Finally, after a long period of time, Boys Noize has released a preview of this latest remix of Late of the Pier. You can locate it on his myspace.

Busy P, manager of Ed Banger Records, has recently released two tracks, which have been on his new EP, Pedrophilia. He has a new track called Pedrophilia, which consists of heavy beats and dark riffs. His most popular track, To Protect and Entertain, is a hip-hop/electronic song Busy P produced, with vocals by Murs. He also samples the “old” Pedrophilia instrumental track.

Combining those two songs, I made a little remix/mash-up, which I like to call “Pedrophobia”. So you have the dark riffs and heavy beats, along with the instrumental version of To Protect and Entertain. Enjoy!

If legend is to be believed, Kavinsky is the world’s best-known zombie DJ and musician. Others will tell you he’s the alias of Vincent Belorgey, protege of French beatmaster Mr. Oizo, friend and tourmate of Daft Punk and the Ed Banger crew. Whichever story you choose to believe, Kavinsky’s new EP for Fool’s Gold — his first domestic release — is a total no-brainer.

Updating vintage Moroder and Miami Vice sounds with a French touch, Blazer features three of the possibly undead producer’s finest cuts from his import releases — “Testarossa Autodrive(1),” “Dead Cruiser(2),” “Grand Canyon(3)” — and seals the deal with the exclusive unreleased gem “1986(4).” The whole thing is wrapped up in a spiffy Ferarri tire pic disc designed by (who else?) Dust La Rock, and is strictly limited to 1,000 copies.

When most think of Daft Punk’s original discography, only their three major studio albums come to mind. In 2006, they released Musique Vol. 1, which featured tracks never before released on their studio albums. Many of the tracks on this compilation capture the true essence of original Daft Punk tracks, and are quite representative of their musical tastes circa Homework album.

The tracks:

Originally released on the Chemical Bros’ Life is Sweet 12″ back in 1995, Daft Punk contributed their own remix of the title track to the record. This track has not been released on any Daft Punk official discography, and was omitted from the Musique Vol. 1 compilation.

British soul singer Gabrielle had her own track Forget About the World remixed by the parisian duo back in 1996. Interestingly enough, a sample of this remix was most recently used in the Alive 2007 live set (track 10) as a lead-up to Prime Time of your Life. Here is the original:

In the late 1990s, German house/techno DJ Ian Pooley and Daft Punk took turns remixing each-others’ tracks. In 1998, Rock the Discoteque EP featured a Daft Punk remix of the Ian Pooley’s track Chord Memory. The track begins with the WDPK-esque voice introduction to the track, funky basslines, and house beats.

Feadz, part of Ed Banger Records, has released a new single called “Cool as Feadz”. The track samples the song “Cold as Ice”, originally by Foreigner. By adding a nice heavy beat to it, he turns the old track into a new dance song.
