Fresh off a triumphant headlining party at WMC, Felix Da Housecat is set to return with a brand new batch of dance floor bangers on July 28 with the release of his new electronic opus He Was King. The aptly named lead single “Kickdrum”, which debuts the vocal talents of Nese Djouma, will slam into speakers April 14 on Beatport. The raw and bare track builds around a pounding 808 beat and a bitchslap snare that refuses to relent as Djourna chants “a big fat kickdrum make me wanna get some”. The track is already garnering early support from 2ManyDJs, A-Trak, Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, and multiple spins on BBC Radio 1 from Pete Tong.

After his 2nd album, remixes for Modeselektor, Cassius and Zombie Nation, Housemeister is back on bnr with his new ep “Beef Jerky".100% analog produced techno and breakcore - and as usual outside of any trend. “Who is That Boys", a pure housemeister style banger with a crazy beat programming, is garantied to rock the club. “Beef Jerky” is a dirty breakbeat-core trak and like pedro winter said if it was labelled as chemical brothers people would take it as great track back to the roots. “Rambo” is a tropical beat mix of baltimore, dubstep and techno, “Vakuum” gives you the deeper rephlex techno vibe and last but not least there is “Gehacktes", a cool beat tool for the anti rave night. this record proves that the magic and excitement of electronic music is based on the good old fashioned analog production. word.

Le nouveau single de The Gossip est en écoute, devinez où, sur LAFriendly ! Le NME can reveal le nom du futur album de The Gossip. Ça se name donc Music For Men, un titre drôlement cocasse quand on connaît la nature invertie du groupe, et ça sortira le 22 juin. Le single Heavy Cross précèdera le long format dès le 15 juin. C'est encore au NME que Beth Ditto a déclaré que ce quatrième essai avait capturé son côté romantique. "Il y a un bon paquet de chansons d'amour. En faisant le tracklisting, on s'est rendu compte qu'on avait environ sept chansons sur quatorze qui avaient le mot 'love' dans le titre. Je n'imaginais pas être aussi romantique". Music For Men a été produit par Rick Rubin à Malibu. Le 18 mai à la Boule Noire, histoire de présenter le futur album Music For Men.

When the hipsters of 2049 look back through the history books they’ll undoubtedly find two names bolded and underlined : Mark Hunter “The CobraSnake” and Todd Selby “TheSelby”, most likely in the chapter titled “The Great Online Photographical Entrepreneurs of the mid-late 00’s.” As both parties are equally responsible for the creation of two of the internet’s most infamous and most visited photography websites. Mark or as he’s known to most, The Cobra Snake, specializes in documenting the underground party culture of the world’s most vibrant cities such as Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, New York and Sydney. Mark has been known to shoot everything from music gigs and fashion shows to book launches and gallery openings (and everything in between). Todd’s photography on the other hand is quite the antithesis to Mark’s. Todd’s forte is shooting the homes of creative industry front runners in the fields of Music, Art, Literature, Design and Fashion. Alexander Wang, Erin Wasson, George Gorrow / Dan Single, André aka Monsieur A,. Yep, Todd’s shot them all. With The New York Times labeling Todd Selby as the modern day “Horst of the Hip Set” and Mark Hunter The Cobra Snake as the World’s #1 party starter. You know something incredible must’ve gone down when you find out that the pair joined their creative forces for their own joint gallery show at the Monster Children Gallery in Sydney.

Ce groupe, totalement dingo et à la culture parfaitement pop, au sens le plus noble et révolutionnaire du terme, existe. C’est Pony Pony Run Run, soit Gaëtan et Amaël et Antonin. Trois nantais, et un groupe formé lors de fructueuses études aux Beaux Arts. Ca n’a rien d’innocent : pour eux, la musique et la création se nourrissent de toute chose, sont une pratique totale. Les Beaux Arts. Soulignez le pluriel : Pony Pony Run Run est un groupe multiple. Intelligent, suffisamment brillant et ouvert pour ne pas se poser les mauvaises questions : aucune posture, aucune exclusive, pas de jugement de valeur. Ce qui est bon, un album, une chanson ou un bout de, est bon. Un point c’est tout. Et des tubes, des grandes chansons, leur premier album You Need Pony Pony Run Run qui verra le jour le 15 Juin en contient par poignées. Des petites bombes pour petits et grands, pour filles et garçons, des hits protéiformes, qui servent à la fois à se remuer les membres sur des dancefloors en fusion qu’à se secouer les neurones en cocoonant chez soi, qui enflamment tout aussi bien les sens dans la chaude sueur d’un concert qu’au calme dans son canapé. Coming Next du Grand Journal du 30/03 au 03/04.

