"Had a fruitful venture to the record store which inspired me to try out some of my new records. Mixing wobbly minimal, tech house, chordy euphoric business and some harder stuff as well. Had a lot of fun recording this one :)"

@timotorbenn @earworm_sound

Earworm presents it's debut release "Malmö Multum" - a collaboration with and fundraiser for Bolero Recordstore in the form of a VA populated with tracks by some of the cities best and brightest.

Each producer flexes their flavour and does what they do best which has resulted in an eclectic album moving from one style to another. Purely by coincidence, within the variety there exists a cohesive flow through the body of work, as if the tracks were meant to belong together. The city inspires us all in different ways, yet there exists a crossover with a mechanism to link those inspirations.

In light of the recent motion to close our beloved local Bolero Recordstore, this fundraiser acts as a celebration of what the store has done for the underground community and as a statement of our desire for the collaborative vision to continue in new ways.

All money raised from this VA will be donated to Bolero with the intention to make future events and projects even more possible.

Vi dansar tillsammans. Malmö Multum.

(Tracklist also available on the video)

"Stumbled across a bunch of really wiggy and glitchy old tech house stuff from the mid 2000's recently and fancied taking the tunes out for a spin. Combined with some bits of the same vain that I have in my record collection. Some proper wonky, weird and wonderful tunes in here. Hope ya dig"

Slump Recordings Artists For Palestine Compilation 2023

Pink Elephants [Slump Recordings]

Vinyl & Digital: https://onrotation.bandcamp.com/album/genetic-memories-vol-2

On Rotation returns with the second instalment of its Genetic Memories V/A series, showcasing the diversity of the label’s sound through 4 floor-focused cuts from a spectrum of global talent.

Fresh from dropping an EP with our good friends space:lab, Rambal Cochet delivers a mind-melting A1 to start things off. Deep, tasteful and making full use of his trademark sound design, “Meteora” is one for the witching hour! 

Bolam steps up next with the party-starting “Dream Machine”. Colourful synths sit atop driving breaks, with the peak-time energy dialled up to 11. 

Flipping the record reveals a darker, hazier sound. Moisk’s “GooSE Attack” is reminiscent of long nights (and mornings, and afternoons) in the smoky clubs of Berlin and Amsterdam, while the dark, rolling tech house of “X-Stream” by Aussie heroes Primitive Needs is pure afters’ fodder - a real B2 killer for those who know.

On Rotation is a Leeds-based event & mix series turned label, with 6 genre-defining releases featuring scene stalwarts such as Adam Pits, Solar Suite, Anderson, Roza Terenzi and Hybrid Man, Jamie Leather & more. 

Vinyl & Digital out 29.03.24

"Dived into some neglected records in my collection combined with some new purchases and discoveries. All very groovy, chunky and deep with some hints of heft thrown in along the way. Had a heap of fun recording this one, the energy was real!"

Chunky Chunes [bolambeats04]

Proud and super grateful to share this 13-track VA (with tracks by @biodive, @glens, @bfrome, @bolam, and more) featuring artists who’ve been on the journey from the start, alongside newcomers who continue to capture the old-school sounds of house and trance, pumping prog, and extra-terrestrial techno influenced beats. Listen as these tracks become a portal, resonating with the vibrant soundscape of the past and the future of @neptunediscs

PREMIERE: Bolam - Gunk Funk [Neptune Discs]

For episode 38 we have, Shetland-Born, Malmö-Based ‘Bolam' has become a notable name in the Swedish dance music circuit over the last few years. Not only from his inimitable productions on labels like Slump Recordings, On Rotation, Holding Hands and Space Dust, but also as one of the founding members of local devoted bass-music collective MELT who have continued to output electric events since their inception.

For his Malmö Techno Tales mix, Bolam has whipped up an hour of non-stop power with some sleek trance, raw hard house and mesmeric deep techno both new and old.

Interview with Bolam:

Q: What made you start DJing?
A: A lifelong love for dance music, it was always gonna happen.

Q: Describe your style in three words.
A: Cheeky, trippy & groovy.

Q: Your best set in 2023/2024?
A: Earlier this year I played a b2b with my little brother in my hometown of Scalloway in the Shetland Islands. It was very special.

Q: Your favorite track right now?
A: Thats a tough one. I’m listening to a lot of stuff at the moment, but one track that I keep coming back to is “Los Hermanos - Central Nervous System”

Q: A track you never get tired of?
A: One of my most played tracks in my DJ sets for years is ‘Cari Lekebusch - Psyphonic’. It’s so mixable and never fails.

Q: Where can one find the best falafel in Malmö?
A: Representing my local - Clemens Falafel Malmö.

Q: A Malmö DJ you want to highlight?
A: I want to shout out every one of my Malmö DJ friends because they’re all sick in their own ways. But my fellow MELT compadres Mod Sens & Ekaliff never fail to blow my mind with the stuff they play and produce. They’re both super talented with proper love for the music and the craft, and they’re incredibly good people as well. Two very inspiring individuals.

SLUMPED003

Premiere : Bolam - Turbo Butterfly (SLUMPED003)

Scottish producer and Earworm head-honcho Bolam expands the label with a special collaboration - Off The Meds vocalist Kamohelo Khoaripe. A wonky, deep and percussive two tracker: “OMFG, That’s Not Nice”

Born from a friendship formed through social media upon like-minded sensibilities, Bolam & Kamohelo’s similar attitudes towards music is an electrifying crossover. The EP showcases a dynamic mix of snappy, wrist-flicking drums and glitchy earcandy anchored by Kamo’s standout vocals. The lyrics, while being open to interpretation, explore technology's influence on happiness and entertainment in the modern world, albeit with a hint of dystopia woven in. This theme is mixed with Bolam’s beatsmith skills which are, as always, filled with giddy tongue-in-cheek character from start to finish.

PREMIERE: Bolam & Kamohelo - OMFG [earworm]

Bolam rounds off the evening with a power hour of wigged-out contemporary house and leftfield. Pinning genres on this one is redundant. An experimental cheek drives a mixed set weighted towards low-end grooves, high-end bounce, and weirdo ear worms so signature of that contemporary proggy milieu. Its techy and seriously driving by way of tunes from Jorg Kunning, to Adam Pits, and Caldera. 


Melt w/ Bolam @ Radio Panini (12.04.2025)

Bolam returns in form to send the penultimate set of the evening. A lightfooted adventure through contemporary tech house and those wiggy kind of halfway-electro bits. Ear-to-ear grinners and foot shakers throughout this one, with bits from Guy Contact, Philip Chernikov, and HOSH amongst others. 


Bolam @ Radio Panini (27.06.2025)

“Reflections” is a showcase of music curated and mixed by Jack Hardie AKA Bolam.

This mix spans through different genres, styles & moods like downbeat, house, breakbeat, electro, techno, hardcore and drum and bass. Including tracks from the likes of Underworld, Oli XL, Solid Blake, Lone, Djrum, Talvin Signh and more. Light and dark, smooth and tough, slow and fast, uplifting and mean, this two-hour journey is an accurate reflection of what makes Bolam.

Reflections (Dublab Mix)

As with all the episodes of this series, the mix is a self contained 2 hour musical journey that focuses on a flow of everchanging moods and rhythms, exploring ambient, downtempo, chillout, house, some videogame soundtracks, some classics and electronica as a whole. This one has a triumphant sound, the final episode is here and it goes with a relaxing yet surprising fizz. Lots of wavey, weird and wonderful tracks, some with lots of energy, some not, but all positive energy, albeit with some wiggyness and melancholy thrown in. Guarenteed to get the emotions flowing and the head bopping.
