Some days ago, I was reading “20 Minutes” (a French free newspaper) in the subway when I discovered an article about the new album of N.E.R.D.: “Nothing”. One of the tracks that will be released on it, has been produced by the Daft Punk. The new single from N.E.R.D. “Hypnotize You”, produced by music legends Daft Punk, has leaked online just before the release of this album. Indeed, Pharrell Williams’ band first unleashed the collaboration when they played it on David Letterman’s chatshow some days ago. Now, a studio version has hit the net, featuring Daft Punk’s minimal dance production.

Skrillex is the man of the moment. With an undoubted current success on Beatport with 8 tracks in the top 10, he continues to break records with a genre that goes up: the dubstep. Thus, Beatport published a few days ago the following lines: "Beatport Hot off the press, it's true: just in time for this weekend's costume contests, Skrillex's 'Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites' EP holds a record 8 out of 10 chart positions on our overall Top 10, including #1 - the first time dubstep tracks have made it into the Top 10, and the first time a DJ or producer's entire release has completely stormed the chart”. Skrillex is the purpose of all superlatives.

As you probably know, in a few weeks will be released the highly anticipated movie « Tron », whose soundtrack was performed by Daft Punk. In the recent days, we learn more about this soundtrack. Indeed, it will be available for purchase the 6 of December and preorders have already been launched. This movie will be released in December in the U.S. and then unfortunately it will be on theater in February 2011 for France. To create the buzz around this launch, Walt Disney has released the first music clip from the film. It is "Derezzed", that we can consider as the new clip of Daft Punk!

I discover today a musical UFO that will buzz for sure in the upcoming hours. You’d probably know the U.S. series Dexter. This successful show is about a serial killer who works for the Criminal Division in Miami. The channel that broadcasts the show: Showtime, unveiled on Youtube one day ago, a track called "Does Dexter" directed by Pogo, an Australian artist that uses chords, sound effects and vocal samples from the first four seasons of Dexter… The result is a stunning musical experience as you will hear in the following article.

It's been a while since I gave you some news about Cassius. It was already more than one year ago, for the release of the EP « Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes ». A year later, the French duo returns with its new EP "The Rawkers EP”. The duo that consists of Philip Cerboneschi (Zdar) and Hubert Blanc-Francard (Boom Bass), had originally wanted to release this album on their own label Cassius Records, and at the end it will be released on Ed Banger Records. These tracks will come out first as a vinyl on October 4 and then on October 11 in a digital edition. The first extract of this album « I <3 U SO » is already available on Beatport for a few days.

On the occasion of the Electronic Dance Festival held in London on 27 and 28 August, the Canadian DJ and producer Tiga released for free his remix of "Shelter", produced by the London-based trio The XX. Tiga said about this track: "This remix is a love letter to British Romance, from the heart of a Canadian Revolutionary". Tiga, probably a little bit too strong in his words, delivers a poetic and emotional track. You can start the weekend smoothly with it, thanks to the clear voice put on production.

Today, Actualites Electroniques presents the work of an artist who has contacted us via the website.
