Elektrisk Gønner

Even before it’s initial inception, the spirit of Elektrisk Gønner has existed in Benjamin <a href="spotify:artist:3Zi3mQGMCwa8i7W0Vmupgw" data-name="Løzninger">Løzninger</a> &#39;s multifaceted projects. He grew up in France with a French father playing guitar in obscure punk combos and a mother singing and playing ukelele in a punk choir. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Nick Drake, The Grateful Dead, Blondie and The Clash provided his nightly lullabies. This wide spectrum of influence shaped and made an impact on young Benjamin that would leave an imprint on all of his projects through to the current incarnation of Elektrisk Gønner.
Elektrisk Gønner was officially born in 2010 when Løzninger discovered online a young unknown Danish singer named MØ. Before ever meeting face-to-face, the two completed an album in 12 days and were united for the first time only three days before their first show at Les Eurockéennes, one of the biggest French music festivals. They proceeded to tour the world, had a music video go viral and were featured on Sci-Fi’s Lost Girl, HBO’s Girls and CSI. Soon after, MØ signed to Sony and started singing for Diplo and Major Lazer, while Benjamin found his new partner, Skyler Cocco, in Brooklyn, where he now works and lives. They started recording together and the new Elektrisk Gønner adventures begun to take off.
