As usual, I have been busy making my own music, collaborating with John, and remixing other artists. Here are two recent remixes from me. Check it out. If you are a DJ and want to download and play my music, please go to my Beatport page.
XAKK Records presents: John Keding & Bjorn Fogelberg – Stellar EP
Release Date: 8 Aug 2025
Format: Digital
Label: XAKK Records
Catalogue: XAKK111
XAKK is back with its first collaborative release of the year, courtesy of Swedish producers Bjorn Fogelberg and John Keding. Both artists have been active in the progressive house and electronic music scenes for decades, with recent solo and joint releases on labels such as Dissident, RKP, ICONYC, Freegrant, Krafted, Hexagonal, and more.
Their new EP, Stellar, delivers three versions of the title track, each offering a slightly different take on the deeper side of progressive house.
The Original Mix features a steady, driving groove, rumbling low-end, and spacious pads. Airy stabs and restrained melodic elements help create a hypnotic atmosphere throughout the track.
The Sunset Remix moves into darker territory, adding more weight with deeper pads, dissonant stabs, and menacing yet warm synth swells.
Finally, the Sunrise Remix brings more energy and melodic variation while maintaining the depth and drive of both the original and the Sunset mix.
All tracks mastered by Cid Inc.

Polymer Dreams, the latest colab track from me and John Keding, is out on Dissident / EMG. It’s one of our more succesful releases, at least when it comes to who played it and how far up the charts it went. When writing this it’s sitting at a respectful #11 on the Beatport chart for new released EPs, and it has so far been played by some of the biggest Prog/Trance DJs in the world, like Jaytech and Solarstone.
“Dissident Music / EMG is proud to welcome Swedish producers John Keding and Bjorn Fogelberg to the label! Both have been making waves in the progressive house and electronic music scene for years, whether as solo artists or collaborators. Their music has found a home on top-tier labels like ICONYC, Freegrant Music, Hexagonal Music, and Krafted—and now, we’re excited to have them join the Dissident family!
XAKK is back with another deep progressive melodic pearl from the mind of Swedish veteran producer Björn Fogelberg. A Cold Day in April comes in three flavours, carefully curated for the summer dance floors of 2025: The Original version, the John Keding Remix, and the Sunny Remix, by Björn.
“XAKK Records, founded by Björn Fogelberg in 1996, started as an outlet for his own music and collaborations with friends. His first full-length CD album, 64, was influenced by his early years as a chiptune producer in the 1980s Commodore 64 scene. In 2005, he released A Brand New World digitally on Beatport, reflecting his shift toward a Progressive sound. Later releases, Mind Your Matter and Gravitons, received support from well-known DJs, including Armin van Buuren and Markus Schulz.”
