Mitch Murder is the pseudonym of Johan Bengtsson, an instrumentalist and producer hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, who has carved out a distinctive niche in the world of electronic music. Recognized as a leading figure in the synthwave genre, his sound is imbued with a nostalgic reverence for 1980s pop culture, combining the era's signature electronic melodies and atmospheric nostalgia with a contemporary production polish. Mitch's music is a heady homage to the analog synths and upbeat rhythms of retro cinema, video games, and genre TV shows.

Emerging onto the scene in the late 2000s, Mitch Murder's discography has grown to become the backbone of the synthwave movement, deeply influencing its aesthetic and sound. Among his most recent works are the cinematic "Amberina Sun" and the "Trackmania NEO-CUPRA: District 2 // Intricacy (Original Game Soundtrack)", where he once again demonstrates versatility, adapting his signature sound to the vibrant world of video game music. With "Selection 6", Mitch continues to hone his craft, delivering impeccably produced tracks that seem to transport listeners back in time, while "Stratos Zero I: 2012-2022" showcases a decade's worth of his influential soundscapes. Tracks like "Nemesis" and "Body Talk" reaffirm his mastery of the genre, melding melodic hooks with driving rhythms that evoke a sense of 80s-tinted futurism. Mitch Murder's work is not only a celebration of a bygone era's ethos but a continuous contribution to the ever-expanding realm of electronic music, maintaining a sense of timelessness while pushing the boundaries of nostalgia-infused sonic experiences.
