Olof Dreijer (ex-The Knife) returns to Dekmantel with Iris a new 4-track EP out this September just in time for his North America tour. Featuring remixes by Nidia and Verraco Iris follows his 2024 collab with Diva Cruz remixes for Björk ft. Rosalía and Röyksopp plus acclaimed solo EPs on Hessle Audio and AD 93. Think breakdance-era energy sound-humour and body-synth mischief. Iris plays like a garden of sonic creatures—synths mimicking bodily sounds chopped-up vocal textures and ‘90s-style chord stabs inspired by Olof’s high school b-boy phase. It’s playful raw and weird in the best way. With over two decades of shapeshifting behind machines and decks Dreijer’s been a force in electronic music—from festival headliners across Europe to pushing the boundaries with his Oni Ayhun alias. He also co-founded Stockholm’s Bamba Club a hub for progressive percussive sounds. Further recent highlights include co-producing tracks on Fever Ray’s latest album producing Houeida Hedfi’s debut LP contributing to projects by Planningtorock and Zhala remixing Nine Inch Nails Röyksopp & Robyn and Emmanuel Jal.
