Oslo-based collective Ute comes to Norbergfestival for a label showcase on the Saturday featuring their residents Marius Bø, Ekkel, and Mikkel Rev, together bringing their music into a new environment, shaped by the festival’s raw, industrial surroundings.

Marius Bø is a figure within the northern hemisphere of the electronic music landscape whose artistry is deeply rooted in a profound connection to nature's atmosphere and the communal spirit of open-air gatherings. As one of the co-founders of Ute, Marius' musical journey finds its origins nestled amidst the Norwegian forests. It is here, between the trees and rustling leaves, that his sound took root, hosting and playing parties deep in the woods.

Marius’ sets can be seen as a concoction of psychedelic atmospherics, generating dynamic tensions and sublime releases that work both the body and mind. Mastering different tempos and moods of deep hypnosis, he deftly connects the dots between old school records and futuristic soundscapes. Whether it’s ambient, idm, trance or techno, the Ute label-head seamlessly blends the sounds with a captivating elegance.

From hazy braindance to high-energy vibrations in mist-shrouded forests, balmy shores and dimly-lit basements, Marius navigates diverse settings with his distinctive musical style that takes a gentle yet firm grip on the soul. His unique approach has brought him to iconic venues such as Pawnshop, Bassiani and Macadam, and to festivals such as Monument in the heart of Norway’s forest, Organik on a hidden peninsula in Taiwan and Outsider, deep in the Australian bush. Whether in intimate clubs or verdant outdoor landscapes, Marius' music carries an organic and trippy spirit that transcends time and space.

At Norbergfestival, Marius Bø will play back to back together with Ekkel, the other half of Accelerationism.
