The Scandinavian electro-pop scene kickstarted with the invention of the Nordik Beat sound in Stockholm in the late 1980s. By merging the new technologies at the time, building small inexpensive studios armed with computers and samplers rather than traditional instruments and studio equipment, and the latest dance music trends (house, techno, hip-hop, electro, etc.) with the Scandinavian focus since ABBA on mixing strong pop melodies with catchy hooks, both a new sound and a new way of making music were born. A commonly recognized birth date for the movement has become the October 1987 cover story of ID Magazine in the UK, a cover graced by the first international Afro-Scandinavian pop star, La Camilla from Army of Lovers, as the face of the brand new Nordik Beat movement.

  • Swemix (oftast skrivet SweMix) var ett discjockey- och studiokollektiv, bildat 1986. Verksamheten utvecklades senare till flera skivbolag. En frilansjournalist hade i december 1985 kallat samman Stockholms tio hetaste DJ:ar till en gemensam intervju. Efteråt utbyttes idéer om möjligheten att gå samman och skapa egna dansvänliga remixer på samma sätt som amerikanska Hot Tracks och brittiska Disco Mix Club. Ett företag skapades och en källare på Kocksgatan i Stockholm hyrdes där en studio byggdes upp. (sv)
