About Airbase

Jezper Soderlund, better known as Airbase, is a Swedish trance producer and DJ from Gothenburg. He's been making electronic music since the mid-1990s, when a copy of Scream Tracker and a steady diet of euro techno, happy hardcore, and early trance compilations set him on a path he hasn't left since.

The first Airbase release was Emotion on Go For It in early 2002. Later that year, Genie landed on the same label and became the breakout hit, its anthemic lead line putting Airbase on the map. What followed was more than two decades of original productions, remixes, and collaborations across labels like Black Hole Recordings, Armada Music, In Trance We Trust, Platipus, Flashover Recordings, and High Contrast Recordings. Along the way, tracks like Escape and Denial (feat. Floria Ambra) became his biggest and most recognized productions. He has remixed tracks for Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, and Above & Beyond, among many others.

Airbase is one alias among many. Over the years, Jezper has produced under more than a dozen names: Ozone, Rah, The Scarab, Parc, Narthex, First & Andre, Mono, One Man Army, and several more. Each carried its own lane, but Airbase has always been the center of gravity. As First & Andre, he composed Widescreen, the anthem for Sensation Belgium in 2005.

Beyond the studio, Jezper has played at some of the biggest stages in the scene: Trance Energy in Utrecht, Mysteryland, Passion in the UK, Privilege Ibiza, the O2 Arena in London, Luminosity Beach Festival, and Tomorrowland.

Jezper is also one of the three original creators of trance.nu, one of the early online hubs for the trance community, where he designed the original layout and graphics.

In 2011, he released his debut album We Might Fall on Intuition Recordings. After a period of prolific output, life shifted. Becoming a father changed his priorities. He stepped away from production, not out of disinterest, but out of clarity.

In February 2026, Airbase returned with Everything Else Could Wait on Black Hole Recordings. A track that explains both the absence and the reason for it. The title says it all.

His approach hasn't changed much over the decades. Melody has always been the thing, but the best ones start as feelings. The rest is just getting out of the way. Details reveal themselves over time. He draws inspiration more from classical music, folk, and jazz than from the dance floor. He's never chased trends, never forced himself into a mold that didn't fit.

Whatever comes next will come at his own pace.
