Since we last wrote about Charli XCX’s new single You’re The One, and how we quite liked it, we’ve become obsessed with it, it’s easily going to feature in our top tracks of the year. The combination of unique vocals and Industrial beats tempered with soft BladeRunner synths has us hooked.
And now there is finally a video! Mucking around in a warehouse follows.
The ‘You’re The One’ EP is out now.

Here’s the video for Santigold’s new single, The Keepers. A driving, politically and socially charged, ElectroPop track and one that is infectiously catchy with it’s message.
Santi White herself directed the clip, which I think manages to get across some of what she is saying in the song.
The Keepers is out now.

You know what I thought when I went to bed last night? I thought ‘I hope there’s a new track from The Presets released when I wake up’, their first new track for four years’. Look what happened!
Youth In Trouble is finally out today. A hypnotic, undulating, acidic odyssey. Both abrasive and funky as hell. Yoshi Sodeoka directs the video effects hell video, an assault on the senses to match the track.

Here’s the video for Sébastien Tellier’s new single Russian Attractions, taken from his awesome new album My God Is Blue.
The clip was directed by Meredith Danluck and produced by Vice. Here’s what they say about the clip: “We took the idea of falling in love with a stranger, and considered the fact that love itself is a stranger. There’s a reason we use the word "fall" when referring to love. Because when its pull becomes too strong to resist, you lose your balance and what happens next is an unknown beyond our control. Although scary, the unknown is also undeniable attractive.”. I don’t know about all that, but it look fancy!
‘Cochon Ville’ is the first single taken from Sébastien Tellier‘s new album ‘My God Is Blue’ available now via Record Makers.
