Daniel Ögren: Nordic Psychedelia & Global Beats (Spotlight On : 189)

The prolific and genre-jumping Swedish music producer delves into his inspirations, processes, and exceptional work with bands like Dina Ögon.
------------------
The Spotlight shines On musician and producer Daniel Ögren.
Daniel is one of the artists propelling Sweden’s contemporary new music scene. He has an extensive body of work as a solo artist and as a member of Sven Wunder, The Greys, and, most notably, Dina Ögon. He also works as a producer and musician for other artists.
Daniel joined us upon the release of his album Fastingen-92 on the Mr Bongo label. The record “draws from Daniels's love of South American folk music, soul, Nordic folk music and film soundtracks, resulting in something unique, dreamlike and transformational.”
It is a terrific record, very much worth a listen, as is our talk with Daniel. Enjoy.
