Molek FMDiscodeine: Discodeine (Dirty)
French duo of Pilooski and Pentile gets buzz-worthy love from the hipsters.
Cinnamon Chasers: Science (Modus)
Cinnamon Chasers aren’t a bunch of condiment crazies making music, just one Londoner, Russell Davies, making electronic music that’s 2 teaspoons short of cloying.
