SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "Hyperballad/Pluto live in Paris" - Björk /// "Freak" - LFO

The energy. The ecstasy. The genius. The exuberance. The phenomenal Björk. That version of the cult "Hyperballad" from Volta tour, mash-ed up with LFO's "Freak" can quite possibly be one of the most clever and astonishing ideas that both Miss Guðmundsdóttir and Mark Bell ever came up with together. This live performance in cathartic!

CHOON OF THE DAY: "LIGHT OF LOVE (Cut Copy Re-vision)" - The Miracles Club + Neurotic Drum Band Remix

It doesn't happen that often musicians decide to shoot the video for the remix version of their tracks as opposed to the original tune. The Miracles Club must have been seriously digging this Cut Copy mix of their flamboyant "Light of Love". You can't beat a good oldfashioned black and white video with a bit of voguing. Absolutely brilliant!

SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "Tango el Amal" - Nour Al Houda - نور الهدى - تانجو الأمل /// "Tango" - Soapkills

Lebanese singer and actress Nour al-Houda, recorded more than 100 songs during a career that spanned more than 60 years. I couldn't find the info on the time of the release of this rare piece of Arabic tango but I'm guessing it goes as back as late 1940's. The second track is the absolutely phenomenal and enigmatic rendition of the song by Lebanese Underground's finest duo Yasmine Hamdan and Zeid Hamdan vel Soapkills. They used samples of the legendary Mohamed Abdelwahab too. What a feast for Orient loving ears like mine :-)

SHREM'S LATE MONDAY NIGHT SESSIONS... "FEBER" - Familjen feat. Ninsun Poli

Johan T Karlsson aka Familjen makes the juiciest of beats! This collaboration with Ninsun Poli was a b-side to their fantastic single "Det Snurrar I Min Skalle" back in 2007. I have only discovered it about an hour ago. This is where it all started and blossomed with the pair teaming up again on Familjen's euphoric "Mänskligheten" last year with the amazing "Vinter I April" and "Mitt bästa". No other country in Europe in the past few years scored so many good points on the synth-pop field as Sweden...
