Stainless Style
Neon Neon
A gift from the indie/electro heavens – a multi-layered concept album about car magnate John DeLorean that’s full of suitably metallic, zoomy synths and future classic songs.

Fancy Footwork
Chromeo
Gleaming, 80s-style, plastic electro-funk-pop by two guys from Montreal, Canada, who want to make catchy songs but, above all, have a hell of a lot of fun.

Zero Life Night Vision
Kap Bambino
A frankly insane pair, Kap Bambino are an 8-bit, noisecore revelation – think Karen O in her punkier moments, going a bit manic over mashed-up computer game synths.

Coming across like Justice-meets-80s-sampling gurus Art Of Noise, Mo chucks in a wealth of wobbly keyboards and crazy noises and weaves some tech-pop brilliance.

Homies & Homos
Riton
Riton applies his witty lyrics to a range of styles – there’s mixtape drum & bass, LCD Soundsystem electro-punk, vocoded disco house and a smattering of hip-hop.
