CHOON OF THE DAY: NOT IN LOVE - Crystal Castles Feat. Robert Smith





Who would have predicted this collaboration to happen? Robert-The Cure-Smith and ultimately cool Crystal Castles. One of those rare occasions when a joint effort by two very distinctive and very different acts team up to do something worth the actual hassle.

SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS PRESENTS... DAY OF MINE (LUDICROUS IDIOTS) - Tok Tok vs Soffy O.





The unforgettable German music station VIVA ZWEI used to be quite obsessed with this one. A slice of exquisite pop in an irresistible electro sauce... Sooo 2002... From a very promising debut album that was sadly never followed by any other material from Tok Tok and Soffy O aus Deutschland.

SHREM'S LATE MONDAY NIGHT SESSIONS... ACE OF HZ - Ladytron





No one on this planet sounds quite like Ladytron. No one writes these kind of haunting melodies like Ladytron. Top form all through the years, truly excited about this new track...



CHOON OF THE DAY: YOU'LL SEE IT - Washed Out





Washed out sounds from the glo-fi planet. Multi-layered, wondrously complex and fresh. When music gets liquid.

SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: WE RADIATE - Goldfrapp







Goldfrapp tend to treat their followers with real quality b-sides, bonus tracks and out-takes. "Beautiful", "Little Death" or their electrifying rendition of Baccara's anthem "Yes Sir" actually stand out among their most accomplished works to date. Here's another, brand new example a song called "We Radiate" that didn't quite make it onto their latest LP "Head First".

SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS: NEED IN ME - Gus Gus
