Herve Drops Hot! Drum Attack on Cheap Thrills

We love Easter week. It makes Tuesdays feel like Thursdays, everyone's getting sick on Cadbury's mini eggs and a massive four day weekend beckons. Just what the hell do we do?! Three day parties with a killer comedown after or some quality spring time with the girlfriend? Might just stay in and watch Chelsea put a few goals past Man U for the title race decider. Damn, we're spoiled for choice.

Think we'll just kick start the weekend right now with Herve's, 'Hot! Drum Attack', taken off his new single, 'Zombies', out on Cheap Thrills this April. And it is a floor filler. Thumping ravey synths and a groove that bites you hard on the arse, you won't be sitting down for weeks.

Burns Drops New EP 'So Many Nights' on 2112 Records


Burns is smokin' hot a the moment (no pun intended). The self proclaimed purveyor of European Sex Dance Music and all round party hipster, will be lounging it up in Miami next week rubbing shoulders with the scene's A list, playing records to hot Latino girls at various pool parties and generally getting shit faced for a whole fuckin week. No big deal.

The closest action we'll be getting is a Pizza Express takeaway and Lost on SKY 1 tonight. But fret not, Burn's has dropped a tasty little EP, 'So Many Nights' out on 2112 Records this Spring, full of zany French electro tinged melodies to get the party kickin' right in our living rooms.

Get it exclusively on Beatport now.

Check out the video of his recent US tour with Deadmau5.

Atari Teenage Riot Announce London Reunion Show & New Single 'Activate'

Sheeeeeeeiiiiiittttt!

This is massive. Haven't got this excited since Transformers hit the big screen back in 2007 and the movie was crap. But this folks, we assure you will not be fecal. Old school electro-hardcore veterans, Alec Empire, Nic Endo et al, have re-united for a special one off reunion show at London's Electric Ballroom on May 12.

Not since their riot inducing spectacle back in 2000 have these guys got together on stage. Having roped in new rioteer, MC CX Kidtronix, ATR will be dropping a brand new single, 'Activate' out this May on Digital Hardcore Recordings. Undeniably the defining zeitgeist of the era with their barbed apolitical discourse and punk rock attitude, the time for a big ass kick in the balls by ATR is a long time coming.

FENECH SOLER // STOP AND STARE // MODA MUSIC

 
We're back on the radar after slipping off the grid the past couple of weeks. A little soul searching was in order and what better way to do it than with the uber buzzy act of the moment, Fenech Soler. These guys definitely know how to kick it the whole nine yards. Glitter, masks, ravey electro synths - This screams 'hipster fest'. But in a good way.

Check out the Kitsune-esque video here.

GOLDEN BUG // THE GAME FLAMINGO EP // GOMMA

 
Weekly yoga classes at the office have certainly created a chilled out atmosphere among the various departments. Maybe it's just being upside down that gives you a whole new perception to things around you or it could be the rush of blood to your head. Anyways, feeling all this zen makes you want to party. Nothing like stretched limbs to give you that extra mileage on the dance floor.

We're definitely loving the new 6 track EP, 'The Game Flamingo' by Barcelona based Parisian electrofunkster, Golden Bug. Another quality retro-tinged release from the ever expanding Gomma stable. Check it out here.
