Always one of the most debauched weekends in the festival calendar, Lovebox London Weekender resumes its annual quest to permanently deplete the capital's serotonin levels on July 19-20 at Victoria Park.

There are plenty of big names on show - Goldfrapp, Jack Penate, The Flaming Lips, plus a headline set from organisers Groove Armada - but what about the smaller bands? With eight stages to explore, it's easy to plunge into a funk of indecision - which is why we've put together this run-down of must-see bands, plus a free track from each for you to download and whack on your iPod. How bleeding modern. Enjoy!

Ladyhawke – 'Back Of The Van' (Van She Remix)
Fronted by endearingly shambolic Stevie Nicks lookalike Pip Brown, Ladyhawke's 80s-indebted synth-pop is as sleek and exhilarating as a Delorean in your driveway. Here their catchiest track is given a thrumming electro makeoever courtesy of Sidney's Van She.

Johnny Foreigner – 'Hennings Favourite'
A jagged scrawl of discordant guitars and boy-girl vocals, this track - taken from their debut album 'Waited Up Til It Was Light' - is a fabulous introduction to the Birmingham trio's serrated, edge-of-collapse indie racket.

Sebastien Tellier – 'Divine' (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)
Nookie-obsessed disco mumbler Tellier only scored 47 points with this song at Eurovision, but that's still 33 more than luckless binman-turned-crooner Andy Abrahams. Aussie nu-ravers du jour Midnight Juggernauts handle remix duties.

Liam Finn – 'I Will Explode'
Hushed and elliptical, Finn's sweetly enveloping lullabies are both stranger and more complex than you'd expect from the son of wholesome Crowded House songsmith Neil.

Buraka Som Sistema – 'Yah!' feat. Petty (Count And Sinden Remix)
Pitched somewhere between baile funk and breakbeat, this Lisbon-based trio should make perfect sense amidst the hedonistic carnage of Lovebox. "It’s just about dancing,” says DJ Rui Pité of 'Yah!' “It’s about the MC and his skills to make someone go random.”

Ebony Bones – 'We Know All About You'
Timbaland, Jarvis Cocker and Jarvis Cocker are all fans of this genre-melding London MC, who likes to call herself "Harry Potter with a vagina" for some reason. Catch her party-starting wiggy funk on the Gaymers Great Escape Stage on Sunday (July 13).

Cage The Elephant – 'Let Me Beat Your Eardrums'
Fronted by Axl Rose-a-like Matt Schultz, these Kentucky gonzo-rockers will almost certainly be the noisiest band at Lovebox. Want them to beat your eardrums? Download this track and decide for yourself.
