sløwkey is the alias of Simon Wilén, a Swedish producer whose career began in uptempo hardcore under the name Sinner. This era saw his tracks featured at major festivals like Defqon.1, Decibel and Thunderdome, taking him beyond the stages in Sweden and closer to central Europe. Seeking a new direction to fuel his ever growing love for music, he made a decisive shift transitioning from the hardcore scene into techno and trance.
Rooted in intensity rather than locked to a tempo, sløwkey's sound moves fluidly between hardgroove and schranz, adapting to the stage, never compromising on energy. A lineage that traces back to hardcore gives his sets a raw edge that few in the techno space can claim.
In 2025, sløwkey brought his vision to Amsterdam Dance Event, one of the world's most prominent electronic music gatherings, co-hosting a showcase with a local venue, marking a significant step in his international presence.
