1. Dolby Anol - SexyJack (Tigerbass)
The most exciting electro duo in the UK got ignored in Glasgow, so now they're making their mark in London, Moscow, and the US.
2. Duke Dumont - When I Hear Mu'Sic (Turbo)
If SpeakerJunk and Co. make 'thug house', then this is 'thug techno'. Stack-shifting hip-hop tech-house that doesn't leave time to breathe.
3. Spektrum - Don't Be Shy (Nonstop)
Their sexiest dirtiest, funniest number. They're pretty wild live too!
4. Hot Chip - Shake a Fist (White)
Could be their best tune yet!
5. Interpol - The Heinrich Maneuver (Phones remix) (Parlophone)
Virtually unrecognisable from the original, Paul 'Phones' Epworth out-switches Switch using ten tonnes of glitchy sub-bass, and introduces his own hypnotic pianos and vocals.
6. Modeselektor - Killdigger Kitty (Copyfokking Edit) (Bpitch Control)
Some cheeky blog kidz re-edit the original (Kill Bill) to feature Spank Rock and what sounds like Fat Man Scoop. Very stupid. Very good.
7. The Ghost Frequency - Nightmare (Adventures Close To Home Remix) (City Rockers)
The rocking original gets put through a Knife machine by this team who host some of London's best parties.
8. Kanye vs. Kraddy - Golddigger (CDR)
Kraddy puts Kanye in his place by twisting his vocals up to a helium computer squeek, then knocks some crunk and crunch into the funk below.
9. Justice feat. Uffie - The Party (LA Riots Edit) (Ed Banger)
"Let's get this party started right" ... sure does!
10. Dirty Summer - War is Bad, Bono is Great (CDR)
These Dunfermline kids - all born in the 90s! - make menacingly brilliant post-punk. Watch out!
