Our very own Swedish vixen has gotten herself a Grammy nom for her self-titled smasher, in the category for "Best Electronic/Dance Album. The blonde bomb has exploded all over the world, with tracks like the #1 UK single "With Every Heartbeat" alongside the fiery and fierce "Konichiwa Bitches", Robyn has slapped the world upside the head with this absolutely bitching album. Good luck at The Grammy's.

The Presets Kick Kaboose

The duo's trophy room is looking pretty chocka these days, they've raked up an impressive bag of awards this year already and Friday night it was capped off in the most exemplary fashion imaginable with their winning of the 2008 J Award for Album Of The Year for the unstoppable second album, Apocalypso. The J Award is for an album of outstanding achievement as an Australian musical work of art - for its creativity, innovation, musicianship and contribution to Australian music, as judged by a panel at Triple J, Australia's nation-wide youth network. The Presets join the list of legends alongside previous winners Wolfmother, Blue King Brown and The Panics.

Cut Copy - "Far Away" EP

Having delivered us party anthems "Lights & Music" and "Hearts On Fire", Aussie electro dreamboats Cut Copy show us their softer side with new single, "Far Away". Dan Whitford's heavenly voice will surely hit the heart, a song of prose to make any girl (or boy) weak from the waist down. From the cool calm and collected verse of synth driven disco, to the build up into fast paced, beatastic chorus, the track takes many a turn. A turning of the other cheek, a moody stripped back break down revelaing Cutter's sensitive side. A top notch number, from a top notch bunch of boys.

#22: Chris Devlin

DOWNLOAD (71min / 65mb)

One of the Spank Rock DJs, Chris Devlin pulled into Modular HQ last Friday to record a Modcast. Needless to say we all knocked off early and cracked a few coldies whilst Chris spun our heads off with a few good tunes from his stash. This one has got it all, a tightly packed tin of totally blitzing party bangers and stupidly sideways psych, with a few tropicana style sizzlers thrown in for good measure, it was a perfect way to wind down the work week and gear up for Friday night. All the way from Philly in the US of A, Spank Rock are the absolute bees knees when it comes to hip-hop and all round jams, we were psyched to have Chris in the office.

#21: Tim Sweeney

Tim Sweeney (the brain behind Beats In Space) dropped by recently to lay down some of his favourite jams from the outter edges of the universe for the latest Modcast. A smooth affair you would come to expect from the prolific New Yorker, Sweeney's delicious serving of funk, disco and all things chilled is the perfect accompaniment to the long hot summer ahead of you.
