A big thank you to the good folks at SoundCloud for providing us with a dropbox for artist/label submissions. You will see it just to the right, at the top of the sidebar. This is a new (more convenient) way for you to submit music to us for review. Keep the music coming!! Cheers.
This is how it works:
The folks at JazzMutant received some priceless advertising when Daft Punk joined Kanye West during the 50th Grammy Awards to perform “Stronger.” They appeared on stage in their pyramid with four Lemurs. Seems that Justice have also incorporated the Lemur’s into their live show. The backbone of their setup consists of three synchronized Lemurs plugged into Ableton Live.
The Canadian duo formerly known as VNDLSM are now going by the name of AutoErotique. With this change, comes some eagerly awaited new material. “Gladiator” should give you a good idea of what they are about. Looking forward to catching these guys on tour sometime soon. Give the tune a listen and let us know what you think.
As previously reported. The Justice tour documentary “A Cross the Universe” is set to be released on November 24th (with live CD) through Because Music. Its along the same vein as Soulwax’s recent “Part of the Weekend Never Dies” film. Lots of performance footage and behind the scenes goodness. Shot by director friends Romain Gavras (directed video for “Stress“) and So-Me over three weeks of their second US tour. Very much looking forward to this. Promo tour with the rest of the Ed Banger crew begins in a couple of weeks. Details above. Go check them out when they roll through your town. Thank you to Fubiz for the new clip!
Van She Tech, Playgroup (Trevor Jackson), and Classix booked for the upcoming installment of the Scion House Party series in LA. Free with RSVP but still highly recommend you get there early to get in.

We are very excited about the notion that some new Basement Jaxx material is on its way later this year. They continue to evolve and take dance music to new and exotic places with each subsequent album. In the meantime, the Jaxx have recently released the “Planet 2″ EP on their Atlantix Jaxx label. This is a special pink vinyl only release that hit the shops on September 12th. The “Planet 1″ EP was released back in August on yellow vinyl. No word yet on a digital versions of each. Will keep you posted.
In celebration of the new EP we present you with one of our favorite remixes of 1999’s “Red Alert” by Steve Gurley. This one will bring you back to the glory days of the 2-Step movement in the UK. Good stuff.

We wish Travis Barker and DJ AM speedy recoveries. This video is a small glimpse into how talented both of these artists really are.
Australia’s NEVEREVERLAND music festival is coming back in December to celebrate Modular’s 10th birthday. Last year, Daft Punk was a headliner as part of their first Australian tour. Some amazing behind the scenes footage of their performance amongst others has been compiled to promote this years festival. Lineup to be announced soon. Good stuff.
Here is some footage and an interview with the Soulwax boys from their recent “The MySpace Secret Show” that we recently promoted. Looks like it was another epic performance!
