Recommends: David Wilson's Alternative Advent
Director David Wilson is responsible for some of our favourite videos, including clips for Metronomy, Little Boots and Skream. To celebrate Christmas this year he decided to make an 'Alternative Advent' - he's made 25 mini clips and soundtracked them with a fine selection of artists, including (so far) Caribou, Battles, Les Savy Fav, Little Boots and We Have Band.
This week he's also featured our very own Van She. It's a fun clip in its own right, it's also a taste of things to expect from the boys next year. There are still another 10 videos to come, with some other special artists on the list, so keep your eye on the calendar each day!

Van She Tech - the Boys Are Back + a New Single Surprise
From Queen to Wham!, Duran Duran to Ce Ce Peniston, Van She Tech have put together an amazing DJ set for this year's Splendour In The grass, full of all original dance music and bootleg bangers made in between writing their sophomore album.
While busy in the studio writing the rest of their second Van She full length, Nicky and Michael have informed us that they have made some special bootlegs which they will be giving away via Van She's Twitter page over the coming weeks. Word on the street is that VST will drop one of the singles from album number two during one of their Splendour sets - YES!
Download: Van She - (Don't Fear) The Reaper (Holy Ghost! Remix)
Not too long ago we prescribed you with Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper". But if that fever still persists then we highly recommend that it's about time for your second dosage, in the form of a Holy Ghost! remix of the very same track. As if the original wasn't enough, Holy Ghost! do what they do best and take team Van She's effort and make it their own.
Rumour of the day/week/month: James Murphy wouldn't let Holy Ghost! within an inch of the precious DFA cowbell, so he took a 'personal day and trekked to their studio in Paris to play it himself.

Download: Van She - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
We've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Van She. While the latest release from Bacardi's B-Live Bat Box doesn't feature any cowbell, Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is nothing short of banging. The Van She lads already did a killer job re-working Groove Armada's "Drop The Tough" earlier this year for B-Live, so when they wanted to take on the Reaper - who could honestly stop them?
