Q&A: Pär Grindvik Talks Life in Berlin, his Berghain Routine and more
One of Berghain’s more frequent acts is a Swedish producer, DJ, label-head and father of three children named Pär Grindvik. Now a resident of Berlin, Pär has been a pivotal figure of his home country’s electronic and techno scene since the mid-’90s, with acclaimed releases on a string of widely-popular labels such as Drumcode, Semantica, Marbacka, Sinister, Dystopian and of course his very own Stockholm LTD.
Pär launched the label in 2002, originally intended as an outlet for Swedish artists to release singles and EPs. While the imprint’s repertoire has since expanded, the focus has remained on quality and timeless electronic productions. 2016 saw the producer release his first LP on the label, Isle of Real, to great reception from industry peers and fans alike, while so far this year he has already played gigs in Germany, South Korea and China, with a visit to Stereo Montreal in the cards for the 24th of February.
We talked with Pär to discuss his life in Berlin, routine for Berghain gigs and more.
