'No Kinda Man' by the Canadian electronic-esoteric duo Junior Boys.

The Junior Boys have contributed the single 'No Kinda Man' already in 2008 to the 'Physical’s Body Language mix series' www.physical-music.com.

'Dog Days Are Over' by Brit Award 2010 Winner Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) from the album 'Lungs'. The video premiered in March 2010; the single 'Dog Days Are Over' came out on 11th April. The 60ies-tribal styled video shows Florence in a nature-ceremony alike dance. On her website, she is described as the "the raven haired Flo".

Downtempo-relaxing 'The Keeper' by the British musician, DJ, producer Bonobo featuring Andreya Triana from the new album 'Black Sands' (Ninja Tune, March 2010).
