MR. TOPHAT

Born in Sweden in 1990, Rudolf Nordström—better known as Mr. Tophat—has long been a defining force in Stockholm’s electronic music underground. A producer, DJ, and sonic architect, his deep passion for dance music has driven him to create hypnotic, genre-blurring productions that transcend traditional club sounds.

With a history of curating unique musical experiences, Mr. Tophat co-founded the revered Karlovak label with Art Alfie in 2011, a platform for house music built for nights that defy endings. He also helms Junk Yard Connections, established in 2008, a label known for its strictly limited, no repress approach—making each release a sought-after collector’s item.

His solo work has garnered critical acclaim, with both of his solo albums receiving Grammy nominations, a testament to his ability to push the boundaries of electronic music while maintaining a deeply personal and innovative sound. Following the release of "This Is Pop" (PIAS x Twilight Enterprise), he continues to explore new sonic territories, with upcoming music on Karlovak and a highly anticipated new album with Axel Boman, blending dancefloor euphoria with avant-garde textures.

His collaborations span both the mainstream and the underground, having worked with Robyn, Kleerup, XOV, Lune, and Jelly Crystal, among others. He has been spotlighted by major global media outlets, including MTV, New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, and Pitchfork, further cementing his status as a forward-thinking artist with a broad cultural impact.

On stage, Mr. Tophat continues to appear at some of the world’s most intriguing venues and festivals—sometimes in grandiose settings, other times in shadowy, elusive late-night sanctuaries. Whether behind the decks or orchestrating immersive live performances, he remains an unpredictable and compelling force in electronic music.

A 4-year stint in Central America starting 2013 led to affiliation with @thehouseprojectt and dates at most of the region's major clubs and festivals. Over the years, Alex has shared the stage with storied talent such as Onur Ozer, Ian Pooley, John Tejada, Dana Ruh, Tom Ellis, and Adam Collins (Omni A.M.) along with new school luminaries like Francesco del Garda, DJ Masda, Binh, Laurine & Cecilio, Nicolas Lutz, Raphael Carrau, Quest, Brasi, Giammarco Orsini, Z@P, Cristian Sarde, Cosmic JD, Sibil, Truly Madly, Hamish & Toby, Harry McCanna, John Dimas, Oshana, Nicola Cruz...

Such experiences are leading to a constant evolution in his musical depth and have bolstered his ability to comfortably combine trippy with techy, dreamy with drummy, heady with house.
