Henrik Nilsson, known professionally as Metronome, is a pioneering Swedish progressive trance producer who has helped shape the modern sound of the genre. Born in 1982, his musical journey began in the early 2000s, where he quickly emerged as a standout talent within the European electronic scene. After an initial period of prolific output—releasing tracks on influential labels such as Spin Twist Records, ZMA, and Jum-Jam—Nilsson took a strategic hiatus in 2007 to evolve his sound. This era of experimentation resulted in a shift from traditional "hard offbeat" rhythms toward a more sophisticated, melodic, and "groovy" aesthetic, heavily influenced by innovators like Phaxe.

Metronome made a highly anticipated return in 2013, signing with the renowned Blue Tunes Records, a partnership that solidified his status as a top-tier artist. His signature style—characterized by emotional depth and dancefloor-driven energy—is perfectly suited for both peak-time club sets and sun-drenched outdoor festivals. Nilsson’s extensive catalog features collaborations with industry heavyweights like Morten Granau and Ranji, and his tracks consistently perform at the highest levels on Beatport's Progressive Trance charts. Today, he remains a staple at major international events like the Indian Spirit Festival, continuing to push the technical and creative boundaries of modern trance music
