"The best Eurodisco is cotton candy for the ears, a sugar rush of sparkling synths, hypnobeat and delicate melody. This Swedish production hooks you before the vocals even start."USA Today" (print, Sep 25th 2007)

Aw poor overlooked Dragonette, once in a while a band comes along and your sure they are gonna make it big, that was my reaction to hearing Dragonette for the first time last year. While they have been mildy successful in the UK and Canada they should have done much better with their debut album 'Galore' which really is ALL KILLER NO FILLER!
It was one of our records of the year in 2007. So if you haven't checked them out already you must. They are also a brilliant live act so if you ever get the chance go to a show!!

The D.E.Y. features a combination of urban R&B, Latin, hip-hip, and pop. They desire to cross cultural and lingual boundaries with Afro-Latino influenced, fusion-heavy sounds that celebrate Latin heritage.
MusicWeek.com has posted a review of the new album by CSS "Donkey".
M83 is a one man french electronic group and have just released "Saturdays=Youth" produced by Ewan Pearson (Ladytron, The Rapture, Goldfrapp). It reminds me of Cocteau Twins with a much poppier vibe. Very 80's. Check them out.
This picture raised a big LOL from us this morning, AllaboutMadonna.com report that this crazy reporter (on the left) harassed Madonna on the walk from her gym to her house this morning in London ,trying to get a ticket for her show at Radio One's big weekend this Saturday. So much going on here we aren't sure whats funnier!
a) The look on Madonna's face
b)The look on the reporter's face
c)That the reporter looks like he's about to do the f**k you arm motion or stab her with an imaginary knife
d)The bodyguard's package
e)The people gawping at the scene in the background.
Answers on a postcard please!

Some artists will do anything to promote themselves, even showing up AND performing on a soap opera like "One Life to Live." Good thing we like the song a lot!

So Glass Candy, perhaps old news to some, but definitely worth a mention anyway. Their album Beatbox is amazing. They have been described as Neo-Disco. It's such a nice mellow album it makes you wanna take a nice long evening drive in a convertible with the top down :)
This is the video for Digtial Versicolor. The way it's shot reminds me of the movie 'Downtown 81' I love it!
They have a new song on their MySpace and are always posting demos so check them out!

"Rest My Chemistry" is definitely worth a watch regardless of if you are a fan of Interpol or not. Very innovative. The song's not bad either, not bad at all!
We've been waiting to see this in full for a long time. Visit Madge-tribe to see it in full!
It doesn't get any better than this. Square dancing with Robyn...
So this isn't music related but worth it nonetheless. Modern Tonic is running a contest to win free tickets to the Sex and the City event at Radio City Music Hall! Good luck!
Modular is offering a free remix of Ladyhawke aka Pip Brown is the Kiwi born, Aussie bred, now residing in London artiste who stitches pure modern electro pop with the vintage day-glo disco elements of a bygone era. Ladyhawke's debut album will be released in September this year. Whilst Back Of The Van coupled with remixes by Fred Falke and Mock & Toof will be available early June.
Back Of The Van is an 80s hair brush sing-a-long that sparkles with discodust. A timewarp jam that is bringing the shimmering synth and bouncy bass of the acid-wash decade to a new audience. Whilst Van She Tech's Fire Engine Remix is a sweaty club rub, laced with a downright dirty attitude.
Tami Chynn is a new artist from Jamaica. The track is produced by Akon and Red One. It samples a bit of Kylie's 'Love At First Sight' as well as 'Time After Time' by Cyndi Lauper. Fun for the summer! Exclusive remixes coming soon!
CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) are offering a free download of a new track off of their forthcoming album "Donkey". It's called "Rat is Dead (Rage)."
"Lady Gaga Changing the world one sequin at a time..." This is destined to be a summer hit!

Robyn performing 'Cobrastyle' on Letterman. After having had a lot of successful with her album 'Robyn' in Europe, Robyn has just released the acclaimed album in the U.S and is currently touring select cities here. Go see her if she comes to a city near you!
Ladyhawke is a new artist from New Zeleand. This song is everything, great 80's flashback from the sound to the video. Love it!
Happiness is taken from Goldfrapp's fourth album 'Seventh Tree'. The album is a big departure from the sound that Goldfrapp have become famous for, but this new folky electro sound suprisingly works for them :D
“I don’t care who I’m compared to as long as people listen to the music,” Perry says. “Usually I find it funny to say I’m like a skinnier version of Lily Allen and a fatter version of Amy Winehouse. It always renders a good chuckle.”
This is Katy Perry's video for UR So Gay, which Madonna recently said was one of her current favorites! Katy Perry's debut album 'One of the Boys is out this Spring, but you can by the EP 'UR So Gay' now on Itunes! :D
