About me
I was born 1982 in middle Sweden. Moved down to Skåne with my family in 1987. Back in 1996-97 I started to listen to dance orientated music such as Faithless and Robert Miles and even some happy hardcore was evolved. When I started high school a friend introduced me to the sample based tracking program Fast Tracker II. I started to produce mostly dance tracks together with my brother Robert. Some tracks were uploaded to the legendary tracker database traxinspace.com.

On a school trip to Oslo, Norway, I bought my first real trance album (In Trance We Trust 002) and since that I have been listening to different kinds of trance. Since 2000 when I turned 18 I've been visiting clubs and festivals frequently. The classic, now closed, Club Gorgeous became my favourite place. Lots of fun nights and great DJ sets have I seen there. I've also visited big festivals such as Sensation and Global Gathering. My interest for producing music became bigger and bigger.

I changed in 2001 software from Mad Tracker II to a sequencer and different VSTi plug-ins. I started to gain support from DJ such as Michael Splint, Niklas Harding and Giorgio Ponticelli. In 2003 I ended up on a 5th place on Jon O Bir's talented competition and I received an A State of Trance play (ASOT XXL 95) by Misja Helsloot. Autumn 2004 my remix of Algarve - Seashore got air played by Graham Gold (Kiss 100) and Dave Pearce (Radio 1). The remix also received a 5/5 star review in International DJ magazine. My track Lightfields has also received airplay by Paul Kershaw on the Galaxy Network.

The start of 2007 coulden't be better, remixed by Aly and Fila, released on I-tunes and lots of productions in the making (with colabs with some great scandinavian artist). It seems to become more and more coops rather then own productions these days. It's fun to have some other input on the tracks then only your own.

Now I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for me. I still get some support once in a while and that is always fun! Trying to improve my DJ skills to broad my musical domains. Remember: Music is in the eye (ear) of the beholder. Big thanks to my friends and the DJ's who have supported me during these years hope you'll continue with it!

Robert Lidstroem - Discovery (Original Mix)
Reviewed: May 27, 2008
Artist: RobertLidstroem
I just have to do a reviw of this track, not sure way! The intro starts softly with some nice pads then the baselines comes in and some nice FX. At 1:20 a porta lead comes in. It's a nice melody but I'm not so found of the soundselection. The builup continues with a arped synth and some new hihats		Read full review
