20 (N) - "Funky Dame" - Greatest Hits - gritty disco punk from the band aptly described as the one with the most google unfriendly name out there...
19 (N) - "Girl Talk" - Justin Faust - when instrumental tunes get really really catchy
18 (N) - "Conte d'été (Afrofunk Version)" - Exotica - Mademoiselle Clara Cometti gracing this summer gem with the cutest French accent possible, très très chic
17 (N) - "When the Night Falls (Breakbot Remix)" - Chromeo feat. Solange Knowles - Beyoncé's cool sister teams up with 1980's reinventing Canadians for their final single from last year's "Business Casual"... House maestro Breakbot sprinkles some French Touch all over it with this funky remix
When The Night Falls (Breakbot Remix) by Chromeo

15 (N) - "Foreign Language" - Flight Facilities feat. Jess - it's all about summer vibes at this time of the year right?

09 (N) - "Ritual Union" - Little Dragon - Miss Yukimi Nagano and co are back with album number 3 and this wondrous song
08 (RE) - "White Elephant" - Ladytron - the video is out and so this magnificent piece of synth pop makes a return to my top 10
07 (N) - "Desire" - Eli Escobar feat. Nomi Ruiz - the year of Nomi Ruiz continues with this oldskool flavoured tune, can't wait to hear what did she prepare with Beni too for his upcoming debut album
06 (10) - "Cherry Picking" - Toddla T feat. Róisín Murphy 05 (N) - "No Limit" - Nathan G & Blackfrog feat. Byron Stingily - this single was out last year but I only discovered it this month, one big juicy bite of quality house music

Young Galaxy - Blown Minded by Henry Coachella
03 (N) - "Psy-Chic" - SSION - Cody Critcheloe one of the most flamboyant artists out there, Madonna fanatic mashing up electro, disco, punk and making it sound like the most berserk hybrid of pop you ever listened to, I'm a huge fan
02 (1) - "Over" - Gus Gus - two months in a row at the top spot, my favourite Icelanders had to pass the crown to my favourite Canadians this month... The video was just released and it's a beauty! 01 (3) - "Manic" - Azari & III - it's the most hypnotic, the most haunting and the sexiest dance record of the year so far... And don't even get me started on the video - fantabulousness!
