A soft downtempo mix from one of NYC's finest techno DJs. In a post-pandemic New York that has witnessed an explosion of new talent, Emma Olson, who goes by Umfang, is by now a recognized veteran who is well-respected for her fluency in techno – and not just as a DJ, but also as someone engaged with its political history and contemporary social contexts. Her psychedelic all-vinyl sets move the body AND mind and are proof that the true skill of the DJ isn’t necessarily what one plays, but how.

“I have been wanting to make a slower mix for a long time which is hilariously challenging for me coming from mostly playing techno,” says Umfang. “I make subdued sparse music and have had a difficult time closing the gap between soundscapes I'm drawn to and the music I play in the club.” 

The result is the sound of a bridge. “This is a reflection of some intentional digging for downtempo, a desire to feature the music my friends are making now that excites me, and the one-off ambient tracks from techno artists that often don't find a place in the club.” Considering these new tempos and textures, the variety here is cohesive, and it also feels intimate — the sound of an artist earnestly building out new comfort zones.
