It’s the contrasts that get you. Sharp edges soft to the touch, like translucent lace on sun-cracked asphalt. For Josefine Hellström, melancholy and euphoria are not opposites — they're inseparable. The enraptured flash when a child finally catches a beautiful butterfly. The wistful moment seconds later when she opens her hands and finds the fragile being lifeless. It’s all there. Josefine Hellström has found a way to capture that duality in her music and in her sets.  Coming from a classical background, Josefine is more interested in tonality and temperament than classifications of sounds. This makes her a highly versatile producer and DJ, mixing different textures of techno with bouncy house, earth-shattering UK bass and rough breakbeats. Old or new, fast or slow - it doesn’t matter as long as it’s music made with passion, soul and energy. This has made Josefine one of the most sought after DJs in the Malmö-Copenhagen region. 
 Josefine Hellström’s first record Water Cave EP (HMWL), released in 2016, was very well received and got tons of spins at clubs and festivals around Europe. Swedish Radio even shortlisted it as ’Best techno of the year’. She is currently collaborating with Danish producer, DJ and good friend Ena Cosovic. Two collaborative EPs are set for release early 2020, as well as a forthcoming solo EP. Words: Björn Jumme
