DAFT PUNK DEREZZED VIDEO

Much gossip proceeded when it was announced that seemingly god like producers Daft Punk would be making the soundtrack to the new Tron Legacy remake. Here we catch the video to one of the songs, 'Derezzed' and some clips of the film itself. Both look and sound smashing. I wonder what the odds are for a 2011 tour..hmmmm...

SINGLE OF THE WEEK - DJ MEHDI/ZOMBIE NATION

With Halloween fast approaching it seems fitting that Zombie Nation would take this latest single of the week. Albeit a gnarly track itself, what really catches the eye (or ear) is Dj Mehdis super cool remix. Typically deep Zombie Nation style drums and, most notably a fantastic, stabby chord line turn this original into a real club badboy. Out now on Beatport/November 8th everywhere else on UKW records.

PT says 9/10.

CLOUDS PREVIEW/BLOOD MUSIC

Ook ok ok so I'm a month late on this. Big deal. I recently found out that none other than Fake Blood was going to baa like a sheep and join the crowd of producers who are now starting their own record imprints. And while it's nice to know there are now a billion and one labels, it wasn't until I found out it was Scottish newbies, Clouds, who have released Blood Music Records 001 in the form of their debut EP, Liquid, that things started to take an upward turn. See, whereas many minor musicians recently have decided to take the plunge into labels, Fake Blood is far from a minor musician. And it shows. The first two tracks on BMR do sound suspiciously similar to the label head, but fuck me who cares, they're bangers.


Big Sounds! PT says 9/10

SINGLE OF THE WEEK - DIRTYPHONICS

Normally I would say that this sort of pretty standard hard Dubstep wasn't really my thing. But after hearing that Soulwax style rave sound  I'm in love with this Dirtyphonics remix of The Bloody Beetroots. Despite releasing the original (with Steve Aoki) on Dim Mak donkeys years ago the new release also comes with a Dj Oder 'Drum and Bass remix', it's shit. Download the Dirtyphonics remix below.
