Annie posted an image of herself and Tore Andreas “Erot” Kroknes on her instagram account over the weekend along with a heartfelt message about her personal relationship with him. Tore tragically passed away in 2001 due to heart complications aged a mere 23 years old. Annie’s post got me thinking about the records I own by him that I adore and still sound fresh nearly twenty years later. Loose rolling drums, loads of dubby delay treatments and always with a rough disco/funk edge. Erot really did have his own style and the mark that he left behind although sadly cut short was incredibly special.

Five with his unique touch below…
