Following from the reticulated peak time techno-parade of that acclaimed El Fortin EP released on Leyla records earlier this year, Pfirter & Grindvik return with a two-track routine, ‘Mover / Neu’ takes a more stripped back trip exploring than it's predecessor, some classic mid-90s techno metrics whilst adding to the canon of storied techno grooves. Through these tracks, Pfirter & Grindvik tells a story of a night that will remain a legend of Buenos Aires clubbing. 

Come with us to Coco! Oh, it's opening time, another night for the wicked, another to shred our minds. We take the street and eat at El Fortin. Who's got that ride for us, a pill to share a thrill to spare. We pass Udolfo the mad one, naked, screaming at the cars, the line stretches a full block, acting as a living thing. For quite what goes in or to care what comes out we don't give. So let's get down in that basement and melt our faces off. There's just one way to do it so come with us to Coco Oh, it's the opening time.

Taken Name steps back to Stockholm LTD after destroying the recent Sardonic Tonality compilation one Haven. Serving up a fresh take on classic tropes, Life's A Lemon pushes their singular sound to uncharted territories and squeezes that extra drop of sweat out of every loop and pore.

Folds In Time shows Taken Name at the edge of their most vulnerable but never letting the dancefloor take a backseat to emotion. Were still at the commencement of the Taken Name story. Heading down a path less taken, always leading upward.

Following their highly acclaimed 'Alpha ep', released on Pfirter's MindTrip record label in 2020, Pfirter and Oliver are now taking the concept one step further on to Par Grindvik's Stockholm LTD record label.
If Alpha was all about loopy old school sounding techno, 'Beta' is taking a deeper approach without reducing the raw energy that the two producers are known for.

Oliver and Pfirter have spent the last few years honing a unique writing process.
The process itself is very simple, as the pair explains:
- Most tracks start with that Oliver recording live takes with his machines, then passing these recordings to Pfirter who is in charge of the mixing and arrangement.
So far we haven't done many retakes or even had to revisit the tracks more than a few times says Pfirter.

Stockholm LTD reaches the magic number 53 with the long-awaited return of the Argentinian native and MindTrip records owner, Pfirter! 

Even though it's been a good eight years since Pfirter's last outing on the label, the well acclaimed 'Audiometeria' EP, he still has to be counted as one of Stockholm LTD's main artists. ''Defiance / Coherence'' is a strong two tracker in true Pfirter esthetic. This is music for both body and mind, MindTrip music!

My label Stockholm LTD turned 15 recently, so I decided it was time for a little celebration. I'm happy and grateful for the past, and I can’t wait to see what will happen next. Here's how it all started: 

Södermalm, Stockholm 1999. The capacity of the store was probably less than 20. The cold and industrial-tinged interior featured ash grey walls, rust-free steel accents, and a magnificently elevated cashier desk. The ceiling was an impressive 3.5 meters with two massive speakers hanging above the cashier. Shelves and bins stocked with vinyl, tapes, and magazines covered the walls. In the storefront, you would find the listening stations with turntables that sit nicely inside their desks. While you listened to the week’s new releases, you’d be treated to a view of the blooming streets of Södermalm as people rushed by. There was a small sign with operating hours in the window which also said “TECHNO / ELECTRO. Welcome to Illegal Stockholm!” 

Illegal Stockholm was founded by Tobias Von Hofsten and myself in late 1998. It became our home, blood, sweat, and tears for a good 4-5 years. I was only 18 years old at the time and still in school when we opened its doors. I couldn’t think of anything cooler or more fun than hanging out, talking and listening to music all day and night. After we closed the shop at night. We would hang in the ‘office’ which was the store’s back room. I forged life life-long friendships and gave birth to the idea of Stockholm LTD. I wanted to show people a slightly different side of our scene. The original idea was to keep the recording artist secret with no names announced on the release, but the idea fell flat as people figured it out the day of our first release. Since then, the concept of the label has changed a few times but the core idea and desire remains the same: releasing timeless electronic music. 

Stockholm LTD has stood the test of time, it’s not that many labels that stay current for that long. This is only possible with the help of all the artists I’ve been working with over the years. To say I am extremely grateful is an understatement! 

With this in mind, let’s celebrate the label’s 15th anniversary with a 5 part release! 15Y contains remixes by some of my favorite artists at the moment. They have all picked and reworked something from my part of the label’s back catalog. The series will stretch out over a set of 5 vinyl singles with a special anniversary sleeve and a beautiful engraving made by graphic designer Håkan Ullberg.

 First pressing in very limited red 180g vinyl.

Andre Kronerts seminal EXU EP gets a comprehensive rework from some of the most outstanding on the scene. Tense and sinister new cuts from Kronert introduce both sides of the release, whilst the label calls upon remixes from Berlin mainstays Efdemin and Ed Davenport, as well as Hollands finest export Juan Sanchez, plus Stockholm LTD label boss Par Grindvik alongside fellow Swede Peder Mannerfelt.

