Smoothly getting into the good mood for Groove & Soul music, Let us enjoy the following these 5 artists from Sweden, Denmark and Norway. 1) Summertime, and the living is easy with Dagmawit Alemayehu, aka Daggi…

I’ve begun to spend a lot of time on soundcloud, and there is so much great, indie music!  It’s endless!  I found so many happy surprises last month, and I thought I would put them in playlists.  This is a collection of the grooviest tracks I found digging in the crates of soundcloud.  And I think all of these exceptional indie artists deserve some love and encouragement, so please check out their links :)

Nosizwe - Push

An amazing surprise and first on the list.  I just checked out her Facebook and she’s dropping an album THIS October.  I really enjoyed “Push” on soundcloud and I’m looking forward to hearing a full album from this Norwegian artist :)

Follow her on soundcloud, Facebook, Twitter(@Nosizwemusic), or check out her website(http://www.nosizwe.no)  to find more information.

CLOUD. - IDONTSEEM2KNOWMYSELF

Cachao - Trombón Criollo (Cacao´s Rework)

I loved Cacao’s choice of sample.  You don’t hear a Latin Jazz sample used everyday for hiphop.  And of course, it grooves so hard :)

CATANA/EASYKID - VUELTAS (PROD. KPBTS)

I’ve only met one other MC who sounds like they’re singing when they rhyme, but Catana’s flow is so smooth.  I only wish I could speak better Spanish for this one. Really smooth production from KPBTS. as well.  These two are great compliments for eachother. Glad I stumbled on this one. 

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find any info about EASYKID.  He was awesome on this track as well. If anyone has links for him, please send them to me and I will include them.

Charlotte Dos Santos - Watching You

This vocal made me stop.  I love how smooth her lead is and how textured her background vocals are.  With the vocals alone, so much richness is represented.

Ivan Ave - Machines (Prod. Mndsgn) (Taken from Mutual Intentions - #2)

The vibe here is undeniable.  Love the MC and the producer.  I know I must have been asleep, because I just found out about Mndsgn, but this pairing is really quite special.
