INTRODUCTION FROM<br />
THE EDITOR<br />
Hei, Hej, Moi, Hæ, Hello!<br />
It feels like mere minutes ago that the first<br />
edition of the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> magazine was<br />
released, but here we are with a second<br />
edition, wrapping up the phenomenal year<br />
that we’ve had!<br />
2016 has been a hugely exciting year for<br />
the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong>, which continues to be<br />
the ultimate online outlet through which<br />
to explore the vast and unique musical landscape<br />
of the <strong>Nordic</strong>s.<br />
<strong>Nordic</strong> artists are topping charts and breaking<br />
records all over the world right now, as<br />
the region’s songwriters become more and<br />
more prominent in the global pop scene. To<br />
mirror this fantastic time for <strong>Nordic</strong> music,<br />
we’ve redesigned and expanded the <strong>Nordic</strong><br />
<strong>Playlist</strong> website to be able to share more of<br />
the finest music from the north than ever<br />
before!<br />
More than 100 artists have curated their<br />
very own editions of the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong>,<br />
including Swedish pop sensation Zara<br />
Larsson, international chart smasher MØ,<br />
award-winning Icelandic composer Jóhann<br />
Jóhannsson and many more.<br />
Over a quarter of a million users have explored<br />
the ever-growing archive of playlists,<br />
mixtapes, features and news pieces found<br />
on the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> website, and another<br />
quarter of a million of have tuned in to the<br />
sessions, interviews and pop quizzes that<br />
can be found on the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> YouTube<br />
Channel! Ensuring that the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong>’s<br />
content is as widely available to hear as<br />
possible, we also added Apple Music to our<br />
streaming options in 2016, meaning that<br />
each of our playlists can now be heard and<br />
enjoyed around the world on Spotify, Apple<br />
Music, Tidal and Deezer.<br />
The past year has also been one in which<br />
the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> Caravan has travelled<br />
further than ever before, becoming a voyaging<br />
venue in which live sessions, interviews<br />
and all sorts of dance parties have taken<br />
place! We kicked off the year by heading to<br />
Where’s The Music? Festival in Nörrkoping,<br />
before moving to by:Larm Festival in<br />
Oslo, SPOT Festival in Aarhus and Roskilde<br />
Festival, rounding off the year at Iceland<br />
Airwaves and making a debut appearance<br />
at SLUSH in Helsinki.<br />
To find out more about all of the <strong>Nordic</strong><br />
<strong>Playlist</strong>’s past (and future) adventures, we<br />
invite you to delve in to the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong><br />
magazine! Read on to find out more about<br />
our curators, playlists, sessions, features<br />
and live events. And with more exciting<br />
news and events set to take place in 2017,<br />
we highly recommend that you keep tuning<br />
in to the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong>!<br />

CURATORS<br />
www.nordicplaylist.com/curators<br />
MØ [Denmark]<br />
“My fave thing is no doubt to look my fans in the eyes. To share that<br />
moment and the music with them. To be in that room with them and<br />
feel connected to these strangers who somehow aren’t strangers.<br />
It’s amazing.”<br />
Miriam Bryant [Sweden]<br />
“Up and coming Swedish artists… I think that we are all up and<br />
coming the whole time. I think you just try to elbow yourself through<br />
… because there is so much new, so much good stuff there.”<br />
Sin Fang [Iceland]<br />
“I’ve always used lots of samples and synths and stuff in my music<br />
but it has never really been the backbone of any tracks I’ve made.<br />
Turns out making electronic music is harder than I thought, kind of<br />
like learning a new language. I feel like I’ve become a much better<br />
producer and arranger after getting so deep into the mixing and<br />
soundscaping part of my music.”<br />

QUOTES<br />
Ingrid Helene Håvik – Highasakite [Norway]<br />
“My favourite part of the [music making] process is sitting alone and<br />
writing the songs and lyrics. When I’m in that mood and just take in<br />
everything of the world and try to create my own space.”<br />
LCMDF [Finland]<br />
“When we started writing new material we wanted the songs to<br />
be suited for listening to in the company of your friends. They’re<br />
supposed to be played at parties, something to dance to together.<br />
We’ve got a lot of comments from fans about how empowering our<br />
music has been to them, and that’s something ‘bout LCMDF that will<br />
never change.”<br />
Zara Larsson [Sweden]<br />
“In 20 years I would like to do a sold out stadium world tour, have a<br />
couple of multi-platinum album, a couple of Grammys. Ya know...”<br />

NORDIC PLAYLIST<br />
CARAVAN<br />
Where’s The Music?, by:Larm and SPOT Festival<br />
2016 saw the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> caravan head out on the road, making its way to a number<br />
of festivals throughout the <strong>Nordic</strong>s including Where’s The Music? In Nörrkoping, by:Larm<br />
Festival in Oslo and SPOT Festival in Aarhus!<br />
Each occasion saw the Caravan provide a cosy and enticing setting in which music lovers<br />
could come to meet the team behind the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong>, while listening to specially curated<br />
playlists, and entering exclusive competitions. The Caravan also became a distinctive hub,<br />
where the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> invited artists to perform intimate live sessions of their tracks<br />
and to take part in exclusive interviews, all of which are available to watch on the <strong>Nordic</strong><br />
<strong>Playlist</strong> YouTube channel!<br />

