Shy Fx: T Power - Dont Wanna Know: Enhanced
Jumpy and infectious drum and bass from the Shy FX team.
When Shy FX & T-Power's hit single 'Shake Ur Body' hit national charts at number 7 this Summer, it wasn't just the biggest drum & bass hit ever.
It was a significant moment for British urban music: the moment drum & bass found its way into the mainstream.
'Shake Ur Body' worked this magic because its booty-shaking rhythms were coupled with a contagious soul vocal from r & b singer Di.
It created a whole new style for drum & bass - one that, crucially, didn't leave its roots behind.
'Don't Wanna Know' is the next bombastic hit from the duo otherwise known as Andre Williams & Marc Royal. Like its predecessor 'Don't Wanna Know' simply leaps out of the speakers and demands you dance with it.
Once again featuring a killer vocal from Di, it confirms Shy FX & T-Power's innate knack of making coolly irrepressible party tunes.
A sure fire charter, and a nice soundtrack for bouncing on beds or inner-city driving.

Sugababes - Stronger/Angels With Dirty Faces: Enhanced
Smart, sassy and effortlessly sophisticated, both tracks find the girls breezing through another near faultless mix of r'n'b, pop AND dance that, at the moment anyway, finds them virtually untouchable.

Tenacious D - Wonderboy
One of the most irreverent acts around at the moment, this is a bright sparkle on the angelwings of ironic mock-rock...irrepressible grandiose lyrics interspered with acoustic and loud guitars as the wonder-team of Jack Black and Kyle Gass take humourous songwriting to the next level.
The funniest thing is: they are both top-notch comedians AND great songwriters. Check it out at your lesiure.

Christina Aguilera - Dirrty Enhanced
Riding back into the pop limelight in a hail of controversy, Christina Aguilera teams up with Redman and producer Rockwilder (Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes) on the sleazy hip-pop of sassy comeback single 'Dirrty'.
A kind of cross between Bad-era Michael Jackson, and Slave for you Britney - not superb, but a definite grower.

Ashanti - Happy: Enhanced
Off the back of last single 'Foolish' and her show-stopping appearance with Ja Rule ('Always On Time'), 'Happy' looks like the single to nail this singer's reputation as one of the r'n'b scene's most dazzling young talents.
