Ten Years of GENTS
After ten years of danceable synth hooks and larger-than-life energy, Copenhagen duo GENTS are turning the volume down – and the intimacy up.

GENTS is a musical partnership between Theis Vesterløkke and Niels Fejrskov Juhl, creating music that spans from energetic synthpop to introspective acoustic storytelling. Over a decade, the duo has developed a distinctive sound that combines electronic production with genuine emotion and playful wit.

Masculinity (2026)
On the album Masculinity, GENTS trade in lush synthpop for fragile acoustic guitars, storytelling lyrics, and a more stripped-back soundscape.

Masculinity explores what it means to be a modern, multifaceted man – a soft, privileged “good guy” who still struggles to live up to his own ideals. The album moves between the personal and the political: from lying in a yoga pose doubting your skills as a father, to being praised for not killing a cat; from splitting the cost of birth control and calling yourself a feminist – to wondering if it actually makes a difference.

Though the familiar GENTS wink might still be there, the new almost folk-like songs reveal a different kind of vulnerability — two artists in their thirties, inviting listeners beneath the skin and into their doubts through raw, self-exposing, and seemingly trivial stories.

Released: January 30, 2026 on Konkylie.

As Head of Sound at Crey Games, I was responsible for all aspects of audio production, from sound design and music composition to technical implementation and audio engineering.

My Role

I took over this project from Tobias Nielsen in November 2023. A lot of the fundamentals was already setup in Unity using Unity’s own audio system. Since then I’ve been improving the setup and adding music and SFX as the game has kept on growing. I have been focusing on continuing the playful and optimistic style of the game.
