Filip Grönlund’s musical journey started at home in Stockholm, Sweden. The son of classical musicians, Grönlund grew up listening to his mother’s disco records and was mesmerised by the soulful vocals of the disco divas of the 70’s and 80’s. His love for soul, funk and disco music led to him discovering house music during the late 90’s and early 00’s, and eventually becoming a DJ. Inspired by producers such as Mark Knight, Paul Woolford and Marc Kinchen, and with a good sense for what works on the dancefloor, Grönlund produces tracks that steer in the direction of house, deep house and tech house, with an unmistakable predisposition towards the original school. His productions are characterised by driving beats, thoughtful melodies and soulful elements that harken back to a time when disco reigned supreme.
Grönlund’s SRNDR debut, “Superfly", is a guaranteed floor-filler and demonstrates Grönlund’s keen sensibility and artistry as both a DJ and producer to seamlessly bring together the old-school tech-house and classic, soulful disco sounds.
His second SRNDR release, “The Rhythm” is a dark, trippy, classic tech-house banger that recalls the early electronic explorations of the likes of Inner City, Pete Heller and more. At 7 minutes and 33 seconds, this is a slow-burner that is definitely not safe for Spotify but is full of sonic surprises that keep listeners on their toes and dancers on their feet.
Both releases are available on all good digital music platforms.
