Phonat – Set Me Free (video)

Though everyone's talking about Drop the Lime's new tune of the same name featuring the amazing Carrie Wilds on vocals, producer Phonat has his own "Set Me Free", which couldn't be any more different genre wise.

A retro guitar driven hook with chopped vocals and a catchy melody, fans of DatA, Ratatat, and Alex Metric will love Phonat. The tune easily crosses over into pop but still has a fresh feel. Equally, the video is visually eye-popping with some really great animation and editing.

Pick up the tune plus the rest of the release on iTunes now.

Thanks to Matt Ashley for the heads up!

Groove Armada – I Won’t Kneel (video)

Groove Armada are back with their new single "I Won't Kneel" featuring the vocal style of SaintSavior. It's the first release of the duo's upcoming new album Black Light out February 23, 2010 in the US.

"I think even people who've hated everything we've ever made before could absolutely love this record. I'm incredibly proud of it. If I could leave just one album of ours behind, there is absolutely no question as to which one it would be." - Andy Cato of Groove Armada

The guys say they didn't want to rehash their old sound, saying that would be too easy, and instead were inspired by many of the performers this year at their Lovebox music festival. Andy explains "They're the ones really leading the charge, making genuinely exciting, dance-informed music. And that sound really pushed us back towards people like Bowie, Gary Numan, New Order, Fleetwood Mac and Roxy Music."

You can pick up the new single, including remixes from Mock & Toof, the Bloody Beetroots, and more on iTunes now.

The Dead Pirates (McBess) – Wood (VIDEO)

Did you know über-talented illustrator McBess has a band called The Dead Pirates with fellow designer Simon? Well, the two teamed up with superhouse the Mill and created this music video for their band. The result is a fantastic piece done in McBess's signature drawing-style, all in black and white, and with a fun little story. Looking forward to seeing more from the two and hearing more of their music.
