Gidge
Göteborg
Gidge, the duo consisting of Jonatan Nilsson and Ludvig Stolterman, is rooted in the city of Umeå, Sweden. Their electronic music is shaped by field-recordings of nature and is both comfortable on the dance floor and in a more relaxing environment. Each and every Gidge track creates its own sense of atmosphere and emotion. Their work evolves naturally, often building to powerful peaks from a silent break that is tweaked with vocal samples and neo-classical influences.
While being adored for the inspiration that is drawn from the forest, nature, and the north of Sweden, the music of Gidge has in fact been of an absolute international caliber and is listened to by people from all over the world. Gidge sold out club-tour shows in London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Stockholm, and played their live-set to crowds on festivals in Mexico, Georgia, Turkey, and Thailand. Blogs such as Pigeons & Planes, A Closer Listen, and Ransom Note wrote about their music – Pitchfork staffers chose Gidge amongst their favorite artists to listen to on snowy days.
