Simon Eliasson was born in 1985 to a mother with a record collection consisting of Prince, Bowie, The Cure, Joy Division, Stone Roses and the lot. It was a winning lottery ticket, and although the first record he bought on his own was to be Kriss Kross 1992 single Jump (a fine example of when hip-hop meets pop) it was that collection of records that cemented his taste in music later on.

Fuelled by an equal hunger for literature, these two interests would merge in his early teens into various fanzine projects and later export into the blog craze at the turn of the millennium. Between 2009 and 2013 he ran the blog Diskoakademin, focusing on biographies of unsung disco producers and the weirder side of the disco spectrum. During this time he was also active on the collective blog Prejka, posting essays on various topics along the counterculture spectrum.

Since 2014 he has been freelancing as a copywriter for a number of record labels, specialising in liner notes.
