Artistry
Musical style
Basshunter defines his music as eurodance.[122] He says it is cheerful, full of energy and very melodic, stating it does not sound like other types of music, and that producers and artists display their own identities in their works. He is passionate about basslines and uses them in his music.[123] Basshunter likes to create songs in minor scales.[14] He has at least five unknown pseudonyms under which he produces music in secret.[8] He always takes his laptop on concert tours so he can spontaneously record ideas and return to them when he is back in his main studio.[108] Basshunter composes music and writes lyrics himself, though sometimes his agent helps with the lyrics to find the right English words.[124] He likes to write lyrics that audiences can identify with.[125] In 2018 Basshunter said that the music industry changed in previous years and it is harder now more than ever to stand out from other artists because it is easier to produce music. He added that it is more important than ever to adapt and an artist has to create something that people haven't heard before and described it as a holy grail.[126] In 2020 Basshunter described himself as quite an emotional producer after a few years break from producing music.[127]
As influences, he mentions listening to DJ Balloon[pl][128] and Rocco[de; pl], and bands Warp Brothers[16] and Snap!.[128] He also listened to many underground tracks that had never been released or are not widely known by the general public,[7] as well as German and Dutch techno music,[129] trance,[130] reggae, funk and blues music; particularly the music of Ray Charles.[30] He considers Ali Payami as one of the best music producers, songwriters and DJ's.[131] The first music release he bought is a single "The Way" by Fastball in the 1990s.[132] He is fan of Robbie Williams.[133] Basshunter's work has influenced Avicii,[120]Bladee,[134] DCPA[135] and Earmake.[136] CMAT,[137] Johan Gunterberg from De Vet Du,[138]Nordpolen[af; fr; sv],[139]Sanna Martinez-Matz[sv],[140] Surf Mesa[141] and Linda Thelenius like Basshunter's music.[142] Stefán Finnbogason from Sykur[143] and Throttle[de; es] listen to Basshunter's music.[144]
The first computer Basshunter used was the Atari ST.[145] After achieving commercial success, he bought software to produce his music.[53] Around 95% of his music is created with software,[128] including digital audio workstations such as FL Studio, Logic Pro,[3] Logic Studio,[146] Pro Tools, Cubase,[147] and Virtual Studio Technology plugins.[53] He also plays guitar.[30] He said stores buy an album for about 100 Swedish krona, of which he gets paid 12-13 percent. He said people think he listens to techno in his headphones all the time but he rarely listen to the music he produces, which gives him a wider perspective.[8]
Basshunter considers his fan base to be very important for his career[16] and knows many of his non-Scandinavian fans actually prefer his songs to be in Swedish.[128] Writing in English may be an advantage for reaching international audiences[123] but he has also said he likes the challenge of writing songs in English.[53]
