Mike Eriksson Chooses Genelec to Create Memorable Moments

As the owner of Rockatown Studios in Stockholm and part of the highly respected team there, he works with and creates content for an impressive variety of artists ranging from rappers Petter and Nano, to pop stars such as Agnes Carlsson, Sergey Lazarev and Donny Montell through to rising soul man Samson for President.

I love listening to them, they sound great, I love the combination of having the full spectrum and from time to time being blown away by what I hear.”

He adds that his 8351s allow him to listen for longer. “ - I can also turn it down and keep hearing everything I want to hear, and work for hours…”
