I like to share music/videos which I enjoy, so now I am going to share with you my everlasting admiration for a Swedish artist called Basshunter. This guy is not only ridiculously beautiful, but he’s also a genuine geek AND his music is so awesome.

At first, there was Boten Anna, a song he made about a bot called Anna over at IRC. I technically grew up on IRC, so it’s only natural for me to appreciate the geekiness of the Basshunter phenomena. Here’s the original video, he sings in Swedish but there are English subtitles:

This song was among my brother’s collection and for the longest time I was in love with it. You can see in the comments section of the video that some people don’t know what a bot is, well, what can I say? n00bs! Basshunter released the song in English under the title Now You’re Gone. I am sure you’re all familiar with it:

Then there is DotA which was another of his early super-hits, it’s about a computer game. Here’s the original video of that one:

And the new video is:

How awesome, no? You can actually see how Basshunter kinda grows in these videos if you compare the old with the new. Not only do the videos improve technically, but he improves as well and he seems to be more into it. I am deeply in love with this guy’s style, and now I want to learn Swedish!* Maybe Rami can help with that.

*OK. I am a nerd but his is really good music.
