Swedesplease

The Ultimate Swedish Hip Hop Site (plus Swedish Music For Dummies and lots of electronic goodies from the netlabel Swedish Columbia)

I’m kind of taking the day off today from regular posting since my kids are out of school for the day. But I did want to share with you some tidbits I discovered over the weekend.

People look at me incredulously when I say I write a Swedish indie music blog. They can’t understand that Sweden produces enough great music to have a daily blog devoted to it. But I’ve recently been trumped by the great new site My Best Friend Is My Grind. This site has been up for a couple months and is devoted solely to Swedish hip hop and rap. The site is smooth and is easy to use. It looks and acts like it’s been up for years. The guys behind this site are so deep into the hip hop scene and cover it so relentlessly that they really put any other site on the net to shame. I highly recommend this site.

I came across another Swedish site that is much more general and broad in its coverage. But since I’ve been poking around I’m very impressed with her coverage. The site is called Swedish Music For Dummies.

I’ve got a couple tips as well for you today including new music from Penny Century, GoCart System and electronic music from the Swedish Columbia Collective.

–Download the new(ish) Penny Century EP here.
–GoCart Systems Always Been The Same here.
–And a whole bunch of Electronic goodies from Swedish Columbia here.

Here’s one mp3 that from BMK (courtesy of the netlabel Swedish Columbia):
