Johan Skugge (SE)
After his debut on Source Records last year, Johan Skugge, the B-Boy of
the swedish electronica scene, has shifted his attention towards a more
dance-oriented area of electronics. As before, his music is a fine mix
of the three elements his work is built on: dub, drone and groove. His
goal is to make contemporary city music with the spirit of jamaican dancehalls
and the sweet sounding groove of funk.
Skugge is also a member of the electronic blues group Harlem, who will
release their first album in february 2003 on their own label Gramme.
Skugge, as well as Harlem, works in Kolsyrefabriken in Stockholm, a closed
down factory building they share with some of the most interesting artists
and musicians of the swedish underground.
Later this year a 12" in collaboration with Mitek founder Mikael Stavöstrand
will be released on the new spanish label Klitekture.
