Sharing a common Scandinavian longing for hot and steamy disco sounds, Bård Aasen Lødemel a.k.a. Skatebård hails from Bergen, Norway. While his first releases in the early 2000s were still heavily influenced by old-school electro, his more recent outings oscillate between synthetic neo-disco and more raw and jacking techno sounds and mostly appear on his own excellent Digitalo label.
The Maxi-Single The Starwatcher EP
was reviewed:
One of the best new disco release we've heard so far this year. Skåtebard hammers down a deep, slower-paced disco monster with an addictive bass line and bleeps, making it impossible not to move your feet.
