About

Born 1977 in Örebro, Sweden, 'The Outsider' bought his first pair of Technics at the age of 14 to pursuit his love for Hip Hop. It didn't take long before he got so influenced by this music and the culture surrounding it that he decided to move to the US (Hip Hop had yet to arrive in any serious form to Sweden at this time). At the age of 16, 'The Outsider' bought a one way ticket to Columbus, Ohio, where he had been offered to play on local radio station "KBUX 91.1". With the exposure from the radio and a reputation for fast and accurate mixing, 'The Outsider' soon began to play at various parties. Being in Ohio, it didn't take long before he was introduced to the futuristic sounds coming from the neighbouring state of Michigan, mainly Detroit, and the Hip Hop vinyl was soon to give space for House and Techno. 'The Outsider' spent 3 years playing parties on the east coast of America alongside names such as Christian Smith and Alexi Delano with some of the highlights included gigs at the legendary "Phryl" events in Toronto and upstate New York_

When the NY scene gradually began to fade after the mid nineties, 'The Outsider' decided to move back to Europe in 1997 with his aim set on London. Once there, he quickly got back into broadcasting and began co-hosting a world renowned electronic music show on "Interface Radio" alongside Alan Ritchie. Guests included such names as Adam Beyer, Ben Sims, Billy Nasty, Joel Mull, Transparent Sounds and Mark Broom. With the success from the radio show under his belt, 'The Outsider' began to play various clubs and parties in London and in August 2000 he started his own weekly house night at "Plus-Minus" in Old Street. At this point he had also been resident DJ at the huge "Gattaca" warehouse parties for over a year and was playing regularly at Carl Cox's "Ultimate B.A.S.E." nights at "The Velvet Rooms" and at "The End" alongside Carl Cox, Trevor Rockcliffe, Jim Masters, Colin Dale and Jamie Anderson_

In 2002, 'The Outsider' became the first international DJ's to play in Kosovo since the war had ended. This year also brought along two trips to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where one of 'The Outsider's' DJ mixes had been voted mix of the year on Anderson Noise's "Radio Noise". It was also around this time that he teamed up with Swedish techno producer Christopher Benjamin to form a live act. The highlight of this collaboration was playing "Bugged Out" with Mr C and Tom Middleton. With the closure of Interface Radio in 2003, 'The Outsider' briefly moved over to "Groovetech Radio" before settling at the current home of "Frequency Radio". Here he has complete musical freedom, broadcasting his massive 5 hour "Regenerate" show every wednesday alongside a steady stream of international guests DJ's. 'The Outsider' has played in many European countries including Sweden, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Portugal and is currently busy organizing his monthly night "The Drop" alongside Chris Finke and Margovan at "Bar 54" in East London_
