Stromae - Alors On Danse

This has been out for awhile but just went huge in the UK. French hip-hop/downtempo.

More interesting is the Kanye West mash up remix of this track which puts this even farther over the edge. Check it out

Warpaint - Stars

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-G6Lrqr_iM

Warpaint are a four-piece band from Los Angeles. I was blown away by their live set on Tuesday night when they opened for The xx. Definitely worth seeing on stage if you get a chance, they are very talented.
