Wash your Saturday down with the new video from crazy Swedes Dada Life.

‘Happy violence’ is a chunky as hell but pleasingly melodic banger that will feature on the forthcoming ‘So Much Dada’ album.

Goin Old School: Debbie Gibson – Electric Youth

The fact that Debbie Gibson’s ‘Electric Youth’ is from 1989 feels a little wrong somehow. Anyway, I’m dropping it ‘cos no-one reads this thing on a Saturday anyway! Besides, if a painfully hip Canadian ElectroPop duo can name themselves after the song that counts for something…right?

Joe Goddard’s ‘Gabriel’ video

Here’s the video for Hot Chip/2Bears man  Joe Goddard’s excellent single ‘Gabriel’.

The video is a little underwhelming really. I kept expecting something to happen. really nice tune though.

‘Gabriel’ is our now on DFA.

Birdy Nam Nam’s new video

Birdy Nam Nam are back, I honestly didn’t think they were around anymore. They are about to release their ‘Goin’ In’ single which shows they have lost none of their in-your-face electro edge.

The video is suitably bizarre, seeing as Machine Molle, WillSweeney and So Me had a hand in it.

The ‘Goin’ In’ EP is released 5th September.
