Swedish EBM trio CK 37 ready debut album ‘Inget Hat’ on Audite Records
CK 37
Swedish EBM / synth trio CK 37 will release their debut album “Inget Hat” via Audite Records on January 9, 2026, on vinyl and digital formats. The band describes the record as “calculated body music with zero tolerance for indifference.”
Built on steady, hard-edged sequences and sharp drum programming, “Inget Hat” continues the Scandinavian, Swedish-language angle the band established on their recent singles. The material combines EBM, synth and broader electronic body music elements with a dry, dark humour that runs through both lyrics and visuals, echoing the masked, hooded stage aesthetic and character-driven videos such as the “Svett” clip.
The album has 9 tracks: “Vinyl”, “Gymsadist”, “Svett”, “Vaken”, “800 Grader”, “Gammal är äldst”, “8 Bitars Ren Extas”, “Ikoner” and “Motorväg (Fan Fan Fan)”. The album pulls together the band’s run of singles in album form, with “800 Grader” (listed as “800°” on digital platforms).
About CK 37
CK 37 is a Swedish EBM / synth trio whose name abbreviates “Centralkalkylator 37”, the airborne computer developed by Datasaab for the Saab 37 Viggen fighter-bomber in the early 1970s. The group brings a mix of EBM, industrial and electropop, using Swedish-language vocals, masked live visuals and a conceptual mix of human, machine and mascot-style panda imagery.
The trio consists of S.A. Dist, Ossi Oscillator and The Synth Panda. Dist has a background in AI and data, while Ossi Oscillator is described as a former fighter pilot; The Synth Panda completes the line-up as the project’s masked on-stage presence and synth player.
CK 37 introduced themselves in October 2024 with the debut single “Gymsadist“, released via pbhmedia. They returned later that month with “Svett”, then closed out 2024 with the three-track single “8 Bitars Ren Extas”, both also through pbhmedia.
In 2025 the trio moved to Audite Records for a series of digital singles. The two-track “800°” arrived on 23 May 2025, pairing the title track with a remix of “Svett” by Punch Reverse. August 2025 brought the single “Gammal är äldst”, backed with a Nature of Wires remix of “8 Bitars Ren Extas” and a Neuf remix of “Svett”. Earlier that year, CK 37 also issued the Kraftwerk tribute “Autobahn (Fan Fan Fan)“, a two-track single that includes a Nature of Wires remix.
“Inget Hat” is CK 37’s first full-length release and brings the previous singles together as part of a broader album narrative, consolidating their move from initial pbhmedia to Audite Records.
