Eillom

EILLOM is a Swedish techno DJ and producer, whose passion was ignited after attending her first techno party in Gothenburg. “It was a defining moment for me - I got hooked on the heavy kick drums, the vibrating sub-bass and the dreamy dark melodic leads”. Her brand of techno offers dark synth-leads, dreamy arpeggiators, obscure pads over a typical thumping, techno beat – “it could almost be defined as uplifting if it wasn’t so dark!”
With influences such as Adam Beyer, Enrico Sangiuliano and Amelie Lens, her 2am set list is likely to include: Township Rebellion, Mind Against and Tale Of Us; Hidden Empire, Victor Ruiz and some of her own production: https://soundcloud.com/eillommollie
Eillom belongs to two collectives, the female-founded ‘Yoko DJS’ in Sweden https://www.facebook.com/Yoko.DJs/, which provides studio space and workshops for DJs of any gender to hone their skills and collaborate; and in London, she is part of the Ècouter collective, who provide platforms for female artists to showcase their talent - in a bid to break down gender barriers. “I don’t want us to be separated by gender but there aren’t many female DJs around and I want to see more; we need to help each other. I don’t know why there are so few girls; it is a hard industry – But I think that we basically just have to stand up for ourselves and do exactly what we want to do!”
Nina Kraviz being such a pivotal inspiration, Eillom is keen to follow her trailblazing lead and create opportunities, and inspire female DJs to create a more gender-equal underground scene.
