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).

HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR: Blind

This track essential tore apart the runaways of the recent fashion weeks across the world. Featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Antony Hegarty, last seen dueting with Bjork, you can imaging a bunch of sashaying fashionists delicately, dispassionately dancing to the saxophone infused tempo. It's an amazingly sophisticated track that stands proudly amongst a backdrop of harsh electrofied fakers. The rest of the album is reported to be just as outstanding. DFA does it yet again. Directed by Saam. Watch the music video (qt).

ERICK MORILLO: Break Down The Doors

Unearthed from the underground clubs of 2005, comes this tech house gem from superstar deejay Erick Morillo. Simple, clean and throbbing, Erick teamed up with UK rapping electronic outfit Audiobullys to add their unmistakeable dispassionate British drawl to booty shaking effect. The shiny chic sexy veneer of director Phil Griffin keeps the video looking fashionably fresh, despite its original release date. Oh, and that is supermodel Naomi Campbell. And those may or may not be her ex-assistants' heads mounted on the wall. Watch the music video (qt).

GROOVE ARMADA: Get Down

Under the auspicious eye of E-Boy, Groove Armada, who I feared had disbanded, unleash a throbbing new LP and single. Perhaps we are on a bit of a bunny bender, but this video, which blends the best of the electro house zeitgeist infused with the ragga scat of vocalist Stush, video directing collective Pleix serve up an adorable rutting season mob of plush randy rabbits to maul any unsuspecting passerby with bunny spunk. Dance floors will be destoryed, casualties will be splattered. Cheers for Canada Day long weekend from Toronto. Watch the music video (qt).

MADONNA: Sorry

*COACHELLA* Madonna issues an apology statement for the following: 1) trying to bring back the queen-of-the-desert-camel-toe leotard as casual wear, 2) scalping Farrah Fawcett and fashioning herself a feathered blonde meat hat 3) threating to white lady krump during her new tour, 4) crashing typically indie- and emerging-band centric Coachella morphing it into a slithering glittering pop spectacle, and consequently tipping the balance of patchouli honky dredlockers, slouch pantsed skate kids and vintage full lengh corduroy pants a-baking-in-the-sun hipsters balance towards the rimless euro-sunglass sporting, ckone spritzed androgynous club kids set. I envision a Jets vs. Sharks West Side Story style show down. I can't wait. The video is directed by Jamie King. Watch the video (qt - stream).