Retaining the slurred vocal of the original, Efdemin layers thundering effects over chasmic bass in his mix of Into The Zone, which saw heavy rotation last year. Meanwhile Davenport brings a wild yet streamlined intensity to C.O.D.E.2.
Side B sees Grindvik team up with Mannerfelt to provide a joint interpretation of Into The Zone, which they manipulate into a peak-time epic, with a soaring melody over hammering toms. Finally, Juan Sanchez channels funk through Roll The Dice with a twitchy, groove-laden rework.

The spirit of EXU is made physical once again via 12 inches and 27 minutes of wax.

This time it's straight from the shadows, with masterful input from Mighty Thor, Savas Pascalidis and Border One as well as newcomer DJ Redo.

Isle of Real's theme is of spaces once inhabited, long since abandoned and reclaimed by the creep of nature.

The ten-track album is the first full-length release for an internationally renowned producer and label owner who has been creating and releasing music for over twenty years.

Isle of Real was written whilst on the road over several months. Nomadic writing sessions on planes and in hotel rooms lead to a collection of demos. These demos later took form in the studio of friend and peer Peder Mannerfelt, where a four day recording session in Stockholm shaped the spine of the album, with Mannerfelt acting as recording assistant. This sharing of resources also resulted in contributions from Roll the Dice on the album’s title track.

As an electronic music devotee who began his artistic career as the owner of a record store in his home town of Stockholm in the 90s, Pär Grindvik has been exploring the world of electronic music for two decades, a history audible on this release. Here Grindvik has gone back to the early UK and US techno labels which formed him as an artist; labels like Evolution, Fragile, Transmat, Network, Rising High and Irdial-Discs.

Isle of Real traverses deliberately between scenes of delicate electronica, tracks like ‘Never Give In’, 'Shine’ and 'Shelter', through into uptempo techno tracks like ‘Limits of Real’, ‘Holy Nothing’ and the anthemic ‘The Marlton’. Dark pools of ambience ‘Isle of Real’ and ‘Tide us Part’ bind the LP, whilst 'Headland' and 'Changes' build upon timeless techno blueprints.

As a body of work Isle of Real demonstrates Grindvik’s talent for melody, bearing hooks which thread through the LP, from its plains to its peaks, and which betray the producer’s mythical influences.

Isle of Real is out on double 12" via Pär Grindvik's own Stockholm LTD label.

Stockholm LTD welcomes Nihad Tule to the label, pairing the Sweden-based producer with label boss Pär Grindvik for a split EP titled ‘Landmarks’. Each component of this five track release, although written separately, fits together like a story which was meant to be. 

‘Landmarks’ follows the success of Grindvik’s premiere LP ‘Isle of Real’, released via Stockholm LTD in May, an album which spans the breadth of Grindvik's influences from his 20 year career. Here, the focus is firmly on the club floor. SLOBODA label head Tule bookends the release with two tracks of paralleled intensity. ‘Kuortane (Landmarks)’ pairs grainy, ethereal chords with thundering drums, while ‘Bleed’ closes the EP with nervous percussion layered underneath bubbles of twisted melody. Grindvik bridges Tule’s work with a double dose of high-grade techno in the form of ‘Tradition’ and ‘Rested’, both tracks laced with Grindvik’s trademark haunting themes, which bind the EP together to form a perfect whole.

The quality of Stockholm LTD’s 2016 output has been hard to top, with acclaimed full length ‘Isle of Real’ from label boss Pär Grindvik in May, followed by a split EP from Grindvik and SLOBODA label head Nihad Tule in September.

And the Stockholm born, Berlin­based imprint is right back with another lethal VA, ‘A Number of Thoughts’. Their 39th release combines contributions from Dutchmen Doka, Sinfol and Octual plus Belgian newcomer Phara, as well as Grindvik himself.

Doka’s ‘Hidden’ layers staggering, tribal percussion under sinister robotic formants. Label boss Grindvik follows up with The Order, where jagged waves of ice build and swell to a dramatic breakdown, to be broken against warm chords and deep harmonies.

On the flipside, Phara turns out 6 minutes of thundering, stuttering techno, while Sinfol and Octual round off the EP with ‘Signals’, as syncopated toms fire under breathy moans.

French duo Laval returns to Pär Grindvik's Stockholm LTD imprint, 'Origins' is taking place as a follow up to their well-acclaimed 'Cold Hearts' album, released early 2018. Laval has had a brilliant rise since surfacing on Stockholm LTD in 2017, now they serve up the label's last release of the year. 

'Origins' is a steady three tracker in true Laval aesthetic, showcasing the duo's skills of blending experimental and heavy rhythm patterns with beautiful atmospheres and melodies. Laval's music is for sure connecting the dots between dance music and the listening realm.
