Rivet

Rivet’s debut album On Feather and Wire was released 20 years into his career at the end of 2020 on the revered Editions Mego label. It surprised and delighted with its punk spirit, industrial pulse, sensual atmospherics, and body music flavor, giving us a better sense of what the Malmö favorite is capable of. Hinted at by his work as the body music enthusiast behind Kess Kill record label and the years honing his production skills, first as Grovskopa and then as Rivet, his current sound has a sophisticated slink and a surprisingly accessible twist of pop, while still recognizable in its dance music lineage.

Winter 2023 saw Rivet’s second album L+P-2 dropped on Midnight Shift Records, with Resident Advisor calling it, “A touching and occasionally searing portrait of grief through the lens of post-punk techno.” It came with accompanying remixes by artists Hodge, Nik Void, Hüma Utku as well as other friends and s.
In 2023, he worked with electronic musician and composer Luis Pestana and double-bassist Gregory Vartian-Foss for a special SHAPE+/INTONAL Festival commission and performance.

Always working, Rivet's third album Peck Glamour, due on Editions MEGO in march 2025, recognizes his dancefloor roots. But his other big release for 2025 is as a producer and mixer of Sandwell District’s new album End Beginnings due the same month.
