“Another Scandinavian talent is rising from the trance depths. Swedish producer Björn Akesson had his debut release on the A State of Trance label, back in 2008. ‘Perfect Blue’ was the title of his outstanding piece of music, and its release surely didn’t go unnoticed. Aly & Fila, proud owners of the Future Sound of Egypt label, recognize a talent when they see one and signed him up for a duo-EP, ‘Flavour Park’ & ‘Without You’.
A year later, Björn returns to the club-speakers with an all-destroying ‘Robot Religion’ and more sensitive, uplifting ‘Sandcastle Express’. Both melodic, powerful and absolutely feel-good.”
