We seem to be infiltrated with Swedish music as of late – just as SHM's reign is coming to an end, Prydz has moved to the US to fill the Swedish void.

Not to mention, the countless number of influential producers from Avicii and Dada Life to Dahlback and Alesso, etc. In fact, Sweden is the third largest exporter of music in the world behind the US and UK. It’s perplexing how such a tiny country – [...]

Avicii and Nicky Romero’s long-standing hit “I Could Be The One” gets the remix treatment from a trio of emerging talents known as Bent Collective. Italy's Danny Verde, Beglium's Steven Redant, and Israel's Guy Scheiman make up the group, and together have remixed the heavily-rotated track into a techy, upbeat rework. Without altering the original vocal or structural elements of the track, the group presents a remix with infectious groove and bouncy chord progression. The Avicii camp has given this one their golden stamp of approval, so expect it to get plenty of play time from Mr. Bergling himself. [...]

Only 30 more weeks till any semblance of football. To fill that void, my attention will be directed to my Denver Nuggets and the NBA. The All-Star Break is around the corner and the Nuggets are heating up with an eight game win streak all behind fundamentals: defense, fast break points and points in the paint. Their deep bench will prove that they're more than a one and done team in the playoffs. The trade behind Nene to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Javale Mcgee is yielding large dividends. The mastermind trade behind general manager Masai [...]
