Prinz Ezo
Real name: Bjørn Christiansen
Effective period / Period of releases: 2005
Prinz Ezo was a pseudonym created by an acclaimed Danish electronic musician Bjørn Christiansen, or Bjørn Svin, for more experimental and minimalistic productions — in the artist's own words, "narrative dance music [...] with tension, energy and drama that aims to be not music." One of Prinz Ezo's earliest appearances was in December 2004 on Dansk Lyd 2xLP compilation from ElectrARos label, listed as a producer for a one-off collaborative duo Contradition Boys with Aasmund Kverneland/Copyflex.In 2005, Prinz Ezo debuted with a full-length album on a Copenhagen-based label Tech-Nology, available as The Body Offset 2x12" or an expanded Inside Buddy CD edition. It featured two Prins Esso's tracks from 2002, initially released via Pelle Krøgholt's innovative netlabel DataMusik. The next year, Ezo presented another 12-inch on Tech-Nology, 911 Dancehall in the edition of only 50 copies, recorded with yet another Aasmund Kverneland's alter ego Flext. He also released Organic Squares 12" EP on Tender Productions in November 2006.
