Torbjørn

The “Nordwest Tour” features the debut of Torbjørn's new full-production A/V show; honoring the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop with a modern take on the genre’s original four pillars; emcees (live vocals), DJs (turntablism), breakdancers (flow/choreography), and graffiti (live painting), joined on stage by Jaclyn Layton, Rachel Nesvig, Tae Shantii, Nurries & Patrou, and more! Torbjørn's “NORDWEST” EP tells a chilling story of overcoming the hardships of winter, as heard through the lenses of dubstep, golden era hip-hop, and with a touch of traditional Scandinavian folk music. Several Nordic instruments, including Norway’s national instrument “Hardanger Fiddle,” are accompanied by hard-hitting wobble bass, breakbeats, and the expert turntablism of underground hip-hop legend DJ Abilities. Both of Torbjørn’s production and emcee skills are sharply on display throughout, giving bass music and rap fans a reason to turn up. “The highs get rid of our troubles, and the lows just keep on rumbling.”
