Legendary Danish producer Rune Rask offers a glimpse of his upcoming album with scintillating single Ibiza Boys via United Stage / Universal Denmark.
A pioneer of Danish Hip Hip for more than 20 years, GRAMMY Award winning producer Rune Rask is constantly reshaping the soundscape of modern music. With credits working with some of the biggest hip hop artists of the decade, including Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Lukas Graham, Akon, and Tech N9ne, the visionary producer has built a name for himself as both a formidable solo artist and one-third of the members of Suspekt, one of Denmark’s most notorious hip hop outfits of all time. Solidifying themselves in Danish infamy, the trio performed and headlined across all major stages and collected millions of streams.
Channelling over 20 years of experience into work that has earned him the reputation as the Rick Ruben of Denmark, Rune Rask has collected 2 US GRAMMY nominations, 8 GRAMMY wins in Denmark, and countless Platinum certifications. Ruminating on a diverse and poignant career, Rune Rask reflects on his journey, “It has been more about writing soundtracks for other people’s lives, but life has changed, people have changed and I have changed. It’s about self-respect and daring to stand up for the output you unleash…I have the score for my life inside my head and it needs to come out…” His upcoming project represents a new era for the producer, whose change of direction as a solo artist within electronic music can already be seen in his 2021 self-titled album that demonstrated his versatility and creativity beyond the hip-hop spectrum.
A harbinger of the artist’s second album, an atmospheric and experimental powerhouse project, Ibiza Boys is an intriguing and inviting track that prickles the senses with voluptuous percussion, stuttering grooves, and traces of that irreplaceable feeling that accompanies the White Isle’s luscious sunsets.
Rune Rask - Ibiza Boys is out 3rd February via United Music / Universal Denmark.
