Stockholm's Adrian Lux has seized his rising fame better then any young producer today. He quickly transitioned from being an underground gem to picking up contracts with Ultra and connecting aligning himself with the likes of SHM, Avicii, and others. Today marks the release of the next giant step in his career, his first, self titled, full length record. He's always had a pop style to his tracks and this release showcases just how well he's got that style down. Every song is short, sweet, and riddled with thrilling synths & beautiful melodies. It's got entrancing vocalists (e.g. Rebecca & [...]
If a tree makes music in the forest and no one is around to hear it, is it still magical? Radiohead fans (this should be all of you): open your minds and believe me when I tell you that these mixes haven't mutilated the originals. Delicate in colour, both songs elicit supplemental emotions that will end up satisfying a craving you never knew existed. Ps. if you've somehow made it this far in life without having fuzzy feelings in your heart for Radiohead, I urge you to pick one of their albums and listen to it [...]
Fresh off the announcement of their upcoming North American tour , Rebecca & Fiona have released the music video for their track "Dance." The track itself is a slow tempo & chilled track with not too much going on in it. On the bright side, the low-keyness of the backing means that their beautiful vocals are really brought to the forefront. The music video is fairly trippy and features male model types wearing creepy old man masks. We're not really sure how to interpret this, but have a look for yourself and enjoy the music!

For some reasons, I always assumed Rebecca & Fiona 's music to be more bubblegum/clubby, what with their collaboratons with the likes of Kaskade and Adrian Lux. With that said, I'm glad I gave their new single a chance, because "Dance" actually falls more on the side of Fever Ray or iamamiwhoami. It's nocturnal electro-pop the way I like - with an insidious bassline, beautiful synthetic strings and a slow-burning atmosphere throughout. The restraint in execution here is quite masterful, 'cause it doesn't have to be raved up all the time. The moodily-lit visuals are a great [...]
An investigation by Dancing Astronaut has revealed that the Swedish government knowingly injects the country's water supply with the chemical "Swedepop." The chemical, which is produced in Sweden's sparsely populated countryside, gives certain Swedes the ability to make music that achieves remarkable success in the United States - the target of this nefarious scheme. The program has been helped by high-profile American artists who willingly collaborate with the Swedes - most recently Kaskade . The "Swedepop" doctrine began in the 1970s, when the Swedish government became disgusted with the music that was [...]

It was worth the wait. Nearly three months after getting a 1-minute preview on Adrian Lux's Soundcloud , his 'Jane Doe' remix has finally been released. Lux is a favorite around these parts. His indie/electronica productions stray far away from the mainstream anthems that clog speakers and websites around the globe. He is a master of indie house and his latest Rebecca & Fiona remix proves it. The retro sound is remarkable and, possibly, an homage to Eric Prydz's ' Circles ' remix. Lux [...]
On this first saturday of the new year, get ready to rock it 2012-style with Kaskade . The California-based DJ/producer/remixer (real name Ryan Raddon) released his latest album Fire & Ice in October to some pretty solid fanfare, debuting at #1 on the Billboard dance/electronic albums. Kaskade's brand new single "Turn it Down" is already getting remixed left and right, spawning some pretty awesome versions in the process. Atlanta's own Le Castle Vania manages to turn it into a banger and take the original to the next level. [...]

As the Funkmaster stated earlier today, finals are only one weekend away for us down here in FL, and I gotta say I'm not gonna let that effect my weekend shenanigans one bit. It's been a while since the last Jam Drop or any posting from me at all I'm sorry for that but hopefully this weekend's [...]
It's no secret that I have a soft spot for a bit of electropop on the dancefloor, and Rebecca & Fiona ( facebook / twitter ) are two pretty princesses of that scene in its home country of Sweden. Dance is introduced with a deep oscillating bassline before the synths join the show and the song is driven by the soft thud of the bass-drum and the duo's beautiful and heavily vocoded voices. It is the soundtrack of when that dancefloor warmth rises through your body as you melt into the night. "Let us [...]
Rebecca and Fiona, I like what you're doing here. As usual, I'm into the whole "We're Swedish and we make no-nonsense, captivating electro-pop jams" vibe that your country seems to live by. I'm a full supporter. After performing a little non-creepy Google image search on you two, and ripping through your latest album on Spotify, I think we have the potential to be best friends. Let me know if you feel the same. Love, Chuck Download: Rebecca & Fiona - Dance Shout out to Hypem. Tweet
This Posner jam is easily about to make it to commercial radio rotation. The Rebecca & Fiona is terrific too. Mike Posner - "Looks Like Sex:" Rebecca & Fiona - "Dance:"
Rebecca & Fiona are hitting the global dance music scene with their single 'Luminary One' . The Swedish-born bloggers, clubbers, DJ's and female hipster icons are readying ship to launch an assault on the world with the help of the growing Neon Records . The original single itself has a very nostalgic tone which is noticeably enhanced by their drawn out echo effected vocals and subtle high pitched synths. ' Luminary One ' is an EP that boasts an abundance of remixes from top producers including Adrian Lux, Nause, Tony Senghore, Denzal Park, [...]
Currently No. 4 on Beatport's Top 10 and No. 1 in Beatport's house section, 'Granulated Soul' shows that less is more, even in the dance music world. While many DJ's hit us with plug ins-galore in their productions, Oliver $ gives us a simple drum beat that does massive damage. And how good are talking vocals? As great as booming singing vocals are from the regulars on the circuit (Max C, Miss Palmer, Rebecca & Fiona, ect,) just a man talking, describing 'where did soul originate' is all it takes to set off a dance floor. [...]
A few weeks ago I posted about Laing , a German 4 piece who I thought could be either the next blue light MTV special or Deutschland's new underground indie-electronic vixens, not sure which. That's kind of how I feel about Rebecca & Fiona , I can't tell if they're gonna be on the cover of the next Seventeen mag or if they're busy taste-making for all the Swedish hipsters (my guess is Seventeen mag). Their new album I Love You Man has everything from banger club anthems to electro pop ballads. Truth is I like [...]
At the beginning of every week oodles of new singles, EPs, albums are released to digital music stores worldwide for fans to enjoy.

Weekly, we'll be throwing up brief overviews of our favorites along with links where to buy them, so you can get the tracks that fit your fancy. Alesso's Raise Your has finally hit the digital shelves of the music world, and I'll be damned if the [...]
Avec l'hiver qui s'annonce, c'est tout naturellement que les suédois se sentent à l'aise. Ainsi on voit, après l'apparition de la nouvelle composition de Urban Cone (en réponse à leur excellent Urban Photograph ), que c'est au tour de Rebecca & Fiona de se mettre en avant avec la sortie, aujourd'hui, de leur nouvel album I Love You Man! Beaucoup plus rythmé, qui vous donnera la pêche pour attaquer le froid. Rebecca & Fiona - If She Was Away [...]
Winter Break is fast approaching, and I've come to realize that I suck at updating. I really have no excuse other than being busy and out of the loop. I've been listening to Drake's Take Care non-stop, Kendrick lamar's Section.80 and still think "The Throne" will take rap album of the year. I hope to get back to more consistent posting soon, but for now, these tracks are all dope.
