Managed to catch three cool acts at the Lexington yesterday evening as part of the monthly Ja Ja Ja night. Jaakko Eino Kalevi has a certain ‘Bryan Ferry goes hipster’ vibe around, making some beats that manage to sound edgy and easy to listen to. YAST played their trademark Swedish indie sound, and Nabiha went all out with her unique and infectious blend of RnB and pop.

A few weeks ago I suggested some tracks for American Express to feature on their pages, and they’ve come up with a really quite brilliant playlist of emerging Scandinavian artists.
Best of all, it’s all free to download, and features some of my absolute favourites like Johan Reinhold and Fallulah!

Gracias is a Finnish rapper and this remix of his track ‘Night Shift’ is stunning. Reading this short article by Finnish media site YLE shows that there’s a bit of a rise in Finnish rap. Looking forward to seeing where it leads to!
I feel like the video to this lets down the pop brilliance of this track by Finnish Idol winner Diandra. I mean, she’s having a sleepover while singing about binge drinking over her ex… Check out here.
Sexy, moody Americana style music with that unmistakable Scandinavian beat. The chap’s Finnish. Check out here.
