Episode 1 • Jun 13, 2023
När rejv kom till byn
When the 80s turn into the 90s, you dance all night in warehouses and the woods in the Nordics without permission. The police appoint rave commissions to stop the dancing. But without success. There is dancing all night in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki. But also in a city north of the Arctic Circle where a techno scene should never have been possible. It was just that no one told the young people in Tromsö. This would be the start of the modern Nordic dance music saga.
Episode 2 • Jun 13, 2023
Pionjärer och ikoner
While the adult world is trying to stamp out rave culture, it is also creating new ground-breaking music producers. Although Nordic artists such as Cari Lekebusch, Jimi Tenor and Adam Beyer are unknown faces, their names are respected in club music to this day. Another Nordic artist who ran on raves was Björk Guðmundsdóttir from Iceland. It was the starting point for a solo career, a new musical direction and a unique icon that cannot be compared with anyone else from the Nordics during the 90s, if even today.
Episode 3 • Jun 13, 2023
Ja till euron!
While the Nordic countries vote on the EU, there is one Euro that everyone says yes to: Eurodiscon. Because go to any country disco in the 90s and you probably won't find anyone dancing to techno. In contrast to E-Type, Whigfield, Darude or Aqua.
Episode 4 • Jun 13, 2023
Det coola Norden
In the early 2000s, something happens. The eyes of the dance world are directed towards the Nordic countries. Specifically to Bergen in Norway. Röyksopp and Annie mean that Bergen is described as "the new New York" in the world's trend-sensitive music magazine. And the electronic, danceable and not infrequently melancholic pop spills over into the neighboring countries with artists such as The Knife, Robyn and GusGus.
Episode 5 • Jun 13, 2023
Den nya rockstjärnan
For a long time, the Nordic DJ was an anonymous and faceless figure. Until three Swedes poured pyrotechnics and confetti over all the rules and turned the DJ into a rock star. Swedish House Mafia put DJs on the world's biggest stages with the most spectacular shows. Followers soon followed, such as Swedish Avicii, Kygo and Alan Walker in Norway.
Episode 6 • Jun 13, 2023
Ljudet av Norden
The electronic dance music sounds very much Miami and Ibiza, so how is it that we northerners are so successful in creating music for the dance floor? We live closer to the Arctic Circle than the Mediterranean Sea. And is there a Nordic sound? We intend to delve into that together with the Nordic artists Yotto, Kiasmos, Lindstrøm and Röyksopp.
