About

Skatebård used to be raving on his own with his walkman in Norwegian forests during the 90s before he became a producer of retro-futuristic disco, house, and techno.

Hailing from a town called Ørsta on the west coast, Bård moved to Bergen in the year 2000, where he quickly became part of the town’s growing club scene.

After handing over a homemade demo to Tellé Records label boss Mikal Telle, Bård was signed to offshoot label Tellektro in 2001.

His first release under the name of Skatebård, a concise vinyl-only album called Skateboarding Was a Crime (In 1989), was released in 2002, and slowly but surely Skatebård’s reputation started spreading beyond Norway’s borders.

Throughout his impressive career of releasing five albums and more than twenty 12-inches, he has steadily carved out his own corner of dance music with a unique flair. Traversing a range of seemingly disparate genres and emotions comes incredibly naturally to the
Norwegian artist, whose music oscillates between Italo disco and raw Detroit infused house and techno. With an enviably eclectic collection of the mastery to navigate it seamlessly, Skatebård’s DJ sets offer exploratory excursions through the unknown and unexpected. From festival mainstages to intimate clubnights, Boiler Rooms and radio shows, Skatebård has captivated audiences across the globe, performing at many of electronic music’s most revered institutions.

The dynamic scope of Skatebård’s artistry extends to his work in the studio. Spanning over two decades, his impressive discography is dispersed across labels including his own Digitalo Enterprises, Sex Tags Mania and Bordello A Parigi. With a knack for balancing kitsch with elegance, Skatebård creates music that exudes an air of nonchalant fun..