Un an après l'acclamé Dear Science, les new yorkais TV On The Radio viennent de sortir un nouvel EP intitulé Read Silence (qui aurait déjà dû paraître en février). Soit une triplette de remixes non parue sur les singles issus de l'album précité. Trois petits morceaux mais un programme alléchant puisqu'on y entend Gang Gang Dance remettre à sa sauce la soul moderne et bouleversante de Stork & Owl, ou Shout Me Out revu et corrigé par les rappeurs de Willie Isz, étranges énergumènes qui mélangent musique celtique et rap. Le dernier titre, Red Dress remixé par The Glitch Mob, est en écoute sur la page myspace de ces derniers. En plus, TV On The Radio apparaîtra dans quelques festivals au mois de juillet, histoire de réhausser le niveau de ses dernières performances françaises.

Detachments' debut single ‘Fear No Fear’ was released in 2008 to wide acclaim and strong support from Optimo, Ivan Smagghe and Shackleton amongst other luminaries. It served as a excellent introduction to a band whose influences range from early Factory Records to classic Warp to DFA; a band who meld together the nuance and agit-emotion of post-punk with the dynamic of electronic music. Having been locked in the studio recording their new album with a little help from the Loving Hand of DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy alongside Andrew Weatherall and Trevor Jackson & the hotly tipped Salem, the fruit of this fine melting pot is the new single ‘The Flowers That Fell’, released on This Is Not An Exit Records on April 27th. Whilst ‘Fear No Fear’ dabbled heavily in a stranger soundscape, ‘Flowers That Fell’ has a more definitive pop-edge to it, but is no less interesting. An irresistable, chiming mid 80’s indie guitar melody, an ascending punchy Smiths-esque bassline locked in with DFA-esque drums - hi hats flickering by at velocity all combine to gorgeous effect. Parallels is Cameron Findlay (drummer in Crystal Castles) and Holly Dodson, who provides the backing vocals on this remix.

" Bully ", le single du quatuor parisien Fortune vient de sortir dans sa version définitive, armé d'une nouvelle production enfin digne de ce nom, due au "cinquième membre" du groupe, Pierrick Devin, déjà responsable de Adam Kesher, Alex Gopher, Cassius ou encore Cut Copy. Coté remix, le titre a été revisité d'une main de maître par DJ Sega, du crew Brick Bandits, nouveau protégé de Diplo tout récemment signé sur son label Mad Decent et " Mission "revu par M83 qu'on en présente plus ! " Celebrate ", titre inédit ouvre la perspective de l'album " Staring at The Ice Melt ".

C'est une nouvelle année, et même si vous êtes dans le rouge ou même si vous voyez rouge, Datarock a de bonnes nouvelles pour vous : leur 2nd album est enfin fini et c'est la meilleure nouvelle qui soit depuis l'invention du Commodore 64. La sortie ne sera pas avant le 08 Juin, mais d'ici là, voici un petit mot de Fredrik, la tête pensante du collectif norvégien : "Red", le nouvel album de Datarock est basé sur le bon vieux principe du vol artistique ("Les amateurs empruntent, les professionnels volent.."). Nous nous sommes de nouveau plongé dans le rock des 70's et du début des 80's : l'art, la musique, les films, la contre culture, l'idéal pop, les nouvelles théories, les nouvelles technologies et machines. Je pense sincèrement qu'il n'y a jamais eu de période culturellement plus prolifique dans l'histoire. Les années 76-83 sont de toutes les façons le pic de l'évolution culturelle. Le zénith, l'envolée et enfin la chute.

Last week we sent you 'Prom Night'*, a brand new and up-front track from Linus Loves. This week we have not one but two remixes from new talent Burns, signed to LL's new label 21:12. Following his acclaimed reworkings of Late of the Pier and Empire of the Sun, Burns takes 'Prom Night' and tears it apart, turning it into a snarling club monster - total carnage guaranteed. And - bonus alert! - we bring you his massive re-work of current UK No.1 'I'm Not Alone' by Calvin Harris, all high-pitched space bleeps and thumping bass.

