about

The critically praised and beloved Swedish DIY studio wizard, musician and young composer Daniel Ögren (who used to be the guitar player in Anna Von Hausswolff's live band) is not just a member in the wonderful bands Dina Ögon and Sven Wunder, he is also in our humble opinion one of the most unique artists in Sweden.
He lives in the shadow of his music

Now he's back with a wonderful remake/remix single in two versions for the new year. In close collaboration with Berlin-based composer, producer and musician Ben Lukas Boysen.

Following up last year's underground hit "Idag" (with the amazing Anna Ahnlund on lead vocals) and also releasing his forthcoming solo album "Laponia III" at the end of January 2022.

The original version of "The first" was released as a one off single last year.
Now, Ben Lukas Boysen here delivers two beautiful reworks/remixes on the track and the result is mesmerizing. It's a song that came from a memory of Daniel standing on the hills of Björkliden in Sápmi, up north in Sweden, gazing at the mountains and the streams. The first big memory of how nature touched his heart.

Ben Lukas Boysen has made a career out of transforming unusual sounds into compelling music. His first electronic compositions at 18 were experiments with samplers and tape loops leading to an album in 2003 and the subsequent foundation of his own Berlin studio.
Since, he has produced multiple albums (many under the alias HECQ), and led numerous workshops on composition and sound aesthetics, as well as creating custom sound design for films, commercials, video games and installations.

Daniel's own words about "the first":
"I wrote, recorded and mixed the orginal version myself. I wanted to write a song that I would love listening to on the radio...As always, it feels like I am writing the same song over and over again. That is why the song is called "the first". And I guess, as always I am inspired by South American Huayno music... ”
