Win a 1 hour DJ Slot @ Ja Ja Ja!

We at Ja Ja Ja always bring you the finest Nordic talent, all loved and respected in their homelands and, in some cases, across the world. However, March’s Ja Ja Ja line-up seems to have particularly touched a chord with our discerning UK media. To say the line-up was a little bit ‘buzzy’ would be like saying Ja Ja Ja is a little bit good. UN-DER-STATEMENT.

Let’s start with Team Me. Their by:Larm set had Drowned in Sound glowing “Team Me are fresh and young and vital and I double love their jerky pop. They are MEGA”. While the likes of Glasswerk have been reporting for some time that they are the band to watch this year ”If you believe blogers and journalists all around the world, Team Me are one of the hottest newcomers of 2011.

When Saints Go Machine’s last record ‘Fail Forever’ was released it received the kind of critical acclaim that all real musicians want – the kind of in-depth analysis that comes when artists  make a record with a lot of depth and equal brilliance. The Line of Best Fit hailed it as “very striking and just a little out of the ordinary” while This Is Fake D.I.Y. glowingly describe their complex, genre-literate songs” as “dreamy, narcotic-soaked soundscapes”.

Last, but not least comes Lucy Swann –  “a vocal acrobat with a penchant for quirky electronica, Swann is part Adele, part Fever Ray and 100% worth investigating” – NME. NME loved her so much, she played Club NME at London’s Koko last month.

It’s a big old brilliant mish mash of electronics, pop and intelligent dreamy soundscapes. It’s a showcase of the best new music in the world right now. Move over America, move over Britain, the bands you need to watch are Nordic and at Ja Ja Ja on 31st March!  Don’t miss them.
