Some Friday beats

So, happy Friday! And if you’re in the UK, happy Jubilee! I’m not crazy over royalty but who can say no to an extra day off work? Anyway, this is a little track to get you going through the rest of the day by Wolfgang Gartner.

The Aston Shuffle

I haven’t heard any decent sounds coming out of Australia for a while until now- this house duo from Canberra’s new EP is so fresh to hear!

New Music: Lissi Dancefloor Disaster

Exciting new Swedish electropop Check out here.

New Music: Nova Delai

Cute new Swedish talent from the 17 year old Nova Delai. I can’t wait to hear more from this kid. Check out here.

Benga feat. Bebe Black ‘Icon’

A brilliant new dubstep track by Benga featuring Alfitude favourite Bebe Black.

New Music: Broken Hands

I’ve featured a band called ‘Broken Door’, and today it’s the turn of ‘Broken Hands’. Sounds painful but this is some very good indie pop which I’ve grown very fond of. Check out here.

New Music: Faye

I love this song a whole ton. It has that Swedish electro ballad style that just grabs you by the heart and leaves you a little breathless. Check out here.

First Watch: Jay James Picton ‘Play It By Heart’

This is the first single taken from his album due out in early Summer, and was recorded between Brooklyn and LA with a stellar group of session musicians from the hip hop & soul scenes.

The new Foxes single is rather good…

It’s a cross between Clare Maguire and Marina & The Diamonds but better, in my view.

New Music: Big Wave

This is a five piece lo fi guitar pop band from the South West of the UK. Check out here.

Eric Solomon to release an EP

I’ve been a fan of Eric Solomon– previously featured on here back in 2010, things seem to finally be rolling! Check out this EP. More to come soon.

New Music: Midnight Red

This is the newest, big-label boyband to come out of the USA. Track’s done by Gaga producer, RedOne. I actually think this is a pretty cool track. Check out here.

The Swedish Royal Guard performing Eurovision winner ‘Euphoria’ by Loreen

I am ridiculously happy for Sweden and Loreen winning this year’s Eurovision over the weekend. It was about time and the song deserved to win. In all it’s Swedish amazingness, watch the Swedish Royal Guard perform the winning song. It’s great!

As we’re Scandi-obsessed, we’ll be launching a microsite soon following the run up to Sweden 2013!

New Music: Mercedes

Expect to hear more from this London lady. Check out here.

A brilliantly cute music video

Kindness has always seemed to buck the coolness trend, which makes him pretty cool in his own way. The track doesn’t kick in until later on in this video, but it makes you appreciate the song so much more.
