Röyksopp plays Romania for the first time at B’Estfest Summer Camp

Röyksopp, “a two-headed Norwegian monster, dealing within the realm of contemporary electronic music” (as the musicians describe themselves) will perform at B’Estfest music event in Bucharest on July 7, this being their first visit to Romania.

Formed in 1998 by Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland, Röyksopp is a landmark name on the electronic stage.

Their first album Melody A.M which is a mix between ambient, downtempo, synth-pop and soul-funk was included by The Guardian in the list of the 1,000 Albums To Hear Before You Die.

Melody A.M was followed by a new album The Understanding, launched in 2005, Junior launched in 2009 and Senior released in 2010.

Röyksopp has collaborated over time with soloists such as Robyn, Lykke Li, Karin Dreijer-Andersson (The Knife / Fever Ray) or Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience / The Whitest Boy Alive).
