Par Grindvik: Sinister

Sweden’s Par Grindvik has always had a particularly ominous take on techno, if not outright evil—whether on his own label, Stockholm LTD, or records for Drumcode, Saved, and LTD400.

So it’s not entirely surprising that his new label, launched this week, is called Sinister.

Its first release is also called “Sinister,” and the music lives up to the title with swarming drones that sound like what you might hear queuing up at the gates of Hell.

Grindvik says that he wrote the original track in 2009 and 2010 as “part of a healing process.” That music wasn’t intended for release, and, says Grindvik, “it probably never will be.” Instead, he gave the parts to a small crew of friends and labelmates. The results—from Samuel L Session, S100, Gary Beck, Staffan Linzatti, Jesper Dahlback, and Grindvik himself—are six tracks of the deepest, darkest, most blackhearted techno you can imagine. ("None More Black” would have worked just as well as a title.)
