Ivan Ave's - aloof accommodations and coy flirtations while the jazz / funk / hip hop turns "On The Very Lows" in Oslo (Official Video)














"all these long days are just an entree"

Ivan Ave's track On The Very Low feels like a groovy vacation after working solid for five arduous years at a job that you freaking hate. The nimble bass work, funky and jazzy too floats around a head bopping jamming drum beat as Ave does what he does so well. Spouts his words, smart, witty, aloof when he wants to be and coyly flirty when he wants to be. Check it out.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Ivan Ave's relationship with music started in the CD shelves of his older sisters. Today the Norwegian MC makes songs clearly shaped by sneaking into 90s bedrooms to play albums by The Fugees and Janet Jackson. In the last few years he has put out several projects, all deeply rooted in the RnB and Hip-Hop of his childhood, perhaps even more the 70s jazz and soul that inspired it. The same vibes are prevalent on any release or event (e.g. Boiler Room) executed by his crew Mutual Intentions, an Oslo based family of visual artists, DJs and musicians. Ivan signed with Berlin based Jakarta Records in 2014 to release Low Jams, a five track phenomenon produced by Stones Throw artist Mndsgn. The EP was described by Okayplayer.com as “an enveloping head nodder that peppers irresistible grooves with vivid double-entendres and exists in the same elusive strata of true school perfection occupied by Nas’ debut Illmatic LP.” In 2015 Ivan and long time collaborator Fredfades released another duo project, entitled Fruitful LP. In early 2016 Jakarta Records released Ivan's debut solo LP "Helping Hands", produced exclusively by Mndsgn. His second solo LP "Every Eye" released late 2017 with production by Mndsgn, Like, DJ Harrison, Kaytranada and Dam-Funk to name a few.