Tracks from Buenos Aires french expat Douster have been around on everybody's hard disks and playlists for ever, but thanks to Sound Pellegrino and Dan Haaksman's Man Recordings it is now Douster's time. He is finally getting actual official releases. With “For Weirdos Only” and “Freak Mode”, Douster moves one step away from his early banging fidget works to venture into pure house territory, and the result is a wonky banjo joyride backed with a jacking burst of pure energic groove. Warm and cold, perfect for the early summer days when you can hang out in a tee shirt all day but still have to wear a jacket at night. We asked Das Glow from Institubes (Sound Pellegrino's proud "big brother label") to remix “For Weirdos Only” and in typical Das Glow fashion he named the first draft "Doustin Hoffman" and the second one "Doustin Timberlake". With his final file, he attached a picture of Mr. Potato Head dressed up as a Halloween ghost. On the virtual flip, Momma's Boy (Trouble and Bass alumni Mikix The Cat's housier alias) provides a slow-boiling party-starting version of "for weirdos" ideal for hula hoop training sessions that also works as an introduction to Momma's Boy's forthcoming EP on Sound Pellegrino.

Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard. As part of a plan to subdue the forces of evil with a batch of futuristic dancehall bangers, the three encamped at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica to record the Major Lazer record. The product of this collaboration is Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do, a collection of tracks that draws from the rich dancehall tradition of Jamaica, the futuristic dance-floor-killing aesthetic of Diplo and Switch, and contributions from some of the biggest names in dancehall today. The record runs global pop culture through the filter of Major Lazer's particular brand of 80's-inspired digital dancehall, at once an homage to a bygone era and a look to the future of dance music. Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do comes out on Downtown Records on June 16th, 2009.

Tracklist :
1. Hold The Line feat. Mr. Lex & Santigold
2. When You Hear The Bassline feat. Ms. Thing

Alan Braxe’s (Stardust fame) Vulture label presents the debut single from FENECH-SOLER, The Cult Of Romance released on 11th May. Fenech-Soler produce perfectly distilled post-millennial dancefloor pop. The A-side cut showcases the bands ear for an irresistible melody carried with thick synth sounds, ricochet guitars and economic beats. A chart and dancefloor hit-in-waiting, with its b-side Airbrushed an undoubted late night menace of drilled dystopian tech-pop. Fenech-Soler deliver a deftly accomplished production that confounds their bedroom studio origins. Their dexterous writing and musicianship resonates with the fine suburban pop of Pet Shop Boys, the sparkling live capabilities of Phoenix and Friendly Fires, and the dancefloor igniting electro breakdowns of Vitalic, Justice or The Presets.

♫ Fenech-Soler - Airbrushed

Elles ont l’air hardies, ces trois donzelles. Dans le genre fausse piste, Le Corps Mince De Françoise est un patronyme qui se pose là. Certes, les sœurs Emma and Mia Kemppainen, flanquées de leur copine Malin Nyqvist, réunies depuis 2007 à Helsinki, s’exprime parfois dans la langue de Molière. “Je suis la fille qui ne veut pas faire la fête”, répètent-elles d’ailleurs à l’envi sur leur hymne nihiliste Cool And Bored. Un nouveau leurre, pense-t-on très fort, tant leurs collages sonores dadaïstes, fondations d’une pop ébouriffante et décomplexée, sont autant d’hymnes conseillés pour enflammer vos jours et vos nuits. Comme si les Beastie Boys copulaient allègrement avec les filles de CSS, Le Corps Mince De Françoise s’offre intégralement au public averti.

Vigueur pop et feeling funk, tempo disco et synthés catchy, le nouveau et quatrième maxi de DatA affiche clairement la couleur. David Guillon (de son vrai nom) s'inspire ici du groove des seventies et des refrains séducteurs de la culture pop, qu'il modernise à l'aide d'une puissante production digitale. Faisant à nouveau appel, après le "Rapture EP", à la voix de tête du Canadien Sébastien Grainger, ancien chanteur et batteur de Death From Above 1979, ce maxi est à l'image de son premier album dont la sortie est annoncée au mois de mai prochain. Sur Skywriter, le français a en effet pleinement décidé d'assumer son orientation pop, réalisant, à l'image du Britannique Calvin Harris, le crossover entre glamour MTV et culture disco-funk, auxquels le jeune producteur apporte une orchestration ample et mélodieuse rappelant les envolées de Vangelis ou Moroder. Pour moi, précise David, "One In A Million" pourrait se situer quelque part entre Sister Sledge, Phoenix, et Outkast. Sortie le 28 Avril.

