A selection of tracks by this icelandic electronic producer and founding member of the Thule record label

Biogen’s a different kind of musician, always travelling the road less trodden. All law’s broken - no chords, no build-ups and no traditional drum patterns. Instead Biogen offers listener’s fragmented shredding’s, constant irritations, glitches, imbalance—and enough creative ideas to supply a whole battalion of electronic musicians. His works are full of contrast. Occasionally soft and mellow - like a cloud in trousers - Biogen would call that “sofa-trance”. Other times the music’s harsh and uncompromising with uncomfortable, irrational beats and glitches - “Weird-core” - a vast uncharted territory. Some might be tempted to connect the contrast and contradictions in his music to his long battle with manic-depressive disorder. But the disparity in his music is its strength, confounding and delighting the listener.
