If Madonna was “Wow” yesterday, Hercules & Love Affair were “Now”. Their disco is small scale, but very modern day and right at the moment. Tape Recorder saw Hercules & Love Affair yesterday in Helsinki and found them much more interesting live than on record. The personality and all the nuances of their music came across on stage. There was no need for guest vocalist Antony Hegarty, when singers Nomi and Kim Ann Foxman took the stage and showed what disco and house looks like now.

Hercules & Love Affair are responsible for one of the best singles this year - Blind. Listen to Blind sung by Antony Hegarty below:

The new Hercules & Love Affair video You Belong is very stylish and artistic. Just like the previous Blind video. But when Blind was about Greek mythology, You Belong video is futuristic and new wave.

Is Body Crash going to be the biggest club tune this summer in Europe? It surely has all the potential. Pete Tong named Body Crash a killer tune and DJ´s around Europe are calling it the essential track of the year.

Body Crash by Buy Now is a track from Sweden, the guys behind it are Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso from Swedish House Mafia. The name "Buy Now" is awful, but the Body Crash video is super cool and clearly has a message. Diamond headed business men wave pork stakes at pole dancing women who are a bit extra-terresttial and lizard like..

The vocal hook is taken from Let’s All Chant by Michael Zager Band. A cover of the track was produced by Stock/Aitken/Waterman for radio DJ´s Pat&Mick in 1988.

French house and electro-pop duo Cassius have collaborated with Nike+ running series, and produced the second Nike+ Original Sport Music running track called Cassiusplay . The first one was LCD Soundsystem´s 45:33 . The track starts with 7 minute warm-up and ends with 7 minute warm-down.

Listen to sample of the track, read more and check interviews about the project here.

The Cassius track for Nike+ will be released later this week, check to see Nike+ website.

Surkin is a famous for Justice remix, but he also has tracks of his own. The 20 year old French DJ and producer has a superb track called Next of Kin. If Justice introduced the sound scape to mainstream dance floors, Surkin reminds us why we need to keep listening to what´s going on in Paris. Listen to Next of Kin on Surkin ´s MySpace:
