#07 The Raveonettes – Forget That You’re Young [link]
Yet another lovely dreamy little piece from the Danes. Fits my winter mood…
#08 Austra – Beat and the Pulse [link]
Haunting electro The Knife style always makes my list. You should know that.
#09 Shit Robot – Take Em Up (John Talabot remix) [link]
This laidback Talabot remix is far better than the original.

Ah, longing to sit on my porch in a few months and listen to this…

Kid’s little flirt with Break Machine is this month’s happy pill.

Dunproofin’s TOP 10

#01LeeDM101 – Feeling Good, Getting Nowhere [link]
Sublime dubstep version (although it’s actually a bootleg mashup) of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good”
#02 Shit Robot – Take ‘Em Up (John Talbot Remix) [link]
Outstanding Remix – ’nuff said.
#03 LL Ton J – Roger Moore (Phonat Edit) [link]
It’s like the last ten years of french funk in one 4 minute burst
#04 The Raveonettes – Forget That Your Young [link]
I don’t care they haven’t moved on since the start of their career – still think they are leagues ahead of any other goths that may be around just now.
#05 Simon Iddol – Malibu Scene [link]
I should copyright my comments: Still think this fails as a mashup, but works as a track in its own right.
#06 Lykke Lit – Wounded Rhymes (Album) [link]
Get used to this album – you’re going to be hearing a lot of it this year.
#07 Beth Ditto – I Wrote The Book [link]
Simian Mobile Disco bring out the best of Beth. Neat homage video entertaining, but not necessary.
#08 Hank & Cupcakes – She’s Lost Control [link]
Inspired cover of a Joy Div classic
#09 Joy Division – Transmission (Playmobil Video) [link]
C’Mon – how can this not be in the top 10 ?
#10 Pheugoo – Rolling In A Deep Wicked Game [link] / Divide & Kreate – Crazy In The Deep [link]
Difficult to choose between the two – both excellent in their own respect.

Honorable Mentions:

Munk – Keep My Secret [link]
Is this the same Munk from way back who used to make excellent house tracks ? Nonetheless, excellent pop with interesting video.
Bat For Lashes – Strangelove [link]
The Mode as used for La Mode.
Moullinex – Catalina [link]
Just a remix away from being an Ibiza anthem, featuring a video that looks like it could have been made using a Kinnect camera.
Michael Zager Band – Let’s All Chant (Zzebraa Remix) [link]
Sometime bootlegger takes a live approach from this inspired remix.
Streetlab – Lights Go Down (Dunproofin’ Remix) [link]
