I’ve never really thought of Scandinavia having a unique sound. If I had to point out a significant movement, though, the melancholic amalgam of techno and house seems to drive a lot of upcoming producers these days. Of course, referencing Trentemoller as a source of inspiration seems obvious (and clichéd by now), but turn you head and you’ll see the flock of upcoming artists ready to take over the scene.
Mislyd is an excellent example of the amount of talent just waiting to get played out. I love how they blend very organic sounds into their processed beats to create a striking mood; danceable enough to keep you moving and intelligent enough to keep you listening even when the lights go back on. Shout outs to Regnsky for providing a in-depth summary of Mislyd’s EP, which you can also download from their site. Admittedly, it’s in Danish, but take my word for it; it’s good.
Photographic high five: booooooom
