harald björk was born and raised in a suburb of Stockholm, surrounded by nature, although the basements of the houses told a different story, harbouring a typically Swedish wealth of budding producers and bands. He first began to make a production name for himself with early releases on Traum Schallplatten, Apparillo Music and Deep Focus, before taking the brave decision to go it alone by founding his own Kranglan Broadcast label in 2009. harald björk's music is a naive and emotional form of melodic minimal techno with a melancholic Scandinavian touch. His hardware-only live set hooks a host of machines up to the mixer in preparation for a journey through melancholic melodics, exploding breaks and motoric beats, with harald as jockey at the helm. His parallel DJ career meanwhile was first embarked upon as a teenager, flirting with hip hop in the days before techno stardom beckoned, eventually evolving towards the modern variant of music-for-dancing-to that we see today. From his Stockholm base, harald continues to perform live and DJ sets across Europe in support of his 'Bigfield' album (a final remix package featuring reworks from Border Community's own kate wax and fairmont and fellow Swede Axel Boman of Pampa and Studio Barnhus fame was released towards the end of 2011). Beyond this we can look forward to plenty more new harald björk material from his Kranglan Broadcast label - such as latest vinyl missive the 'Estelle EP' - as well as the emergence of a pair of remixes of his Swedish pop brethren Gros (for Barcelona's Lapsus label) and Azure Blue (due out on Hybris).
