2014 mixes

As head of Kontra-Musik, Eriksson has proudly cultivated a label that now typifies the high quality of techno currently seeping out of Sweden, working with a small collection of local and international artists. Jason Fine, Jonsson & Alter, Mass Prod, Frak, Rivet and Andreas Tilliander under his many guises are among those that have contributed to the consistently adventurous Kontra-Musik discography, and whilst the label has largely been defined by quality over quantity recent times have seen a slight upturn in their output.

In 2012, the Kontra-Musik White Label series was established initially as a non-Börft outlet for Frak material and has since been complemented by releases from Fishermen and the crazy Technology Fail As A Birth Control For Unnecessary Recordings from Mass Prod & Herva. Last year also saw Kontra-Musik team up with fellow Swedish techno behemoths Skudge Records for the collaborative SKUM endeavour, whilst issuing album projects from label mainstays Jonsson & Alter and Andreas Tilliander, with the latter's TM404 perhaps the most imaginative usage of Roland drum machinery in some time.

There's a curatorial skill intrinsic to the successful running of a label that makes individuals such as Ulf Eriksson ideal candidates for interesting mixes. That's certainly the case here with the Swede offering up a 43 minute selection of his 2013 favourites that includes Silent Servant, Laurel Halo, Donato Dozzy, Tropic of Cancer and Morphosis. The mix comes in the week after Eriksson made his Berghain bow as part of Berlin's CTM festival and how that went forms part our questions put to the Swede.

Mysteries Of The Deep, Chapter XXII. Subception by Ricardo Donoso.

"He probably held too tightly
 (In the palm of his hand,
 Looking out on the sea)

 To the sand the wind
 Was taking, grain by grain --

 He who holds a fear
 Of becoming mist."

"This mix is basically a collection of nostalgia influenced pieces, weightless productions and scores that have stuck with me. I've always thought a lot of the music used in games is very underrated in terms of their depth and ideas and doing this mix gave me the opportunity to include some of my favourites. One in particular is a game called "Tyrian" - a space-shooter filled with mad colours and beams and has this weird tragic storyline. I based the premise of the mix behind this - its about being lost in space but still feeling content and somewhat close to home. Hope you enjoy it." Dark0

A prolific digger with discerning taste she draws from a wide and colourful musical palette spanning Acid House, Tribal percussion, Progressive, Trance, Breakbeat, and more. With a love of blissed out Balearic pads, Rave stabs and pumping percussion she weaves blissed out, eclectic and euphoric sonic experiences, full of different textures and emotions.
