It’s Tuesday, one of the most boring days of the week. But not anymore, here are a few of my favorite latests tracks:
Chromeo has been a staple in my dance mixes for a while now. This Canadian act can make even white people shake their ass. A mix of funk, disco and dance this is the perfect track for your next dance party.

I know I Know, it’s Vampire Weekend, they were so summer ’08. Many found them pretentious and untalented but I could not resist their afrobeat influenced pop tunes. They have finally announced a new album “Contra” and this is their first single.

Speak of hidden gems, Delorean is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to electronic music. Their dark danceable pop tunes are a delicious cocktail of Passion Pit, Phoenix and The Field. They could have become my ’09 summer soundtrack only if they were not too late in their release.

Let me start by saying that this is Wayne Coyne nephew’s band, Dennis Coyne. Stardeath & White Dwarfs mimics many of The Flaming Lips space rock aesthetics but they are by no means a complete copy. Living under your uncle’s shadow must be hard but think of all the benefits, one of them being a deal with Warner Brothers.
