Los Mono brings positive entergy and inspired, post-modern funk at every corner on their album Somos Los Que Estamos. “Promesas” is a pounding party jam as narrated by robots carrying samplers – with plenty of thick bass lines and the sparkling sprinkle of a harp for exoticism’s sake.
If you like the track check out the album. For more info visit Los Mono’s MySpace Latino page.

Ana Laan was born in Spain, but grew up in Sweden. Her sweet, sublime voice spins gentle melodies in both Spanish and English, as evidenced on this track “Paradise” from her album Chocolate and Roses. The track’s rhythm has a light bossa-nova, ’60s bachelor pad-esque stylishness but Laan’s cooing vocal turn is the true highlight.

You’ve had your mind blown at the Daft Punk show, you’ve been dancing to Justice for months. Now you’re ready to get a little deeper. French newcomer Danger brings together glitchy pop with hard-hitting power chords and tone-pitched vocals. It’s a synth disco/funk overload and it’s pretty much irresistible. Hear it on the right sound system and it’ll likely change your life (at least for about 4 minutes).

Veze Skante is a Latino R&B/hip-hop star-in-the making. This laid-back, head-nodding funk attack gives Skante the chance to unlease verses at his most relaxed and seductive. Myra comes in strong at the chorus to add a bit more soul.

You may have heard Yael Naims “New Soul” in ads for the new MacBook Air. We’re featuring another track from her self-titled album here. “Far Far” has a lulling, intoxicating rhythm – the instruments working within this frame to create a bit of beauty in which the pieces fall together like clockwork. Above it all, Naim’s sweet and fluttering vocals guide the listener into some sweetly melancholic places.
