Atlantis Grammofon AB

Profile

Swedish company based in Stockholm, that runs the [l=Atlantis Grammofon] and [l=Alternativ] labels, and used to run the [l=Atlantis Studio] before it was sold. During the 70’s, the record label Alternativ was founded by [a325517] upon meeting the singer [a517068] during his sound engineer education at DI (Dramatiska Institutet). Kjell, unable to find a distributor for his music, would walk the streets of Stockholm selling editions of his 2 albums: “Undran” and “Blomstertid”. When Kjell recorded his 15-minute track “Häxprocess” with Janne at the school, the aspiring sound engineer decided to create a label to get Höglund the exposure he thought he deserved. At the time Janne lived in a collective in Sollentuna. Here, he had turned his garage into a recording studio and had recorded music by Stina Nordström and Roffe Wickström among others. After Janne purchased Atlantis Grammofon in 1983, he renamed the label Atlantis Grammofon AB.
