As one half of The Knife, Olof Dreijer helped create some of the most exciting and unpredictable music the world had heard. Now, ahead of his highly anticipated appearance at The Others Way, we at Flying Out have been playing these two 12" EPs on repeat. The more recent Brujas sees Olof teaming up with Colombian-Swedish force of nature Diva Cruz, whose percussion and voice help make listening to this politically charged set of tunes feel like a thrilling act of defiance. - Flying Out
The Knife’s Olof Dreijer introduces Colombian - Swedish percussionist and DJ Diva Cruz with a new collaborative EP on Dekmantel Records. The 'Brujas' EP follows the debut of their exciting hybrid live show at Sonár Istanbul and ahead of upcoming performances at Sónar Barcelona, Dekmantel, and Øya Festival. Together, opposing patriarchy, racism, colonialism, capitalism, and immigrant challenges, they joined forces in Olof's studio, resulting in the creation of the ‘Brujas’ EP, where Diva debuts her voice. The 'Brujas' single and the entire EP, meaning "Witches" seeks to inspire us to find that powerful ancient energy within ourselves.
