Acting

Johan Lundgren

From the Swedish forests of Karlskoga comes producer Johan Lundgren. His debut EP YSTER showcases his incredible production skills with a progressive sound that will set the tone for electronic music in 2018. Though he had half a lifetime of producing and songwriting behind him, a solo debut was never a topic of discussion until he completely changed his lifestyle by leaving Sweden for living in different parts of the world a few years ago. The change of environment and the limited musical equipment he could bring with him became a way to challenge himself. “I only had my laptop, a cheap microphone, and a keyboard to come with me, but as it turns out, it was all I needed.” YSTER is a dark 5-track collection of songs pushing boundaries between dance, electronica, and chillwave. Johan explains the sound progression during his travels and his current residency in London. “As I’ve been a stranger visiting for a while now, I soon realised that the feeling of something foreign would evolve into a calm sense of home wherever I settled down. I think you can hear these transitions on my EP.”
