Vivrant’s fourth release of the year brings the solo debut of Stockholm-based MOLØ. The 25-year-old has cut her teeth on the local underground scene in Stockholm for the last five years, and after her collaboration project ‘Vanadis’ with Jeremy Olander, this highly touted talent is now ready to unveil her solo debut.
Born in 1994 in the Swedish capital to a father who’s regarded as one of the founders of the Stockholm nightlife scene, it may seem as a given MOLØ would follow in her dad’s footsteps. Despite growing up in an apartment stacked from floor to ceiling with vinyl records, it wasn’t until her 20th birthday producing and playing records piqued her interest. After catching the bug, MOLØ’s development and rise through the ranks on the underground scene has been astounding.
After three years of cutting her teeth in the studio and as a selector playing up to five shows weekly at every bar, club, or open-air she could, she caught the eyes and ears of Vivrant founder and melodic house phenom Jeremy Olander and his management in 2018. The team put MOLØ on opening duties at the label’s showcases, and after playing the most buzzed-about set of the night, she was instantly rewarded with residency honors at all his future hometown shows.
Since then, MOLØ has continued to rack up accolades. She became a BURN Residency finalist the same summer and was flown to Ibiza for a month-long camp run by Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Maceo Plex, Luciano, and Jamie Jones. Once back on Swedish soil, she landed a residency at hyped Stockholm club Kvarteret where she set the mood in a masterful way for artists such as Carl Craig, Leon Vynehall, Mano Le Tough and Kornél Kovács.
As the excitement around her artistry intensified, MOLØ embarked on her first tour run across Europe, warming up the floor for the likes of Luciano and Sasha at The Ark Cruise in Ibiza and Culture Box in Copenhagen, as well as playing her first headline slots at Anjunadeep Explorations in Albania and Big Burn Festival in Istanbul.
Her debut project entitled ‘Luma’ EP comes at the hands of more than two years of intense work in the studio, and doesn’t disappoint. The eponymously named lead record ticks all the boxes for a timeless and memorable debut. Atmospheric, thumping, and emotionally charged with a dash of the trademark Scandinavian melancholy, ‘Luma’ transcends genres and introduces a fresh new take on the driving melodic house sound once pioneered by the likes of Guy J, Sasha and John Digweed.
With a level head, humble disposition, and an enigmatic aesthetic, MOLØ is ready to add to Stockholm’s revered lineage of dance music superstars and head towards stratospheric stardom by putting her appearance and sex in the backseat, and her immense talent in the front.
