It seems that lately a lot of hipster radio stations have discovered the "00s". Boring... Been there, done that!
3 years ago, I felt the urge to create the mother of all lists and although it took me months to make it, it was all worth it.

My Xmas Compilation Has Arrived

Mark K | 2012-12-22 | 11:46 | News | 2361 views

As you might know, I have a somewhat strange relation with the Xmas holidays. I love the over-the-top happiness and true/false sentiments. That's why, every year I build a cheesy Christmas Village and promise to make a special Christmas compilation.

Top 177 of 2012

Mark K | 2012-12-30 | 19:10 | Charts | 10267 views

It's the end of 2012 and hi-di-ho we're still here. We were warned for disasters and what did we got? Dubstep, Psy and an even bigger range of faceless Voice of..., Idols and X Factor performers. No, 2012 was not the best year in music, but we did manage to make a pretty decent Top 177 of 2012!

Mark K | 2013-10-14 | 21:25 | Charts | 1708 views

During this past weekend the weather was so bad, I was forced to listen to a huge pile of new music. The horror :)
I was pleasantly surprised to hear so many great new tunes, that it was impossible not to make a new Top 37 Chart and share my love with you.
Check all 37 songs on Youtube, or even better, tune in to Raar FM. Those guys are playing all these hits (and lots more) 24/7. Hope you dig them brand new hitzzz and don't forget to send me your tips.

Top 37 Chart 21-10-2013

Mark K | 2013-10-21 | 21:17 | Charts | 1850 views

I truly enjoyed making last weeks chart, so why not continue this week? Again, I was pleasantly surprised with fresh Kraak & Smaak, Roisin Murphy and Jamie Lidell singles and new albums of bands like Electric Six (Mustang) and The Fratellis (We Need Medicine). The latter was almost unanimously buried by the critics, but f*ck 'm, we love it. This past weekend I went raving at a party at the Amsterdam Dance Event, hence the entry of Josh Wink - Balls. You gotta love some old skool techno-acid-rave loop-di-loops. Or maybe not. Whatever you do, don't forget to check in at Raar Fm, the only place where you will here all these carefully selected tunes.

Autumn Series Part 5 and 6

Mark K | 2013-10-21 | 22:29 | News | 2423 views

Autumn has always been special to me. The days of hot summer days are over so I can finally wear some decent clothes. Most of all, Mother Nature brings us the most powerful colours of the year. That is one of the reasons I have learned to ignore all the complaining folks around me who tend to drown themselves in a puddle of self-pity because of lower temperatures, a little bit of rain and wind and longer nights. Big deal. Truth is, that the best music is usually written during and about those wet and darker autumn days. It gives me a big pleasure to bring to your attention my 2 new Autumn Collection Part 5 and 6. Keep smiling, Xmas is just around the corner.

Top 37 Chart 21-10-2013

Mark K | 2013-10-28 | 20:08 | Charts | 1715 views

More and more amazingly cool tunes have been thrown on my desk last week and it feels that we are back on track, so here's a new chart for free! Reflektor is one of the best tracks I have heard this year and what about that Bruce Springsteen cover of "Drive All Night" by Glen Hansard and Eddie Vedder? More new stuff by Robbie Williams, Hellogoodbye, Rae & Christian (check out their album Mercury Rising, strong!) and Kraak & Smaak (new album Chrome Waves will be released next week!)
2013 is far from over and it will be quite tough to make a Top 177 of this year. I made need some help from you folks, so drop me a mail.

Top 37 Chart 11-11-2013

Mark K | 2013-11-11 | 22:11 | Charts | 1797 views

David Bowie made a huge come-back earlier this year and makes an even bigger come-back to our chart with a hot entry on number 1. 14 new tracks were selected to join this weeks chart. Many folks consider "Afterlife" the best track on Arcade Fire's new album. Danish pop group return to the chart with "Fuck", a modern day, less subtle version, of their classic "White Horse". Furthermore we bring you new tunes of Pet Shop Boys, Tim Knol, Chromeo, (Mad Mens) Jessica Pare. Damn, the list goes on and on. Better check Raar FM, you will hear these tunes 24/7.

Top 37 Chart 19-11-2013

Mark K | 2013-11-19 | 22:24 | Charts | 1754 views

Another week has passed and we're still up and running with our weekly chart. This week, we were pleasantly surprised by Lily Allen's version of "Somewhere Only We Know" and her comeback single "Hard Out There". We also loved the new Jake Bugg and Hooverphonic albums. Both have entered the chart as well. However we were blown away by the London Grammar "Nightcall" EP. Top notch song with a huge Freemasons remix. Can't get better than this! Listen to Raar FM and you'll be up to date in no time.

Xmas Compilation 2015

Mark K | 2015-12-22 | 20:39 | Columns | 2675 views

Almost everyone has their own Xmas tradition(s). The Danish run around the tree on the 24th, yanks eat turkey and pumpkin pie till they throw up, the dutch are buying December scratch cards until their fingers start bleeding and me? Well...
The requests come in around the same time every year. "Mark, will you be making a new Xmas compilation this year?"
Little do they know that I have just about finished the damn thing.
I usually start compiling in August...

Top 177 2015

Mark K | 2015-12-29 | 13:37 | Charts | 2642 views

Somehow it was more difficult to come up with a Top 177 than usual.
What could be the reason?
Am I losing touch?
I don't think so, although I had to dig deep in the 2015 archives.
In the end, I am happy with the final list.

Top 177 2016

Mark K | 2016-12-30 | 12:38 | Charts | 2342 views

What a sad year... We lost so many heroes. Musicians, producers, Gods, kings and princes who have always been a big part in a my life. They planted the seeds in my brain. The seeds that eventually created the passion for music I have had for over 30 years. It's been tough, but that's life...
Let's sober up and celebrate the best music 2016 brought us. Let's have a look at the Top 177 of 2016
