Biography

Motormännen make information techno infused with an air of Swedish nostalgia through a filter of retro-futuristic skepticism. The music is packed with minimal acid loops and samples with excerpts from Swedish politicians, documentaries and Christer Glenning, reflecting on times when the cold war and the traditional welfare state were dissolving. Inhibitions were relaxed and new, foreign influences crept into the body of society and the old information monopolies. Motormännen’s tracks are visually enhanced by video material from the 1970’s and 80’s. Firmly rooted in the underground of the Swedish techno scene, the band has still managed to reach outside the usual sphere with their ironic yet morose take on culture and society through history. Motormännen released their debut album “Informationstechno” on cassette in 2014, which was nominated for best Swedish dance album of the year at Manifestgalan 2015. Since then, the band has received great attention from Swedish radio and released a remix album with edits by prominent Swedish techno outfits such as Manic Brothers and Nima Khak.
