Petter Nordkvist

Real Name:
Petter Nordkvist
Profile:
Petter is a 20 year old DJ and producer from Stockholm in Sweden who is fast forging his own unique niche in the musical spectrum. With only a few releases under his belt, the sublime These Days on Deep Records and the two slices of loveliness-on-vinyl that was his Six Songs EP for Border Community, Petter has won himself fans from all corners, and a more solidly diverse young talent you’d struggle to find.
Petter's music wears its diverse influences on its sleeve, fusing together techno, electro, dub, ambient, acid, breaks and deep house in his own unique style. Sasha is a confirmed follower, recently reviving and remixing ‘These Days’ for his ‘Involver’ compilation, but Petter’s tracks are equally at home in the more offbeat sets of the likes of Laurent Garnier, Josh Wink, Trevor Jackson and The Hacker.
The young Swede is also gaining a bit of a reputation for his own DJ sets, an equally unique hybrid of electro-tinged dubbed-out house and techno. As well as appearances around Stockholm, Petter holds quarterly residencies at Border Community’s label nights at Turnmills in London.

Review by ijustspeak May 15, 2008
Petter is one of the most talented young artists i have heard in these recent times. Of all the producing youngsters out there he is my Number#1 artist right now. All his productions have been ace so far from ambient to breaks and smooth tech-house. He seems to mix up all in one stir with great brilliance. Take a listen to Modern Eternity (one of my faves) from Six Songs EP, it's all in there!. He even master the 303 sounds with huge skills too. I can't name any top tune of his small but brilliant discography because they are all top-notch.
He haven't released a track in 2 years now as i write this. Good move, because i don't want Petter to grind out tracks like John Dahlback- who i long have given up paying attention too.. You loose the edge doing that and burn out quickly.
Meanwhile i will sit and wait for more magic from young Mr. Nordkvist.

One of the most promising producers around today, delivering lush new ideas with every single track that he makes.

Compared to the tiresome german scene, so repeatedly heard on dancefloors for half a decade, this is the more inspirational and soulful music.

Favourite track? Could be Untitled Acid. But... You better start from an end, and go for all of it.
