Kalle Jonsson, known professionally as Dubmood, is a Swedish producer and composer of electronic, pop and rock music, best known for their chiptune (or "8-bit") works, and within the Warez scene. They are a longtime member of Razor 1911, considered by the U.S. Department of Justice to be the oldest hacking group on the Internet.[1] Dubmood has contributed to many musical productions both as a solo artist, in groups, and as a producer.[2][3]
Dubmood gained exposure on the 8-bit scene in the late 1990s through the PC, Atari and Amiga demo scenes where their music was featured. Following a rapidly growing interest in chiptune from Europeans, Dubmood began touring in Scandinavia.
Since 2006, Jonsson has lived in Marseille in France, where they founded the Data Airlines label and pursued an artistic career, producing and touring in particular with Oai Star.[citation needed] Dubmood is widely known in the chiptune community for their initiatives and experimental blending of different genres.
