20 artists who will make your year in 2017
Here's who will guide you through the next 12 months
19 Svani
Links between Norway and Jamaica are few and far between, but the sets of Norwegian DJ Svani are a bridge between the Scandinavian country and the Caribbean island. Listen to her TRUANTS mix from earlier this year and you'll be dutty wining to Konshens' 'Gal Thing' and 'Champion Boy' by Alkaline. Elsewhere in the mix there's charging club tracks like Mobilegirl's 'GGC' and a selection of Svani's own edits. It's through some of these that Svani's gained love. No surprise judging by the tropical reworking of TLC's 'Creep', the choppy flip of Sean Paul and Beyonce's 'Baby Boy' and a sass-oozing rework of Toni Braxton's 'You're Making Me High'.
She's taken the party to radio in 2016, too, joining Martha on Radar and being welcomed by Classical Trax on NTS, while just last month she joined Benji B for a gig at Doornroosje in Nijmegen. With her promise of new music in 2017, we better get some new dancing shoes for the new year because Svani sure knows how to boss the dance. D Turner
