Torbjorn - Northwest EP

Torbjørn “Nordwest EP” Description:

“Nordwest” tells a chilling story of overcoming the hardships of winter, as heard through the lenses of dubstep, golden era hip-hop, and with a touch of traditional Scandinavian folk music. Several Nordic instruments, including Norway’s national instrument “Hardanger Fiddle,” are accompanied by hard-hitting wobble bass, breakbeats, and the expert turntablism of underground hip-hop legend DJ Abilities. Both of Torbjørn’s production and emcee skills are sharply on display throughout, giving bass music and rap fans a reason to turn up. “The highs get rid of our troubles, and the lows just keep on rumbling.”

“Nordwest Tour” Description:

The “Nordwest Tour” features high energy DJ sets and live emceeing by Torbjørn, joined on tour by Nurries & Patrou.
