Norwegian dance act Röyksopp have heaped praise on their fellow Scandinavian artists.

The duo teamed up with a number of singers, including Robyn and The Knife's Karin Dreijer-Andersson, for forthcoming album Junior, and have claimed that their "inclusive" relationship helped increase their creativity.

"There are a lot of good things coming out of Scandinavia at the moment from Sweden, Norway and Denmark," band member Svein Berge told Gigwise.

"We know these people and they know us: it is all intertwined and very inclusive, the whole operation. I don’t mind being associated with these enormously talented artists.

"Röyksopp are a bit on the side of it, but we try and invite ourselves into that clique, obviously."

The group's debut Melody A.M. sold over a million copies when it was released in October 2001.

Junior is released on March 23.
