Peder Mannerfelt

Peder Mannerfelt splits the difference between playful immediacy and daring experimentation. You’re as likely to find him premiering a live show at Berlin’s Atonal festival as pulling apart fabled techno meccas from Berghain to Fabric with synapse-frying precision. One minute he’s being asked to remix <a href="spotify:artist:7w29UYBi0qsHi5RTcv3lmA" data-name="Björk">Björk</a> , and the next he’s dropping EPs of non-conformist techno for <a href="spotify:artist:4XbegMt5bk2X8R6b8z0vaX" data-name="Karenn">Karenn</a> &#39;s Voam label.

As a prolific collaborator throughout his career, Mannerfelt has veered from the orchestral tension of <a href="spotify:artist:64Ub5tUgRolfKc6HgoSEzv" data-name="Roll the Dice">Roll the Dice</a> (with <a href="spotify:artist:3LCJTqV9F11tXAQptDv1bV" data-name="Malcolm Pardon">Malcolm Pardon</a> ) to the anything-goes maximalism of <a href="spotify:artist:0oWDC2Rq9mbNIzMxoRpdoc" data-name="Aasthma">Aasthma</a> (with <a href="spotify:artist:3Wbd2KTQchnWgoc5jkbFCu" data-name="Grindvik">Grindvik</a> ). As a producer, he’s worked on every one of <a href="spotify:artist:5hE6NCoobhyEu6TRSbjOJY" data-name="Fever Ray">Fever Ray</a> s acclaimed albums and live shows, as well as projects from alt music heavyweights such as <a href="spotify:artist:1f8PlfSHEW6fHnILSzm8dI" data-name="Smerz">Smerz</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:5isqImG0rLfAgBJSPMEVXF" data-name="Blonde Redhead">Blonde Redhead</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2M45qKMZX16QUyOiKyluI0" data-name="Glasser">Glasser</a> . His Peder Mannerfelt Produktions label has become another outlet for his singular approach, presenting his work alongside similarly experimental operators like <a href="spotify:artist:0LYuszUNbwgujC8B6nhEWN" data-name="Sissel Wincent">Sissel Wincent</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:0kyeczWICSebymos0FqJvt" data-name="Klara Lewis">Klara Lewis</a> &amp; <a href="spotify:artist:2oLMqtx0PbqCXJDXs5lRvA" data-name="Hodge">Hodge</a>

More recently, his PM&#43; and PMx series celebrates the immediacy of club-focused tracks, and Mannerfelt thrives on the energy and community of contemporary club music. What makes him different is his response to that energy, as he pushes the music’s possibilities in wild, unpredictable directions.
