Rein, the stage name of Joanna Reinikainen, is a Swedish electronic musician who has been making waves in the music scene with her fierce and uncompromising sound. Emerging in the mid-2010s, Rein quickly made a name for herself with her dynamic blend of electro and EBM (Electronic Body Music), infused with a punk attitude and politically charged lyrics that take a critical stance towards societal issues. Her self-titled debut EP, released in 2016, established her as a force to be reckoned with in the Swedish music industry and garnered attention on an international level.
Drawing from the gritty roots of the underground and the pulsating energy of dance music, Rein's discography is a testament to her ability to evolve and push boundaries. Albums like "REINCARNATED," with its raw vocal delivery and industrial soundscapes, and "DYSTOPIA," which delves deep into themes of authoritarianism and control, showcase her talent for creating both intellectually stimulating and physically compelling music. The "Reincarnated Dub Mixes, Vol. 1" displays Rein's ability to reinterpret her work through a different sonic lens, proving her versatility as an artist. Singles like "C.A.P.I.T.A.L.I.S.M" and "Electric," along with the defiantly titled "I Don't Get Anything but Shit from You," are emblematic of her edgy style and revolutionary spirit—a spirit that continues to resonate deeply with fans of alternative electronic music. Rein's emergence is not only a breath of fresh air in the scene but also a rallying cry for a new generation of listeners hungry for music with a message.
