As a central figure of two major Stockholm labels, YEAR0001 and Northern Electronics, Varg2™ (@varg2tm) is one of Sweden's most significant producers today. Renowned for his iconic rebellious aesthetics and various cross-genre collaborations, he has worked with artists such as Skrillex, Yung Lean, Bladee, Ecco2k, and Eartheater. His all-encompassing musical vision and fearless innovation, disregarding rules, set him apart.

First coming to prominence running Stockholm’s Northern Electronics label with Anthony Linell, Varg2™’s early releases fused misanthropy with techno’s primal parts. Marked by a prolific work rate and a perceptive ear for collaboration, in 2016 his anarchic operations gave rise to the Nordic Flora Series. The series saw Varg2™ put trap and EDM into orbit with ambient and electro-acoustic experimentation to devastating effect. This fed directly into the creation of his label Cease 2 Exist, which was inaugurated in 2020. Giving space to explore frenetic hyperpop crossed with trap, and all the while nodding to Sweden’s EDM culture, Varg2™ has made perfect sense of his incomprehensible mix of collaborators and tastes. He’s at home working with Sweden’s rap vanguard—Yung Lean, Bladee, Thaiboy Digital—just as he is working with everyone from Eartheater, Skrillex, and Rx Papi to Alessandro Cortini, CTM, and Blackhaine. With a singular vision, Varg2™ wears his lust for life and chaos on his sleeve.

Building on his first frenzied EP for YEAR0001—the recent Lonestar Pandemonium EP—as well as his manic curation with Cease 2 Exist, Varg2™ now presents the sixth and final installment of the Nordic Flora Series. Entitled Nordic Flora Series Pt.6: Outlaw Music, the album discloses everything that has led to this point. Like an austere vandal, Varg2™ has only increased the turbulence with Outlaw Music. Twisting cutting-edge aesthetics with his taste for wry melancholy, his masterful productions feature a slew of guests. Skrillex, and Ecco2K appear across the album’s brightest tracks, while darker yet delicate moments tap Rx Papi, Eartheater for input.

With Outlaw Music at the apex, Varg2™’s Nordic Flora Series is bold and ambitious, but most of all it’s maniacally tender through all the anxiety. If it seems evasive, you probably can’t relate to it.
