If you managed to catch last weekend's Dance Show you'll no doubt have heard me positively gushing about a new Belfast/Berlin band that are already tipped for big things, not just by ATL but also The Times, who recently who tipped them as 'Ones To Watch' for 2009.

Moon Unit are local girl Rosalind Blair and Berlin resident Paul Mogg who is a former member of Mo' Wax heads The Psychonauts. They've already featured on DFA's Death From Above compilation and have singles forthcoming on Berlin's Supersoul Recordings alongside a remix from a certain Ewan Pearson which recently featured on Aeroplane's Mixmag covermount mix CD. The new single 'Hot Chocolate Boy' is a glorious slice of authentic electro-pop which comes across like Debbie Harry getting it on with Gary Numan with a little bit of Alison Goldfrapp thrown in for good measure too. It is quite simply one of the best records we've heard this year.

Moon Unit have roped in Hot Chip's tour drummer for their live shows which will this summer take them on a tour of Russia with dates in Paris, Berlin, London and Neuchatel also lined-up. The next big thing? I'd happily wager a few quid on it. Check out Saturday's show on the iPlayer for a little taster.
