SHREM'S CLUB BIZARRE INTRODUCING "NEW KID" by Monokino

This must be one of the most original ideas for a music video in the past few months. Pity I didn't come across it earlier, it would have probably made it to the final shortlist of this year's most impressive video clips. Both the artist behind the direction as well as the band are from Amsterdam and judging by their photo albums uploaded on their myspace page they seem to have a bit of a devoted following in... China! Do enjoy:

CHOON OF THE DAY: PINK CLOUD - Sam Sparro

Early 1990's House is so in at the moment. There's a whole lot of examples: Kim Ann Foxman, Azari & III, new Hercules & Love Affair LP and Beth Ditto's solo EP are shaping to go the very same direction... Here's another example, Sam Sparro's surprisingly instrumental brand new single bringing back dancefloor memories circa 1991. Très en Vogue!
