My NTS
Live now

Kasper Bjørke

On 30 December 2014, Kasper Bjørke was a guest on Noise In My Head. Kasper Bjørke has been played on NTS in shows including Hannah Holland, featured first on 5 March 2015. Songs played include Apart, Du Du Du and Volupia (Kasper Bjorke Kokomo Mix).

Kasper Bjørke has been a shape-shifting force in electronic music for the past two decades, weaving a distinct thread through his vast body of work. From club anthems to radio-friendly affairs and introspective ambient meditations, the DNA is unmistakably Bjørke’s - and though the musical scenery may change over time, his sound and vision remain clearly evident throughout. As a DJ, Panorama Bar in Berlin is an all-time personal favorite, with five gigs under his belt in the sacred room so far. Fabric, Rex Club, and Robert Johnson along with legendary festivals such as Sónar Barcelona, Roskilde and Montreux Jazz Festival are other standout experiences. While Kasper has scaled back touring in recent years, to reduce his climate footprint and be present while his children grow up, he continues to play carefully selected gigs. Bjørke’s solo album journey began with In Gumbo (2007) and the sophomore Standing on Top of Utopia (2010), featuring his transcendent cover of The Rolling Stones' “Heaven” - later given a timeless rework by Nicolas Jaar. Fool (2012) and After Forever (2014) cemented his reputation as a producer with an uncanny ability to merge pop, disco, and left-field electronics into seamless form. In 2018, Bjørke veered into more introspective territory with The Fifty Eleven Project, a two-hour ambient opus released via Kompakt. Dubbed "a shimmering, nocturnal masterpiece" by Music Week and named one of The Guardian’s Best Contemporary Albums of the Year, it sketched emotional narratives with minimalist ambient and neo-classical brushstrokes. Eleven short films, directed by LA-based visual artist Justin Tyler Close, accompanied the release and were later exhibited in Copenhagen, Milan, and online via Copenhagen Contemporary. 2019's Nothing Gold Can Stay brought Bjørke back to the dancefloor, the double EP included his lush cover of The Alessi Brothers' cult song "Seabird" and later remixes by Tensnake, Perel, Justin Strauss & Max Pask (as Each Other) followed. Around this time, he also contributed the 23-minute ambient piece The Beast. The Tree. The Man. to the Australian online listening gallery Longform Edition. Kasper distilled his DJ experiences into Sprinkles (2021), an instrumental club album bursting with effervescence and joy. This sonic glow gave way to the contemplative Mother (2022), a return to his Quartet project. Released via Kompakt, it offered six cinematic neo-classical pieces, each evoking the cycles of Earth's evolution with tenderness and grandeur. In 2023, he launched Sensitive Records - a platform for ambient-leaning music and a home for his more introspective work. The label also embraces a collaborative spirit, offering space for other artists. That same year also saw the release of two collaborative EPs: Junctions (with Cooper Saver) via Live At Robert Johnson, and Night Soul (with El Agua Es Profounda) on Japanese label Mule Musiq, featuring remixes by Bella Boo and Longhair. Then came Puzzles (2024), an album that eschewed programmed precision for raw, live energy and collaborative flair. Contributors included Woolfy (DFA, Rong), Icelandic trio Sísý Ey, longtime collaborators Jacob Bellens and Toby Ernest, as well as Tomas Høffding, Rasmus Littauer and Oilly Wallace. Puzzles felt like a live jam session in the best sense - organic, spontaneous, and brimming with life. Critics took notice. Metal Magazine called Puzzles  "a perfect balance between grooviness, danceability, and emotion." Kaltblut dubbed it "a genre-defying masterpiece." Electronic Groove praised its versatility across "intimate home settings and modern dancefloors," while KEXP hailed it as "breezy, groovy, sun-kissed pop that blends disco, synth-pop, and yacht-rock through a distinctive 'Nordic-cool' prism." MusicRadar described it as "a dreamy, carefree slice of sun-dappled disco-pop," and Electronic Sound noted that "the Danish polymath slides effortlessly into the smoother side of the 1980s." New projects including a site specific ambient EP Heimr (Music For Landscapes 1) on Sensitive Records - and the third Quartet album and collaborative EP releases will be released in 2026. For someone who’s never been content to stay in one lane, the future holds more uncharted sonic territory for one of Scandinavia’s most diverse electronic producers. “The past decade has seen Bjørke steadily rising amongst the ranks of artful, eclectic electronic producers…” XLR8R "Kasper Bjørke definitely makes art. Each production feels assured with the Scandinavian impacting a genuine sense of the cerebral into his music"  Clash Music
