As Tiga returns with one of his finest singles to date, the dark & infectious "Don't Break My Heart" and as he continues his successful live show tour, making a stop in Dublin this Saturday for Metropolis, I thought it was a good opportunity to dedicate the next one of my über-nerdy lists to himself.

Kora was our very own Siouxsie Sioux in Poland. Her cult status as a front-woman of Maanam, most charismatic of all punk & rock bands back in the 80's, was undeniable. In 1988 Kora teamed up with Püdelsi to release their explicit, uncompromising, noisy collaborative album "Bella Pupa". The title track resembles some of Yoko Ono's vocal tricks and post punk production. What a smashing occasion to play Ono's "Walking on Thin Ice" in Felix da Housecat's 'dancefloor-ready' mix I was totally hooked by back in 2003. Such a juicy pair, let's get this disco punk party started!
This true gem of a dance record was released without a lot of fanfare 2 years before Felix Da Housecat's breakthrough debut "Kittenz and Thee Glitz". It hasn't lost any of its charm since in my humble opinion...
