It cannot be ignored any longer; Sweden is a hotbed of house music talent. The land of tall, leggy blondes and enviable healthcare has been turning out some of the worlds most innovative producers for a number of years now, and it is with pleasure that we present the latest addition to this geographical phenomenon. John Dahlbacks superlative-ridden but undeniably true summary is enough to make you sick; clever, musically sophisticated, innovative, youngshall we go on?
John Dahlback is big news; at just 24 he is already a seasoned producer whos achievements include two albums under his belt, his own record label Pikadoll, numerous heavy productions and an enviable international touring history. As a producer he is constantly evolving his sound, more interested in the development of his music than promoting the lifestyle of an over hyped DJ.
His philosophy behind what he does is honest and refreshingly simple. Im quite calm when I DJ. I dont want to be showy I love to play for dancing people, to really see them loving the tunes. And I love to make the tunes that get them dancing
So far so good, as Johns music has that undeniable quality that simply demands to have your attention. This quest for quality has led to his next venture, the formation of a new label - Mutants - based in the UK that would allow him to showcase his own work and the work of others producers that inspired him.
I will be releasing my own stuff through Mutants as well as the other artists tracks, and that could be anyone. If you were to send me a track and I liked it and it had the Mutants feeling then I could release it. It doesnt have to come from the hottest artists of the moment.
The first release on this new label is an album of the same name. Mutants is a collection of Johns biggest and most personal moments in his career so far, showcasing his unique sound and style and incorporating pure house through to electro, techno and progressive.
From the head pounding electro fests of Blink and Everywhere (both of which have received millions of YouTube views) through the building, progressive nature of Hustle Up to his absurdly hooky latest single Bingo, its a carefully considered, meticulously polished album of unparalleled finesse.
Hustle Up, Blink and Everywhere have been my biggest tracks in my career. Each of them has meant a lot to my personal style of productions.
With the release of this album and more projects in the pipeline John Dahlback is set to become one of dance musics brightest talents.
