Dan Lissvik

Dan Lissvik is a Swedish visual artist, musician and producer known for founding the Balearic music project Studio as well as co-founding the Gothenburg-based Service record label.

Music

In 1998, Dan Lissvik and Kristofer Ström founded Alé, an instrumental band based in Malmö, Sweden. Joined by Magnus Granbom on bass and Jesper Nordblad on guitar, they recorded an untitled, full-length live album on cassette in 1999. After a series of live performances throughout the spring and summer of 1999, Alé disbanded when Lissvik moved to Gothenburg to pursue an MFA at the Valand Academy. Ström and Nordblad later formed Lemko Hall and commemorated the brief yet memorable summer of Alé’s music with a song called "Ode to Alé."
"In 1999–2000, Dan Lissvik continued recording music at the Valand School of Fine Arts and launched a new project called Studio. Shortly after, he met Ola Borgström, and together, they decided to start a DIY label, Service, to release his music, produce T-shirts, and organize events.
Later that year, Lissvik returned to Malmö to write and record The End of Fame with his former bandmates Nordblad and Ström. In 2001, this recording, featuring an added guitar solo by newly added member Rasmus Hägg, became the first 7" release by Studio on Service Records in 2001.
Both Studio and Service officially launched in 2001 with a series of 7" singles that combined new wave-influenced indie rock with elements of Afrobeat, dub, and Krautrock.
In 2005, Lissvik and Studio parted ways with Service to form INF. In 2006, Studio released a 12" single and later that year, their debut full-length album, West Coast, on the newly formed label. The album featured six expansive, richly textured slow-disco tracks that conjured the feel of New Order lounging in Ibiza. West Coast was a major critical success, appearing on numerous year-end best-of lists.
Dan Lissvik has since produced albums and singles for a variety of international and Swedish pop and indie artists, including Taken by Trees, The Embassy, CEO, Lake Heartbeat, and the Canadian group Young Galaxy. A prolific remixer, he has reworked tracks for artists such as Karin Dreijer's Fever Ray, Foals, HAIM, Two Door Cinema Club, The 1975, World Champion, Tove Styrke, Sally Shapiro, Korallreven, La Roux, and more.
In 2014, Lissvik began a new project called Atelje and released an experimental downtempo album titled Meditation on VEX. In 2015, Lissvik released a neo-disco single titled Shuvit! on the Smalltown Supersound label, followed by his full-length debut for the label, Midnight, in 2016.
In 2021, Henric Claesson and Dan Lissvik formed the group Under Allt, releasing their debut album, Mellanrum, later that year. In 2023, Under Allt added Albin Johansson as a member and released their second full-length album, 3. In the summer of 2024, Atelje released three digital singles on Bandcamp.
