DJ and producer Åsmund Boye Kverneland aka Copyflex started Copia Doble Systema in Copenhagen, Denmark 2009, heavily taken by the digital cumbia that fused electronic music and local beats of South America. By slowing down techno and adding cumbia loops, we I really felt at home. The first crew was consisting of Copyflex and danish producer Jens Fokking.

We quickly started to produce and do shows in larger and smaller constellations, sometimes as a trio, and maxing it with an orchestra of 11 people! Now we're doing shows all over the world with different collaborators. Our range of venues goes from squats, block parties and glitzy clubs in Cairo to the Royal Library in Copenhagen. Everybody needs the vikingo cumbia! So far Copia Doble Systema has managed to play countless indoor and outdoor events in Denmark, some of the best ones being the Distortion Festival (Copenhagen), Roskilde Festival Camping Area and R.A.W. shows.  We have also been overseas! Magic moments at the Notting Hill Carnival (London), in Hanoi, Caracas, Stavanger, Malmö, Wales and the Faroese Islands.

Copia Doble Systema is now getting support from major players like Diplo (Mad Decent, Major Lazer), Gilles Peterson (BBC), El Hijo De La Cumbia (Bersa Discos), Dj Sinden (Grizzly, Domino, KissFM), Toy Selektah (Mad Decent), Villa Diamante (ZZK) and Schlachthofbronx (Man Recordings, Disco B) amongst others.

We are also very proud to (have) work(ed) with great artists such as Fauna, El Hijo De La Cumbia, Douster, Dj Mouse, Boody B, El Remolon, Dj Hvad, System, Mo Fire, Doma Tornados, dj/Rupture, MAFFI, Uproot Andy, Schlachthofbronx and many more.
