“Dissident Music / EMG is proud to welcome Swedish producers John Keding and Bjorn Fogelberg to the label! Both have been making waves in the progressive house and electronic music scene for years, whether as solo artists or collaborators. Their music has found a home on top-tier labels like ICONYC, Freegrant Music, Hexagonal Music, and Krafted—and now, we’re excited to have them join the Dissident family!

Their latest offering is a stunning two-track release, each piece bringing its own unique energy:

“Polymer Dreams” feels like a warm summer breeze—effortlessly gliding over the water with sun-soaked synths and uplifting percussive rhythms. In a world full of uncertainty, we can all use those golden hour vibes, where everything just feels right.

On the flip side, “The Sun, The Moon, The Stars” takes a deeper, more introspective turn. With its minor-key melodies, driving bass, and hypnotic grooves, it’s a mesmerizing journey through the night —a perfect contrast to its lighter counterpart.

Together, these tracks are set to be a highlight of the summer, and we can’t wait for you to experience them. We hope you love them as much as we do!”

A Cold Day in April EP

XAKK is back with another deep progressive melodic pearl from the mind of Swedish veteran producer Björn Fogelberg. A Cold Day in April comes in three flavours, carefully curated for the summer dance floors of 2025: The Original version, the John Keding Remix, and the Sunny Remix, by Björn.

Listen on Spotify

“XAKK Records, founded by Björn Fogelberg in 1996, started as an outlet for his own music and collaborations with friends. His first full-length CD album, 64, was influenced by his early years as a chiptune producer in the 1980s Commodore 64 scene. In 2005, he released A Brand New World digitally on Beatport, reflecting his shift toward a Progressive sound. Later releases, Mind Your Matter and Gravitons, received support from well-known DJs, including Armin van Buuren and Markus Schulz.”
