Nordic Beats Season 1 Full Episode Guide
The electronic dance music sounds very much Miami and Ibiza, so how is it that we northerners are so successful in creating music for the dance floor? We live closer to the Arctic Circle than the Mediterranean Sea. And is there a Nordic sound? We intend to delve into that together with the Nordic artists Yotto, Kiasmos, Lindstrøm and Röyksopp.

While the Nordic countries vote on the EU, there is one Euro that everyone says yes to: Eurodiscon. Because go to any country disco in the 90s and you probably won't find anyone dancing to techno. In contrast to E-Type, Whigfield, Darude or Aqua.
While the adult world is trying to stamp out rave culture, it is also creating new ground-breaking music producers. Although Nordic artists such as Cari Lekebusch, Jimi Tenor and Adam Beyer are unknown faces, their names are respected in club music to this day. Another Nordic artist who ran on raves was Björk Guðmundsdóttir from Iceland. It was the starting point for a solo career, a new musical direction and a unique icon that cannot be compared with anyone else from the Nordics during the 90s, if even today.
When the 80s turn into the 90s, you dance all night in warehouses and the woods in the Nordics without permission. The police appoint rave commissions to stop the dancing. But without success. There is dancing all night in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki. But also in a city north of the Arctic Circle where a techno scene should never have been possible. It was just that no one told the young people in Tromsö. This would be the start of the modern Nordic dance music saga.
