Artist: Ohm [OHM Series /  Kontakt / Thule Recordings / Æ Recordings]

For the seventh edition of the frontier we turn to our good friend, musical power-house and one of the genuinely nicest guys on the scene. It’s Bjarnar Jonsson aka OHM.

DJ and producer Ohm is one of the leading figures in the Icelandic contemporary techno scene. Widely associated with iconic labels such as Thule Records, Force Inc, Rawax, Luck of access ,Taped artifact,Nilla and Kontakt !

Ohm stays true to his roots by consistently innovating his interpretation of techno music, integrating soul and innovation with the scene.   

We were lucky and honoured to be able to invite OHM over to Manchester in early 2024 to play an incredible back to back set with another musical mastermind, Kontakt Records boss - Kvadrant. All in the intimate setting of Eastern Bloc Records.  

You can check that mix out here -

For this frontier mix Bjarnar has presented an hour of vinyl only records that he is currently feeling. Including some stuff you might not have heard before. This recording certainly holds true to his own style and sound and is expertly put together, we wouldn’t expect anything less.

#010

Artist: Dubrovnik (UK) [Greyscale / OHM Series / Verdant / Mixcult / Lempuyang]

Our 10th voyage into sound is brought to you on this occasion by Chris Currie, better know as Dubrovnik (UK). The Glasgow based DJ & Producer has really been flexing his musical muscles over the last few years with his releases on Greyscale and Verdant, as well has some incredible tracks for OHM series and the mighty Lempuyang. 

His sound is hard to put into one specific box, which is always a good thing. Dubbed out house and techno, euphoric and uplifting while maintaining a level of deepness most can only aspire to. His sound has a uniqueness to it which in this current climate of saturation is the highest compliment we can pay. 

For this Frontier mix Chris has turned in a truly epic hour and 45 minute journey. He kicks  things off in the realms of deep house and heady, atmospheric dubbed out electronica. Before slowly moving through the gears into some real heads down dub techno that wouldn’t be put of place in an abandoned Berlin warehouse. He caps things off with some classy dub leaning techno cuts culminating in some straight up ravey bangers that will get your head nodding.   

We want to thank Chris for this contribution to the series, he certainly got the memo of what we asked for and has knocked it out of the park.

The Frontier 010 - Dubrovnik (UK)

Primary [colours] is excited to announce the first of our two winners of the Bandcamp mix competition. We could not split the two mixes!

The competition consisted of buying the entire catalogue of Primary Colours from the Bandcamp store and creating a two hour mix from the catalogue of Primary [colours]. 

We would like to thank everyone who contributed a mix but these two stood out above the rest.

First up we would like to introduce Recardo. We hope you enjoy this well curated and meticulous mix.

Recardo is a Perth-based producer and DJ with a wide range of electronic music tastes, but always has a soft-spot for deeper sounds.

"I've always considered myself a producer first and DJ second - and that’s how I approached this mix. Once tempos from my short-listed tracks were locked in I built out the sequence a track at a time until I was happy with the flow. As everything was locked to a grid in Bitwig, I was free to take liberties with the arrangement of certain tracks, and use some sections as additional layers to keep the flow or build intensity. Finally, I mapped a custom effects rack to a MIDI controller and recorded more conventional DJ-style effects to help shape the overall dynamics of the mix."

Dub Explorations 127

Trust when we tell you this mix has been a long-time coming... And now, finally, enter Tm Shuffle (AKA Trackmaster Shuffle AKA DJ Shuffle). His real name is Jukka Hänninen and he originates from Ruutana, Finland - a settlement absorbed into the country's sprawling second-largest city Tampere, which lies in the south of the country, about 150 km north of Helsinki.

Jukka is a purveyor of finest deep & dubby techno music as an artist, DJ and label boss with his Vuo Records and Soulful Dubs imprints, which stretch back to a first release in 2003. His labels have released the works of his friends and fellow countrymen like Monoder, Phonogenic, Trevor Deep Jr; Star Dub; Armin Bender; Marco Cassanelli; former Avenue Red guest OHM and his long-time collaborator Kvadrant, to name just a handful.

This mix is a testament to his veteran status on the decks and his keen ear for a patient, treacle-smooth flowing deep dubbed-out techno vinyl mix that feels transcending, full of cosmic touches... and if you close your eyes you can see the northern lights shimmering in your mind as you let the sounds wash over you.

"I bring this mix from Ruutana City, Finland. Hidden in this studio in the forest, armed with two trusty old 1210s, a mixer and some dusty records, I bring the usual dubby deepness. Dive in!" Jukka Hänninen, March 2025
