In which I invent a new word, Aoife and I talk about Azealia Banks (that’s her above drawn by 400 Facts), why Grimes reminds me of Opus III, why Chairlift are great, Twitter fights with Zomby, Icelandic intentions and pronunciations, a load of brilliant Irish electronica and some Shangaan electro.

Two years ago, I ran a series of guest posts from people involved in Irish music featuring their top 5 Irish acts at that moment. This time around, I thought I’d shift the focus to international and ask a similar question – “Who are your top 5 new artists of 2011?”. Musicians, bloggers, record shop owners, journalists, bookers and radio presenters will all be answering that question.

Gugai is the main man and promoter in Roisin Dubh in Galway and one of the best sources for new music in Ireland. He’s on the ball so to speak. Upcoming gigs in the Roisin include Strange Brew Christmas Party with Le Galaxie, Adultrock, Elaine Mai & It Was All A Little Bit Black & White and New Year’s Eve with ASIWYFA, Toby Kaar, Daithi and Sleep Thieves. In January, there’ll be a week of gigs Once Upon A Time In The West #2 – with Grandmaster Flash, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, Abandoman and more. Here are his top 5 new acts of 2011:

Nerd alert. The video for New Look’s ‘Nap On The Bow’ was made using a Xbox Kinect Camera and was directed by Tim & Joe (making of). The billowy, under your skin song is taken from the band’s self-titled debut. More on new Look here.

Canadian married couple New Look (Sarah Ruba and Adam Pavao) dropped this exceedingly superb cover of Janet Jackson’s ‘He Doesn’t Even Know That I’m Alive’ a few days ago. Original New Look tunes are on Soundcloud and below. I’m looking forward to hearing their K7! debut album. The Guardian’s New Band Of The Day has an intro on them.
