Copyflex

Copyflex

Copyflex was born in the fjords of Norway on April 1st. 1977, relocating to Copenhagen in 1997. Here he first worked as a stockbroker for a boiler room turned legit and briefly for a local financial scandals socialite, all while slowly getting a foothold in the city’s music scene.

Playing broken synths, circuit bended gear, feedback loops and solar machines; he quickly became a central figure in the Danish noise music scene. But in 2001 he met danish godfather of techno music, Bjørn Svin, who turned Copyflex on to rhythmical dancing music.

In 2005 he became a dj by pure accident, when his gear broke down 2 hours before a live show. Bjørn Svin taught him some dj tricks – and Copyflex is still busy dj’ing. In the early 00’s he turned his interest towards the emerging global bass music flowing out of far corners of the world, fusing local sounds with electronic music. Nowadays Copyflex is a loved dj due to his capacity to combine bass music with homemade edits and often tropical twists – alway cutting edge and uplifting.

Copyflex is also the founder of tropical bass pioneer band Copia Doble Systema and a part of space bass outfit Alo Wala. Copyflex also works with the french actionist artist COLONEL / Thierry Geoffroy as an producer, representative and musician.

Copyflex’ gig record is impressive. He’s played places like reggae bars and boat clubs in Hanoi, Filipino sports arenas, pirate parties in defunkt cinemas, ghetto parties and clubs in Cairo, on the Ipanema beach and in favelas in Rio de Janeiro, at a mall club in Caracas, Copenhagen Distortion’s frenzied street parties, illegal bars in London, Roskilde Festival (also at the camping raves), in Rome’s dirty underground, Berlin’s mad squats and posh venues, south american radio shows, college fiestas, Venice Biennial, Miami Art Basel, Istanbul Biennale, on more beaches, plenty of boats and countless basements.
