29: Jori Hulkkonen ‎- I Am Dead (2010)

We visit Finland again. With 8 albums and more than 30 singles/EP released, Jori Hulkkonen is a prolific Finish musician focused on electronic music, moving between house, techno and synthpop. In I Am Dead he shows his interest in abstract, profound electro sounds, while keeping a slight trace of synthpop with the tender male vocals. A song with which it's easy to be lost in meditation.

30: Marsheaux - What Don't You Like (2007)

Back to Greece. I have to admit that I first knew this duo, formed by Marianthi Melitsi and Sophie Sarigiannidou, because of their covers of popular songs like Popcorn (Gershon Kingsley), Pure (Lightning Seeds) or The Promise (When in Rome). However, apart from their covers or from their collaborations with bands like OMD, they have shown that they can compose good songs in their four published albums. This track is a proof of that.

31: Car Crash Set - Outsider (1983)

 We travel again to Oceania, this far-away continent. In the mid eighties Car Crash Set was somehow considered the New Zealand's own version of New Order. An audacious statement. I will not dare to make such comparison, I think they are different (and New Order were, you know, so incomparable, legendary and influential by then). But it is also fair to admit the talent of this band, the original electronic sounds of this song, Outsider, working like impulses pleasantly drilling our ears. Reaching and caressing the right points of our brain, those which are sensitive to good music.

32: Cosmic Intent - Collective Illusions (2008)

Switzerland is our next stop. Steve Hug founded his first band in 1984, when he started to experiment with his first synthesizers. Since then he has been always in relation with electronic music, as a musician and also commercializing electronic musical devices. His last known project was Cosmic Intent, a synthpop duo (with his wife) that released tracks like this chosen one.

33: Acos CoolKAs - Free Flight (2009)

Rusia was the first country to put the first man in space. It's time to pay a tribute. It's time to fly...

34: Tying Tiffany - Lost Way (2010)

Time to go back to Italy. This riot girl from Padua has been creating wild electro clash songs since 2005, managing to share the stage with acclaimed bands like Stereo Total, Iggy Pop or Eels. Her dirty sounds and her punk attitude shows that Italy means not only italodisco. Enjoy the riot.
