Tangerine Clouds

Oslo-based producer, drummer, and artist Bård Berg returns with his new EP Linje 18 – an electronic release taking its title from one of the city’s tram lines. Each track is named after a stop along Line 18, turning everyday transit into a cohesive sonic journey through his hometown.

Fusing elements of his jazz background with house rhythms, the project continues Berg’s signature approach of drawing on local geography and identity, building on the critically acclaimed Oslo Beats series where Oslo locations also played a central role.

The first single – “Olaf Ryes Plass”/ Welhavens gate? captures the pulse of the early morning rush, transforming the noise of crowds and constant motion into inspiration. Driven by a groovy, infectious bassline and striking synth work, the track feels like moving through the city itself, gliding past lights and shifting urban landscapes.

The second single – “Ola Og”/Sensgata?, channels the spirit of youth with buzzing energy, restless excitement, and a sense of possibility. Warm horn and synth arrangements gliding over beats pulsating with a feeling of joy and a readiness to live.

“Januar Beat Erlend Sax”/Homansbyen? masterfully blends the expressive tone of the lead saxophone with subtle electronic processing. The result is a reflective, intimate piece – like a quiet moment of warmth against the stillness of a cold January day.
