SHREM'S LATE MONDAY NIGHT SESSIONS... VIOLENT LOVE (THE TWELVES REMIX) - Munk feat. Clara Cometti

João Miguel & Luciano Oliveira a.k.a. The Twelves - Brazil's number one dj collective graced yet another gem with their unique remixing skills to yet another ultra-funky effect.

SHREM'S BIGGIES BUT GOODIES BASKET: DANCEHALL QUEEN - Robyn feat. Diplo

Love the way Robyn releases the videos even to non-single tracks... Here's a great example of a brilliantly retro video clip freshly released for her bouncy collaboration with Diplo "Dancehall Queen". All to boost up the promotion of her sensational "Body Talk" album which has a very safe spot on the very top of my best-albums-of-2010 list.

CHOON OF THE DAY: TEENAGERS - Japayork

There's finally the video for Japayork's brand new super-catchy single "Teenagers". The incomparable guys @ RCRDLBL offer a free download of Unicorn Kid's remix of it which in my humble opinion is even better than the original version.
