Serious dancefloor filler from a post-punk discoteca, one of those inexplainable cases of an absolute true gem of a song that never became huge... Still mystery to me... Ebony Bones! is beyond cool!!! And as if it wasn't energetic enough here's some electro "rapido y furioso" produced by the mighty DIPLO and performed by the brazen Maluca too... What a combo!!!
This is going 2 b my soundtrack 2 this summer. Crème de la Crème of young talents. Collaboration between up and coming djs YUKSEK and BRODINSKI, Ebony Bones! - "THE purest cure for boredom" as described by Lady Miss Kier herself, all in a juicy house remix provided by Paris' finest Dj Mehdi. B-L-I-S-S!
10- SCARS - Basement Jaxx Feat. Kelis, Meleka & Chipmunk - the title track from their latest album, one of their most accomplished productions to date
09- CROSS THE DANCEFLOOR (CHROMEO REMIX) - Treasure Fingers - while waiting to hear some more of those irresistable "future 80's" anthems from the Canadian duo, try this rather danceable number, it's as good as FANCY FOOTWORK I promise!
08- CHANSON D'AMOUR - Catherine Ferroyer-Blanchard - from her cassette (!!!) single out only in France, the only electro single I have fallen in love with last year plus my video of the year award goes to her too, J'adorrrrrre:
07- SPLITTING THE ATOM - Massive Attack - their most intricate and intriguing work since Mezzanine days...
06- MAXIMUS - Beni Feat. Sam Sparro - even better than BLACK & GOLD, a proper piece of dancefloor anthem that never was...
05- FEELINGS HAVE CHANGED - The New Sins - treasure of a song discovered by my friend Jaysin by 1/5th of New Young Pony Club & her side project, delicious & haunting
04- THE MUZIK - Ebony Bones - The M.I.A. of 2009, punk & disco never sounded more appealing 2gether, and while u're @ it try Yuksek Brondinski's phenomenal remix too
03- MOONLIGHT DANCE - Sally Shapiro - the cutest fragment of her sweet guilty pleasures...
02- MOSES - Elizabeth Fraser - the most anticipated come back in my personal books, the owner of England's most angelic of all voices and a masterpiece of a song blending sonic spices from all different directions to an impressive musical collage

01- GET IT RIGHT - Y.A.S. - produced by the scarily talented Monsieur Mirwais Ahmadzaï and sung by Lebanese underground diva Yasmine Hamdan it's as catchy as it gets, loved instantly by all my friends whom I've been feeding with it on regular basis the past 4 months... Video by Stephane Sednaoui partly shot in my favourite tea house in Cairo...
