Kontra-Musik Kontra-Musik
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.

What began as a unique live project from Andreas Tilliander has become one of the hottest albums this year, with Morphosis' responses whetting our palettes. Taking on the name of the missing sibling of the Roland family, he traverses the allure of his classic hardware via broody, dubby electronics. Awesome.

Never mind the gear fetishism - Rabih Beaini's reworks of Andreas Tilliander's tracks are two of the most radical and exciting techno pieces we've heard in a while: broadband synth staccati, rumbling beats, fierce feedbacks. Not quite dance music, but this will grip you nonetheless. Killer.

Anonymous producer Rivet debuts on Kontra Music with an excellent single: 'Metrist' is raw techno soothed by great off-beat chords and deep strings. Marcel Fengler contributes a fine, jacking remix of this, before 'Sleepwalker' closes the EP with a hint of 1990s Warp techno. Recommended!

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.

For his eighth full-length under his Mokira guise, Andreas Tilliander takes the project further in the direction of dub techno than ever before. It still echoes the distorted drones of his 2009 album for Type, 'Persona', but tracks like 'LFU Skank' strongly favour loop based grooves over improvisation. Lovely album.
