Earlier this year, he topped the charts with the trouser-shaking subsonic wobble of ‘Burning Up’ (which enjoyed support from Bloody Beetroots, Plump DJ’s, Silvio Berlusconi and many more). Check out here.

Nights Like Bonita
Mix some Icona Pop with Madonna and you get this fresh sounding bit of naughty-but-nice pop.
New Music: Daniel Oliver
Swedish pop from an Icelandic hunk in the making. Check out here.
New Music: Mercedes and I
It feels like a lifetime since I blogged about any Swedish stuff- this is fantastic new dark pop from Mercedes and I. Check out here.
New Music: Rob & Nino
Free Download: The Knocks ‘Brightside (The Sound Of Arrows Remix)’
Everyone loves The Sound of Arrows. This Swedish electropop duo have been causing huge stir since dropping their debut album earlier this month. This is them putting their own magic touch to The Know’s ‘Brightside’, and as expected, it cheers you up to no end.
New Music: Dinner for Dinosaurs
Swedish pop/ funk that’s really easy to listen to and really easy to like. Check out their little bi-lingual video clip. The singer’s got a killer smooth voice. Check out here.
New Music: Urban Cone
Free Download: Erik Hassle ‘Hurtful (Zalza Chip Remix)’
I really like this remix by Zalza of Erik Hassle’s epic ‘Hurtful’. And best of all, you can enjoy it as much as you like as it’s a free download!
New Music: EJ
This lady has one massive voice. Swedish but based in London and just signed to Epic Records. There’s no links to her as yet- that’s how fresh this is. Just enjoy it til she’s on rotation on the radio in 2012.
Niva ‘Dirty Water’
Previously featured in February this year, this is the most outstanding track I’ve heard all week, and this makes me so happy. Check out here.
New Music: Serenades
This is probably my favourite band of the week so far. Swedish duo that make blissfully beautiful melodies that are so easy to listen to and enjoy. Check out here.
Norlie & KKV ‘När Jag Går Ner’
I’ve been listening to this for the last couple of weeks and it’s one of my favourite songs on my iTouch right now. Do I understand it? Not completely. But who cares… good songs are good.
First Watch: Jon Ink ‘Every Little Inch’
Previously featured on here a few weeks ago, Swedish Jon Ink is back with a new video. It’s crazy catchy- this kid really needs a big record deal! He’s also acting as a guestjudge in Webjokern, the swedish eurovision song contest 2012.
New Music: 047
I can’t stop listening to this. Beautifully minimal and uplifting electropop from this Swedish duo. They seem to have been around for a really long time and I won’t be surprised if this song takes them to a bigger audience. Check out here.
New Music: Amanda Mair
New Music: Son Of A Kid
Three beautiful voices, three empty tupperware boxes and Robyn
First Watch: Niki & The Dove ‘The Drummer’
Niki & The Dove was featured here long, long before many people started to realise her amazingness. This is her new single and it is sick. The beats just melt like butter. Check out here.
This song is outselling Coldplay in Sweden…
This is currently number 1 on the Swedish iTunes charts, ahead of Coldplay (who seem to be number 1 pretty much anywhere). It doesn’t sound like a hit, but there’s something quietly epic about it. Interesting. Find out more about Deportees here.
