In the spring of 2010, after leaving a long time residency at Toronto’s Guvernment nightclub, Sydney landed a residency in Miami, Florida. Her release "Give It Up For Me" on Mau5trap Recordings was one of Beatport’s highest selling songs, earning Sydney the rank of first female electronic music producer to have a Top 10 hit on the platform.Sydney’s success is largely attributed to the relentless touring schedule which she’s upheld over the years. On top of that, Sydney has released music on some of the most recognized labels in the industry including Knee Deep in Sound, Mau5trap, VIVa Music, Desert Hearts, Kerri Chandler’s Mad Tech Records, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records and more.
The label quickly became a success, producing several chart-topping singles since its creation. In 2009, Sydney Blu founded her own imprint, Blu Music, on the principle of authentic, dancefloor-rich house and techno.

Last but not least, the subway in Stockholm operates 24/7 during weekends, and there are many night busses to choose from. More often than not, festive summer nights end with a cool after-hours swim and a lovely walk home in the sunrise. Longer and brighter evenings, with balmy weather, make the club scene kick into another gear and truly blossom out with dancefloors under the stars at rooftops and outdoor clubs like Trädgården. You’re not doing Stockholm’s nightlife justice if you don’t mention the city’s summer clubs. And if you’re up for something fancier still, why not spend the evening under the chandeliers at one of Stockholm’s entertainment institutions? Venerable nightclubs like Berns have welcomed partygoers for over 100 years.
From raw concrete and industrial atmosphere at Slakthuset, with walls trembling from deep bass frequencies to cocktails at stylish design clubs like Sturecompagniet. Which is another way of saying that the club environment itself is very diverse. And several of Stockholm’s largest clubs, Södra Teatern for example, have multiple dance floors all spinning different kinds of music. While some of the city’s clubs focus on different genres of electronic music, others serve up Hip Hop, Salsa, or Pop nostalgia. And every week international DJs make a tour stop here, so there’s no shortage of high octane nightclub discoveries to be made whether you visit a club, a large party, or a music festival.
This, together with an innovative and thriving grassroots community of local talent and event organizers (Studio Barnhus, Jenny Olander, Elfenberg, and Ladies Love Hip Hop to name a few), has made Stockholm a great destination to experience club life and electronic music. Both in heavier and darker Techno-genres (like Adam Beyer, La Fleur, and Joel Mull), as well as commercially more successful House (like for example Swedish House Mafia, Alesso, and Eric Prydz). The city has a long and storied history of club music, having been home to superstar DJs and producers for decades. During the last couple of years, electronic music has grown exponentially in Stockholm.
