Bio

Dystopian Science Fiction-like musical landscapes, neon skylines and cyberpunk nights with acid rain. That’s the sound of Code Elektro.

Code Elektro is a critically acclaimed electronic music artist from Denmark. The music is characterized by the use of analog and digital synths - arpeggiators and sound design. It could sound like something from a modern Blade Runner, Stranger Things or TRON.

Code Elektro has collaborated with Iceberg Records for several releases. And with Lakeshore Records on the official companion album to Rise of the Synths. And also with Rustblade Records for The Way of Darkness: John Carpenter Tribute Album.

Why Vinyl?

Vinyl is part of the complete artistic experience. Since 2015.

The music is built around atmosphere, detail and cinematic world-building, and vinyl gives that universe a physical form.

The sound, the weight of the record, the large-format artwork and the careful presentation all help turn each release into something you can hold, collect and return to.

Every vinyl release is produced with a focus on quality: from the pressing and packaging to the visual identity surrounding the album.

Code Elektro also collaborates with visual artists (John Bergin, Kilian Eng, Jon Gotlec) to create artwork that matches the mood and concept of the music. These collaborations help give each album its own identity and make the vinyl editions feel like complete, collectible pieces — not just music on a disc.

Vinyl fits Code Elektro because it turns sound into an object, atmosphere into artwork, and an album into a complete world.

Behind Code Elektro

Code Elektro is Martin - and Martin is a huge fan of science fiction, synthwave and cyberpunk – so he has been working on this album in between projects for a few years. With sonic references like Blade Runner, John Carpenter, Daft Punk, S U R V I V E, among others Code Elektro's main focus is trying to create lots of images in the head of the listener – from drama to suspense to beautiful atmospheres.

The music has been featured in a range of commercial productions and collaborations — including PUMA, MTV, SAMSUNG, Carlsberg, Dalstrong, LEGO, Novo Nordisk, and more.

As much as Code Elektro is an artistic outlet for Martin, it is also a fan project from one Sci-Fi fan to others.
