Ep. 39 - Joel Mull

Joel Mull Is Saving Swedish Dance Music From It’s EDM-Sullied
Reputation //  As some of the pioneers of the Swedish techno
sound, Joel Mull and friends Adam Beyer and Cari Lekebusch
dominated much of the late-90s scene with unforgiving bangers that
defined the looping minimalism of the era. Today, Mull—the
Stockholm-based DJ and producer—has broadened his palette
considerably, creating various shades of techno for everyone from
Berlin leaders Dystopian to Sasha's Last Night On Earth imprint,
along with his own Parabel label. Though admittedly not as
high-profile as some of his Drumcode peers, Mull is an unsung hero
of many a party across the globe, delivering sets of full-bodied
techno that combine melody and drama with relentless rhythms and
daring experimentation. In other words, everything that will keep
you on the dancefloor hours after it was time to go home. He joined
the Rave Curious podcast this week to chat about his history in
techno, and his home country's musical reputation.
