Røyksopp
Real Name:
Torbjørn Brundtland, Svein Berge
Profile:
Norwegian electronic producer duo
Their name Röyksopp, derived from Norwegian "røyksopp", translates into English as "puffball". This type of mushroom is notable for the misty cloud created when it releases its spores.
There is also an obvious hallucinogenic double meaning to the name.
Also, "Eple" from the first album translates to English as Apple.

The perfect alchemy between atmospheres and "electronicity", the ability of synthesize pure emotions in the notes of an arpeggio. Their tracks are all made of this, drops of pure electronica, like a hot chocolate for your deeper soul, it makes you feel SUCH better!!!..
I don't know how to describe these 2 norwegian guys and their music in human words: they're awesome, dreamy, catchy, groovy, absolutely new, experimental, rhytmically uncorrect but perfect. That's the genre i'd listen again and again, singing, crying and dancing. (but maybe i'm just crazy?)
Thank you Röyksopp for how you've struck the musical world with your ideas...keep on inventing.