NORDIC PLAYLIST<br />
at Roskilde Festival 2016<br />
The <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> caravan celebrated its first birthday at Roskilde Festival 2016, as we<br />
partnered up with the iconic Danish event for the second year in a row!<br />
After debuting the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> caravan at Roskilde in 2015, we were thrilled to re-join<br />
the festival once again, so over the course of the festival week, the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> invited<br />
artists set to play on the festival’s main stages to come by the caravan, and to perform<br />
stripped down, exclusive sessions of their songs.<br />
While we were there, we caught up with Norway’s Aurora and Ivan Ave, Silvana Imam from<br />
Sweden, Shy Shy Shy and Palace Winter from Denmark, Have You Ever Seen The Jane<br />
Fonda Aerobic VHS? From Finland and Iceland’s Reykjavíkurdætur and Júníus Meyvant.<br />
Live sessions, exclusive interviews and special pop quizzes took place as the cameras<br />
rolled, and each of the videos can be viewed at the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> YouTube channel now!<br />

FEATURES<br />
www.nordicplaylist.com/features<br />
A newly introduced Features section was added to the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> website in 2016,<br />
creating a setting for in depth interviews, overviews and presentations of artists, creators<br />
and legends from the <strong>Nordic</strong> region.<br />
Film and music video directors Johan Renck and Jonas Bang, Icelandic visual artist Ragnar<br />
Kjartansson and famed Danish jazz musician Mikkel Hess were among the first faces to<br />
feature in the section, which also reveled in the excitement surrounding a distinctly<br />
Swedish edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as delving into the varied and<br />
flourishing live music scene of the region in a dedicated <strong>Nordic</strong> Festival Guide…<br />
Valgeir Sigurðsson [Iceland]<br />
“As an artist I think that any label that encourages and enables you to<br />
create your best work, and helps in creating opportunities for the work<br />
to be heard, is a good label.<br />
As someone running one I think that a label should be a gallery of<br />
ideas, artists and music that you or me as music lovers should be able<br />
to walk into, so to speak, and be presented with something that speaks<br />
to us but we might not have come across otherwise.”<br />
Johan Renck [Sweden]<br />
“[David Bowie] saw this album as his ‘swan song’, and I think he wanted<br />
this to somehow permeate the video… after getting to know him, I<br />
know that things were never banal with him, and never simple – there<br />
were many layers, in an only positive way. He was a very complex,<br />
amazing, beautiful and actually brilliant person, so I just felt that to<br />
some extent he wanted this to be a part of the whole thing. ”<br />
– Johan Renck, Director of David Bowie’s final ‘Black Star’<br />
and ‘Lazarus’ videos.<br />
Ragnar Kjartansson [Iceland]<br />
“Visual art opens up everything and you can do whatever you want to.<br />
Total freedom. And it’s so much fun to work with that attitude and do<br />
music, it’s total freedom. It just has to be like an artwork, it has to be<br />
interesting, it doesn’t matter what the format is – it just has to have<br />
this tension and layers, so that it’s not just completely useless.”<br />

MAGMA<br />
www.nordicplaylist.com/magma<br />
MAGMA - An introduction to the intriguing<br />
landscape of sounds found in the <strong>Nordic</strong><br />
contemporary Music scene.<br />
Explore the inspirations, influences and<br />
work of some of the <strong>Nordic</strong> region’s most<br />
innovative contemporary creators, composers<br />
and musicians at Magma, where we<br />
invite the scene’s most exciting minds to<br />
share their creations and recommendations.<br />
Alongside profiles and recommendations<br />
from some of the most prominent composers<br />
and musicians in the <strong>Nordic</strong>s – including<br />
Anna Thorvaldsdottír, Sofia Jernberg and<br />
Simon Steen-Andersen – Magma also produced<br />
a pilot series for a reimagined series<br />
of the classic TV quiz show Kontrapunkt.<br />
The participants faced a range of questions<br />
from differently themed categories. The<br />
hosts of the show, Icelandic curator Arnbjörg<br />
Maria Danielsen [ICE] and Norwegian<br />
composer and author Eivind Buene [NOR],<br />
presented questions via audio, video and<br />
text while the eagle eyes and ears of music<br />
critics and editors Andreas Engström [SWE]<br />
and Sanne Krogh Groth [DEN] observed the<br />
quiz from the judges seats.<br />
Magma’s Kontrapunkt Tribute deviated substantially<br />
from the original in tone and by<br />
focusing solely on contemporary music, but<br />
it stayed true to the show’s essence – and<br />
each episode from the pilot series can be<br />
streamed at Magma now!<br />
On November 28th 2015, Magma presented<br />
the Kontrapukt Tribute show, which was<br />
filmed live on location at the <strong>Nordic</strong> Embassies<br />
in Berlin. Teams from Iceland, Norway,<br />
Sweden, Finland and Denmark were present,<br />
as in the original, but we heightened<br />
the level of suspense by inviting our host<br />
country, Germany this time, to take part in<br />
the challenge.<br />

