It’s Christmas soon but this track from Sweden’s Mash Up International kicks a good carnival vibe.
Category: Swedish Music
Watch: Amason ‘Duvan’
Free Music: Owl Vision ‘Damnation’
Owl Vision is giving away this track as a free download through The EDM Network and Kannibalen Records.
Listen: Max Elto ‘Sjöhäst’
Gorgeous, dreamy track from Max Elto.
Watch: Lorentz ‘Där dit vinden kommer’ (feat. Jaqe, Duvchi, jj, Joy)
This track from Lorentz features Scandi indie and rap heavyweights Jaqe, Duvchi, jj and Joy. It’s not a favourite, but the way this manages to share so many distinctive styles while sounding complete is impressive.
Listen: RA ‘Prism’ (Trentemøller Remix)
Probably a little more on the hardcore of what’s usually featured on here but it’s reflective of the Monday I’ve had. Remix by Trentmøller for a RA track.
Sweden’s P3 Guld nominees announced!
Sweden’s P3 Guld (their equivalent of the UK’s Brits) was announced this year and if you follow this blog you’ll figure just how happy I am with the nominees this year. It’s practically a summary of Alfitude posts in 12 months..! I ran it through Google Translate so if some words look a little weird, that’s why.

Watch: Ansiktet ‘Fyra Våningar Upp’
New Music: Days of Elisa
Swedish indie with a heavy 60’s hippy/ hazy vibe. Check out here.
New Music: IIIII – LINES

Track of the week. Nothing beats that euphoric rush I get when I listen to some good new Swedish electropop for the first time. Check out here.
Listen: Eternal Death ‘Cry’
It’s a bizarre sensation listening to Eternal Death. On the one hand you expect the morbid, but then you realise it’s pretty sparky.
Watch: Naomi Pilgrim ‘It’s All Good’
Listen: Nadia Nair ‘Beautiful Poetry’
Nadia Nair! It’s been so long since anything’s come out from this eclectic Swedish talent. This track is such a progression from her previous tracks – more mellow and soulful.
Watch: Hurricane Love ‘Nowhere To Go’
Listen: Jennie Abrahamson ‘The War’
I’d describe this single from Jennie Abrahamson as tribal, sinister but fun. She’s currently on tour supporting Peter Gabriel on his world tour.
New Music: Nicky
Listen: Frida Sundemo ‘The Sun’
A power ballad from Frida Sundemo that might make you a little emotional…
Listen: Waitress ‘Beneath Our Feet’
Danish/ Swedish indie trio Waitress have a new single and it’s pretty cute.
Listen: Tove Styrke ‘Brag’
Tove’s new EP is out now.
Listen: Picard Brothers ft Erik Hassle ‘Goodbye & Good Luck’
Everything Erik Hassle touches turns to gold it seems. One sexy piece of music from Picard Brothers…
