Axel is in fact the Swedish word for shoulder, but born and bred
Stockholmer Mr. Boman could just as easily have been named Rumpa, the
Swedish word for ass, since most of his life has been dedicated to moving
just that body part.
It was around 1992 that Axel’s ass started dragging the confused
youngster into all sorts of weird situations – dodgy warehouses,
blooming fields, sweaty basements – just about any place that had a
nice sound system and someone pumping a fat bassline through it. His
older brother already being a collector of the latest techno and house
records, Axel started keeping a strict diet of fresh beats which has
kept him alive and kicking ever since. Building a reputation for
himself in the small but very friendly Stockholm club scene, he was
soon acknowledged as one of Sweden’s most skillful and best looking dj
dudes. Naturally, production activity followed shortly. Working out of
small studios in his hometown as well as in Gothenburg (where Axel is
currently finishing his Master’s degree in fine art), tracks like the
underground hit “Arcimboldo” on Ourvision Recordings soon landed in
the crates of connoisseurs like DJ Koze, Magda and Seth Troxler. His
sounds is raw, playful and drenched in oceans of soul – just the kind
of stuff the dancefloor’s of today are longing for.
2010 is set to be the big breakthrough year for Axel and his ass, with
the epic screw house anthem “Purple Drank” being released on DJ Koze’s
new Pampa Records imprint around the same time as he goes off to London to
participate in the Red Bull Music Academy. In the already legendary
Studio Barnhus, a workspace he shares with Petter (Border Community)
and local idiot Kornél Kovács, wonderful new music is being made.
