Electronic Explorations - 359 - Pär Grindvik

Live recording of Pär Grindvik at L'Ostra Club, Nancy France

Par Grindvik @ L'Ostra Club, Nancy

Press: finbar@wallroommusicgroup.com

Isle of Real's theme is of spaces once inhabited, long since abandoned and reclaimed by the creep of nature.

The ten-track album is the first full-length release for an internationally renowned producer and label owner who has been creating and releasing music for over twenty years.

Isle of Real was written whilst on the road over several months. Nomadic writing sessions on planes and in hotel rooms lead to a collection of demos. These demos later took form in the studio of friend and peer Peder Mannerfelt, where a four day recording session in Stockholm shaped the spine of the album, with Mannerfelt acting as recording assistant. This sharing of resources also resulted in contributions from Roll the Dice on the album’s title track.

As an electronic music devotee who began his artistic career as the owner of a record store in his home town of Stockholm in the 90s, Pär Grindvik has been exploring the world of electronic music for two decades, a history audible on this release. Here Grindvik has gone back to the early UK and US techno labels which formed him as an artist; labels like Evolution, Fragile, Transmat, Network, Rising High and Irdial-Discs.

Isle of Real traverses deliberately between scenes of delicate electronica, tracks like ‘Never Give In’, 'Shine’ and 'Shelter', through into uptempo techno tracks like ‘Limits of Real’, ‘Holy Nothing’ and the anthemic ‘The Marlton’. Dark pools of ambience ‘Isle of Real’ and ‘Tide us Part’ bind the LP, whilst 'Headland' and 'Changes' build upon timeless techno blueprints.

As a body of work Isle of Real demonstrates Grindvik’s talent for melody, bearing hooks which thread through the LP, from its plains to its peaks, and which betray the producer’s mythical influences.

Isle of Real is out on double 12" via Pär Grindvik's own Stockholm LTD label.

Following the recent release of Pär Grindvik's (@grindvik)debut LP 'Isle of Real', Pär presents his 'Colours of Real' mix for Electronic Explorations.

"I've tried to capture some of the inspiration that I had for Isle of Real, selecting tracks from mostly the 90's which mean a great deal to who I am and which shaped the vibe of the LP, without choosing the most obvious ones. I hope that the listener enjoys it and discovers something from the era which they may have originally missed!"

The result is 60 minutes of dusty gems from the extensive shelves of producer and label manager Pär Grindvik, one who began his artistic career as the owner of a record store in Stockholm.

No track list for this one intentionally, hope that's cool!

Stockholm LTD welcomes Nihad Tule to the label, pairing the Sweden-based producer with label boss Pär Grindvik for a split EP titled ‘Landmarks’. Each component of this five track release, although written separately, fits together like a story which was meant to be. 

‘Landmarks’ follows the success of Grindvik’s premiere LP ‘Isle of Real’, released via Stockholm LTD in May, an album which spans the breadth of Grindvik's influences from his 20 year career. Here, the focus is firmly on the club floor. SLOBODA label head Tule bookends the release with two tracks of paralleled intensity. ‘Kuortane (Landmarks)’ pairs grainy, ethereal chords with thundering drums, while ‘Bleed’ closes the EP with nervous percussion layered underneath bubbles of twisted melody. Grindvik bridges Tule’s work with a double dose of high-grade techno in the form of ‘Tradition’ and ‘Rested’, both tracks laced with Grindvik’s trademark haunting themes, which bind the EP together to form a perfect whole.

Returning back to the club this coming weekend is one of Sweden's strongest talents, Pär Grindvik. A long standing fixture in his locale, Grindvik has worked his way up through any role he could fit himself into starting out in the city's record stores in the 90's up to founding Stockholm LTD in 2002; he's an artist that comes with bags of enthusiasm that comes through in earnest in his many DJ sets. 

His latest long player Isle Of Real revisits the formative times in Grindvik's career, taking points from the 90's era techno that he was immersed in during that time. It's a sound that we can firmly get behind and that echoes within this exclusive mix he has shared with us to get us amped for his incoming set in Room Two this Saturday night.

The quality of Stockholm LTD’s 2016 output has been hard to top, with acclaimed full length ‘Isle of Real’ from label boss Pär Grindvik in May, followed by a split EP from Grindvik and SLOBODA label head Nihad Tule in September.

And the Stockholm born, Berlin­based imprint is right back with another lethal VA, ‘A Number of Thoughts’. Their 39th release combines contributions from Dutchmen Doka, Sinfol and Octual plus Belgian newcomer Phara, as well as Grindvik himself.

Doka’s ‘Hidden’ layers staggering, tribal percussion under sinister robotic formants. Label boss Grindvik follows up with The Order, where jagged waves of ice build and swell to a dramatic breakdown, to be broken against warm chords and deep harmonies.

On the flipside, Phara turns out 6 minutes of thundering, stuttering techno, while Sinfol and Octual round off the EP with ‘Signals’, as syncopated toms fire under breathy moans.
