So Kelis somehow decided to release the worst song from her latest album "FLESHTONE" as the 3rd single... The video for "SCREAM" however is worth watching even if only for all its stylish shots...
This was Morcheeba's second single from their promising debut album "WHO CAN YOU TRUST?" many years before they started producing really bland and predictable 'elevator-music' records...
It's P.A.R.T.Y. time!!! The absolutely flawless boys from THE ONES team up with Hercules' princess Nomi Ruiz for this hi-energetic piece of camp house...
Disco never sounded so genuine. Escort released three magical singles so far: "Starlight", "Love in Indigo" and "All through the night" but their brand new gem is just pure excellence. What an energy!!! One of the best bands on earth at the minute!!! Get your free download at ever so generous RCRDLBL.
And here's the live version of this unbelievable gem, the best disco in town!!!

This is by far the most obscure pick among those 50 women of my life I reveal to you gradually ;-) Therefore I would truly appreciate any comments from anyone who might remember Attica Blues, who once perhaps was enchanted by their utterly brilliant and unique mixture of trip- and hip-hop or even more interestingly someone who might have any info on Miss Roba's current happenings as I wasn't able to chase her down even using the mighty google search...

Considered almost like a cult song among all La Murphy devotees this exquisite piece of music sadly never got properly recognised outside of the circle of her admirers. The whole "RUBY BLUE" sounded like nothing else. Truly one of a kind sonic experience, I would never expect anything else from the Irish chanteuse...
ARTIST: Kâmuran Akkor TITLE: "İkimiz Bir Fidanız (Barış K Edit)" RELEASE DATE: 2009 COUNTRY: Turkey
Thanks to my dear Music Guru Piotrek Czarnecki I discovered Barış K's "EURASIA" EP under Disco Hammam label which presents 3 delicious disco obscurities made in Turkey. Really really diggin' stuff like this...
From "Asa Breed" - one of the most electrifying and innovative albums of the past few years... Pity the new album doesn't reach anywhere near its predecessor.
Still blown away and kind of speechless after Fever Ray's gig I was privileged to see last sunday. It was definitely one of the most unique live performances I have ever seen. Right up there next to Kraftwerk and Björk. Here's their upcoming single, rendition of Peter Gabriel's less known track "Mystery Street" which is being released soon as an exclusive limited edition 7" here. Without a doubt the most original act out there on the world map of music of now...
Aeroplane - Belgian undergound superstars, are at it again! "Superstar" is their splendid follow-up single to the anthemic "We Can't Fly", which will be released very soon. Delicious bunch of remixes include a Chromeo's rendition too. And for dessert here comes this fabulous video, another visual stunner this unbelievable year for groundbreaking music videos. Phenomenal art direction by HYPERTRAK.
TOP 10 FAVOURITE SONGS: 10- "Is It For Me" 09- "Ghetto Day" 08- "Relax" 07- "Small Cry" 06- "Let Go My Love" 05- "Surprise" 04- "Makin' Happy" 03- "What I Need" 02- "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" 01- "100% Pure Love"
My absolute highlight of the whole Electric Picnic festival and additionally in double portion, two gigs by Robyn were an incredible kick of positive energy. She gives all other POP female artists a run for their money big time. What a fantastic performer she is!
