The final of Svensktoppen Nästa was held earlier today in Göteborg. Michael Fannon was declared as the winner, but it was decided that Smajling Swedes will get a place among the 28 participants of Melodifestivalen 2016.

Smajling Swedes is a trio made of Arvid Ångtröm, Dennis Babic and Oscar Juhola. The three are working as DJs and music producers, so it’s not a surprise that their music is inspired by electronic feelings.

You can listen to Goosebumps, their winning song from Svensktoppen Nästa below. The song was released earlier this year and the trio hope that many people will like it. However, they will compete with a different song in one of the semifinals of Melodifestivalen 2016.
