Esperanto A counterculture platform built on the pillars of Responsibility, Transparency & Collaboration

Esperanto is a counterculture platform challenging the established and providing realistic alternatives to the norm. Our company name derives from the constructed language Esperanto, created in 1887 to serve as a universal bridge of communication, beyond geographical borders and cultural divisions. Everything we do is based on 3 key principles:

• Transparency
Clear two ways communication is the k

ey foundation of trust, and trust should be the center point of any relationship or endeavor. Therefore we aim to be open at all times regarding who we are, what our philosophy is, and what our business model looks like, as we want to archive a bilateral and long term relationship with our customers and partners based on mutual trust and goodwill.

• Collaboration
We think that in union and diversity there is strength, as our different backgrounds and life experiences allow us to fill each other's gaps, this way elevating our group capacity to tackle any challenge. We want to create a strong community and an oasis detached from formalities and nonessentials, a place where everyone is welcome and feels at home, opening the doors to creativity and freedom of expression.

• Responsibility
Social responsibility, economic responsibility, ecological responsibility...
Our individual every day actions all carry with them reactions and consequences that not only shape us, but collectively also shape our world. By being aware of this, we have the duty to create a better present & future by making smart and conscious choices.

The second release in our Droplets from Under the Rug podcast series is finally here, and features the emotional closing act by Ben Bak & Kristoffer Eikrem at Kulturkirken Jakob in April 2025.

Arriving to a wild dancefloor, Ben Bak & Kristoffer Eikrem immediately connected with the crowd by the front speaker. From there, the set unfolded through intuition and interplay, seamlessly blending tracks from their 2018 album Duets with brand new tech house productions created just weeks before for this performance.

The night reached its peak when the lights, sound, and final vocal sample rose together to the roof before fading into silence, leaving the church in a wave of sweat, emotion, and magic.
