We’re really feeling this at the moment. I could be wrong (I was in one of those dizzy festival modes) but I think I heard this for the first time at the amazing Skanka Loss festival in Gangnef this summer. Top nice piano disco from Stockholms Axel Boman.
It’s finaly summer here in Sweden and summer in Sweden means a return to the classics. Like Just Like Music’s edit of Magnus Ugglas “Sommartid” (that’s “Summer time” in Swedish).
Uggla - Sommartid (Just Like Music Retouch) (256)
Amazing edit of the former Abba singer from Copenhagens Belgiums Villa. You can download all of their Mindless Boogie-edits here.
Agnetha Fältskog – Wrap Your Arms Around Me (Villa edit) (320)
Bonus: a nice little popreggae tune from the other female half of Abba.
Things are realy happening at the moment in Malmo if your into that psychic-disco-rock escapism. Sergio Rizzolo over at Discoakademin shared this fantastic Vidderna track recently.
This was a nice suprise for me. Sergio Rizzolo, one of the local disco dudes here in Malmo, posted this edit on his new cosmic/balearic blog Diskoakademin recently.
It just happens to be a great soft rock edit from local combo Vidderna. Behind the name Vidderna is the duo Markus Clemmedson (Climber & Tiger) and Niklas Tjäder.
Check out more of their edits here.

How good is this on scale from 1-10? Dan Lissvik from The Studio takes Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer of The Knife) to the balearic islands. Massive. From Discobelle.
I hope none of you manage to miss “Welcome To Mali” by Amadou & Mariam, one of the best albums of 2008. The acoustic “Anka Miri Gnogon Na”, from their earlier career, is even better. And that guitar intro/loop seems perfect to sample if you ask me.

It seems like this evening could end up in a blast. First: This years first Oh, Baby In Dub at Metro. Then we have both David Rodigan at Inkonst/The Rumble and Wassup Rocker’s Filippa Freijd aka Filip Mode Squad at Backlash/Babel together with Mad Decents Boy 8-Bit among others.
