Dante - Won’t Go Another day, another great musician from Sweden. This time Dante’s covering our girl Adele in a pseudo-cover that I’m really digging. It’s a few months old, but it’s a good intro into the world of Dante, who’s channeling Erykah Badu and Peter Gabriel and other such crooners. // http://soundcloud.com/dantekin nunen/dante-wont-go
Dante's "Next To You" starts off with the same kind of dramatic backdrop that you'd find in the most soul-wrenching of Phil Collins tunes, but the similarity dies there. As for the rest of what makes up "Next To You," imagine a splash of Akon and a few shakes of (as Arjun points out) Mr. Hudson. If it sounds cheesy, then you'll probably find it cheesy, but you may also find it hard not to start swaying along with as you raise your lighter in the air before realizing that you shouldn't be doing that while you're at [...]
Dante, whoa. Keep doing you. Spacey, atmospheric beats coupled with booming vocals is always good in my book, and this is no different. Not to mention the hook is as addictive as they come. All things considered, I'm gonna give you one guess as to where he's from. Correct answer: Sweden. Along with every other musical act I'm into at the moment. Shout out to Arjun from SITR - I wish I had your music taste when I was in high school mang. Tweet
Dante Kinnunen , or better known by his stage name Dante , has unearthed my wandering soul. Based in Stockholm, current drummer of the Swedish indie band, The Concretes , (and my new beloved artist of the month), recently kicked off his solo career this past year with release of his debut EP, “ Next To You .” Inspired heavily by Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, and a wide range of reggae music, Dante flawlessly charms the globe with his beautiful voice and enticing melodies, [...]
Super smooth track from Swedish-based Dante.

This beautiful blast of synths and layered vocals comes from Sweden’s Dante Kinnunen. The opening is nice and all, but its main function seems to be to drive you crazy until the drop - which comes at exactly the right moment. This is the perfect way to start out your week, no matter what. Check out “Next To You” on Soundcloud .
New music. Bloody great, isn't it? I'd nearly forgotten after eight months of studying for a Master's degree. But a few hours free this afternoon and a few minutes of listening to the debut EP from Dante Elephante and I'm happy as larry. And part inspired by my meeting with Matthew of Song, By Toad at Great Escape last weekend (never have I been called a c**t in such a loving way), I've decided to WRITE A BLOODY BLOG POST. Dante Elephante are from California and, unless you're one of those people who can [...]
Here's some breezy surf-pop from Santa Barbara four-piece Dante Elephante . They got that retro pop sound reminiscent of Surfer Blood and Real Estate which some Evangelicals style vocals. "Heartbeat" is taken off of their new EP available over at Bandcamp . Heartbeat by Dante Elephante
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =nYUrC2E6t7g Last year Baseline Music was invited by the University College of Arts, crafts and design in Sweden to accompany some of Swedens leading designers and architects to China to represent the variety of art in Sweden. Dante performed live and the trip was captured on film by OlleKirchmeier and resolved into a music video [...]
I wish I had a bathtub stopper so I could lay stretched out and let my mind choose between dreaming, or exploring ceiling details while dreaming. Some impassioned vitamins can enhance any mystic mind journey, adding a certain vulnerability. As they weaken your body they strengthen your escape and let you drift into wonder. I’ve played this too many times and somehow it continues to stimulate. This song is better than medicine in its healing. Metric – Blindness (Amtrac Remix) [...]
Apparently I haven't been keeping up with the Scandanavian pop scene enough recently. Man did I whiff on this guy Dante . Dante Kinnunen, once the drummer of the The Concretes , is now showing that his strength is as a frontman doing production and vocals. "Won't Go," which is derived from Adele's "He Won't Know," is an incredibly smooth R&B and soul-influenced jam that has jumped to the top of my rotation. But you won't find the track on his recent Runners , since a certain 8-time Grammy Award winner's record label says otherwise. So for now, enjoy this visual [...]

There's a new Dante song up at SoundCloud with an uncleared sample that prevents it from being a proper commercial release: http://soundcloud.com/dantekin nunen/dante-wont-go
