Tobias Bernstrup - Shadow Dancer (2025)

Acclaimed Swedish multimedia artist and electronic music visionary TOBIAS BERNSTRUP returns with his highly anticipated new 7th studio album, „Shadow Dancer“, on German indie label Nadanna Records.
Known for his fusion of visual art, retro-futuristic aesthetics, and Italo-inspired synthpop, BERNSTRUP’s latest offering dives deep into the shadows of the dancefloor—where desire, danger, and digital nostalgia collide. „Shadow Dancer“ marks a bold evolution in BERNSTRUP’s sound, channeling pulsating analog synths, icy vocal hooks, and cinematic atmosphere into a darkly euphoric collection of tracks. The album explores themes of identity, transformation, and nocturnal seduction, blending BERNSTRUP’s signature 1980s stylings with a sharply contemporary edge.
„This album explores the tension between appearance and reality—how we perform identity, desire, and memory in a world flooded with simulation,“ says BERNSTRUP. „It’s both a personal and cultural reflection, rooted in the shadowy edges of nightlife, surveillance, and performance.“
Standout single tracks like „Chiaroscuro“, „Legend“, „And The Smile“ and „Jackie 60“ showcase BERNSTRUP’s unique ability to fuse melancholic nostalgia with dancefloor-ready energy. The album’s visual aesthetic is just as striking, featuring dystopian glam imagery, gothic noir, and sleek, gender-fluid costuming.
„Shadow Dancer“ will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally. The CD / Digital versions will include additional remixes by a selection of cutting edge artists and DJs from the European and American electronic music scene: Harlem Electronics (SE), Kendal (Ritmo Fatale, FR), Andi (Synthicide, US), and Die Selektion (DE).
