Röyksopp Embrace Their Club Roots on 'True Electric'

**Norwegian electronic icons Röyksopp return with True Electric, a club-forward reimagining of their legacy that pulses with both nostalgia and new energy.**

There’s something uniquely magnetic about the way Röyksopp bend the boundaries of genre — how they effortlessly dance between melancholia and euphoria, nostalgia and futurism. The embodiment of their legacy remains true after over 20 years of shaping the electronic space with True Electric, the Norwegian duo’s newest full-length release via their Dog Triumph imprint.

True Electric sees Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland revisit the pulse of the dancefloor with renewed purpose. The album is a curated collection of 19 studio versions from their 2023 True Electric tour, breathing new life into a catalog rich with texture, emotion, and iconic moments.

For over two decades, Röyksopp have remained at the forefront of Scandinavian electronic music. With seven Spellemannprisen awards and multiple Grammy nominations under their belt, their influence has rippled across genres and generations of artists alike. From remixing giants like Depeche Mode and Beck to collaborating with a who’s-who of alt-pop royalty, they’ve never stopped evolving. With True Electric, they prove once again that reinvention isn’t just part of their process, it’s their ethos.

While their early work often leaned into the cinematic and introspective, this release marks a distinct pivot back to the club. It’s an invitation to move, to lose yourself in the hypnotic loop of sound and light. But underneath the beats, there’s still that unmistakable Röyksopp heartbeat: yearning, playful, a little mysterious.

The album captures the essence of Röyksopp’s duality, their signature contrast between light and dark. Since their debut with 2001’s Melody A.M., they’ve been masters of juxtaposition, crafting a cinematic and intimate sound. Whether it’s ambient swells or heart-throbbing synths, their music always feels like a living, breathing entity.

But this isn’t just a live tour dump — it’s a reimagining. True Electric is Röyksopp in high-definition club mode. The record pulls from their vast sonic universe and filters it through the lens of sweat-drenched sets and underground rhythm. Among the reworks and remixes is a brand new track, “The ‘R’,” previously unreleased and packed with the sort of enigmatic energy only they can conjure.

The album feels like stepping into the past and the future simultaneously, with tracks like “What Else Is There?” providing a hypnotic, high-voltage rework of their beloved 2005 track featuring the unmistakable vocals of Fever Ray. This version leans deeper into intensity, layering dark synths and driving rhythms to set the tone for the album’s electrified energy.

With True Electric, Röyksopp doesn’t just revisit the past — they reframe it through the lens of now, turning beloved moments into something fresh, vital, and deeply alive. It’s a celebration of where they’ve been and a reminder that, no matter how many years pass, they still know how to electrify a room.
