Gothenburg-based producer and multi-instrumentalist TVÅ RÖDA is set to release his debut EP "1820 BUSTANI" this January, marking an exciting fusion of vintage soul, jazz, and hip-hop sensibilities. The four-track instrumental collection draws inspiration from field recordings captured during the artist's travels in Tanzania, woven together with meticulous studio craftsmanship at his own Audiofabriken studio.

The EP's distinctive sound emerges from TVÅ RÖDA's unique production approach, processing chord progressions through a Tascam 244 tape machine to create raw, textured loops that form the foundation of each track. From the groove-laden synth work of lead single "STONE TOWN" to the dreamy, guitar-driven landscapes of "MARANGU," the EP showcases the producer's ability to balance detailed sound design with organic musicality.

"1820 BUSTANI" represents a fresh voice in the instrumental beats scene, offering listeners a carefully crafted journey that bridges the gap between classic studio techniques and contemporary production. Each track reveals TVÅ RÖDA's diverse musical background, creating an EP that's both immediately engaging and richly rewarding on repeated listens.
