ohm series promises to round up some of the best and the brightest within the dub techno scene –and for its debut offering it has truly delivered.we have four examplary tracks of the quality to come from this series. side a begins with stojche, the macedonian techno veteran. a pumping dubby techno fitting for the late night dancefloor. it follows with a cracking collaboration between thor, the head honcho at thule records & ohm, the man responsible for this release. it s an enigmatic dub techno journey –finely crafted as expected from those veterans of the scene. the flipside beginswith waage, the mysterious dub techno wizard, who offers an atmospheric and meditative dub techno extravaganza. it s subtle, yet intriguing. the ambient dub techno legend yagyabrings the release through the finishing line with his signature powerful glacial techno with dubby chord progression that has made him such a force to be reckoned with in the scene. ohm series is the brainchild of the establised copenhagen-based techno artist ohm (bjarnar jónsson) and was founded in 2021.

the resurgence of icelandic techno continues with the latest release on ae recordings, seeing bjarnar jonsson returning to his long standing ohm project alongside emergent talent kvadrant. the pair were last seen on kvadarant s kontakt label, and their production partnership is clearly still yielding quality, dubbed out techno in the finest scandinavian tradition. even if all the tracks are built with a steely techno focus to them, the synth work and sound design scattered throughout the tracks elevates this to a higher level, not least on the bubbling geisers of signal processing that course through the middle of grip.

rawax welcomes the electronic vikings bjarnar jonsson (ohm), jónas thor gudmundsson & michael sickinger (octal industries) to the family!

the ongoing celebration of kontra-musik s 10 years anniversary is basically a recognition of the importance of charisma within the predominantly mechanical sphere of electronic music. to quote label boss ulf eriksson in a recent groove interview: -to release on kontra you need to have developed a unique and personal sound.

a few years ago i saw a documentary about the audio trickery employed in ww2. i was totally flabbergasted and soon absorbed anything i could find on the subject. artists and scientists alike cooked up incredible situations to fool the german army. inflatable tanks and trucks stacked with speakers projecting recordings of an imaginary reality were used to deceive and deviate the opponent. this odd scenario influenced me profoundly and drove me towards composing music that related these feelings. the project only collected dust inside my head until radio bongo heard of it and encouraged me to finish. sveinbjörn bjarki jónsson aka sonic deception

to celebrate kontra-musik records hitting the ten-year mark, founder and label owner ulf eriksson has put together a collection of some of our finest releases.

for over eleven minutes jonsson & alter extracts bass sounds and gliding tonal textures of the originals and takes us on a deep and very trippy journey into taxi driver territory. suitable the remix is called tylerss dream. and we just love it.
