After scoring a string of massive hits across Europe as Whigfield in the 90s, Danish pop star Sannie Carlson is back in the spotlight but under her real name this time. Her first single as Sannie is a brilliant electro tune called “How Long”, released on dance label Armada.
Calling on superb chords, mesmerizing string play and a lovely vocal to hit the spot, Sannie brings things back to the dance florr with this new single, which also features remixes from the likes of Alex Neri & GG Canu, ATFC, and Grant Nelson in addition to the original mix.
With their subtle mix of alternative psychedelic lo-fi and dreamy chillwave, Danish duo Slowes create evocative pop soundscapes with an electronic twist. Jack Kilburn (vocals) and Anders Hamann (drums) formed Slowes in 2015, under the name More, and have since released two singles: “I Need You” and “Sweet”.
With a string of live performances scheduled over the summer, as well as a couple more singles expected before the end of the year, the boys are keeping busy ahead of the release of their highly anticipated debut EP in early 2017.
Danish trio WhoMadeWho have curated the new edition of Get Physical’s Body Language compilation. The 17th instalment in the series comes after WhoMadeWho made their debut on the German label with single “Ember” last year. Their contribution to Body Language is the brand new exclusive track “Hi & Low”.
WhoMadeWho have been shuffling genres ranging from electro to funk to dance music since 2005, first for Gomma, then Kompakt, before signing to Get Physical (drummer and producer Tomas Barfod also has an extensive solo discography, including singles “Busy Baby” and “Happy”). “Hi & Low” comes with remixes from M.A.N.D.Y, Emanuel Satie, Konstantin Sibold and Mineo.
From their Copenhagen base, sultry pop trio Chinah are slowly building a strong fan base with their impeccably produced pop gems that effortlessly combine subtle electronic beats, smooth vocals and mesmerising melodies. With their new single “Colder” singer Fine Glindvad, guitarist Simon Kjær and keyboardist Simon Andersson connect the dots between synth pop and minimalist R&B.
Their debut EP Once The Lights Are On, which was released on March 11th, features previous singles “Away From Me” and “Minds” as well as a few new tunes. Oscillating between melancholic lyrics, bright melodies, warm vocals and icy synth lines, Chinah create music that is original and unique but easily relatable and instantly catchy. The band explains: “Catchiness is no longer a bad word for us, we want to challenge people within the boundaries of pop.”

Copenhagen-based DJ/producer Tomas Barfod has shared another taste of his recently released Glory EP. On “Fill Me,” he joins forces with Danish songstress Fine for a gorgeous, moody piece of electronica that focuses on atmosphere rather than pure beats.
Featuring guest appearances by Kill J and Nina K (already featured on last year’s singles “Pulsing” and “Busy Baby”), the Glory EP marks Barfod’s return to forward-looking L.A. label Friends of Friends and it is available worldwide since November 13th.
