the swede beat - swedish culture at your fingertips

The Swede Beat Magazine is the number one resource on the very best contemporary pop culture being produced by young Swedish creators. Whether your interest is professional or personal we can help connect you to the exciting new faces of Sweden.


The Swede Beat Magazine is an online magazine where each new issue is emailed to subscribers as a newsletter on the last Thursday of each month. Alongside articles, interviews, music downloads and links, each issue features an image gallery presenting up-and-coming visual artists.

Since March 2009, The Swede Beat has covered popular artists and brands such as Fever Ray, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, Carin Wester, Hajen, Permanent Vacation and more.

Our international team is led by Swedish/ American editor-in-chief, Lydia Kellam (NYC). Our writers and researchers work in the industries they report from, in Sweden and wherever Swedish creatives are thriving, giving The Swede Beat a current and vital edge.

The Swede Beat Magazine is a unique opportunity for Swedish creative professionals, companies, labels, brands, and websites to reach a worldwide audience. Please send us your recommendations, links, mp3s, press releases, and images. The Swede Beat Magazine is open to collaborate on anything promoting Swedish culture to the world!
