Trailer techno with a pinch of psychedelic disco and acid masala

Once a peace-loving sound doctor known for fixing frequencies and aligning crooked beats, Mindbender accidentally rewired his own brain while experimenting with an early prototype of a neural groove stimulator. The machine went haywire, turning him from mild-mannered engineer to full-blown audio anarchist.

Since the late ’80s, he’s been engineering floor-melting experiments and mentoring rogue producers through his Mindbender Masterworks lab - turning out a dangerous new generation of sonic saboteurs. Alongside long-time collaborator Högt I Tak, he co-founded When Disco Goes Wrong, a label-turned-underground movement dedicated to the noble art of rhythmic mischief.

His studio is a hybrid operating theatre and time machine, where vintage circuitry meets digital voodoo and every fader has a story. He doesn’t produce tracks so much as summon them - unpredictable hybrids of acid, disco and funk that refuse to behave but somehow make perfect sense at 3 a.m.

Approach with caution: prolonged exposure may cause involuntary grinning, mild transcendence and a lifelong addiction to weird grooves.

One day in Berlin ... Eno came running in and said, "I have heard the sound of the future." ... he puts on "I Feel Love," by Donna Summer ... He said, "This is it, look no further. This single is going to change the sound of club music for the next fifteen years." Which was more or less right."

In the past (1990->  Underground Promoter - Acid Techno Rave Party's - medium and small wearhouse parties (Space Ravers) every two weeks, illegal and totally illegal. Numerous Gaypartys and After After-Hours Bars and Clubs in the port area in southern Stockholm.

(2012-and till to day > Disco , House Techno and KINK events

"You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

Northern electronica with an organic feel and solid groove.

The Machine Soul, AKA Robert Folkesson. Robert was part of the early rave and house scene in Stockholm, dj-ing at various underground warehouse parties and legendary clubs like Deep in Bleep, Monday Bar and Le Garage. The Machine Soul is Roberts’s brain child for producing deep and groovy downtempo, tech and deep house - plus the occasional acid techno attack - released on labels like Hug Records @hugrecords EKORD @ekordmusic , When Disco Goes Wrong, Paisley Dark Records @yeadonred and his own label Machine Soul Records.

You can spot him from time to time doing live and dj sets - often together with his wingman Mindbender - @marten-attling
