Bård Aasen Lødemel, alias Skatebård, fattet interesse for techno og rave på 90-tallet, før han ble produsent av retrofuturistisk disco, house og techno.

Lødemel fra Ørsta ble raskt en del av Bergens voksende klubbmiljø etter å ha flyttet dit i 2000, og etter kort tid var han også signet på Tellés underlabel Tellektro. Hans første utgivelse under navnet Skatebård, et konsist album kalt Skateboarding Was a Crime (I 1989), ble utgitt (kun på vinyl) i 2002, og sakte men sikkert begynte Skatebårds rykte å spre seg utover Norges grenser.

Gjennom en imponerende karriere, fem album og mer enn tjue tolvtommere, har han jevnt og trutt laget seg en egen nisje og en helt unik stil, der en blanding av tilsynelatende forskjellige sjangre og stemninger faller seg helt naturlig. Musikken pendler mellom italo-disco og rå, Detroit-inspirert house og techno. Med en misunnelsesverdig eklektisk samling, og en evne til å navigere sømløst i den, byr Skatebårds DJ-sett på spennende utflukter i det ukjente og uventede. Han balanserer kitch med raffinement og eleganse, og resultatet er alltid livsbejaende, nonsjalant moro.

A surreal blend of psych rock and soulful house.
This flip reimagines Take My Hand by Matt Berry with a psychedelic soul guitar & bass sample, layered over a live drum loop and punchy 4x4 house rhythm. The vocals float above it all — warm, textured, and hypnotic.

Bård Aasen Lødemel, aka Skatebård, got into techno and rave during the '90s before he became a producer of retro-futuristic disco, house, and techno. 
Hailing from a town called Ørsta on the Norwegian west coast, Lødemel moved to Bergen in the year 2000, where he quickly became part of the town's growing club scene. 
After handing over a homemade demo to Tellé Records label boss Mikal Telle, Lødemel was signed to offshoot label Tellektro in 2001. 
His first release under the name of Skatebård, a concise vinyl-only album called Skateboarding Was a Crime (In 1989), was released in 2002, and slowly but surely Skatebård's reputation started spreading beyond Norway's borders. 
Throughout his impressive career of releasing five albums and more than twenty 12-inches, he has steadily carved out his own corner of dance music with a unique flair. Traversing a range of seemingly disparate genres and emotions comes incredibly naturally to the Norwegian artist, whose music oscillates between Italo disco and raw Detroit infused house and techno. With an enviably eclectic collection of the mastery to navigate it seamlessly, Skatebård’s DJ sets offer exploratory excursions through the unknown and unexpected. From festival mainstages to intimate clubnights, Boiler Rooms and radio shows, Skatebård has captivated audiences across the globe, performing at many of electronic music’s most revered institutions.
The dynamic scope of Skatebård’s artistry extends to his work in the studio. Spanning over two decades, his impressive discography is dispersed across labels including his own Digitalo Enterprises, Sex Tags Mania and Bordello A Parigi. With a knack for balancing kitsch with elegance, Skatebård creates music that exudes an air of nonchalant fun.
