RIKSTEN

Riksten is a Berlin-based electronic pop project founded in 2025 by Sten Wanski and Henrik Birke. Rooted in the melodic sensibilities of 1980s synth-pop and the drive of modern dance music, Riksten combines club-level energy with song-oriented songwriting.

Before Riksten, Sten produced EDM under the alias ARCOVER with progressive house producer Dirk Bettermann. Step by step these high-energy productions will be remastered and integrated into a broader artistic framework — transforming them into a coherent project built around identity, atmosphere, and live performance. 

Today, those early tracks form part of the “Riksten Kosmos” alongside newly written material: melodic electronic songs designed equally for the dancefloor and attentive listening.
