SHORT BIO: BODY IN THE THAMES is a single human male of fairly standard quality & construction.

A dual Swedish/British citizen born in Manchester, England. Living & working in the EU since 2001 with two years in Paris, France and the last 18 years in Stockholm, Sweden where he currently resides. Prior to that he spent eight years in London.

The music of Body in the Thames is undeniably informed by those four major cities and their musical and artistic culture & heritage.

Although making music that is nominally 'electronica' via programming synthesizers & drum machines he is absolutely no purist - quite the opposite - he is a charlatan, a cuckoo, a magpie, a tourist and a journeyman. Rock, pop, hip hop, konstmusik, bass music, club culture, post-punk, afrobeat, funk, electro, freestyle, indie, prog, soul, ska, dub & even folk are his musical background & influence.

He is also influenced by ideas & the history of ideas; politics, power, art, technology, literature, film, environment, cognitive psychology, sound & colour theory, psychedelia

Body in the Thames has released 13 singles/EPs, 2 albums & a mixtape since 2011 as well as around two dozen remixes
