Jamie Woon
Blue Truth
The hotly tipped Brit School graduate mixes dubstep with backwards tape loops that are reminiscent of "Revolver"-era Beatles.
Daughter
Run
Beautifully sung, literary folk-pop with a similar ethereal melancholy to Laura Marling. A definite one to watch.
Jaded Hipster Choir
Cait Sith
Innovative synth- and beats-driven music that manages a nod to Wagner without sounding silly.
Amor Jones
Right Now
Feel-good, melodic hip-hop with lyrics that read like a particularly motivational self-help guide.
Rick Ross ft Ludacris
Black Man's Dream
Powerful return to form from Ross, who reimagines the American dream on this 1990s-style gangsta-rap cut. Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris features on one particularly hard-hitting verse.
Dirty Vegas
Days Go By (MiM0SA remix)
Dark, atmospheric electro inspired by both Kanye West and Marilyn Manson.
Subscape
Mr Kipling
Intense, off-kilter dubstep designed to disorientate the listener. As much a physical sensation as an aural one.
Savage Nomads
An Empty Seat
Catchy indie pop that recalls The Automatic and Hard-Fi.
Various Cruelties
Chemicals
Indie pop featuring that most unfashionable of musical tricks – the guitar solo. VC's lack of cynicism is refreshing.
