What a massive video and song by French electronica artist Kid Loco called Pretty Boy Floyd. The track is from Kid Loco´s Party Animals & Disco Biscuits album that´s his first in English. The video shows an amazing animated vision - it mixes mythologies, fairytales, the whole universe.

Take a look! Kid Loco - Pretty Boy Floyd:

British indie guitarist and New York electro punk singer team up and the result is a nice electric rock duo Pin Me Down . Pin Me Down is a side project of Bloc Party guitarist Russell Lissack and the track Cryptic is out now. The influences are from the 80s and the singer Milena Mepris sounds like Go-Go´s era Belinda Carlisle meets early Madonna and Kim Wilde.

Tonight is the night of the world´s biggest annual camp festival “The Eurovision Song Contest.” Sebastien Tellier represents France with his great lo-fi electro pop song Divine. The track is from his Sexuality album which is produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk.

I love Basement Jaxx´s classic mix of Adele´s Cold Shoulder. Basement Jaxx have really improved the original version, which I find a bit dull. Pete Tong has played the remix a lot on BBC Radio 1.

Listen and view the original Adele - Cold Shoulder here.

It´s cool that Moby keeps reminding us of animal rights, this time by combining disco with a political video. But is dance music the right medium for political statements? Who feels like dancing when thinking about chicken heads chopped off? The track "Disco Lies " itself is solid, Moby back in the 90s. Sounds like 90s is the new 80s.

Great new song by Zoot Woman, Stuart Price´s band. The song literally starts to live in your head, but you´ll love it.
