This is a benchmark. Swedish electronica vs. Germany vs. Norway vs. Denmark. You do the (re)search. I normally avoid Swedish music, just because so little of it is in my taste. These songs I like a lot though. Panda da panda is quite a surprise, and I suspect a lot better when you understand Swedish. La fleur sounds a lot like my favourite Âme - is this the Berlin influence? Axel Boman vs Books shade - surprisingly even.

I also have to mention - the Hot natured album "Different sides of the sun" is pretty fantastic! Had I known earlier, it would have made my best of 2013 list. Easy.

I like the idea of crowdsourcing the video and all the amateur dancers - people actually are happy, for real.