Après plus de 10 ans de carrière et divers projets tels que Buffalo Bunch, Syndicated People dont les maxis sont sortis sur des labels phares tels que Scratché, Crydamoure, Defected, Gigolo, Kitsune, Play Paul présente son nouveau projet électro-pop : Ryskee.

Le tout au service d'un refrain empoisonné, aussi infantilisant qu'addictif qui fait mouche dès la première écoute.

Bruce Stallion (formally Black Rabbit) is the new project from Brighton based DJ Floorclearer (Guy Appleton), known for his frantic amen breakcore and for being part of the notorious Wrong Music party crew. Under his new guise guy seeks to meld his love of ridiculous arse shaking bass, the spirit of 90’s hardcore, Amiga game music and hip-hop. Mixing up dubstep, heavy bass and the occasional bit of bassline cheese he aims to make music that pleases the dance floor and the headphone listener by gently tweaking the party centres of the brain. Influenced by the likes of Zomby, Rustie, Drop the Lime and AC Slater, but with a sound and mood of its own, a kinda cough syrup hazed equivalent of the Outrun theme with 90’s rave piano. And lots of bass.

Saying you feel like Leonard Cohen if he owned a jet ski doesn't exactly describe the sound of your music, so when it comes to Ciao!, the latest album from Tiga (who said such a thing perhaps in jest, perhaps not in a recent press letter), we're left to guess at what the Montreal based producer has in store for the follow-up to 2007's Sexor. Fortunately, the folks at Last Gang unleashed this track, and the witty, snare-heavy electro number should provide a decent clue. Or you could just dance to it.

Musical eccentric, superstar DJ, fashion icon and underground idol, Tiga comes back with full force as he releases his thrilling new single ‘Shoes’, through Different / Pias Recordings on April 20th 2009. ‘Shoes’ is the first single to be taken from his brand new album ‘Ciao’, the follow up to 2006’s hugely influential ‘Sexor’ album. Tiga says of ‘Shoes’ ‘I wrote it about my three favourite things in life: shoes, hair and gloves.’ ‘Shoes’ is a delicious piece of non-conformist and perfectly modern acid-pop. Destined to fill floors and catwalks all over the world, ‘Shoes’ is chic, unique and extremely freaky, laced with mellifluous synths and high couture handclaps, all wrapped up in chords that dream like Debussy. Featuring a mystery guest vocalist described by Tiga as a ‘very famous international superstar’ who only agreed to contribute if her anonymity was guaranteed…who’s that girl ? Currently DJ’ing across the world from Shanghai to Singapore via Buenos Aires and Berlin, Tiga will be returning to a place near you very soon. Co written with Gonzales and co produced by Soulwax ‘Shoes’ was recorded between Montreal, Sweden and Belgium and is a taster of new album ‘Ciao!’ which comes out on April 27th.

Rounding the Tigerbeat pets into a compilation enclosure, Kid606 presents the sound of Tigerbass Vol.1 packed with tracks from C.L.A.W.S, Luke's Anger, Com.A, dDamage, Sickboy, Dolby Anol and Kid606 himself. The Tigerbass oeuvre leaves the avant-mentallism and noisy 'tronica of Tigerbeat's heyday alone for a minute, instead concentrating on club rocking efforts like C.L.A.W.S electro booty-worker 'Canteloupe' with a riff uncannily like Bochum Welt's 'Radiopropulsive' and wicked Saunderson style chords to boot. Luke's Anger provides a metallic battytech smasher on 'Working Overtime', 606's 'Roppongi Sunrise' gets freaky with tht edits on a ghetto jacker house number, Com.A brings the noize on 'Kiss My Ass', and Bruce Stallion/Black Rabbit goes back to hardcore 1992 (albeit a very American 1992) on, err, '1992'. The highlight of the set comes from Genuine Guy on B-More rinser 'Bad People Get Laid' and Eats Tapes saturate the jack on '4 on the floor 2012'.

I have something extra dope from the NYC underground scene today. The WhateverWhatever duo comprised of NYC Remixer & club DJ vet Justin Strauss and the man behind the Carlton Bank$ records, Bryan Mette are perhaps the most precise and original remixers out there right now. The quality of their reworking and production is timeless and would work on the dancefloors of The Garage or Studio B. The WhateverWhatever sound is much like their name-an open ended tribute to quality dance music. After collaborating, for the first time, on a 2005 remix of Goldfrapp’s 'Ooh La La' , the pair have turned out remixes for both commercial artists, such as Beyoncé and Alanis Morissette, and more underground acts like Rong/DFA’s Wolfy and TommyBoy’s Plushgun.
