A lot of high quality Dance Music comes out of Norway. Quality has nothing to do with nationality. It has to do with the love for what you are doing..
true..... but it also got to do with a something else, when it comes to dancemusic, something less definable. most of the producers of dance music has been involved in the scene on all levels, and im not saying royksopp hasnt but the country norway, has got a different feel to its dance music than lets say, britain, france and the us. not bad, just different, and thats good for the people who like it, and there seem to be many people who like royksopp, so good for them. norway dont have much of a housescene though, but i wouldnt say royksopp are house either. norway is on the whole still stuck in the rock/alternative era, that many of us left behind when we got into house. the scene never really took off in norway, and that i feel is because of the general consensus on drugs, quite simply. people in norway have got a very strong negative attitude to illegal substances, on the whole, and imo, thats why the dancescene always stayed underground there, and even there it wasnt much to talk about.
