Martin “Bassic” Lindhe, born in 1971 in Borås, Sweden, is a Swedish musician and composer whose style blends electronica, ambient and dance. His music is often progressive and suggestive in nature. Lindhe began composing in the early 1990s, mostly on borrowed equipment, but did not publish any music until after 1999. He moved to the United States that year and uploaded his tracks to MP3.com as a storage solution while relocating. Electronica fans soon noticed them, and he built a large following on the platform, with his tracks downloaded over 7 million times by the time CNET took over the service. For almost two years he ranked among the site’s most downloaded artists in electronica, new age, mood music and progressive trance. In 2002 he was nominated for Best Unsigned Artist at Yahoo! Internet Life’s Internet Music Awards in New York City, and he released a collection of his most popular songs, Daydreamer, in 2005. After Digital Musicworks International signed him, he released Brighter Than the Sun in 2006, which remains among his most appreciated and best-selling releases. Since 2007 he has independently published his music. His albums include Omniom (2009), Voco (2015), Motus (2015) and Biochrome (2017), all self-recorded and produced.
