The Focussed Distractions (aka, Jon McLeod) has hints of the Chemical Brothers and Beatles-esque harmonies on this particular track. Be on the look out for brand new music from The Focussed Distraction as a series of online singles over the next year, all to be titled: BLANKET ROOM RECORDS (Parts 1 – 4).
The french duo Equatuer (Romain Nouhi & Charles Rocher) have produced a wonderful New Wave track called, “Haunted”. From the initial second this track started to play, my ears instantly started smiling — well, you know what I mean.
Splash of 80′s grandeur are sprinkled through out, and reminiscent of bands such as the Sparks. Excellent combination of electronic pop and rock.
Tropical dance action from Congo Tardis #1, with the help of Marawa the Amazing.

Number One by Congo Tardis #1
90′s inspired house sound on this track from The 2 Bears, who released their full length album, “Be Strong” today. The 2 Bears are a London-based musical duo formed in 2009 composed of Joe Goddard (of electronic band Hot Chip) and Raf Rundell.
At last, the first track from my collaboration with The Reverb Junkie is here! For those that have followed me on twitter, facebook, or at my other site (www.oddyear.net) have known for sometime that I was working a on a new project but not much else. Well at long last we have a sample of what to expect from our forthcoming album.
Think along the lines of Hot Chip, Miike Snow, Imogen Heap and you’ll have a solid base as to the sound and characteristics of our music. The collaboration began when I first heard The Reverb Junkies vocals on a track from dntel (one half of the postal service) over at indabamusic.com. From there we started sending files back and forth and here we are with the release of our first single.
