Dekmantel Mix 501 - Olof Dreijer
Sweden's Olof Dreijer is one of electronic music's most beloved outsiders. His work as half of The Knife alongside his sibling Karin is the stuff of experimental pop legend, while his solo output is just as wonderfully weird. He showed that again in September with Iris, his second EP on Dekmantel, which featured two originals that twist textured beats and smudged chords, intricate sound designs and hyper-real melodies.
Across his 75-minute mix for us this week, Dreijer works quickly through everything from carnival house to zippy club music, mutant bass and thumping techno. Plenty of his own music features, including his recent remix of Björk, Rosalia, plus cuts from DJ Hyperactive, Jeff Mills, DJ Rush and many more. It's a full throttle selection for the peak time.
