Per Hammar Talks Us Through 8 Years of Kiloton
Parties, naturally, are at the heart of electronic music culture. So much more than a setting for great music, parties are where friendships blossom, lifelong partnerships are made and a place where the daily grind of life can be temporarily forgotten for a couple of hours each weekend.
In a new series for 6AM, we gather up a bunch of influential DJs and give them an opportunity to wax lyrical about the parties that have influenced them the most. For our inaugural edition, we got in touch with Per Hammar, a Sweden-born, Berlin-based DJ/producer who runs two labels, Dirty Hands and 10YEARS, but also helms the Kiloton party in Malmö, Sweden, a party that has featured international guests such as Bicep and Nina Kraviz as well as local talent such as Genius of Time, Abdulla Rashim and Mr. Tophat & Art Alfie.
With the label celebrating 8 years this weekend (with Hammar playing alongside Noha and longtime Kiloton party affiliate Kajsa Lindström), out timing couldnât have been more better. Weâll leave it to Per to take it from here, as he talks us through his history with the party and also picks a definitive track for each year of Kiloton.
