Mr. Tellier tempts us again with another teaser. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this one. Thank you to A-Trak for the heads up.

After a bit of a drought, there have been a slew of fantastic new tunes hitting our inbox in the past few weeks! Calvin Harris has a new full length coming our way soon. The first single ‘I’m Not Alone’ is getting massive support on Radio 1. Deservedly so. This is a bit of a departure from his previous production work but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are predicting this one will be one of the biggest singles of 2009. Forthcoming release will include remixes by Deadmau5 and Hervé. There are a number of blogs that have posted a version of this tune but its not the final mix. Check it out though and take a look at the video below to get a feel for how big this is going to be.

Via Billboard:

Daft Punk, the French electronica duo known for their robot personas, have been tapped by Walt Disney Pictures to compose the score for “TR2N”, an update of the studio’s 1982 science fiction classic “Tron”, Billboard has confirmed.

The musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter split their time between Paris and Los Angeles, where they have have assembled a new recording studio for the TR2N project.

Sneak peek from Comic Con of the first trailer for the film. This is going to be big!

Big tune alert! Michel Cleis’s ‘La Mezcla’ is due to be released on Cadenza Records. This Latin tinged festival track is being canned by a handful of big room DJs and Pete Tong recently tagged it as one of his Essential New Tunes on his Essential Selection show.

Here is video of Lazaro Casanova dropping this at a recent gig:

Here’s the video for the first single to be taken from Röyksopp’s new full length. ‘Happy Up Here’ will be released March 16th with remixes from Boys Noize, Breakbot, and Datassette.

Pure decadence. Sebastien Tellier. Goes down smooth every time.

DJ Die’s records played a big role in our love for drum & bass. The fact that he grew up on a skateboard and to this day laces up the trainers and jumps on a deck makes it even harder to find a reason not to like the guy. Here is an interview to give you a bit of background should you not be familiar with his work.

After producing a slew of the legendary V Recordings best releases and winning a Mercury Music Prize with Roni Size and the Reprazent crew he started his own label CLEAR SKYZ RECORDINGS. Fellow drum & bass dons Commix did a nice rub of one of our favorite Die tunes called ‘Autumn’ from the V Recordings days.

Thanks to our friends at Discobelle for the heads up on this one. Such a big tune and you can see by the crowd reaction across the globe its one that everyone can get into. Must be an amazing feeling to play to crowds that size.
