2. Dum Dum Girls – ‘Bhang Bhang, I’m a Burnout’

3. Fever Ray – ‘When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix)’
Fever Ray are a little bit outlandish. You might have seen their bizarre acceptance “speech” (posted below), which is enough proof right there. But ‘When I Grow Up’ is an ace track, and this remix from Californian Bassnectar does it justice.

4. Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley – ‘As We Enter (Tinie Tempah Remix)’
You’ll have this song on repeat at least a few times, guaranteed. Nas and Marley recently teamed up to cut the album ‘Distant Relatives’ (which is released this week) – and NME Chart topper Tinie Tempah has done wonders with this single, placing a reggae sound atop a big band hook.

5. Alicia Keys – ‘Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down (Live On Jools Holland)’
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys produced the now classic ‘Empire State Of Mind’ last year, and Keys has since recorded a sequel, which appeared on her fourth album, ‘The Element of Freedom.” Here’s her gorgeous live performance of it on Later With Jools Holland.

6. Fang Island – ‘Daisy’
We’re loving this peppy song – but don’t ask us to make any sense of the music video for it. Politicians, Dirty Dancing fanatics with face paint and confetti?

7. Trouble Andrew feat. Spank Rock and Lil John – ‘I’m Wasted’
Trouble Andrew, the former pro-snowboarder-turned-rapper who is also engaged to Santigold, never really got as much attention as he deserves in the musical world. But with some help here from Spank Rock and Lil John, this song is making its rounds on the web. Hello, new night out drinking tunage.

10. Mother Mother – ‘Heart Heavy’
Canadians Mother Mother have a new album, ‘O My Heart,’ due out the end of this month.

We’ve also got a free download of the single’s B-Side, ‘Heart Heavy.’
