CHOON OF THE DAY: HOT LIPS - Pacific!
Some cool ultra-melodic vibes all the way from Göteborg, Sweden. I discovered it last year flying from Delhi 2 Singapore on my around the world trip starving 4 some fresh euro-sounds. I still like it quite a lot.

KEEP DA FLAVA OF DA OLDSKOOL: AIN'T NOBODY BETTER - Inner City
I'm not ashamed 2 say Inner City's debut album "PARADISE" firmly stands among my favourite albums of all times. It shaped my taste of music 4 the following two decades... Kevin Saunderson's slick, back then highly innovative and ever so recognisable production plus irresistible vocals of miss Shanna Jackson... Detroit techno or simply in my case the first house music act I have ever come across, still very high in my rankings after all these years... Always wanted Róisín Murphy 2 cover this particular tune.
CHOON OF THE DAY: WONDERFUL LIFE (ANTHONY BAKER REMIX) - Hurts
1980's Nu Romantic revisited for the new decade (= Nu Nu romantic?). A handsome song indeed, Anthony Baker's remix is a winner.
