WONGIE INDIE DANCE SONG OF THE WEEK: simian mobile disco feat deep throat choir - hey sister

simian mobile disco feat deep throat choir - hey sister
as part of a three part video series, 'hey sister' falls perfectly in the middle of the emotional dance odyssey and has the benefit of being voiced by the amazing deep throat choir. taken off their upcoming new album murmurations, simian mobile disco have released a dance track that is both wonderfully haunting and surprising! definitely my favorite song this week!

[just hours after talking about a video and this pops up! i thought the song was already sensual and brilliant, but this naughty sapphic cougar on drugs video is even better!]

dance bitch dance: simian mobile disco - hustler

simian mobile disco - hustler [link 2]
[though not as good of a song as "it's the beat", the single release from attack decay sustain release is saved by the fact that this video is just so wrong that it's right. to tell you more would be spewing too much!]

remix baby: bjork - innocence (simian mobile disco 12" remix)

bjork - innocence (simian mobile disco 12" remix) [link 2]

it's always a bit of an event when bjork releases a single for the masses. taken off her mixed bag album volta, the timbaland produced "innocence" is easily the most commercial track from this collection.

though bjork is still asking fans to submit stuff for the video, the single was released today with a chock full of hot remixes. and because i'm so nice, i've offered up the best of the batch.

if you want to hear more remixes, discover the whole shebang via itunes (though US fans will have to wait until the 31st)

innocence remix EP track listing:

new video monday: unkle feat ian astbury, simian mobile disco, ash, faithless

unkle feat ian astbury - burn my shadow
[damn this is intense! goran visnjic (ER) stars in this killer vid with it's own in built countdown. taken from unkle's upcoming double album war stories, the dramatic vocals were provided by the awesome ian astbury (the cult) and is pretty darn wonderful! thanks to both stereogum and ifmv for the heads up]


simian mobile disco - i believe
[not as instantly catchy as "it's the beat", but still pretty cool nonetheless]


ash - polaris
[eh...]


faithless - i won't stop / i never stop (free uk/european itunes download only)
[here's something weird, faithless and coke have collaborated on a wacky interactive animated project with the creative collective paranoid. i don't really get it, but maybe i'm not their demo]

dance bitch dance: simian mobile disco - it's the beat

simian mobile disco - it's the beat
[discobelle tipped this way back in december and i've been bopping to this kicking club track since then. with elements of the classic technotronic "pump up the jam" thrown in, how can you not go a bit kooky over them? can't wait for the album!]

PS: here's a nice gem i found, check out this new rave mixtape these guys made recently
