Emerging from Stockholm, Obergman has carved out a respected space within the world of electronic music over the past two decades. He has become synonymous with a signature blend of electro, acid, and proto-techno, which he has meticulously crafted through releases on some of the most respected labels in the genre.
Swedish producer Ola Obergman has been at the top of his game for over 20 years now, dropping superb electro on the finest labels. Last year he dropped a fantastic full-length album on Pariter, but now steps up to Infiltrate with a direct dance floor offering. ‘Norma Cluster’ pairs busy drums and bass with more atmospheric leads before ‘Invariant Hyperbola’ has a perfectly crisp boom-bap that is run through with synth sequences that get your head amongst the stars. ‘Sterile Neutrino’ is more raw and ragged with another irresistible rhythm and ‘Dragonfly44’ closes in a thoughtful fashion.
Swedish label Stilleben hits the not-so-insignificant milestone of 60 releases with this new EP from Obergman. He is a veteran of the global electro underground and shows off his skills here with some bumping 808-based electro-techno fusion cuts. They are brilliantly muscular and well-defined tunes with irresistibly bumping baselines, slapping hits and mystic synth work that brings the cosmic vibes. ‘Akrobahn’ is an eerie opener and things remain deep and mysterious with ‘Hermispherical Transmission’. The flip side offers more powerful and propulsive jams in the form of ‘Photometry’ and ‘Vaterloos.’
Third full-length album of veteran Swedish producer Ola Obergman. A heavy collection of 808 based electro-techno fusion tracks in classic Pariter style.
Obergman returns to brokntoys for a second emission after his celebrated Quantum Eraser, released in 2017. Over 6 tracks the Swedish producer delivers a set of icey, stirring workouts primed for the dancefloor.

Ola Bergman with a impressive album under his alias ‘Obergman’. 8 tracks of perfectly executed acid and electro bombs.
Ola Bergman returns on Luke Eargoggle’s excellent Stilleben label. The four tracks he’s delivered are as strong as you’d expect, with the veteran Swedish producer choosing to flit between cuts built around druggy, Italo-disco style arpeggio basslines, and more electro-framed workouts. Such is the quality of material on show that picking highlights is tough, though we’re particularly enjoying the gently intergalactic positivity of basement chugger “Fibonacci Horizon”, the Drexciya-influenced outer-space electro weightiness of “Olympus Mons” and the hazy “Pyroclastic Flow”, where lilting, “Selected Ambient Works” style chords and melodies ride a muscular, all-action dark Italo groove.
Another excursion for the genre independent Borft label. Celebrated artist Obergman delivers a six tracker record for fans of acid and electro. The release is initiated with the drexciyan styled electro track “Germination” with occasional strings that brings some light in the atmosphere of desolate landscapes, followed by the groovy electrotech melodic track “Unexpected Connection” The acid techno workout “Acid Healing” slowly builds with sweet melodic strings into floorfilling potential while the B-side begins with “Inflatable”. A Bass ridden driving acid techno track with ominous melodic stabs that works well when doing a build-up mix into more frenzy territory. The b2 track “Greenglow” explores rocking acid lines bonded by delicate smooth detroit styled strings. Last track of the record, “Universal Hologram”, is a strong beautiful electro track with great electric pulses, melancholic atmosphere and subtle strings.
BT08 brings back Obergman to brokntoys after his appearance on the Guests of Reality compilation. The Stockholm based producer showcases here his trademark sound, off-key driving excursions complemented by an icy beatless number.
The latest release on Abstract Forms finds Swedish electro purist Ola Bergman return for a second offering in his ongoing series of Multiverse releases as Obergman, having inaugurated proceedings with Cyclic Multiverse back in March. Much like that seven track set, there is much for fans of minimal machine funk to savour on Quilted Multiverse, and Bergman uses the album format to really showcase his full production palette. So whilst opener “Resemblance” or “Supersymmetry” are classic jittering electro with subaqueous textures and rippling rhythms, Bergman also indulges his more bugged out side on “Alkaline”, “Coma Cluster” and the rhythmically interesting “Gravitational Collapse”.
Mid-paced, fresh ‘n’ funky electro gear on this eight track EP from Swedish artist, Obergman. All very nicely produced while maintaining the quirky factor throughout which results in an EP that gels perfectly from start to finish and a respectable follow-up to the recnt DMX Krew release on Abstract Forms.
