Mix 5

Co-mixed with @Aasthma.

There are few people who have had as much of an impact on contemporary electronic music as Karin Dreijer, whether with their brother Olof in The Knife or with their solo project, Fever Ray. From massive indie-pop hits to paradigm-shifting dance records, Dreijer's work takes a psychedelic, plasticine approach to synth pop, with their trademark pitch-shifted vocals and psuedo-tropical beats. As Fever Ray, they've tapped into the global club music underground, working with producers like Nídia, Paula Temple, Deena Abdelwahed, Vessel and, on new album Radical Romantics—one of our favourite albums of the year so far at RA, hands down—even Nine Inch Nails.

Other important collaborators in Dreijer's world are Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik, the Swedish techno producers who have been working with Fever Ray since the first album back in 2009. They co-mixed this RA Podcast. The mix is a survey of Dreijer's favourite dance music, some of which informs their one-of-a-kind sound world as Fever Ray. There's plenty of music from the groundbreaking East African scene centered around Nyege Nyege Tapes, plus DJ Haram, Equinkoxx, Tayhana and more, and even two exclusive, upcoming Fever Ray remixes from Avalon Emerson and Nifra. It's a rare look into the musical tastes of a true visionary.

Reclaim Your City 566 | Translate (Buenos Aires)

Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Teo Pellegrino AKA Translate has been pushing some serious heat as of late, including prime heaters for the likes of Semantica, KEY, Axis, Edit Select, Nachtstrom Schallplatten and his own record label, SRIE. Cutting his lane at the fringe of iron-fisted industrial percussion and intricate dub mind-games, Translate has us diving deep into claustrophobic environments and across mesmerizing layers of FX-soaked dementia. Stormy and highly energetic, his style combines the ruthlessness of uptempo tech assault and eerie, post-apocalyptic audio scenarios. Fierce and uncompromising thru and thru, there goes techno at its most brutally corrosive.

For the second episode of No Tags, Chal & Tom meet Nick Boyd and Tony G, the duo behind one of the underground’s best dance labels.

Sorry Records has been responsible for some of the most exciting music to come out of North America in recent years, but Nick and Tony don’t just have an eye for talent – they understand the higher purpose of a record label: to support and nurture; to “unify and unite”. They understand this because they understand dance music, and as this episode proves, their knowledge of its history runs submarine-deep.

We talked about the corporatisation of the underground, acid epiphanies, Boiler Room, why a record label needs to do more than just release good music, and this episode’s main theme: the network of North American dance music that ultimately drives Nick and Tony’s mission. This is the Sorry Records story to date – but it’s also much more.
