Bergman Copycat - Sometimes

Very excited to present my latest project, a co-lab with the immensely talented Bergman, former lead singer of Swedish pop sensation Scents. Back in the days, those guys were predicted to be bigger than the mighty Cardigans.

These days, Bergman lives and works in London, and focuses on some lovely singer/songwriting on his own. I managed to persuade him to step into the world of epic electro disco for a while. Here's the result. An original and a joint venture - a bit of laidback epic electro disco for those warm and lovely summer nights.

This track is currently only available as an exclusive download /stream over at AudioPorn Central, where it also premieres. There's also a special... erm... Trance Folk version of it over there - the mighty "Sunset Version". Let me know what you think.

More splendid Bergman tunes over here!

While we're at it - why not pop over to my Facebook page and do that thing.

Video: Does your homosapien know? (ABBA vs Pete Shelley)

Great little vid for my ABBA vs Pete Shelley boot - "Does your homosapien know?"

ABBA - Does your mother know?
Pete Shelley - Homosapien

Thanks T Papke for the vid!

Copycat's Top 10 June @ AudioPorn Central

Oh, man... this month's been insane music wise. So much goodness. So much disco. So little time... And I believe we got a new record as regards mashups. In fact, I had to give them a top 10 of their own. Cannot remember when we heard that many good ones in the same period of time. Plus, if you check the comments, I've added a serious number of bonus beats for your pleasure - all of which were not too far from the list.

As usual, the full, official and aggregate APC Top 10 is found over here.

Meanwhile, there's plenty here below to keep you busy for a while. Happy summer, folks.
