Josefine Hellström (Catharsis / Alleycat Anthem / Klubb Döden, SE)
It’s the contrasts that get you. Sharp edges soft to the touch, like translucent lace on sun-cracked asphalt. Moving through an intoxicating, unpredictable array of rough breakbeats – it is the raw tonality and temperament that makes Josefine a fearsome reputation as a selector. Straight to the point with elements of colorful melodies, reflected through infectious tribal-esque rhythms and rugged cut UK bass – is what appears throughout her music and in her sets. This techno is a powerful intent to build tension, climaxing into a frenzy of emotions, and also the reason why Josefine is one of the most sought-after DJs in the Scandinavian region.

Vintergatan #17 w/ Josefine Hellström (01/12/22)

Live recording of closing set at Anomali, Malmö

Josefine Hellström @ Anomali (23.02.2024)

For episode 47 we have none other than Josefine Hellström, founder of Catharsis and resident at Alleycat Anthem. 

It is the raw tonality and temperament that makes Josefine a fearsome reputation as a selector. Straight to the point with elements of colorful melodies, reflected through infectious tribal-esque rhythms and old school flavors - is what appears throughout her music and in her sets. As a music collector, Josefine’s preferred format as a DJ is vinyl and her techno is a powerful intent to build tension, climaxing into a frenzy of emotions, and also the reason why Josefine is one of the most sought-after DJs in the Scandinavian region. 

Interview with Josefine Hellström: 

Q: What made you start DJing?
A: It all started on the dancefloor. I’ve always loved a proper rave, and back in 2011-2012, the underground scene in Malmö was thriving. It gave me a space to explore and fall in love with techno, and I started producing and mixing around the same time. I’ve been obsessed with music since I was born, though, and began playing the piano at a young age. It’s in my blood. But I found my true home and creativity in techno.
 

Q: Describe your style in three words.
A: Timeless, dynamic, cathartic
 

Q: Your best set in 2023/2024?
A: Impossible to choose! If I had to pick two, they’d probably be my set at Fokus open air last summer and my recent b2b2b2b at Pissa i Motvind (Inkonst) with Kalevi Palomäki, Johanna Knutsson and Kanyl. Both were amazing.
 

Q: Your favorite track right now?
A:  Introversion - Mania
 

Q: A track you never get tired of?
A: Ferdinger – Plein Soleil


Q: Where can one find the best falafel in Malmö?
A: Värnhems Falafel. It's on another level.
 

Q: A Malmö DJ you want to highlight?
A: Kanyl (Björn Jumme). A true gem and an insanely skilled DJ. I’m on a mission to never let him retire. https://soundcloud.com/kanyl

It’s the contrasts that get you. Sharp edges soft to the touch, like translucent lace on sun-cracked asphalt. For Josefine Hellström, melancholy and euphoria are not opposites – they’re inseparable. The enraptured flash when a child finally catches a beautiful butterfly. The wistful moment seconds later when she opens her hands and finds the fragile being lifeless. It’s all there. Josefine Hellström has found a way to capture that duality in her music and in her sets.

Moving through an intoxicating, unpredictable array of rough breakbeats – it is the raw tonality and temperament that makes Josefine a fearsome reputation as a selector. Straight to the point with elements of colorful melodies, reflected through infectious tribal-esque rhythms and rugged cut UK bass - is what appears throughout her music and in her sets. As a music collector, Josefine’s preferred format as a DJ is vinyl and her techno is a powerful intent to build tension, climaxing into a frenzy of emotions, and also the reason why Josefine is one of the most sought-after DJs in the Scandinavian region.

After almost 10 years in the industry as a DJ, producer and organizer affiliated with crews like Klubb Döden and Alleycat Anthem in Malmö, 2022 marked the premiere of Josefine’s club Catharsis as a part of her residency at Inkonst.
