7.  Skies ("Shadows") - Metro Decay

An early '80s classic single of the Greek new wave scene. It still sounds great today and it was recently re-released from Eirkti Music

8.  Slow - Twin Shadow

A brand new track from 4AD's latest signing Twin Shadow which sounds perfectly at home next to the early '80s new wave sound of Metro Decay. Download it for free here. The debut album "Forget" was released this week.

From the 2010 album "Gemini", a treat for fans of '80s indiepop with a psychedelic '60s twist.

Warpaint are becoming a regular fixture in our playlists. Debut full-length "The Fool" is out next week - expect heavy rotation!

11. Long Shadow - Effi Briest

Experimental psychedelic sounds and tribal rhythms from the album "Rhizomes" - the playlist comes full-circle and returns to the starting trancey mood set by Gang Gang Dance and Pit Er Pat.
