I absolutely love this remix of Rebecca Ferguson‘s new single. Definitely an improvement from her debut (in my opinion). This is some neo Chaka Khan shit right here. Enjoy.

The band’s debut single Check Your Head flips the switch from agro to disco in two taps of a high hat, the street-tough demeanour fading, in and out with vocoders and falsetto. Check out here.

A rock band that delves into synth-pop every now and again. Seems to be a trend in America right now, will be interesting to see what becomes of it. Check out here.

British rock and roll with a very pop sounding voice. Check out here.

Some nice lo-fi for you tonight. Check out here.

Swedish indie pop. The Slytest, consisting of young Swedes Dan Axelsson and Simon Larsson has had a fascination for American music since birth. The band manage to put some local colour to the recording with what in Sweden is considered “the Gothenburg sound” – indie choirs and vibrant distorted guitar melody lines in the vein of Broder Daniel and Håkan Hellström – two of Sweden’s major underground pop stars. Check out here.

I call this bubblegum drum and bass. Check out here.

Featured last summer, it’s nice to hear some new stuff from this chap. This cute and simple track is set for release on the 6^th February 2012, through Pleasant Pursuits / Essential Music (Cooking Vinyl).

Yes, it’s in Swedish. But it’s such a great song I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. Carries along the same veins as Oskar Linnros and Daniel Adams-Ray. Check out here.

This is the new video for Butch Walker And The Black Widows‘ song ‘Synthesizers’. With Matthew McConaughey. It’s the sort of song that makes fun of the current pop industry without sounding too angry. It’s pretty funny.

I don’t usually post music by Arabic bands, but when someone told me about Mashrou’ Leila I now feel the need to hunt for some more stuff from the Middle East. They’re from Lebanon and they’re causing a stir for carrying a sound that supports free-thinking, religious freedom and gay rights (from what I’ve read). Makes a change from the usual sound coming out of the area.

Also check out that remix by Électro Valentíno (on the Soundcloud above) which gives their sound a whole new, fierce spin. It’s all very cool.

I have a very strong feeling that Miike Snow are going to blow up this year. Everything I’ve heard is just as amazing as their debut.

This song is a bit euphoric, it’s probably worth giving a listen to on a Monday morning. Check out more Addict DJs stuff here.

This remix is special because it’s done by the same chap who directed the video to the same song.
