Kontra-Musik Records is a new Swedish label out of Malmö, focusing on dubbed-out underground techno. Kontra-Musik cites as its goal to "bring 'music' back into techno", with a "fat production" being "important but not enough". With great releases so far by Agaric (a.k.a Patrik Skoog) or Mikael Stavöstrand, as well as input from Marcel Dettmann or dubstep artist Scuba Kontra-Musik sure look set to live up to their claim.
This EP is featured in Update #072:
Elektro Guzzi, Marcel Dettmann, Sepalcure, Surkin
If you are based on the planet's northern hemisphere like we are, chances are you're either looking for a melancholic soundtrack to the greyness outside or some cheerful music to counter its adverse effects right now.
Either way, this month's releases more...

This is the second EP from Swedish duo Thor/Tilliander, and just like the first it is an absolute must for discerning dub techno fans. Two up-tempo tracks with a slight broken beat edge are complemented by a fantastic slow-mo dub from Substance. Once again, quality from Kontra-Musik.
