After the announcement a couple of weeks back that The Prodigy’s new LP ‘Invaders Must Die’ will be released at the beginning of March, the band have decided to give the fans what they crave with a free download of the album’s title track.
‘Invaders Must Die’ is available to download from the band’s website and will be up till December 3rd along with a new high def video.
In what seems like a strange move by the duo, Justice have admitted to using a bunch of uncleared samples on last year's † album.
During an interview with MTV, they confirmed that their debut full length is littered with samples of other people's work, including heavyweight artists such as Queen, 50 Cent and masked nu-metallers Slipknot. During a conversation regarding their production techniques, Justice's Xavier de Rosnay had the audacity to tell the interviewer, "Say we use the In Da Club hand clap — not even 50 Cent would notice." You might have thought that he would stop at this theoretical point, but then went on to explain that "if you listen to 'Genesis,' the first track (on †), there are samples of Slipknot, Queen and 50 Cent, but they are such short samples no one can recognize them. The ones from Slipknot, for example, are just tiny bits of the voice."
He then went on to say that they did actually license some of the samples that had a larger duration, but with the smaller ones just masked them so that they would be difficult to detect. "On the album, we used three big samples that we had to clear, and all the rest are just impossible to recognize," he continued. "We're using the very short samples to improve the sound, because we are just writing melodies on piano and then we are listing each note taken from other records, so we make a trade between those notes and the proper loops."...
Michael Jackson's legendary video ‘Thriller’ is reportedly to be made into a musical for Broadway.
The 14-minute video clip for the track, taken from the album of the same name, was directed by John Landis and made waves upon its release in 1983 due its length and cost, which at the time was $500,000.
The story centres on Jackson and his date, who are attacked by a mass of zombies after a night at the movies. According to the New York Post, James Nederlander will produce the Broadway production.
After shifting over a million copies a week for over a year, 'Thriller' became the worldwide best-selling album of all time, and was the first album to be Number One in the US and UK. It won seven Grammy Awards in 1984.
The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger is set to produce a film with director Martin Scorsese, according to reports.
The singer is looking into buying the rights to various biographies which the pair could turn into a film, claims The Sun, although the paper did not reveal further details about the project or the source of the information.
Jagger worked with Scorsese when the director made a documentary film about two of The Rolling Stones' 2006 'A Bigger Bang' tour shows.
The resulting movie, 'Shine A Light', was released earlier this year and featured guest turns from Jack White, Christina Aguilera and Buddy Guy.

And while I built my foundation as a champion of dance and electronic music, this is a great opportunity for me to grow, a challenge I will take very seriously.“ – Jason Bentley

House music maestro Danny Howells was recently in Australia for the first time in over two years, sweeping across the country for a series of intimate club shows to promote of his new mix out on Renaissance. But, before making it even halfway through the tour, Howells ignited a roaring debate on ‘warmup ethics’ – what exactly is appropriate conduct on the part of a warmup DJ who’s been charged with heating up the dancefloor for an international guest? It all went down at his first gig in Perth.
DJ/producer John Tejada will mix the next entry into Fabric's celebrated compilation series.
Fabric 44 will be a heavily edited mix from Tejada, who is renowned for his studio prowess. Says the DJ, "I did edit the tracks quite a bit…to take it one step above of what you might hear when a DJ plays out. I wanted the whole track selection to turn into one piece of music: a techno-classical piece that has movements and moods from start to finish, similar to a conductor with a classical piece of music." The symphony will contain a host of tunes from Tejada's own Palette label, as well as two tunes from Hardwax in and among the rest.
Pilot warns officials they'd run out of runway just before the crash.
The cockpit recording from the September aircrash involving Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM has been released.
In the recording, the plane's pilot can be heard warning air traffic controllers that his plane was "going off the end of the runway" just before the plane crashed, killing four of the six people on board.
Co-pilot James Bland was also heard asking for emergency vehicles to be summoned, reports the Associated Press. "Roll the equipment, we're going off the end," he said.
Controllers responded by directing other airplanes to steer clear of the site. "We've had an emergency, just fly straight ahead," a controller told another pilot, who responded, "We see it down there. It doesn't look good."
The crash occurred at the airport in Columbia, South Carolina on September 19 and killed both pilots and two close friends of the musicians when the plane crashed into a fence and burst into flames. Travis Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, suffered severe burns but are expected to recover fully and have already been preforming.
This Friday, November 21st, Traffic Events celebrates its 7 year anniversary at Cinespace in Hollywood, CA. Along with the sleek layout and character of the unique space, the event will be further accented by a custom Turbo Sound rig courtesy of WHUMP, and visual stimuli by MC THIS.
At the helm of this voyage is London-based DJ collective SOS (or SexOnSubstance), featuring Demi, Desyn Masiello and Omid 16B. As friends, producers, DJs, label owners – and model clubland citizens – Demi, Desyn and Omid are three of the most passionate talents working in electronic music today. Taking inspiration from their SexOnWax and Deeper Substance imprints to form SOS in 2004, they've built a first-rate reputation for quality music, inventive mixing and an infectious party spirit, whether it's on a boat along the Thames, deep inside Bedrock or Ministry of Sound, or glowing in the sun in Ibiza or Miami. Like Danny Krivit, François K and Joe Claussell's legendary Body & Soul connection before them, the chemistry between the members of SOS makes for a proper three-headed DJ monster.
Join us in the celebration!