CURATORS<br />
Junius Meyvant [Iceland]<br />
on Casiokids’ ‘Fot i hose’<br />
“If Röyksopp had a baby with a techno song from Bratislava, this<br />
would be the outcome.”<br />
Anne Lainto - YleX Radio [Finland]<br />
“Like in all the <strong>Nordic</strong> countries, it’s quite cold, dark and miserable<br />
here in Finland most of the year. But there’s lots of beauty in it all<br />
and that’s what the Finns usually combine in the music. Finns are<br />
also honest with the music, especially when the lyrics are in Finnish.<br />
It’s very easy to notice if the artist is trying to be someone who<br />
he/she is not.”<br />
Matoma [Norway]<br />
“I’m inspired by so many different things with a collaborator but I<br />
think the big thing for me is just the vibe you get from someone’s<br />
voice, the way it reaches you in your heart when you listen.”<br />
Trentemøller [Denmark]<br />
“Even if it’s cloudy or the sun isn’t out, there’s something about the<br />
Scandinavian light… I don’t know if I can say that it’s inspired me<br />
directly on this or that song, but it’s definitely something that lies<br />
in you all the time, this melancholic vibe, but in a very good way. So<br />
it’s not about me feeling depressed in the dark, it’s about embracing<br />
the special Scandinavian vibe that is in our nature.”<br />
14
QUOTES<br />
Elliphant [Sweden]<br />
“That is the coolest part of doin’ this music thing. That I am out<br />
there touching people – or even better, shakin’ ’em up! Putting my<br />
voice in to the world… It’s a hard thing to get a grip of but sometimes<br />
that’s the most blissed feeling…”<br />
Amason [Sweden]<br />
“We are fortunate to have a very broad music scene in Sweden<br />
where you can move to another genre if you get bored so in that<br />
sense I think it can keep being exciting over time.”<br />
Kevin Cole, KEXP [US]<br />
“I’d personally had a long running fascination with Iceland—both<br />
with the music scene and the allure and mystique of the country<br />
itself. I loved The Sugarcubes when they hit the scene in the ‘80s,<br />
and GusGus and Múm in the ‘90s. Hearing Sigur Rós’ Ágætis byrjun<br />
in 1999 really flipped the switch for me though – I had never heard<br />
anything like that before – so much beauty and emotion in the music,<br />
it floored me and I felt compelled to visit the country where the<br />
music was made.”<br />
Nico & Vinz [Norway]<br />
“We’re still growing and learning so much and a lot comes with<br />
success. We want to thrive to be better versions of ourselves!”<br />

PREVIOUSLY, AT THE<br />
NORDIC PLAYLIST…<br />
Since 2014, the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> has been presenting audiences around the world with the<br />
finest <strong>Nordic</strong> music through a series of hand-made playlists from trusted tastemakers. As<br />
well as creating these playlists, we’ve also hosted live-streamed Radio Bars, pop up shows,<br />
sessions and interviews at events such as Iceland Airwaves Festival, by:Larm and Berlin<br />
Festival!<br />
Whenever we take the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> on the road, we take cameras along for the ride, so<br />
that we can share each of these special, exclusive events with our audience at home too. So,<br />
if you want to see GusGus perform to a crowd of 30 people in a packed out café-bar, or to<br />
witness Beatrice Eli bring Oslo to a stand-still with her arresting live show, then head to the<br />
<strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> where you can find a full archive of all of our footage from these<br />
special events!<br />

NORDIC PLAYLIST AT A<br />
CROSSROADS<br />
It takes time to establish new concepts and develop them in tune with a fast changing technology<br />
and media environment. The original idea behind the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> was to create<br />
a pan-<strong>Nordic</strong> music website in English that would help audiences discover <strong>Nordic</strong> music<br />
within streaming platforms and the digital space.<br />
Almost three years after going live with the experiment we can look back and be proud<br />
of the impact it is making on key taste makers whether they are bookers of festivals such<br />
as Roskilde, senior editors of big playlists or programme directors of successful US radio<br />
stations such as KEXP and KCRW.<br />
The development was possible due to the funding we received from the <strong>Nordic</strong> Council of<br />
Ministers and the Icelandic Chairmanship Programme in 2014. We can be grateful to many<br />
forward thinking politicians and officials for paving the way for our vision of creating a new<br />
<strong>Nordic</strong> music discovery tool. That funding period has now come to an end.<br />
It is time to look for a new structure for the <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> and take it into its second phase<br />
of development. And like any new developments and journeys it will have unknown factors.<br />
What we do know is that the culture of <strong>Nordic</strong> collaboration has been strengthened in<br />
many ways over the last five years. The <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> has been part of putting a focus<br />
on cross-border collaboration in the region. At the same time the appetite for discovering<br />
<strong>Nordic</strong> music, festivals and events has never been bigger than it is now. <strong>Nordic</strong> <strong>Playlist</strong> can<br />
play an important role in channelling that interest into the future.<br />
