California duo, Rubies, combine the sweet melodies of Fiest and Kings of Convenience with disco beats and a subtle funk undercurrent. All of which is reflected on their debut album, Explode From The Center, which has been described as ‘bedroom disco meets danceable folk’. Indeed. These are the songs that inspired that recording.

This is from a relatively new band from Sweden. The first time I heard it, I stood up and started dancing. I love how it’s just vocals and percussion — there is so much energy in this track, it sounds like it’s coming from people that are on the verge of exploding. I want more bands to have this energy. It’s like these guys have never listened to music before and created their own genre. I love them.
