Michael Lindgren
DJ Trexx is a pseudonym of
Swedish actor, producer and writer
Michael Lindgren (born 14 March 1978 in
Stockholm), who is a part of the
Grotesco comedy collective. DJ Trexx is a satirical figure who was initially portrayed as a
Croatian
disc jockey who performs
kitschy
eurotechno songs, but has also at times appeared to be
Russian. In the finals of
Melodifestivalen 2009, DJ Trexx performed a version of the song "
Tingeling", which had been a recurring theme of several comical between-acts performed by the Grotesco team in that year's episodes of Melodifestivalen. The song "
Tingaliin", the Russian version of "Tingeling" was released as a single and hit number one on
Sverigetopplistan in March 2009.
DJ Trexx was also commissioned for the song ''A Union of Peace Love and Bass'' to encourage young voters to vote in the
2009 European Parliament election.
In 2021, he appeared as part of sketch in the ''Andra Chansen'' round of Swedish Eurovision selection
Melodifestivalen.
