Mille – Stargazers [mp3]

Seven years back, the then 20 year old Mille from Stockholm, Sweden, managed to get one of his house tracks on a electronic/techno VA compilation – ”X marks the spot 2” – comprising several among the usual Swedish electro/dance suspects, including Håkan Lidbo, Stonebridge, and Spånka NKPG.

Usually, that’d be a great way to start your musical career. But Mille decided to jump ship and head for other pastures.

recorded in various locations… Newtown, San Fransisco, New York,ses in Newtown, form 2002 to about 2005….

London-based Toy Toy formed over a year ago with a self-proclaimed desire to stick two fingers up at the indie boy bands that didn’t have to sleep their way to the top…

Produced by Robert Harder (Whitey, Babyshambles), “ Fuck My Boyfriend” is their provocative and unapologetic debut single and is a dark tale of misguided relationships. Its punky sentiment and synth rocking choruses make up a slice of the finest crack-pipe pop. Nemesis to go describe them as “the long lost London cousins of The Rezillos”, which really hits the nail on the head.

As a special Valentine’s gift, they offer you a free download of “Fuck my boyfriend” on Feb 14. So make sure you visit their MySpace this Saturday (yes, you forgot?) and snag it. It’s huge. It’s brilliant. It’s the next big thing!!

The Tough Alliance – A New Chance (Tanlines Remix) [mp3 ]

Sophia Somajo – I Rony [stream AudioPorn FM]

OMG! Here's another simply brilliant – and gorgeous – contribution to the Swedish Female Artists Phenomenon.

If you're anywhere near to like Swedish electro queen Robyn, I suggest you give this baby a spin. Sophia Somajo may very well champion Robyn for the title. Not only does she produce oustanding electrosoul herself, she writes stuff for other artists as well and has collaborated with Adam Tensta, Vincent and Juvelen just to name a few.

The Good Natured. – Curious Eyes [mp3]

The Good Natured. is the latest girl synth pop sensation from the UK. Her debut EP Warriors will be available via iTunes from the 16th March. Already the EP has been heavily rotated on Radio 1and Radio 6. The Good Natured. has garnered great press such as The Sunday Times, ArtRocker and PopJustice. Her team dropped this brilliant song to our dropbox and we can't get enuff of it. Grab Curious Eyes and turn it LOUD, it's hot, it's fresh, it's dancey, it's melachonic. We will hear a lot about The Good Natured. in the future! Just remember what we told you about Little Boots last summer ;)

Heartbreak – Don't lose my time [Audio Porn FM]

No Little Boots post today. Couldn't find anything worthwhile. But I found Heartbreak . Don't know much about them, except that Little Boots likes them. Which is good enough for me… ;)

Seriously, this is brilliant. A mid-tempo electro beat with an eighties flavour and a manic lead singer. Simply irresistable…
