Great retro sounds have been popping up everywhere the recent years. I love how the sound is a mix of old and a spin of new. I always carry retro tunes with me when I dj or whenever I am entertaining people.
The newest album of retro tunes to be recommended is The Black Keys: Brothers, Gin Wigmore: Holy smoke, and Sharon Jones & The Dap kings: I learned the hard way. This week starting today I will be presenting a retro song each day through blips on twitter. Tune in right here on my twitter page and follow the link to enjoy a new retro song every day.
The Black Keys: Tighten Up.
Gin Wigmore: I do
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings: Without a heart

Great dancetunes for this summer
I have been doing a little pop-digging, and found some great dancetunes to play this summer.
1. Lady Gaga Vs Ace Of Base & Kalomira - Return Of Alejandro (Robin Skouteris Mix)
This is one of the more succesfull mash-ups I have heard in a while. It contains a mash-up between Lady Gaga, Ace of Base and Kalomira.
2. Madonna: Dance 2Night [Bray's back 85 remix]
This is rather a fun remix project. Experimenting with Madonna's album "Hard Candy", the remix project tried to get a tune back resembling an 80's sound. I think this song in particular did a good job, meshing the two decades.
3. M.I.A: Xxxo
M.I.A. is releasing her new album in July and I can't wait. This is an album to anticipate and look forward to this summer. She is one of the more interesting artists out there, and I love how it always take time and many listens to really get into her music. Her first single from the upcoming album is "Xxxo". It took me a couple of listens to get hooked. By then, I was hooked.
4. Robyn: Fembot
Swedish Robyn is also releasing a new album, "Body talk pt. 1" a little week from now. Fembots have feelings too....
5. Rox: I don't believe
In an entirely different genre than the previously more electronic bits, Rox is bringing retro on the dancefloor, from her upcoming album: Memoirs.

Eurovision song contest
Tonight is Eurovision song contest, and even though I know it is completely faux pas to say this if you are a musiclover, I love to watch it. Throughout the years it is increasingly reflecting political, cultural and georgraphical situations in Europe. i love the cultural and musical diversity, reflecting how many cultures Europe consists of, and I love that every year I can get to watch a show and yell laugh and diss the performances, and mostly complain about the Russian mob countries coming to take over the show. It is a full blown two-three hour laugh of wacked out crazy bad performances, with bad costumes or the lack hereoff (semi nude women) bad choreography.
Here are some of the worst this year:
This song is from Armenia, and I am wondering whether it has a hidden message. I am sure it is not an apricot stone in her hand that needs watering??? I am surprised that Armenia would let a song like this with a blatant message like Madonna's "secret" pass the country lines:
This song is from Georgia, and I got so distracted by the horrific strangeling choreography that completely took over the song. And has nothing to do with the song.
This song is from Slovenia. Is this a joke?
I suspect this song, from Germany will win tonight:
Even though it could be cool if Denmark won:
