It’s been ten years since Marc Nygen Tan released an album as Colder, his icy postpunk dancerock pseudonym. (His second LP, 2005’s Heat, was his last.) He’s reactivated Colder and will release his third album, Many Colours, on November 6 via Bataille Records. That’s the cover art above and you can check out the tracklist below.

By the sound of the album’s first single “Turn Your Back,” it’s gotten even chillier in Colder land, with a pulsing bassline, percussion reduced to basically just the kick, and stark piano driving things along. Danceable, yes, but without breaking a sweat. Listen or watch the video below and there are some pretty cool remixes (by In Flagranti, Vito & Druzzi and others) to check out as well. You can also check out the mellower-still “Midnight Fever” featuring Owlle, plus a couple video from his first two albums, below.

Colder has also brought his skill set to the “3:21 AM Remix” of Kasper Bjørke‘s “Marbled Blood” that features spoken word vocals from Soho Rezanejad. The original, from Bjørke’s 2014 album After Forever, is dreamy and widescreen and Colder takes it more onto the dancefloor, in his own crystalline way. The remix premieres in this post and you can stream or download it below.

Colder offer up another take on “Marbled Blood” that’s part of Bjørke’s remix album After Forever Revisited that also features takes by Michael Mayer, Superpitcher, Matt Karmil, Hotel Lauer and more. You can stream the whole thing, and the original album, below. Kasper Bjørke will be in the States later this month, and he’ll be DJing at Brooklyn club Output’s Panther Room on September 25 with Sexy Lazer. Tickets are on sale now. The next night (9/26) Bjørke and Sexy Lazer will be DJing in Miami.

Lots of things to stream and watch, below…
