Video: Meet the world-class DJs of Bergen, Norway

For our December-January issue, Vogue Scandinavia meets DJs Kygo, Alan Walker and Payday who all have a peculiar link: they’re all from the same town in Norway.

Despite having careers that has seen them collaborate with the likes of the late Avicii, Octavian and Coldplay, they were all unusually born in Bergen, a small sleepy town on the Norwegian West Coast famous for its rain. It rains, we’re told, more than anywhere else in Europe.

In the video below, the artists talk affectionately about their home city, give us the download on what people from Bergen are like and why the city produces such good beats. “People make a joke that the reason why there is so much good music coming out of Bergen is because it’s raining so much,” says Payday. “I would like to disagree with that statement but it kind of low-key feels like it's true.”

Kygo agrees that it’s important to change the perception. “I feel like a lot of people who are not from Norway, or Bergen, will probably think it's pretty sad and depressing, thinking, ‘Oh it's so cold, you can't really be outside.’ But to us Norwegians, we think about it as cosy.

"We can light a fireplace, watch TV. I feel like we have a lot of time to just focus on ourselves. It's cosy. And it's relaxing. It's chill.”
