CHROMEO: Momma's Boy

Another odd single, this time from Montreal electro-funksters Chromeo. The electric piano is in full deployment with Dave 1's smooth pop vocals and spritey lyrics. The eighties are an undying and suprisingly vital pop zombie. Animated video directed by Stephane Manel with artists David Devaux, Richar Mvogo and Stephane Manel. Watch the music video (qt).

THUNDERHEIST: Jerk It

Dynamic electro-hop duo Thunderheist hail from the dual Toronto and Montreal electro scenes. Set to release their much anticipated debut on Big Dada this March, this is their first video, directed by That Go, which features trashy chicken-choking spandex girl. Fashion is dead- long live fashion! Watch the music video (qt).

FEVER RAY: If I Had A Heart

If you were waiting for a new The Knife record, you will be pleased with the debut of Fever Ray. Karin Dreijer Andersson, half of the brother-sister duo, has released a solo outing under the Fever Ray guise, and stakes out off-shoot territory: slightly less electro, but equally moody and sinister. The production style is signature in darkness, but with tinges of more organic motifs and ambient construction. The video is directed by long time collaborate and fellow Swede, Andreas Nilsson. Watch the music video (qt).

REX THE DOG: Bubblicious

Second cute clip from electro canine, Rex The Dog. Stop motion animation abounds on this Geoffroy De Crecy directed spot, mixing paper crafted caricatures, simple staging, synth flourishes and that unmistakable Yazoo vocal sample. Watch the music video (qt).

HEADMAN: On And On

Headman is often a favourite for runway fashion show, mixing electro with rock elements for stylish effect. This video, directed by Simon Owens, is decidely, not so glamourous. Instead finding inspiration in Coco Rocha style Irish dancing with poor lighting and grainy film stock puts this video in the "indie" category. Watch the music video (qt).

METRONOMY: A Thing For Me

I have totally gone insane for this track. The off kilter singing, the dorky school-boy lyrics, the awkward falsetto. All these seemingly asinine elements mix into a cocktail of pure genius. The karaoke-inspired bouncing-ball video is directed by Megaforce. Watch the music video (qt).

CSS: Move

Brazilians rule. CSS get their move on in their latest video directed by Keith Schofield. They apparently die in this video too, showcasing the dangers of driving while intoxicatingly hip. Watch the music video (qt).

KYLIE MINOGUE: Two Hearts

Kylie covers Kish Mauve's excellent Two Hearts. Dawn Shadforth directs channeling her glam rock muse previously invoked for Goldfrapp. Watch the music video (qt).

HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR: You Belong

With references to early Detroit techno house sound, the Brooklyn based project helmed by Andy Butler, continues to plow on, sweeping the clubs, runways and ipod nation. Australian director Kris Moyes adds a touch of indie esoteria to this gem of a single, while fully featuring the stunning looks and vocals of Brooklyn chanteuse Nomi. Watch the music video (qt).

THE TING TINGS: Great DJ

After being catapulted into the limelight via a ubiquitous iPod commercial, the Salford based duo of The Ting Tings follow through with a brilliant summertime pop album. Aptly entitled We Started Nothing, the album mixes today's genres of the moment, electro, punk and pop for a perfect cocktail of catchy hooks and punchy lyrics. Nothing new invented here, but certainly good fun for the now. Video directed by Factory Film's Rachel Reupke. Watch the music video (qt).

JUSTICE: DVNO

Okay, so at first I was a bit blase about the Justice album as I really had high expectations riding on the dancefloor destroyers and Kanye West robbers We Are Your Friends and Waters Of Nazareth. I've really warmed to the studio album over the past couple of months, as I've made a more concerted effort to listen to the album as a whole. And it grows. So I'm slapping another Justice video up, also directed by So Me, riffing the lyrics to popular logo designs. Dansez, maintenant! Watch the music video (qt).

JUSTICE: D.A.N.C.E.

