It’s new music Friday and out today is Swedish label boss Jeremy Olander‘s first collaboration in five years, Flashpoints EP with Fahlberg. Now available on all platforms, this thrilling three track collaborative EP marks Vivrant’s first release of 2025.
Flashpoints EP
This EP opens with the title track ‘Flashpoints’ setting the stage for the charming sounds of ‘Outrun’ and ‘For Your Mind’. ‘Flashpoints’ exudes classic Vivrant energy, featuring deep, emotive synth work with evolving layers and tension. Olander’s influence is evident in the refined structure. It is characterized by hypnotic melodies, subtly shifting progressions, and the signature cinematic buildup that teases and releases with precision. His passion for melodic storytelling shines through in this piece. You can sense Fahlberg’s grit in the driving percussion and slightly raw edge. His style often brings a darker, club focused intensity. You hear it in the punchy bassline and the tight, straightforward groove—adding urgency without overwhelming the overall space.
‘Outrun’ feels more introspective and spacious — a hallmark of Jeremy’s deeper side. The pads and atmosphere stretch wide, giving a sense of motion and escape. ‘Outrun’ leans into a more mechanical, driving rhythm — a place where Fahlberg excels. His signature often lies in the slightly more techno-leaning beats. You hear that with crisp hats, syncopated percussion, and a restless momentum that keeps the track alive throughout.
‘For Your Mind’ plays with the cerebral — deep layers, filtered vocal textures, and rhythmic intricacies. Jeremy’s influence is felt in how textured and fluid everything is. Fahlberg injects the track with pulse and punch — the kind that hits right in the middle of a peak time set. The low-end is tight and assertive, and he balances Jeremy’s more ethereal choices with a grounding foundation.
Influences of Jeremy & Fahlberg
Each artist brings their distinctive style, merging Fahlberg’s infectious grooves with Jeremy’s unforgettable melodies to create a bold and innovative musical landscape. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant 90s UK piano house, contemporary melodic house, and classic progressive styles, this project becomes a powerful fusion that reflects their diverse influences from every corner of the dance music world. The result is not just an EP, but an exhilarating journey that invites listeners into a fresh realm of sound.
With its innovative use of playful chopped-up vocals, uplifting trance-inspired extended breaks, and euphoric yet refined drops, each track on this EP stands as a compelling statement in its own right. This collection is not only cohesive but also showcases the brilliance of every individual piece. The Flashpoints EP is a groundbreaking project that exemplifies the duo’s relentless drive to elevate the electronic music genre, boldly defying trends and setting their own path.
