Bjørn Torske, born in 1971 in Tromsø, Norway, is a pioneering Norwegian DJ and record producer often celebrated as one of the early innovators of Norwegian electronic music. Emerging from the vibrant electronic scene in Tromsø during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Torske gained recognition for his distinctive blend of house, dub, disco, and cosmic influences, often infusing quirky rhythms and playful experimentation into his tracks. Moving to Bergen in the mid-90s, Torske became a key figure in the city’s flourishing music community, collaborating with fellow luminaries like Röyksopp and Erot.

He released his early works on the Tellé label, home to many influential Norwegian artists. Albums such as *Nedi Myra* (1998), *Trøbbel* (2001), *Feil Knapp* (2007), and *Byen* (2018) showcase his eclectic approach and the signature warm, organic sound he’s cultivated over decades. Widely hailed as the "comic disco king" and the "Godfather of Norwegian disco," Torske’s DJ sets are renowned for their unpredictability, depth, and strong sense of groove, captivating audiences across Europe and beyond.

His productions, marked by leftfield sensibility and playful creativity, continue to inspire a new generation of artists seeking to push the boundaries of dance music.
