For the last five years the NME Radar tour has been your one-stop shop for catching the most promising and exciting bands of the year. Since 2005 we've introduced you to some astonishingly good bands, even if we do say it ourselves. From Maximo Park to Crystal Castles, The Cribs and Friendly Fires, the Radar tour has been the launchpad to great things, and this year's lot look to be no exception.
The sounds of 2009 are brought to you by Samsung, who know a thing or two about great music. Take their new Beat Edition handsets, two revolutionary new devices set to redefine your concept of phone music. Forget that tinny racket you get from you average bus-bothering brick, this generation are powered by audio grand masters Bang & Olufsen. The famed hi-fi manufacturers bring their legendary ICEpower technology to Samsung's latest phones. If, like us, you've spent hours staring dreamily through shop windows at high performance Bang & Olufsen home stereos, you'll know quite how good they sound.
The first Samsung Beat Edition models - the BEAT DJ and BEAT Disc handsets - offer not only unrivalled sound quality but a host of new features too. You can personalise playlists, mix tunes and even scratch the sounds. It's like having a high-end separates system and Fabric's DJ booth all in one sleek gadget.
So whether you're into La Roux, Chapman Family, Heartbreak, Magistrates or all four, there's only one player out there worthy of their MP3 love.
