Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki Feat. Lil Jon - Turbulence

Dutch DJ Laidback Luke first hit the UK charts in 2009 in a collaboration with Swedish DJ Steve Angello with the No. 11 hit "Show Me Love", a cover of the 1993 hit by Robin S. 2011 brings a new collaboration in the form of "Turbulence", a thumping house track ready to set the clubs alight with Japanese-American DJ Steve Aoki (I'm In The House) and US rapper Lil Jon (famous for his top 10 hit "Get Low" and his featuring on the No. 1 Usher track "Yeah"). Perhaps if you are venturing to Ibiza this Summer, you might be hearing this in the likes of Pacha! Enjoy!

The Wanted - Glad You Came

Boyband The Wanted hit the UK charts first in August last year with their debut single "All Time Low" which hit No. 1, followed by a No. 2 hit in October with "Heart Vacancy". Both tracks were taken from their self-titled debut album which hit No. 4 in October. The band were revealed to have recorded the Comic Relief track for this year "Gold Forever" which hit No. 3 back in March. The second track to be taken from their 2nd studio album is "Glad You Came" (funny title I know), a catchy summer dance tune which has a hook that is reminiscent of much of the dance music that is coming out of Romania nowadays (think "Stereo Love"). Enjoy!

LMFAO Feat. Natalia Kills - Champagne Showers

LMFAO first hit the big time in the UK charts in December 2009 with "Let The Bass Kick In Miami Girl", a collaboration with Dutch DJ Chuckie and then hit No. 1 in June last year as a featured artist on David Guetta's "Gettin' Over You". Since then they have had one of the biggest No. 1 hits of the year so far with the infectious floorfiller "Party Rock Anthem". The second track to be taken from their forthcoming 2nd album "Sorry For Party Rocking" is "Champagne Showers", a collaboration with up-and-coming label mate Natalia Kills. The track is very much in the same vein as "Party Rock Anthem" and has an awesome video to go with it too! Enjoy!

Nicola Roberts - Beat Of My Dream

Yes that's right folks....another Girls Aloud member has gone solo, and this time it's Nicola Roberts (the ginger one)! "Beat Of My Drum" is the first single to be taken from her debut album "Cinderella's Eyes" which is being released later on this year. The track is produced by Major Lazer (A.K.A Switch & Diplo) who are mostly known for their track "Pon De Floor", most recently sampled by Beyonce in her track "Run The World (Girls)" and is an infectious piece of shouty, synthy pop very much in the same vein as the Ting Tings' "That's Not My Name". This is certainly different from the R&B dance-pop that has been the route of band-mate Cheryl. Enjoy!

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

Multi award-winning British band Coldplay have undoubtedly been one of the UK's most successful exports over the past decade or so, selling millions of albums and singles in the process. The band struck gold in 2008 though when it released "Viva La Vida", which would become the band's most successful single to date. It became the band's first No. 1 both here and stateside, where it was used in an itunes advert. Scoring 10 top 10 singles and 4 No. 1 multi-platinum albums in the UK alone, Coldplay are now back with the first single to be taken from their as yet untitled 5th studio album. The track, "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" is a typically summery piece of guitar driven pop with soaring vocals, which will undoubtedly be a huge hit around the world in  the coming weeks. Enjoy!
