Biography
Kohib is the primary studio moniker of Norwegian artist, Øivind Andersen Sjøvoll. The DJ, producer and club organiser has been actively producing exquisitely formed and far-reaching music for two decades, releasing cosmically-centred sounds on labels including Beatservice, Paper and Sprechen, and compilation series like Buddha Bar. Ranging in glorious tone from the sweetest sunset soundtracks to throbbing meta-disco deviance, his expansive sound palette is both rich with vibrant luminosity and refreshingly difficult to predict.
Kohib has collaborated with numerous singers; Lydia Waits, Bel Canto's Anneli Drecker, Mari Boine and Dagny. On top of this, he serves as producer and band member of High Heeled Giants.
Kohib's diverse yet distinct sound palette has its roots firmly planted in the analogue realm of vintage rarities, as well as contemporary favourites. He is beyond doubt an artist whose exquisitely imagined work elegantly soars above the saturated field, and whose exceptional work continues to move and inspire in equal measure.
