The glorious Bank Holiday Weekend has put us in a very good mood indeed. Long, lazy days and hopefully plentiful sunshine spoilt us... and we had the perfect soundtrack to our beautiful break.

As always, we've put together a selection of the finest artists we've been checking out on Emerging Icons this week. There's five tunes for you to have a listen to and if you like what you hear, you can get them put on a personal playlist for you to access whenever you like.

We've got a bit of the alternative, some industrial folk, gypsy jazz, pop rock, reggae... hey, we do like to mix things up a bit.

Australian electro pop duo Parachute Youth have been dominating club land and DJ playlists in Europe with their dance floor hit 'Cant Get Better Than This' since early last year. Having recently touched down in the UK the 2-man group have a fresh new remix which I've been able to premier exclusively on the Huffington Post!

The music video is alive and kicking. There are few art forms that can reach that many people that quickly, and while MTV may no longer be broadcasting wall-to-wall music videos, YouTube has taken its place. The combination of a good track combined with great visuals seems to resonate globally, and the great thing about YouTube is that it's totally democratic.

This week we've got some electronic genius, a few old faces in new guises, some quirky folk and the latest contender to take the pop kingdom by storm. Sound good? You wait til you hear the tunes...

The Hertfordshire residing folk singer/songwriter creates a visually arresting, picturesque but almost eerie music video.

This week we've got a bunch of artists to share with you that have all made quite an impact in quite different ways during their careers to date. You may recognise one or two of them, or perhaps their name will ring a bell somewhere in your head.

Over at Emerging Icons we have a ridiculous amount of new talent just waiting to be discovered, so every week we like to throw a few tunes in your direction to help you along your way.

Ben Westbeech's Something for the Weekend is one of the most irritating of the videos, in my opinion. Not only does it objectify women, but it also plays with typical porn-style lesbian fantasies.
