RETRO: Ann-Margret sings "Bye Bye Birdie"

Mad Men brought me to this Ann-Margret take from 1963 musical comedy film Bye Bye Birdie.

Yes, she sings terrible... but, Isn't she lovely?

THIS IS: Amason

The Amason was a Volvo model was a popular car in Scandinavia in the 1960s. Named after the fierce female warriors of Greek mythology, Volvo adopted a Swedish spelling for its design, and the band has followed suit.

Perhaps the spirit of a female warrior coupled with the liberatingly swinging ‘60s is a suitable description of this five-piece band of Swedish-born and based touring musicians. Or perhaps their name, chosen spontaneously by Pontus Winnberg of Miike Snow, is just one aspect of this multi-talented, musically minded group of friends that first came together in 2012.



After self-titled EP released in 2003 and followed by the single "Ålen" in 2004, they released debut album Sky City for worldwide in early 2015.

Here are a few songs from Sky City (Fairfax Recordings/INGRID, 2015).

LISTEN: Feder – Goodbye (Feat. Lyse)

Maybe what we're calling deep house these days is not as deep as how it sounds in the 80s, like this Mixmag article says, but this shit is really good and even with pop influences of EDM, it sounds pretty deep as well.

Feder is a French DJ and producer named Hadrien Federiconi originating from Nice (south of France). Before moving to Paris and quickly immersing himself in the deep-house scene, combining his own take on pop with what he heard around him, he release a remix of world renowned musician Rodriguez’s track "Sixto" (stream below), in 2014 with a great succes.

Diving straight into summer, Feder released his own track "Goodbye". Spreading across Europe, hitting #1 in France, Swiden, Russia or Turkey and remaining on heavy radio rotation throughout the summer in across the continent. A good example of the today deep house scene.

Judge for yourself.

CURIOSITY: Spotify New-Release Sorting Hat

A total of 8.136 albums and singles were uploaded to Spotify yesterday.

In fact, every Friday a similar amount of new shit is released on the app!

Crazy, ah?

That's why "curation" is important.

Well, so there is a web where you can find all that noise even sorted by genre: everynoise.com/spotify_new_releases (Weekly update)

THIS IS: PC Music

"WTF is PC Music?" is the question that everyone is asking since it showed up on Soundcloud last year (2014).

PC Music is more than just a record label created by a London producer and young visionary A. G. Cook. PC Music is a loose collective of artists, producers and singers such as SOPHIE, Danny L Harle, Hannah Diamond, GOTY, Kane West, easyFun, the very same A. G. Cook and more who are dropping a kinda imaginary futuristic bubblegum UK-rave nostalgic and videogame-based satire pop music. Huh?

It's hard to define how it sounds because PC Music is a genre in itself. The best way to describe its sound is putting your ears on their Soundcloud and explore for yourself. Truly crazy funny shit made to have fun.

Check out some of the best tracks and remixes of PC Music so far, below.


QT (SOPHIE and A. G. Cook) – Hey QT




Danny L Harle – In My Dreams




Hannah Diamond – Every Night




A. G. Cook – Beautiful

As lead singer and co-funder Luke Top says, "The release of Flying Lessons is a huge deal for us. It encompasses everything we've been about for the last 7 years, both musically and emotionally. It is the culmination of countless hours of travel, gigs, success, failure, darkness, joy, and the stubborn insistence to move forward and create our best work to date".
