History

edit

Tor and Leo first met on a class in rhetoric and quickly discovered their similar taste in music, their love for Giorgio Moroder, futuristic trains and machines that goes beep.[3]

When the two, by coincidence, moved into the same apartment complex, sweet noises emerged, echoing over the hills of Ersta in the very beginning of 2007.[4]

The project soon came to be known as Boeoes Kaelstigen, based on how the two participants complicated family names were spelled by airline carriers.[5]

After just a few weeks, Fasit, the duo's first track had already received thousands of plays on Myspace,[6] support from a number of DJ's from all over the world and was picked up by Swedish National Radio,[7] and various stations in Australia, the UK, Estonia and South Africa among others.

The duo has been endorsed by international techno personas such as Laurent Garnier, Michael Mayer of Kompakt and Özgur Can.[8]

Relationship with the media

edit

Boeoes Kaelstigen rarely cooperate with the media or the mainstream music scene. Until 2007, they did not perform live concerts.[9]

Live concerts
