Since 2015, Lamour has presented the massive love bomb ‘Because We Love Music.’ A collection of music that shows the musical diversity of the label and collects artists associated with the label and community. During January, we deliver a new song every day, released on Spotify and for free price on Bandcamp. Ambient, techno, and all electronic stuff in between. We do this – because we love music!

Slim Vic – Fantasie der Sehnsucht
Fantasie der Sehnsucht is the fantasy of longing. Dreams about a peaceful, loving, and friendly world.
An instrumental journey that begins in the subconscious and ends in the awakened hope.
January 2nd
Nano Ona – The Great Unknown
The great unknown is a journey across the infinite sea of existence.
Throughout time, humans have wondered what happens next, what lies beyond this life.
In the song, we hear a sample from palliative care nurse Julie, who shares some of the most profound and awe-inspiring experiences from her work, encounters with people standing on the threshold between this world and the next. One of her patients once invited her into a paranormal experience, offering a glimpse of what it might be like out there, in the great unknown.
The Great Unknown is not meant to stir anxiety or fear in the listener — quite the opposite. The intention is to evoke a sense of hope and wonder toward the greatest mystery life has to offer.

Feuk – Feuk The Police
Hands up, you are under arrest!
A single from the upcoming concept album, where TV shows merge into dreams.
January 4th
umring – Jupiter
Behind the artist’s name hides a musician from Gävle with many years of experience in metal music. Growing up making tracker music on the c64 opened the door to synthesizers. Beyond genres lies a general fascination of sounds, textures, and a love for nature, paired with a diy spirit. Here those parts are explored with electronic instruments as the foundation. The track explores themes of the unknown, and of death and rebirth. Most sounds are played on a DSI pro-2 late at night

Hoy – Consequences
”Consequences” is a song revived from the past, originally outlined with old friend and Scapa Flow bandmate Johan Nygren. It’s a short story about dealing with your doubts and disappointments.

Catterfly – Oppression
With Oppression, Catterfly enters a cold, synth-driven soundscape where pulsing beats and a droning bass propel the track forward with relentless force. A solitary harmonica cuts through the darkness as a futuristic voice exposes an oppression that refuses to fade. The song paints a dystopian world where freedom is reduced to an illusion, and control is ever-present.

Plasmafuse – Solace

H-M O – Rauhaa!
H-M O is a self-made musician, poet, filmmaker and movement researcher from Finland who has found her way of creative expression through experimental music, dance and video poetry. She savors verbalizing actual events in an abstract way as well as describing the visceral effects of inner emotions – making invisible visible and visible indefinite.
”I am an artist who loves to surprise herself by combining elements that, when brought together, create something completely unexpected. I call it ‘a divine coincidence’ when two or more seemingly separate things complement each other in a way that they form a whole new entity larger and more complex than its parts (usually I recognize this happening by having chills up and down my spine).”
”Because I started making music from a place of childlike curiosity and a desire to play, I think my sound is quite free and expressive in essence. I also strive for honesty when it comes to how I feel when creating music which I hope translates into tunes and lyrics. I also use field recordings in most of my songs and improvise in my singing which I believe create quite an organic vibe.”

LEHNBERG – Omgivelsen
Your environment shapes you more than you often realize. It’s not just the physical space around you—it’s the energy, the people, the habits that echo in your daily life. When you spend time around calm, driven, or creative people, their rhythm begins to tune your own. When your space is cluttered or heavy, your mind starts to mirror it.
The environment you choose either supports your growth or drains it. It can pull you closer to who you want to become—or quietly keep you stuck where you are. That’s why being intentional about your surroundings matters. Not just decorating your room or changing your playlist, but curating the atmosphere of your life.
Protect your energy like it’s something sacred—because it is. Everything around you leaves an imprint. Choose what stays close.

Nordic Music Central
“I first encountered (David) LEHNBERG nine years ago this summer and never cease to be amazed at the volume and breadth of his musical output with a selection of collaborations in bands like dÁrc (with Ida Long if I remember correctly); The Deer Tracks (with Elin Lindfors/Skeppstedt, Anna-Karin Berglund and others – reunion required urgently there please!); Léiah; Ariel Kill Him (which sounds like an order barked by an evil villain in a Bond film); Alderhomens Furistika, Ikaros and KAMARA.” Read full post at: https://www.nordicmusiccentral.com/lehnberg-sweden-omgivelsen-single-possible-future-album-track/

Miosys – Special Interest
Where will the creative flow take you? Playing around with breaks, different energies and having a lil moment with a nice rhodes-like sound, this song came to be in an inspirational moment after the summer festival season.

Arvid Tuba & Shaperwave – What´s Up
Arvid Tuba (Markus Arvidsson) and Shaperwave (Owe Emfestav) have a collaboration where they send different song ideas to each other, which they then create together finished songs. It is mostly Tuba who sings and Shaperwave does a lot of the production in Ableton.
This song also contains a small sample from an interview with the late comedian and actor Robin Williams, who deals with the subject of the song. The songs have a slightly deeper meaning than what might first appear, the song “What’s up” is about friendship, and caring. Life is a roller coaster and they try to convey that here. Friendship is important in tough times.

Árstraumur – DFD21 Transmission
Árstraumur’s DFD21 Transmission draws on fragments from an intercepted number station broadcast from the cold war, referencing a time when messages were transmitted without recipients and meaning was deliberately obscured. The piece exists as a trace rather than a statement, circling ideas of secrecy, distance, and information detached from explanation. What remains is the presence of a signal whose purpose has already disappeared.

Fredrik Laufke – Nästa morgon (Stockholm-Årsta Kombiterminal)
”Almost every weekday I pass the Stockholm-Årsta Kombiterminal at Årstaberg, just south of Stockholm, and my thoughts come to life. A life that is now set to music. Independent works that are themselves, limited neither in time nor space. A place that has no ordinary beauty.
A place where trains, trucks, goods, people and thoughts meet and mix.
Constructed and built in southern Stockholm by Fredrik Laufke”
January 16th
AKB – Väderöarna
Väderöarna is an instrumental ambient piece shaped by distance and stillness. The layers of sound move like a remote cluster of rocks far out at sea, where the horizon feels endless and time seems non-existent.
Once home to a lighthouse, now a quiet outpost for wind, pressure, and passing fronts, Väderöarna has long been a place of observation rather than presence. A voice in the shipping forecast. A name spoken, then carried away.
The music lingers in that space — between exposure and calm, between solitude and beauty. Sparse and patient, weathered by silence, it drifts like light across cold water. Everything awaits. Keep your eye out for the beacon.

Alpha Mound & Sven Fredrik – Coarse Velvet
Alpha Mound is the creative outlet for Joakim Westlunds solo music. For nearly a decade now music has been released under this header with quite some range in styles but almost always leaning towards more relaxed sounds.
Percussionist Sven Fredrik made his solo debut in October 2021 with imaginative instrumental music in the borderland between electronica and psychavant garde. With drums as the main instrument, inspiration is taken from the local stage’s flourishing electronic sphere, nature and space. Sound worlds are painted with large brushes and small details.
