ASKJELL

Think about classical music and it’s likely you’ll draw upon the same stereotypes. Last Night of the Proms, old folk in cardigans, expensive red wine, and a pre-show dinner. But while that world does still exist, there’s a newer, inclusive classical trend on the horizon. Boiler Room hosted Steve Reich; Jon Hopkins is a festival headliner. And ascending toward the forefront of it all is imminent star Askjell, who you might already know from his work with BBC Music’s Sound of 2018 winner Sigrid (the pair co-write the fragile “Dynamite” together).

  • Askjell grew up in Bergen, the second biggest city in Norway, and was introduced to music from an early age. Askjell’s dad had ragga, ska, and dancehall records shipped over from the UK from the 80s to the 00s. Then UK Garage. Then dubstep. Their house is the kind where there are rooms literally dedicated to records rather than living space. But Askjell was young; he liked computer games instead – a crucial component in his development since their soundtracks often lean toward the classic side of things.
