Stavöstrand, the founder of Mitek, has been featured as a key figure of the Swedish electronic music scene for his unique interpretations of club techno as well as for producing some of the most essential experimental electronic music of the past year. Over the past years has he performed in North America, Europe and Japan. Stavöstrand mixes deconstructed sounds with funky little beats to create minimal dance textures. On his debut album on Force Inc., ''Reduce'', swarms of glitches, crackles and skips infiltrate the 4/4 drive formula of minimal techno. As Vita, his ''Vita'' 12'' on Force Inc. imprint Force Labs was to meet critical praise and became one of the best selling releases with its digitalized organic groove. The last years he has been playing live around the globe, for example Mutek in Canada and in Mexico, Japan, and all over Europe. At the moment he is working on different collaboration, as the Luus project together with Johan Fotmeijer, deep minimal techno with a melodic touch, Skugge&Stavöstrand, and the Bulgur Brothers together with Johan Skugge and Andreas Tilliander. All of these projects will have new Ep's out during the fall. For the spring 2006 is planned solo records on Contexterrior and Mitek, a new Vita record and some other goodies.
