Cheiron Studios was a recording studio located on Kungsholmen, Stockholm, 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, 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001005195819/http://www.cheiron.se/ )〕 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. ==1986–92== 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.〔(SweMix @ Disco-Disco.com ) at www.disco-disco.com〕 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.〔( StoneBridge & SweMix History )〕 SweMix Records signed Swedish dance-acts like Dr. Alban, Kayo, Dayeene, Leila K. and had their first biggest hit with Dr. Alban's "Hello Afrika" (produced by Denniz PoP). In 1991 the company was divided and sold Remixed Records to Giovanni Sconfienza, who later converted it into a full-fledged label (releasing artists such as Solid Base and Sonic Dream Collective).〔 The following year SweMix further split up into SweMix Productions and SweMix Records & Publishing. The latter was sold to BMG and taken over by Denniz PoP and Tom Talomaa, who renamed it to Cheiron and began working in the studio in 1992.〔(The Denniz Pop Tribute @ Disco-Disco.com ) at www.disco-disco.com〕 SweMix Productions, however, continued as a production company and a couple of months later StoneBridge made it famous with his remix of Robin S. – “Show Me Love”, which put Sweden on the international map of club music. The Danish record company Mega Records sent Denniz PoP a demo tape by a then-unknown band called Ace of Base. The song on the tape was called "Mr. Ace" and although Denniz was not particularly impressed by it at first, the tape got stuck in his car stereo so he ended up listening to it over and over until he said ''"I gotta do something with this"'' and the solution was to make a reggae tune out of it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuy8xTjDz5w )〕 The song was recorded at the SweMix Studio by Denniz and the song was retitled "All That She Wants". The song was an unexpected hit and catapulted both Ace of Base and Denniz PoP into stardom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheiron Studios」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
