London dance-pop diva Katy B is back with a brand new track! “What Love Is Made Of” is a thumping, pumped-up 90′s house monster with throbbing beats, sexy sweet vocals, and an infectiously smooth throwback hook. Take a listen:

New Zealand electro-pop princess (and recent NZ X Factor judge) Ruby Frost recently hit the studio to record a stunning cover of Disclosure’s “White Noise.” With minimal electro-acoustic production, Ruby’s crystalline, earthy voice glazes through the track and over the synthy static ethereally. Emotive and raw, the cover is a unique, more tender take on the originally club-driven British garage-house track.
The “Damn! I Wish I Was Your Cover” feature was exclusively recorded for NZ dance radio station George FM. Take a look at the visual, below:

The collaborative prayers of music bloggers everywhere have been answered in the form of “Just Desserts,” the diabolical new bitch-pop duet from Marina & the Diamonds and Charli XCX. Just in time for the girls’ join tour in the States this spring (oh please, let them perform this live together!), the buzzy British artists have joined to serve up sweet revenge on a bad ex-boyfriend in the new free download track.
With a naughty, flirty synth-line and devilishly twinkling piano flourishes, the electro-pop track is the perfect girl-power anthem for the pop pairing. Take a listen and download below:

Norwegian electronica artist Annie is back in full force with a brand new single, the infectious, ultra-90′s throbbing club banger “Tube Stops & Lonely Hearts.”
Armed with Annie’s quintessential airy vocals, “Tube Stops & Lonely Hearts” is a little edgier than the frothy nu-disco of her 2009 ‘Don’t Stop’ era, this time delving into the late 90′s rave scene with pulsating beats and hypnotic atsmospherics. Take a listen (and a look) at the lo-fi video for the track, below:

Dance-punk duo Heartsrevolution recently dropped their incredible free-download concept mixtape titled ‘Revolution Rising,’ a collection of hip-hop-tinged electronic-punk anthems for the post-Tumblr generation. Featuring mind-bending samples from music and film alike, the mixtape is an audio-cultural snapshot of youth in revolt, a generation of kids lost in the binary of internet culture and reality TV dreams.
Hip-hop beats, sugary indie synths, and aggressive punk aesthetics help to carve a unique and cluttered sound, a fuzzy, freaked-out, frantic soundtrack for a numbed-out dance culture. Mixed by legendary hip-hop producer Just Blaze, singer Lo spits fire over the beats, lamenting our mindless, fame-obsessed youth. Frenetic and kinetic, the mixtape is a burst of battery-charged pop-culture criticism. Take a listen:
