Johan Agebjorn - Watch The World Go By (Young Galaxy Remix)
The original version of this track is taken from Sally Shapiro producer Johan Agebjörn’s debut long-player Casablanca Nights, out May 10th on Paper Bag Records. For those who may find the Swede’s brand of nu-disco/euro-pop a little hard to digest, Young Galaxy have added a decidedly woozy edge; the chorus inhabits a new dimension of goose-bump inducing euphoria as a result.

FM Belfast - New Year
After seeing 2000 Danish kids go absolutely batshit crazy to FM Belfast live at Spot Festival last year, it has been stuck in my head that they’re potentially the biggest pop export Iceland has ever seen. Explosively brilliant, smart, pretty and fun, their songs are at once like some kind of modern classic you’ve heard before but also like nothing else out there. This is the first song form their forthcoming new record “Don’t Want To Go Home” on Morr Music, out in June.

Chad Valley - Fast Challenges
Chad Valley, aka Oxford resident and Jonquil frontman Hugo Manuel, has released a track from his forthcoming “Equatorial Ultravox” EP, out June 20th. It went supernova in the blogosphere yesterday – your gran has probably blogged it by now. It’s a distinctive take on tropical electronica that’s going to be the cool kids’ summer soundtrack of choice in 2011.
