SNS EP119 - SWEDISH EGIL

The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the “Swedish Egil” is – is he really Swedish? The answer is unmistakably yes. Egil’s career began as a club DJ in Scandinavia and Europe. In the 80s, Egil created an overnight buzz on L.A. radio on KROQ-FM, breaking many alternative artists including NIRVANA, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, and UB40. He continued his manic devotion to new music in the 90s as Music Director at MARS-FM, then as founder of GROOVE RADIO, dedicated to club and DJ culture with artists such as MOBY, FATBOY SLIM, and THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS. Today, Swedish Egil is soaring ever higher on GROOVERADIO.COM and as DJ/Artist spinning at top clubs and events, and remixing records for Paul Oakenfold’s PERFECTO label. You can also catch Egil’s distinctive radio voice nationwide on SiriusXM Radio and as co-host of weekly mixshow “Powertools” (Power 106FM Los Angeles).
