Daft Punk Vs. Quorra on the game grid!

So, this is the official music video for Daft Punk’s ‘Derezzed’ from their Tron: Legacy soundtrack.

And I love it, it’s quite a nice little prequel to the movie, the style and graphics being part original Tron and part Tron: Legacy, It’s obviously set inbetween movies. The plot seems to feature Olivia Wilde’s character, Quorra, while she was still a player on the game grid.

If you’re going to make a movie tie-in video having both a nice little tie in plot and loads of homagé to the original Tron is a good way to go.

Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December, not long now! Who gonna’ be there opening day?

Audionite’s ‘Don’t Make Me!’ EP

Here’s something to shake off the midweek cobwebs, some dirty Electro-House courtesy of the bros at On The Fruit Records.

Their latest offering is a new EP by Berlin based producer Audionite, ‘Don’t Make Me!’. The title track alone is a hypnotic slice of deep and heavy Electro that completely controls you. There’s a touch of 90’s techno, even a touch of the Industrial about it, as it forces all kinds of chaotic noise to conform to a funky Electro-House jam. ‘Kosmonauta’ lives up to it’s name with more of a spacey, cosmic vibe. A floating electronic respite from the in your face sounds of the rest of the EP.

Audionite’s ‘Don’t Make Me!’ EP is out 13th December.

Nero – ‘Me And You’, the video

I’m absolutely loving Nero’s latest Dubstep offering ‘Me And You’!

The track, championed by Annie Mac, is like an 80’s action movie theme, Dubstep style! With extra helpings of video game goodness, the video is perfectly fitting too.

Nero drop ‘Me And You’ on 3rd January.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ ‘Household Goods’ video

Here is the new video from T.E.E.D., also known as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. It’s the title track from his ‘Household Goods’ EP.

The introverted, bleepy ElectroPop track with the chorus that is killing the Radio right now get a slick video with loads of early 90’s design elements and, er, silver foil hats. It’s a really cool song though that totally grows on you.

The ‘Household Goods’ EP is out now.

I.R.O.K.

This fell into the electronic rumors Inbox, from who knows where, alongside a cryptic email that..well, read for yourself: “”life forms, remove the shackles of the bondage that they keep you in: GET FREE. This is your time to wake up from the heavy heavy sedation” The Arganoids are coming. No, they are already here. Eat. Work. Drink. Fuck. Sleep. GET FREE. IROK is the parallel. IROK is your escape. IROK is the Republic where we will meet in sweat, blood and joy.”.

So, I know nothing about the guys who make this track, I.R.O.K., and I’m not sure I want to ask, but the song’s very cool. It’s a real grower.

Titled ‘Oo Aa Oo’ (you’ll see why when you listen), it’s a weird mash up of ElectroPop styles that shouldn’t really work in one song, but really does. Starting off with a real 90’s Pop vibe, it quickly displays moments of 80’s SynthPop genius (including a wicked sax solo!) and throws you around between the Balearic and the Cosmic before the big 80’s soundtrack finale. It’s almost exhausting (in a good way)and shows a real confidence of songwriting and a lot of studio fun.

It’s an interesting début that defiantly earns I.R.O.K. the position of a band to keep an eye on.

Frankmusik’s ‘The Fear Inside’ video

Frankmusik premiered the video for his forthcoming new single ‘The Fear Inside’ today. It’s a grainy, black & white, affair that sees Vincent Frank heading, well, somewhere, hot chick in tow. The silhouette shots in front the giant warehouse window are well 80’s!

Still lovin’ the sounds in this track!

‘The Fear Inside’ and Frankmusik’s new album, ‘Do It In The AM’ are due for release in 2011.

Tron: Legacy projection mapping performance to Daft Punk’s soundtrack

Projection Mapping is an awesome looking technique where images are projected onto a the flat surface of a building to make it appear 3D stuff is happening.

This technique has been put to it’s full use in a 9 minute Tron: Legacy show on the side of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London set to Daft Punk’s stunning soundtrack.

Give it a watch!

The performance was created using 6x18k projectors with audio from an 8k D&B sound rig.

Tron: Legacy hit cinemas 17th December, seems like so long to wait! Daft Punk’s soundtrack is released tomorrow!

Yuksek reMixes Fenech-Soler

This weekend Annie Mac premiered one of the reMixes featuring on Fenech-Soler’s forthcoming single, ‘Demons’ on her show.

A reMix by none other than Yuksek, a man from whom we hear far to little. This new Yuksek production is just as badass as we remember him and takes an already incredible song and turns it into a deep Electro Disco epic.

Can’t wait for this to be released!
