Johan Agebjörn is most known as the songwriter and producer of Sally Shapiro, who got their breakthrough with “Disco Romance” (Paper Bag 2007), a nostalgic trip back to romantic italo disco of 1984. Johan creates atmospheric electronic music with a melancholic touch, and has as a solo musician released two ambient albums on Lotuspike. Lately he has been focusing on developing his nu-disco sound together with other producers and artists, resulting in his first pop disco album released under the name Johan Agebjörn (Paper Bag 2011).

As a DJ, Johan mostly plays italo disco from the 80s mixed with neo-italo disco of today. His mixes have been posted on web sites like Pitchfork, XLR8R, Valerie and Fact Magazine. He has also made official remixes for Lindstrøm, Glass Candy, Wolfram & Holy Ghost! among others – though the most played remix is probably his unofficial take of the music to 80s Nintendo game Mega Man II.
