JIMKEN produces Synthwave and Chillwave with Hip Hop influences from his base between Denmark, Sweden, and Thailand. Published by Sony Music Publishing, his music has been featured on international radio from PBS affiliates in the United States to Radio 538 in the Netherlands and RTP in Portugal.
The sound started with late-night drives in his parents' car, dashboard lights glowing against '80s mixtapes that seemed to stretch time itself. Those moments became the foundation for music that captures that same feeling, being suspended between past and future on an empty highway at 2 AM.
JIMKEN's tracks like "Undercover Lover" and "Trouble Lifts Us" combine classic Synthwave and Chillwave elements with Pop hooks and Hip Hop narratives.
"The '80s called., they want their groove back," but his original compositions blend different musical styles like Synthwave atmospherics, Chillwave melodies, Pop hooks, and Hip Hop storytelling.
As a digital slowmad, he splits his time between Denmark, Sweden, and Thailand, drawing inspiration from the contrast between Scandinavian minimalism and Southeast Asian urban energy. The precision and discipline from his Muay Thai training carries into his production process. Calculated timing, controlled power, and knowing when everything clicks into place.
Each track is made with care, whether building Pop hooks or creating atmospheric pieces. Currently working on new material, JIMKEN continues building a catalog for anyone who's felt the pull of the ‘80s and city lights at midnight, from Aalborg’s quiet streets to Bangkok's electric energy.
His music connects with people who appreciate both nostalgic warmth and contemporary edge. That feeling many know of being drawn to neon-lit windows and endless highways.
