Growing up in a theatrical & musical family, Albin was 14 when he started making music. By 15, he'd honed his DJ skills on a set of technics 1210’s residing in a friend's garage, and he was soon out playing small clubs in Stockholm. Says Albin, "I was really honoured that David and Erick called me direct as they liked my stuff, it was a more personal way to talk through ideas." But it was remixing John Dahlbäck's track, "Hustle Up", that had the biggest impact on Albin's work. "I was a huge fan of John," says Albin," so I jumped at the chance to remix a track for him. Then I moved into the same recording studios as him and we started working on a track together. The project just gathered steam and now we have two US tours under our belts..."
Albin's solo work continues to break new ground, with original productions for Joia, Mutants and Defected, and his own fledgling label, Soundtrack of the Living Dead, so called because "I’m a horror movie fan!" Expect a host of Albin's new productions and remixes, new MyBack tracks, and new producers and talents that Albin uncovers in 2011.
About his style, Albin says “I guess my own music is semi commercial because house music is so big worldwide, but I’m not trying to be in any particular genre, I just want to make music because it’s fun. The record that got my name out there was my cover of a Foo Fighters track called ‘Times Like These’, which got massive support from all the big DJs, but ultimately I just try to find the right ingredients to make a good club track. My aim is to make club music, so if it rocks the dancefloor then I’m happy.”
Renowned for his energetic DJ style, Albin has had a chance to test his works-in-progress over weekends at far-flung locations before heading back to the studio in the week. His favourite spots are as diverse as the Sunburn festival in India and Sankey’s in Manchester, but for the same reason: “the crowd is really up for house music, the people are crazy – hands in the air from 1am to 5am!”
