From his base in London, Helm (Luke Younger) has come to the fore as a crucial voice in experimental music today. With a palette that draws from electronic music in its broadest sense, Helm’s work is marked by the thrilling unknowns of exploratory sound practices, and loaded with a tearaway’s attitude. It’s euphoric, narrative-driven music, but it has its despairing qualities. Helm operates the label \[ALTER]\(https://www.facebook.com/alterstock/), though much of his work has appeared on the highly revered \[PAN]\(https://www.facebook.com/pan.hq/). This includes 2015′s acclaimed album \[\_Olympic Mess\_]\(https://soundcloud.com/pan\_hq/6-helm-olympic-mess), a crowded work of influences set in congested dub.

From Copenhagen, Croatian Amor (Loke Rahbek) operates the label \[posh isolation]\(http://poshisolation.net/), a place of incubation for many artists from across Scandinavian experimental music, including many of his own collaborators. Having recently released \[\_Love Means Taking Action\_]\(https://soundcloud.com/poshisolation/croatian-amor-love-means-taking-action-2), the project’s strongest work to date, in addition to his pivotal performance at Berlin Atonal 2016, Croatian Amor deals with a mixture of fiction and reality, often using real events and places as a platform for a largely fictional play. Locating the critical, razor edge of ambient music, he directs detachment towards universal abstract ends. Voices shudder, and pristine synthesis carries the project along as a kind of alien pop that only just reveals its human hand.
