Cheiron Productions


Cheiron Studios was a recording studio located on Kungsholmen, , Sweden, founded in 1992 by Denniz PoP and Tom Talomaa, most famous for producing popular music acts of the late 1990s, such as Backstreet Boys, Robyn, Boyzone, NSYNC, Dana Dragomir and Britney Spears. In addition, Cheiron Studios was also a record label (Cheiron Records) in affiliation with BMG for a while, and a music publishing service (Cheiron Songs), although those ventures were abandoned in favor of music production.

After Denniz PoP's death in 1998, Cheiron closed in 2000. Talomaa and Max Martin reformed the company as The Location. The studio is currently owned by Roxy Recordings which also includes the Hanssonic Studios of Anders Hansson.

In 1986 a group of ten Swedish disc jockeys founded "SweMix", a remix service, as a response to DiscoNet, Hot Tracks and DMC. Those included Denniz PoP (née Dag "Dagge" Volle), René Hedemyr (JackMaster Fax), Sten Hallström (StoneBridge), Emil Hellman (SoundFactory) and Johan Järpsten (JJ). At the beginning they were producing and distributed remixes of tracks without permission, so-called "bootlegs", for limited underground distribution on their newly founded Remixed Records. Though being an underground collective, Remixed Records got noticed by, not only Scandinavia, but also Germany, Italy and The Netherlands. Tom Talomaa, a nightclub owner, got involved and supported the studio with more sophisticated equipment. Artists were dropping by SweMix to get a deal or a production. As a result of the requests, two labels were started: Basement Division for the underground and SweMix Records via Swedish Sonet for commercial records.
