Motormännen

Informationstechno from a Sweden of the past, filtered through retro-futuristic incredulity. Motormännen make techno and acid based on samples from politicians, news clips and Christer Glenning from the end of the cold war era. 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 morose take on culture and society through late 20th century history.

Motormännen released their debut album “Informationstechno” on cassette in 2014 and has since followed up with two critically acclaimed LP’s and a number of EP’s and singles on Lamour Records. They have twice been nominated for best Swedish dance album of the year at Manifestgalan. In 2016 they released a remix album with edits by prominent Swedish techno outfits such as Manic Brothers and Nima Khak.
