see the talent he’s got with production. Having the support of a big label like Armada certainly helps with Armin van Buuren a massive fan of his work.

After such a series of smash hit singles the next step for this Scandinavian is to wonder into artist album territory. With summer almost here the time has come and his debut artist album has been announced ‘In My Opinion’. It’s been an album he’s beed working hard on in the studio over the past few months with fifteen tracks in total including his epic singles ‘La Guitarra’, ‘Go Fast!’ and ‘So Long Radio’. You may think well, why have those on a debut album? But, since this is his debut it should define him by the tracks which set him on the road to where he is now, otherwise your going to have to wait five years down the line for a ‘Best Of’.

I’m sure like me you will have the singles anyway, but as this album looks like a bare essential piece of electronic it saves digging his old classics out to remind you of his work that got you hooked to start with. He had a few words to say about the album on Armada’s announcement earlier today, check that out below.

To infinity and back. The endless options of EDM have ever been the object of Ørjan Nilsen’s affection. Thrilled by diversity, he has spend months of time in the studio, trying to find the perfect blend of house, trance, progressive and everything else that tingles his open mind. The result, an amalgam of years of creativity, is Ørjan’s promising debut album, ‘In My Opinion’.

Indulged with music from an early age, he mastered the drums and keyboard at only 9 years old. At the age of 16, as he experienced his first crush on trance music and completely fell in love with rhythmic patterns and melodies, he got his first synthesizer. The Norwegian music lover, reigning from the cold, upper part of the country, soon learned about the magic of working on a pc and started experimenting with that extraordinary grey box. After some unofficial remixes and solo tracks, it was the release of ‘Red Woods’ in 2005 that turned out to be Ørjan’s breakthrough. Ever since, no dancefloor is safe to the sounds of the characteristic Norwegian. Summer-hit ‘La Guitarra’, hammered by the trance elite for months in a row, the rough ‘Moving Mojave’ and sensitive ‘Lovers Lane’, keeping up with the ever-throbbing heart of the club society, contagious ‘So Long Radio’, ‘Mjuzik’ and the strong and outstanding ‘Go Fast!’. All original and different, yet distinctively riding the Nilsen sound.

After months of hard work in the studio, Ørjan Nilsen proudly presents ‘In My Opinion’. Days of experimenting, blending and shaping now come together in an album that is, sounds and represents Ørjan. Ørjan:”I can’t describe it other than being me. The sound you’re hearing is me, and how I feel and think. It seems like I have so many things that need to get to the surface, and I’m showing that through my music.”

15 jewels of tracks tell the colorful story of musical talent, touching you on the inside with a palette of melody, beats, synths and a whole lot of feeling to glue it together. Whether you’re in the mood to party or simply feel like absorbing the album with the volume up at home, ‘In My Opinion’ will fit all sceneries. Free of parochialism and one-style-fits-all, but crossing boundaries and hitting the right spot at the right time, is what ‘In My Opinion’ is all about. Ørjan:”I just didn’t follow any kind of recipe. I’ve merged so many styles together, made so many new things and I hope it reflects both the past and future, as well as the present
