Career
Hans Edler came from a musical family. In the 1960s, he became a teen idol, when he played in the two bands Ghostriders, a popular band influenced by The Shadows and We 4. In 1969 he signed for a three-year project Elektroakustisk Musik i Sverige (Express Mail Service) in Stockholm led by Knut Wiggen and Gunnel Lundholm.
His initial studio work appeared in his 1971 album Elektron Kukéso which he released on his own record label Marilla.
The music was completely created with computers and other electronic equipment at Express Mail Service as a mixture of popular, psychedelics and electro-acoustic experiments. On top, Edler added his dark, often mournful songs.
He has continued his musical career ever since, also managing other artists through his studio. 2004 he released also Elektron Kukéso on the record label Boy Wonder Records.
In the 1980s he had also released a series of disco hit covers entitled Jukebox Graffiti.
In 2009, he released Remember the Sixties carving out a niche as a revivalist from the 1960s.
