Oak Ay // 23.59

Oak Ay is the electronica alias of Simen Helbæk Kjølberg (Trondheim) — a project that weaves together organic textures, analog synths, and dreamlike soundscapes with a rhythmic, danceable energy.

After making an impression at Trondheim Calling 2020 as a duo, Oak Ay has become an artist to watch on the Norwegian electronica scene. Oak Ay is the only artist to have released an official remix for the band Kalandra — the remix version of The Waiting Game has now surpassed 200,000 streams on Spotify. Several releases, including Hipass Femme from the EP Everything Is Oak Ay (2021), have received attention on NRK P3 Urørt. In 2022, a music video was also released for the single Heater, further expanding Oak Ay’s visual and conceptual universe.

Now, Oak Ay returns with Simen alone at the helm, following a period of development, experimentation, and reflection — presenting a sound that feels confident, uncompromising, and independent of boundaries and rules.

In September 2025, Oak Ay released the EP SMALLHAUL on the renowned, electronica-focused Tromsø-based label Beatservice Records. More releases are planned for 2025 and 2026.

With associations to artists such as Bonobo, Four Tet, Tycho, and Röyksopp, Oak Ay delivers electronic music that resonates far beyond the dance floor.
