Kygo, whose real name is Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, is the creator of that tropical house sound that’s burning through electronic dance music circles as I write. Kygo is Norwegian. So, I guess, given the fact that the winters in Norway can be downright chilly, it makes sense that the sounds of steel drums, the marimba and pan flute factor heavily. It helps that the music is simultaneously upbeat and relaxing.

Have a listen to “Stay”, a collaboration with Maty Noyes.
