[[Image:]]Enviken is a village in the Swedish province of Dalarna.
Enviken is a record company in the Swedish province of Dalarna.
Enviken is mostly known for Enviken Records.
Rockabilly is the base for Enviken Records, allthough anything that is ROCK & ROLL will find it's place here & especialy the musik from Enviken & the surrounding areas.
Enviken Records is both a record label & a mailorder company. Allthough we've been mainly a label until recently, as we took over Sunjay's mailorder service from the first of January 2002.
Sunjay had served the swedish market with Rock & Roll, Rockabilly, Blues, Country etc, for about twenty years & is a well established name.
Enviken Records was launched by me: Patrik Staffansson, after a few years just walking around thinking I'd like to start a label. I finally did something about in the fall of 1997 as the local band "The Swinging Doors" came up with some recordings I thought the whole world should hear. It resulted in the first release on the label, a 45rpm I still dig the most !
In 1998 I bought Booze Records from it's founder Håkan Svennbeck. It became a sister label to Enviken. Slowly things has developed & it's with great pleasure that I see the interest for "our" music is growing, at least here in Sweden wich is were I operate the most outside the scene so to speak. Since the start I've been trying to get the regular record shops to stock our releases & sending records to Radio & TV stations here in Sweden, stations that play the hits of today ( in the beginning I thought they'd shout Halleluja! When they'd get to hear some real music, it wasn't really that simple :0), nowadays there's actually alot of tracks from Enviken Records out there in the air. Give me some more hours on the phone & soon I'll wear them down. Just you wait & see. . . . . .
Allthough, today you'll find our releases at any good " rockin' " records shop near you !!
I've been playing drums with "Riley McOwen & The Sleazy Rustic Boys" since the start in 1986 & somewhere there I guess the idea to all this came up, as we were recording in livingrooms, garages etc. looking for the right sound. Moving around a microphone until everything had the right level & then we went for it & somewhere there is the very essence of it all: if it sounds good with one mike we'll go for it !
A missplaced note here & there really doesn't matter if the groove & spirit is there. Right !?
