Eurovision 2008, and the Bosnian entry sounds like feeling every emotion you've ever felt at once:

I feel a Sigur Rós cover is in order.

Ok so I'm totally in love with this:

It may well be on the way to being my favourite dnb track, a title currently held by 'All Blue' by Sigma: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggga-yXGnRQ

Danny Byrd has squeezed more hooks and catchy samples into 'weird science' than most artists fit into an album. It's so euphoric, but at the same time totally weird and futuristic sounding. I almost hesitate to suggest it, but I think I may have found my Something Good '08...

Another breakbeat track I can't stop listening to is 'TV On' by Calibre. It's very chilled out, with warm mellow male vocals over a repetitive beat, and a strangely desolate synth whine which is far more interesting than it should be.

I ripped this from the hospital records podcast so there's a DJ speaking over it at parts. still worth it though:

I'll finish with a breakbeat track I made today, after listening to Untrust Us by Crystal Castles alot. It's basically a drum and bass re-imagining of it which i think gives the track alot of energy it didn't previously have:
