Music producers and sound engineers '''Soundism''', with a music recording studio located in [[Västerås]] ([[Sweden]]), are part of the [[Swedish hip hop]] [[culture]]. Not only have new artists emerged, but also other actors in the [[hip hop culture]] that are less visible to the general public. Soundism has been one of the supporters of hip hop artists in Sweden, which meant that they could put forward recordings to the international scene. Growing out creating music of prerecorded music on vinyl records with the [[Dj]] style [[Turntablism]], Soundism understood what sound that was required for hip hop records. Previous music producers and studios in Sweden mainly focused on [[pop (music)|pop]] or [[rock (music)|rock]] music. Hip hop music has origins in Reggae music, which partially explains Soundism's work within both of these genres.

Soundism is a group of music producers and sound engineers with music recording studios located in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Västerås in Sweden. They are part of the Swedish hip hop culture. Not only have new artists emerged, but also other actors in the hip hop culture that are less visible to the general public. Soundism has been one of the supporters of hip hop artists in Sweden, which meant that they could put forward recordings to the international scene. Growing out creating music of prerecorded music on vinyl records with the Dj style Turntablism, Soundism understood what sound that was required for hip hop records. Previous music producers and studios in Sweden mainly focused on pop or rock music. Hip hop music has origins in reggae music, which partially explains Soundism's work within both of these genres.
