Lagoona

Lagoona was a dance and techno band, consisting of producers Andreas Viklund (1980- ) and Bj?rn Karlsson (1976- ). The band was based in a small town called Porjus in northern Sweden. Lagoona was one of the first groups to call themselves "online artists" and they released their music on the internet in the MP3 format, free for everyone to download, long before the format became widely popular.

They first started making music in the tracker scene under the name TSEC (The Solid Energy Crew), and released their first two songs in October 1996. Their music got very popular on the internet, and being one of few artists to release legal MP3 songs created a lot of attention to the band. In early 1998, their first album was released. It was named "Dreams" after their first online hit from 1996 and it was completely home-brew and released by the bands own label. The money from the album helped the band build a real studio, and when they started using MIDI instead of tracker software, they changed name from TSEC to Lagoona (October 1998).
