Listen to this this! Pony Pony Run Run!

Hey Pony Pony Run Run! No fooling me! Shooting the video in Thailand was jsut an excuse to take a dream vacation and I know it! I'll forgive you because you are from Nantes, in the same corner of France as me. Pony Pony Run Run has a wide range oof references and i'll quote their PR propaganda on that "We love everything. There is no shame in enjoying a synth line from 2 Unlimited" That's pretty much the spirit i go by myself. When the music is good, no need to label it! Pony Pony Run Run is good good for sure!
Enjoy!
Charly.

Kuduro - African Electro

A little african sun for this summer. Kuduro - litterally Hard Ass - was born in the slums of Luanda around 10 years ago. Computer generated music that combines traditional Angolese beats with western dance and hip hop, Kuduro is one of many contemporary african music styles to emerge on the global scene over the past few years. Kuduro is already very popular in Portugal and Brazil - the portuguese lyrics and general feel clearly resemble Bailé Funk do Rio.
discover and enjoy!

If mainstream pop was always trhis good... Mini Viva - Left my heart in Tokyo

If mainstream pop was always this good, it would save me a lot of time hunting down underground gems on myspace! Mini Viva, two 20 year old brittish chicks who'll dig a hole in your brain as soon as you hear them. Addictive lyrics, attitude, a good rythm and a flashy top end video should drive these girls up the charts in no time.

Enjoy!
