Bjarki – Oli Gumm

Review: Bjarki’s brief career has been both prolific and precocious. The Icelandic electronic musician first broke through in 2015, at the age of 24, with a two-track 12” on the Russian DJ Nina Kraviz’ label. The record—a coiled, peak-time techno banger backed by a slice of after-hours gloom—was well received, but that’s true of dozens, maybe hundreds of similar debuts in the techno scene, year in and year out.
