As you maybe know, we Swedes celebrate Midsummer this weekend. It's one of our classic festivals that is the second most celebrated holiday except Christmas. The biggest celebration party was yesterday, that means that most Swedes today are pretty tired and pretty hungover. Sweden as a country is not that fast today, so if any other country would like to invade us, I think this day could be the one to choose.
The tradition is clear and simple, it occurs round the summer solstice and we drink "Brännvin" (a kind of akvavit or flavoured vodka), eat "inlagd sill" (pickled herring) and of course dance around the "Midsommarstång" (maypole) singing old classic songs that goes a bit like this:
Nothing strange with this I would say. I must also add that the party that I was at, was a lot more intense than this clip.
Due to intenseness from yesterday I just wanted to gather some new and kind of new music that we like right now. A kind of Midsummer roundup from tired Tracasseur. Happy Midsummer!

Le patron est devenu fou!
Patrick Alavi, one of the grandmasters of French touch house (despite being from Cologne, Germany), and owner of RoXour is giving away music for free - and quite a lot of it too!

My favourite of the batch is "Back Again", and if you don't think you have room for the 60 MB Wave file on your drive, here's an mp3 of it:

Alavi has also recently been remixed by Leeds producer Miguel Campbell, another non-French French house producer. Great stuff.