Time for a golden oldie. Truthfully, I wanted to post this video ages ago, but these days, it is getting increasingly harder to find hi-quality music videos to give you. Streaming videos truly blow (record labels pay heed!) and watching YouTube is immediate but is the same as watching scrambled porn- all the money shots are pixelated to shit. So if you're a savvy cliptip podcast subscriber, here it is. Justice's funky t-shirt loving music video, as directed by Jonas and Francois. Watch the music video (qt).

THE KNIFE: Na Na Na

It is entirely unclear whether this is an official The Knife video or not, as it is a rather non-single track and lacks some of the grotesque imagery so familiar to official The Knife videos. That being said, it is not usual suspect director Andreas Nilsson, who's twisted vision was last seen here on Moby's Alice video. It's a quick little ambient track in neutral tones, like a little shot of Swedish weirdness. Directed by David Vegezzi. Watch the music video (qt).

THE PRESETS: This Boy's In Love

Second single from the Syndey electro duo, The Presets. Surprisingly more melody and pop sounding that previous industrial edged efforts, this video features brawls in puddles of milk, black powdered faces and soaring vocals amid sparking rain drops and lead singer Julian Hamilton's menacing mouth. Never have crooked teeth looked so sexy. Watch the music video.

BODYROX: Yeah Yeah

Admittedly, I enjoy both this this electro house stomper and its glorious soft core porn music video. Featuring firecracker vocalist, Luciana, and a synth line that stabs at my jiggy bones, it blew the eurotrash bronzed sets of Miami back to hurricane season. Get down with this London crew before the guido set hog ties it to Lameville. The video? Oh yeah... titillated by director Michael Baldwin. Watch the music video (qt).

CHROMEO: Bonafide Lovin'

Good times party duo Chromeo continue to bring back eighties inspired electrofunk with a third single from their sophamore release, Fancy Footwork. I was fortunate enough to catch the twosome as they brought the house down recently at the Bowery Ballroom. It absolutely blows my mind the Dave1 (aka David Macklovitch) is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia university. Bonafide brilliant. This video is a riff off the iconic Money For Nothing Dire Straits video, reinterpreted by director Nima Nourizadeh. Watch the music video (qt).

HOT CHIP: Ready For The Floor

From the forthcoming third long player entitled Made In The Dark (February, folks), Hot Chip are at it again. More blippy pop electro rock with more hypercolour eye popping videos that look like they were wardrobed in the dark. The androgynous sounding lead vocalist with the equally androgynous name, Alexis Taylor, takes on the identity of The Joker, perhaps deliberately orchestrated to cash in on the eminent release of the comic book fanboy cinemagasm, The Dark Knight. Either way, the tune is pleasing enough, with all the signature Hot Chip-isms that will keep hipster brats bittorrenting 'till the RIAA comes a knockin'. Directed by Partizan's Nima Nourizadeh, although probably art directed by a criminal mastermind genius. Watch the music video (qt).

UNKLEJAM: Love Ya

For some reason, Pharell's debut album never sounded this funky. Perhaps this three piece electro-soul lacks the impressive production credits of the crooning half of the Neptunes, but this single has got the swagger to warrant a second glance. Paul Gore directs the frantastic trio in this high energy ball 'o funk. Watch the music video (qt).

TRASH FASHION: It's A Rave Dave

Have you ever been so overworked that the only thing you want to do after getting home at 10:00pm is go straight to bed? Hence my absence. I really don't have much energy left. Except for goofilicious new ravey "Guntronic - Disco - Warehouse - Rock." Reeking of East London douchbagism, the four piece mix everything that is wrong with kids today and makes it brilliant. Watch the music video (qt).

DRAGONETTE: I Get Around

Toronto / London based Dragonette have a strange pedigree. Singer Martina Sorbara, who also sang on a recent Basement Jaxx single, is the daughter of Ontario Finance Minister, Greg Sorbara. Instrumentalist Dan Kurtz is a member for the funk electronic soul jam, Raw The New Deal. They make unabashed pop music with touches of electro edge. And they kinda sass it up. Wendy Morgan helms the video showcasing their consumably playful sexy lesbo breedo pop confection. Watch the music video (qt).
