Daft Punk - leaked tracks from 2012 album 'Sky Dive'


Now I don't usually get overly excited about rumours or 'leaks' like this as I have been made to look silly before, once when I was 6 my friend asked me what the capital of Thailand was and as I eagerly demonstrated my vast knowledge of the world before I could get the full name out I was gasping for air with a sharp shooting pain from my testicles all the way up my kidneys. 

I learnt two things that day, don't be too keen to flaunt to everybody wisdom that you believe they wouldn't know as you my look foolish and also getting in the balls really really hurts. I vowed to have neither of these to happen to me again. 

However when possible frivolous Daft Punk rumours come out, I get all light-headed and almost immediately believe that they are the gospel no matter how nonsensical they may appear.

This latest and dare I say it more credible one, was sent to thedaftclub, and went along the lines of this:

'Hey guys and girls <3
My name’s Emma, ​​I’m 19 and i live in London UK!
My dad works at Virgin Records in the UK and has access to the servers on Their Computers. He Came home Friday night with a USB stick, i use it from time to time for my files for Uni. I Had to put some photos from my computer to my dads so i used His USB on Sunday. When I know i did, i found something interesting...
I found a file on the USB titled ‘Daft Punk – Sky Dive (2012) (Previews Promo)'
This along with the leaked promos of the never heard before tracks leaves quite a compelling argument in her favour:
Daft Punk - LCD (LED) *Sky Dive Leaked Tracks* by GlobalDanceElectronic
Daft Punk - Taking Control *Sky Dive Leaked Tracks* by GlobalDanceElectronic
Daft Punk - Waiting Line (Feat. Mr Oizo *Sky Dive Leaked Tracks* by GlobalDanceElectronic

To add to the speculation, on November 11th, 2011 the logo of the official Facebook page, Myspace page and official website of Daft Punk changed to a red theme. Daft Punk’s logo has changed for every new album or tour: red-orange (Homework), chrome (Discovery), black (Human After All), blue (Alive 2007).

Maybe everyone is getting too excited about it so for now, just enjoy the previews because if they are or if they aren';t Daft punk they are pretty damn good.

Riva Starr & Fatboy Slim (feat. Beardyman) - Get Naked (Dub Mix)


We might be a little behind with this but it was only released on Beatport two days ago, so we are sort of topical still. 
London Based, Stefano Miele Riva Starr has teamed up with the tour de force that is Norman Cook and beatboxer Beardyman to produce this excellent destined for the clubs track.

I've found this to be the best remix of it so far, with it's pastiches to classic club tracks that have gone before it, a rasping drum beat, plinky electro sounds and a menacing bass line. It all goes together quite perfectly and makes me quite nostalgic.  


Other Remixes after the break....

Benji Boko - One Day, One Sound, One Cloud feat.Yoko Ono.


I am absolutely loving Benji Boko at the moment, not only do we have him on tonight's radio show but his obvious love for what he does is infectious. See his promo video after the jump and I defy anyone who doesn't get a little bit tingly watching it!

This latest track that came out on the 14th November, Benji claimed it was one of the best days he had ever had in the studio, he had been sent sounds from all over the world by people and he made them into this solid piece of music.

Don't forget to vote for benji in Dj Shadow's Scale it Back Competition of a remix of a Little Dragon track, you can do it here, http://remix.djshadow.com/tracks/86 , closes on the 25th November.

Treasure Fingers - Take My Hand


This reminds me of house music from my youth, being in a sweaty club dressed to the nines whilst thumping subs with looped funk infused beats pounded through the airwaves. Good times had by all, and Defected records know a talented producer/DJ when they hear one.

That is why they snapped up the Brooklyn based, Ashley Scott Jones as soon as they could. This new track is just as special as his others which I have added after the jump.

This track was released today and I expect more from him in 2012, as he is already a grandesque figure on the club music scene with remixes of Chromeo, Alex Metric, Empire of the Sun, Miike Snow and  Tensnake all under his belt.
