The latest pair of technical fizzers come bowling up to PM+ from the boss himself, shoulder-barging his way between business lunches with a shark-like instinct for what bangs and no quarter given for self-serious techno posturing. 

Fed into the party mainframe directly from the new Aasthma studio he shares with Pär Grindvik in Stockholm, Peder Mannerfelt applies his amped-up digits to exactly the kind of irreverent but brilliantly realised club monster PM+ was built for (with a little help from Grindvik, no less). 

‘Flash My Flip Phone’ hinges on the titular keypad tones as a sort of early 00s update on bleep techno with added doof. As a complementary serving, the ‘Flipped Groove Version’ notches up the steely, loopy mechanics of the track as an ode to kind of techno which moved mountains around the time most folk were flashing their flip phones. It’s a direct adjustment for a more visceral experience, but rest assured both cuts will slay as they order you to make way for the power play, elbows aloft, eyes on the prize.

Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix Björk, and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for Karenn’s Voam label. 

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of Roll The Dice (with Malcolm Pardon) to the anything-goes maximalism of Aasthma (with Pär Grindvik). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of Fever Ray’s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as Smerz, Blonde Redhead and Glasser. His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like Sissel Wincent, Machine Woman, Klara Lewis and Hodge. 

More recently, his PM+ series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.

Meet the founder  - Cornetta

Born and raised in Bari, Italy.
Cornetta, mostly known as Silvia, has been very passionate about the electronic music scene since the age of 12, when she discovered her first favourite CD, Melody A.M by Röyksopp. Since then, she has explored a plethora of artists which still to this day have a massive influence on her music taste. At a young age and in her early teens Cornetta became obsessed with the music produced by Aphex Twin, μ-Ziq Luke Vibert, Plaid, Autechere and Plastikman, to mention only a few.
Around the age of 16, Cornetta was attending regularly both private and organised parties in Puglia and became more fond of Minimal Techno. As soon as she reached the legal age, Cornetta would put aside her pocket money and book cheap flights and accommodation to travel to festivals in Germany, when this was a lot more affordable to do. She became very inspired by the music and selection of artists such as Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Ricardo Villalobos, Jeff Mills, Ellen Allien, Monika Kruse, Miss Kittin and Miss Djax.
Cornetta has also dived into the free party scene in Puglia, which was at the time  fairly detached and separated from the Techno scene. Here, she became also intrigued by the sound of Dub, Reggae and the heavier bass of French Tek, which to these days continue to influence her selection.
Cornetta moved to Scotland in her early 20s and after meeting one of her closest friend to these days, Acid Boner, she approached the subcultural field and scend in Scotland. 

Cornetta started record digging and collecting Vinyls from the Ska Reggae and Mod subcultural movement with Dan and the pair would regularly attend record stores with their close group of friends to dig more music.
 
Cornetta moved to Scotland in her early 20s and after meeting one of her closest friend to these days, Acid Boner, she approached the subcultural field and scene in Scotland. In the meantime, Cornetta also attended different electronic music events across Scotland and fell in love with the local scene. She became a regular attendee and supporter of the Acid Boner nights, where she met other fellow electronic music aficionados.


Cornetta has also been studying Guitar since the age of 12 and continues to keep in parallel a great passion for indie rock music, folk and Bossanova, continuing to balance practice both on the turntables and the fretboard.
Following the Pandemic, it was felt that the local party scene experienced fair challenges and the nightlife had unavailably a negative hit in her local town of Aberdeen. With her own initiative and with the greay help of her friends and partner, Cornetta has launched last year her own parties in Aberdeen which were received really well, seeing quickly a contained crew of regular attendees.

The Danza Catartica Project emerged from a need to define a specific type of sound, reconnect to its subcultural roots and sense of community and involve artists that resonate with the sound and ethos.
