Bergen was known as “the techno city” due to its thriving electronic music scene since the 90s, cultivating its vibrant undercurrent of creators and organisers building cultural assets in the former capital of Norway on the west coast.
In recent years, a vibrant and eclectic community of fine artists, musicians, producers, and enthusiasts has put Bergen on the map as the cultural hub of Norway within the industry. With its club culture, creative cultural programs, and acclaimed music festivals, Bergen is a city constantly pushing the boundaries of electronic music and sound art, influencing its upcoming residents to be the creators of the subsequent waves.
