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.

Aasthma, a collaboration between Swedish producers Pär Grindvik and Peder Mannerfelt . A sonically high-fidelity whirlwind, occupying a dazzling soundworld where Top 40 ballads and breakbeat rollers gleefully canoodle with trap bangers, neon-streaked EDM and guttural dancehall.

Graduating from the class of Fever Ray 2018 Plunge tour, Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik found themselves inexplicably drawn towards creating Aasthma as a vessel for their collaborative respiratory malaise. After being tapped up for gaseous exchanges for the likes of Björk, Modeselektor and Massive Attack, they released their debut full length ”Arrival” in late 2022 to great fanfare. Including collaborations with diverse artist such as Jonnine Standish of HTRK, Adam Olenius of Shout Out Louds, Casey MQ, Gavsborg of Equiknoxx and Swedish rapper Silvana Imam it shows their commitment to fumigating beyond their natural habitat of cramped basements and cavernous technodomes into uncharted popular territories.
