Polly Scattergood makes dark and weird music and The Golden Filter create shimmering nu-disco. Quite unlikely pair to match but The Golden Filter remix of Please Don´t Touch is very interesting.

French DJ Onra´s Chinoiseries is an instrumental hip hop album, constructed from samples taken out of old Vietnamese records.

Onra writes on his MySpace page: I started this project in August 2006, when I got back from a trip to Viet Nam, the land of my grandparents. As a vinyl junky, I really couldn’t come back to France without bringing back some wax. After hours spent riding on a motorbike in Saigon streets, a taxi finally helped me find some old Asian records. I was feeling like an explorer discovering a forgotten treasure. I bought almost 30 vinyls, most of them in poor condition, went back to the crib, and started making beats with some material that I wasn’t used to.

Amazing stuff, listen to The Anthem by Onra below:

This remix is charmingly old fashioned. It´s Ciara´s Love Sex Magic with Justin (yeah, that title worked 3 years ago…) But the remix is timeless, check it out.

Tiga´s new album Ciao! comes out in April and already some of the tracks have appeared online like the epic Love Don´t Dance Here Anymore or the humorous Shoes. This one is more serious, a song called Speak, Memory (with Jori Hulkkonen and Phillipe Zdar).

(Our friend the web sheriff, does not want anyone to listen to mp3 stream of the track.)

I love this song! It was the first one I heard from N.A.S.A. last year, a shimmering electro/hip hop track that features a great trio: Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li.

Now there´s a video, check out Gifted – N.A.S.A. feat. Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li below:

Coolness. New The Juan Maclean video One Day features LCD Soundsystem´s Nancy Whang, who is now more or less permanent member of The Juan Maclean. The stylish retro-futuristic video is directed by Patrick Longstreth. And the song is amazing, very intelligent and sophisticated electronic music.
