A beautiful side of underground.

After Beach Boys, consisting of Albin Bjerkland and Oscar Ljungberg. Their style widely ranges from funky house to vibrant electro, all the way deep down into the rabbithole, becoming servants of herculean melodic techno. After Beach Boys are the founding fathers and residents of the newly but highly respected nightclub La Discothèque in Jönköping. 

Their sets are built on crunchy textures, energetic melodies, tasty bass-lines and infectious claps, all to transport the sweaty visitors to a utopian dance floor packed with loose limbs and smiling faces. 

After Beach Boys are always determined to uplift and enrich your soul, no matter if It's a nasty rave or a pulsating night at the discothèque

OLAVI is always in pursuit of the perfect symmetry where the light shines through the darkness. He loves capturing melodies and playfully mixing them with straight vocals and hard percussion. The music tends to feel a lot faster than it is, which is fully intended.

Oscar Virtanen is the name behind the music.
The co-founder and CEO of the Swedish underground label Trusted Tracks.
Born and raised in the heart of Sweden, Gothenburg.

OLAVI is an experienced artist - now on the rise with brand new music where he harnesses melodies and vocals in a potent mixture of dark percussion. In this master wizardry of playful balance between music dynamic and momentum - his tempo illusion can fool even the most seasoned listener. A perfectionist performer at all times. 
OLAVI has released 6 tracks in the last year with great success on both Beatport and Traxsource.

Jonas Rathsman is an artist in every sense of the word. Creativity is his life blood - it flows through every inch of his being. From graphic designer and illustrator to being an ambassador for his fashion brand Uniforms For The Dedicated, to DJ and producer, his talent knows no bounds.

Growing up in a small, picturesque village on the Western Coast of Sweden, exposed to the elements of our planet, his musical output is a reflection of these natural influences and his hometown inspires both his sets and productions.

Since being crowned with the accolade of “Future Star of 2013” by revered Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong, his musical career has seen a meteoric rise. He takes his intelligent selections to some of the globe’s most prestigious festivals and clubs, including Coachella, Circoloco Ibiza, Watergate Berlin and a Fabric room one debut in 2017, supporting the indomitable Dane, Kölsch.

It has been a lifelong ambition to build a studio space that would extend his eye for creative detail and follow his passion for bringing like-minded people together. Over 2017, Rathsman designed and created a six-room studio complex, situated in an industrial area of Gothenburg where the North Sea flows into the city. The studio provides Rathsman with a space to seek musical solace and to create, as well as providing a home for his beloved equipment. Internally, it is decorated with reclaimed wood found on walks with his two young sons. Everything has been treated, cut and fitted by himself, echoing Jonas’ commitment to sustainability.

Having released on a range of impressive imprints from Diynamic and KX to Crosstown Rebels and Mobilee, Rathsman is now focussing his efforts on building his ELEMENTS brand, a journey which began in 2017 off the back of his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. The name ELEMENTS touches on things that influence Rathsman musically; natural, organic and worldly sounds. It also reflects his desire to put on intimate parties in unique and remote locations, continuing the connections with his audience.
In 2018 ELEMENTS has grown into a multifaceted brand and is split into three parts; the label, the mix series and the parties. 

The label was successfully introduced with Rathsman’s own ‘Within Borders’ and is about to celebrate its seventh release from French techno hero Sébastien Léger. Its events arm launched with a sold-out show at London’s Autumn Street Studios and has taken residency in XOYO for 2018 having hosted Pional and Fort Romeu for their opening with Kiasmos soon to follow. With Jonas at the helm, ELEMENTS will continue to grow and nurture artists as they join forces and play together across the globe.

Music enthusiast from Berlin, Germany and the "ST" part of the DJ duo ST-RO & ST-AR.
ST-ahler aims to spread joy through creating spacy and floating disco soundscapes. Moving from Singapore to Berlin in 2014 “cosmos-politan” ST-ahler discovered the decks in an escalated night of spaceships and zero gravity.

Shortly after he started playing DJ sets at intimate events, house parties and various smaller venues, trying to make hoofers hover. His deep house sets are appreciated for their danceable yet wobbly and deep sounds infused with tasteful influences from the lively 80s to solid indie dance tunes, covering wide electronic frequency terrains.

Always with a self ironic smirk, ST-ahler focuses his energy on simply having a great time with music and friends balancing his way too serious full time job.
“Music is my outer space where I am not taking myself seriously and can be the loopy kid with its head in the sky, I sometimes forget to be in our fast paced world.”

Since 2018, Sascha has been producing music under his artist name ST-ahler and released various tracks until today ranging from deep house to disco. Behind the decks or in the studio it is his mission looking out for the next surprise to move crowds a little closer towards zero gravity.

Through sharing the same musical taste and interstellar vision Sascha (ST) also started playing sets together with his former flatmates David (RO)and Martin (AR) and founded the DJ duos ST-RO or ST-AR respectively to dig even deeper into spatial sound atmospheres.
