In an industry saturated with new names, Ultimate Music Experience talents Pegboard Nerds are one of the most notable ones making waves today.
Hailing from Denmark and Norway, Alexander Odden and Michael Parsberg had always been influenced by dance music for well over twenty years as they both had been producing and remixing for established artists. But it wouldn’t be until 2011 that would create the Pegboard Nerds, “We have been making music together for several years, but started Pegboard Nerds last year in an effort to focus on our own productions and our own style.”
Always creating a unique blend of electro, dubstep, moombahcore, and glitch hop, the two have never confined themselves to one genre, “We love almost all aspects of electronic and non-electronic music, and pull inspiration from a lot of different stuff when we make our own music.” Their wide range is probably the reason why their wide audience that has gained an impressive following over the past year.
Their first release “Gunpoint” was just the beginning of a string of successful releases that were soon to follow. Fans couldn’t get enough of tracks like “Self Destruct,” “Disconnected,” and “Fire In The Hole,” the latter of which held the number one spot on the Beatport’s Glitch Hop chart for almost 3 consecutive months. The success of Pegboard Nerds’ remixes is equally as impressive as their take on Krewella’s “Alive,” garnered over 1.5 million views on popular Youtube channel UKF and the remix of MSD and Jillian Ann’s “Quiet Riot” was also hand-picked by Knife Party for their Mixmag studio mix back in November 2012.
Pegboard Nerds’ latest single “Bassline Kickin,” out on Monstercat, shows off their knack for producing electro bangers with funky synths, hard-hitting drops, and a gritty bass. The duo are bringing that kicking bass to South Padre Island for Ultimate Music Experience on March 13-15th. Grab your tickets today to be a part of the celebration!
