Atroxity

"Not only is his work bound by a love off of all things electronic, Atroxity’s work is marked by a playfulness, flair for groove and precision beat-work." - Barry Gruff Music Blog

As a fundamentally diverse artist, Atroxity has evolved into a producer and composer of electronica across a multitude of styles. From hard hitting beats and playful arrangements to cinematic themes and ambient landscapes, the many facets are painted with a unique palette from his cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic universe.

Atroxity has been a part of the media industry and the local clubbing scene since the nineties: A radio jockey for almost a decade, a club DJ since the turn of the century. He was the founder and editor-in-chief of "Nattguiden", the main online concert and club culture magazine in Oslo from 1995-2011.

The characteristic sound of his music is a symbiosis of the influences during all these decades: From childhood legends like <a href="spotify:artist:43ZHCT0cAZBISjO8DG9PnE" data-name="Elvis Presley">Elvis Presley</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0oSGxfWSnnOXhD2fKuz2Gy" data-name="David Bowie">David Bowie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5MhLmv7GgyjbxGqiIGasvT" data-name="Jean-Michel Jarre">Jean-Michel Jarre</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5a2EaR3hamoenG9rDuVn8j" data-name="Prince">Prince</a>, the rise of club music in the late eighties (<a href="spotify:artist:6dYrdRlNZSKaVxYg5IrvCH" data-name="The KLF">The KLF</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1G3Eh23f2hwhEnAMw7HsZ6" data-name="Bomb The Bass">Bomb The Bass</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5wnhqlZzXIq8aO9awQO2ND" data-name="Coldcut">Coldcut</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:13jRo2FyagCX9wrKIpOt46" data-name="M/A/R/R/S">M/A/R/R/S</a>), the thriving underground club scenes of the 90s and the house and techno genres that shaped the new century.

Today he finds great inspiration amongst a wide range of his contemporaries, not only within the electronica genres but also contemporary jazz and alternative pop.
