24 year old Jon-Eirik Boska is the latest star to emerge from the new wave of electronic artists coming out of the arctic town of Troms, Northern Norway. Troms has been a stronghold of Norwegian electronic music since the late eighties, spawning artists like Biosphere, Bjorn Torske, Frost, Royksopp, Rune Lindbaek and Mental Overdrive. The later years have seen a new blooming of talent, with artists such as Gaute&Nasra, F.A.C.E., Kaia, Kohib and Le Petit Garcon all emerging from the scene. A drummer by trade but computer geek at heart, Boska always feared his music would sound a bit schitzophrenic, a fear that rather proves to be one of his strongest assets in our opinion. Whilst a jazz student at the local Music Conservatory he began his experiments and improvisations using a computer, a sampler and a wide range of percussion instruments. His own experiments, supported by his research into the vast history of electronic music soon turned into a full-fledged love of the UK dance music scene anno 2008. In Boska's sound of 2011, percussion and found sounds still fight for space in the mix, adding a personal signature to an uplifting combination of dubstep, UK funky, classic techno and modern british house. Boska was first introduced to the world by Love OD Communications with the release of his remix of Mental Overdrive's 'My House' in May 2010. He has since become more and more in demand both as a producer and live performer, with remixes of fellow Norwegians such as Velferd, Kaia, Kohib, Frost and Gaute og Nasra, and convincing live shows at the Insomnia Festival in Troms, Club Transmediale Festival in Berlin and c/o Pop Festival in Cologne. Boska has just been approved for the Red Bull Academy event taking place in Madrid in October, a debut London show is in the planning, and now this - his first original output - soon available through Love OD Communications. We suggest the rest of 2011 holds great promise for this aspiring producer. ...
