Kenneth Bager

Welcome to The Kenneth Bager Experience. A weird and wonderful happy place where Balearic electronica soundtracks scenes of decadence, beautiful women frolic in lacy underwear, white rabbits are regarded as equals and the man conducting the party is dressed as Mozart with his iconic glasses. Don’t be scared, everyone’s welcome.

 

For those who’ve come across Kenneth in the past, which will be many, none of this will surprise you. Mr. Bager is a man who likes to stand out from the crowd, a man with a vivid imagination and a leader of a whole generation of dancers and music lovers.

 

Kenneth first appeared in the public eye in the late 80s in his home city of Copenhagen as the organizer of the now legendary ‘Coma’ acid house parties (The Danish equivalent of London’s ‘Shroom’ and ‘Spectrum’ parties). Having grown up with music from an early age and been fascinated with the electronic sounds that had developed throughout the 80s, it felt natural for Kenneth to become a DJ and surround his life in dance culture; his life would never be the same again. Regarded not only as a musical tastemaker but also as a cultural trendsetter, Kenneth quickly became a go-to guy for his thoughts and ideas as well as his musical knowledge.

 

His main focuses now are producing music, promoting the Coma parties (they’re still as wild and debauched as they were 20 years ago!) and running his ‘Music For Dreams’ label, which is where he originally released the critically acclaimed ‘Fragments From A Space Cadet’ LP in ‘07. Not only was the release rewarded with global praise and a Grammy nomination in Denmark (with Kenneth performing at the show wearing a mask to make him look 90 years old and accompanied by 200 kids on stage dressed-up as him) but it also showed a natural progression for Kenneth Bager.

 

Now Kenneth is working on yet another album and voices whisper that it will be even better than the prior one.
