As creatively rewarding as being an artist can be, it’s not without its stresses. Wit global streams surpassing 500 million, you’d likely consider that Kasbo (aka, Carl Garsbo) would be content with his music reaching a global audience, yet for the Gothenburg-hailing DJ and electronic artist, the pressure of maintaining a flow of impactful and resonant work was beginning to take a toll.
“It took a while for me to decide what I wanted to be doing with my music after the pandemic hit.” Carl explains, “I think electronic music was just in a really weird state, and it was evolving really quickly. I felt a bit confused on how to marry what I personally listen to and make it work in a club environment. Making it marry with the more ambient pieces that I listen to.”
