FRI 15 | Everyone wants to be that kid who “liked it before it was cool.” This guy actually was that kid. Born in 1977, Swedish DJ known as The Outsider bought his first pair of Technics at age 14, and, because hip hop was yet to have any serious presence in Sweden, he followed his love of the music and everything associated with its culture to the very place it was born: the US. After having made a name for himself in one of the most competitive electronic scenes in the world, The Outsider moved to London in 2002, where he was a resident DJ at several clubs and warehouse party nights, often playing alongside house and techno pioneer Carl Cox, while also running his own weekly house music nights. Since 2010, The Outsider has been based in Bangkok where, between broadcasting podcasts and organising his Tech-Noir events, he has managed to squeeze in time to skip over to the little old Penh to unleash his perfectly crafted soundscapes.
