    Default swedish techno

    patrick skoog, hardcell, johan bacto, henrik b, carl lekebush, thomas krome, adam beyer, etc, etc, etc

    why are their so many shit hot techno producers from sweden? im led to believe that the techno scene in sweden is almost non-existant, so why so many top class techno producers? i dont think sweden has a wealth of top producers in any other genre, so why techno? is their something special about sweden that inspires such great techno?

    just curious to see what theory's you can come up with, is their anyone from sweden who regulary posts on here? and is anyone else a big fan of the swedish sound?

    Yeah I think this is a kind of unanswered question, I guess they are a small dedicated group of people who happen to be very good at what they do. The success of Beyer,Lekebusch, Mull etc. rubbed off on the new wave a lot, and now there is a big community of producers from there releasing great techno..

    he used to be Slobodan, in case you didn't already know. Tobias Von Hofsten is another wicked producer, his site is pretty good ... http://www.illegal-sthlm.nu/

    I can see where this thread is going to become a debate on how swedish techno sucks or not...but I hope it stays as positive as possible.

    First off, I feel the success and quality of the music driven by the producers sticking together. Take the current crop of swedish producers, a lot of them are close friends. These guys can stick together and push each other further and further. They help each other out, give each other tips, etc. The same thing has also happened with the italians. I think the reason they are so successful is that they stick together and push each other.

    I am a fan of the swedish sound, and theres quite a few producers coming up who are great.

    Among others who deserve to be listed are grovskopa and archae, hertz, per mikael, mhonolink, and so many more.

    I heard they actually give students a crash course on midi music in school, can anyone verify that this is true? No matter the case...sure its drummy music, sure its repetitive, sure its moody, synthy, whatever...but I totally dig it.

    I agree with Zahn rock.
    They probably all sit there and compare software and hardware notes together.
    They aren't out to one up the next man.
    They collaborate and push each other forward instead of knocking the other down.
    I may not like everything from them granted but they are a talented bunch.

    Steffan Ehrilin is Slobodan, his brother was in ( and probably still is ) in Headroom, cannot belive no one mentioned Joel Mull...

    Yeah was asking someone about this and all Swedish students have to take music in school ( this and having one of the best software writing groups in the world " Propellerheads" for Reason)

    Par Grindvig being another one, Arche and Grovskopa touch of class...


    And as well the have the Rave police ( its a commission that if you want to have rave dance type event you have to get the go ahead from them...)

    that and the government sells beer...

    Maybe that is the reason? Because of the non-existant scene everyone has adopted a DIY-attitude.

    niklas holmqvist is one to watch too..

    i have actually posed this question to a couple of the swedes and they tell me its cos its so damn cold they all just want to stay in the warm and tweak thier knobs - coupled with the fact that the scene has been crushed by the super-strict rozzers so as buttman says, DIY..

    It's getting a little better. Though americans claim they help push each other, its surprising when they actually do.

    As for the scene, yes its a shame...strict government.

    Glenn Wilson had a fair hand in the getting the swedish thing going aswell if im not mistaken, i think he lived there and started a record shop there, and released some of Beyer and Co's earlier work?

    anyway, i quite like the swedish sound. There are some really good producers, my faves being Patrik Skoog, Par Grindvik, Slobodan and Hardcell. Especially Hardcell and Skoog tho.
