Norwegian electronic music has been quietly cultivating some of the scene’s most compelling talents, and V. Christie stands as a prime example of the country’s evolving sonic landscape. The alias of Vebjørn Christie, this multifaceted DJ and producer has been steadily building momentum with his distinctive approach to electronic music—one that seamlessly weaves together techno, UK garage, house, ambient, IDM, and future bass into something entirely his own.
Christie’s latest release, “Petrichor,” arrives as his first single under the DGA umbrella and serves as a compelling introduction to his atmospheric sound design. Named after the distinctive scent that rises from earth after rain, the track lives up to its evocative title, blending ambient textures with IDM influences while maintaining the driving energy essential for dancefloor moments. The production showcases Christie’s ability to balance introspection with club-ready momentum—a skill that’s earned him regular slots at major Norwegian venues including Lokal Klubb, HAVET, Tyven, and Studentersamfundet. His performances have extended well beyond Norway’s borders, with appearances at Landstreff Lillehammer and Berlin’s notoriously discerning underground rave circuit.
Beyond his production work, Christie has established himself as a tastemaker through his Norwegian electronic music radio program Sagtann, further cementing his role as a key figure in the country’s electronic music ecosystem.
“Petrichor” captures the essence of renewal and nostalgia that defines much of Christie’s work—emotions that feel particularly resonant as he embarks on this new chapter with DGA. If this release is any indication of what’s to come, V. Christie’s journey from Norway’s club circuit to global recognition is just beginning.
