The Unconventional Path to Techno Artistry: The Story of Linus Beatskip

Artists are more than mere performers; they are storytellers, weaving narratives through beats and melodies that resonate with the human spirit. Music careers are a journey of passion, resilience, and dreams nurtured in the hearts of enthusiasts and brought to life on stages worldwide. In the heartbeats of techno, amidst the echoes of electronic symphonies, artists like Linus Beatskip find their voice, and listeners discover their solace.


From a young age, Linus Beatskip exhibited an innate affinity for music from a tender age. His musical journey began in his adolescent years in Veberöd, which would later evolve and redefine the contours of techno artistry.


However, life took Linus on unexpected paths. His musical dreams took a backseat as he delved into graphic and web design, art, coding, UI, and UX. Linus ran his web agency, founded the design studio Studio Linus, and even ventured into the fashion world with his clothing company.


Amidst the creative chaos, something was missing, an emptiness that only music could fill.


The turning point came when Linus became a Les Mills instructor, leading fitness classes and training sessions. During this time, the music rhythm rekindled his passion, and he found himself drawn back into the world he had left behind. He expressed, "When I started teaching Les Mills™ classes at the gym, I began to move and train to music, and with that, I found my passion once again. As I began listening to old tracks, I felt reignited and was reminded of why I had such a connection with music in the first place." Linus embarked on a new musical chapter, infusing his life experiences and newfound wisdom into his compositions.


In the '90s, Linus was part of OmniCupid, a production trio that set Swedish clubs ablaze with their electrifying performances. However, the music scene was not the same back then. Linus and friends pioneered the way for underground music enthusiasts by creating "CIRCUIT," Sweden's first online and print magazine dedicated to underground music and subculture.

Today, Linus Beatskip is a Swedish electronic music producer, self-taught artist, entrepreneur, and DJ. Under the aliases LINUS BEATSKiP and ROCK BOTTOM, he ventures into the depths of techno, mesmerizing listeners with his intricate compositions.


Linus's music is more than beats; it's a narrative, a fusion of light and dark elements that craft immersive soundscapes. With an arsenal of tools, including FL Studio and Ableton, he meticulously sculpts each track, creating a unique emotional journey for his audience.

"Every individual element of the mix should work together to create a unique texture that can be tasted, touched, and felt. I aim to be in full control of the emotional journey I take my listeners on," he expressed.


Recently, Linus has also embarked on an enlightening musical pilgrimage at the Electronic Music Production Retreat in Ibiza. Surrounded by passionate artists and guided by experienced producers, he has honed his craft, embracing the creative energy of the island. "For me, playing in these clubs is more than just a gig; it's an opportunity to share my stories and music with the world. It's a chance to be part of something bigger, to contribute to the culture, and to be part of the future of electronic music." Linus Beatskip explained when talking about his performances.

One of his recent tracks, "Obedient," explores the societal pressure to conform to artificial intelligence's dictates. Linus urges listeners to break free, trust their instincts, and embrace their uniqueness in a world dominated by algorithms. Through his music, he encourages individuals to navigate their paths and make decisions free from external influences.


As a fitness enthusiast and firefighter, Linus juggles multiple roles. He strives to push his limits and dreams of performing his music in renowned venues like Berghain, Tresor, and Ultra, where he can inspire others with his personal stories.


As the curtain falls on each mesmerizing performance and the last music echoes fade into the night, the essence of shared experiences lingers. Artists' journeys are diverse and unique, but all are beautiful tales of a longing to be heard and daring to push through.
