A few days ago the French duo Daft Punk gave an exclusive interview to the British magazine Dazed & Confused. The originality of this interview is that the pictures that go with the article have been published in 3D. Just one month before the launch of "Tron legacy" in the U.S., for which they have composed the soundtrack, Daft Punk create once again the buzz around them with a unique photo shoot, directed by Sharif Hamza in Los Angeles. The article consists of 8 shots and has been sold with 3D glasses. We’ve also heard some whispers about a Daft Punk’s world tour...

Martin Eyerer is not just a musician, he is a real artist.  Ambition, creativity and perfectionism are his chief characteristics.  More than 20 years of experience and well over a hundred releases or remixes, as well as DJ gigs on every continent on earth – this a track record that speaks for itself. By any measure, this Stuttgart-born artist values his personal taste more than anything else, and very rarely has this taste deceived him: you may trust him on it! After a first acclaimed album in 2008 “Word Of Mouth“,  he released in October his second opus “Tiny Little Widgets” in a techno atmosphere sometimes mixed with birds tweets !

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.

Some days ago, two upfront producers from Greece, GummiHz and Nikola Gala have release their new EP “Sapfo EP” on the German young label Claap. Indeed, on its first installment, claap001 features a collaboration between two of Greece's finest exports in house and techno: label owner GummiHz and Nikola Gala offer a 3 tracker that’s bound to make floors shake. Three wonderful and mature tracks including elements spanning from jazz to ethnic to a total mind trip! That’s exactly what we like at Actualites Electroniques to relax.

«Open your eyes», not ears to hear what there is to see - just one of the many paradoxes Mainz-based Butch manages to merge with verve. Indeed, the German producer Butch will release on November 17th his new album «Open Your Eyes». Received as a promo, this album captures the duality of his sounds that oscillate between under and over, techno and house, spirituality and marketability, club and home stereo, to celebrate the everyday high and question it at the same time. The man we discovered with his first track «On the line» in 2007, has not finished to surprise us.

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.

Akin to the concept of the 8th anniversary compilation, one of the best labels from Germany, Get Physical, is proud to present the DJ T’s Best of Selection Part 1, a retrospective of some of the musical gems Dj T. has brought to the masses over the past 8 years of Get Physical Music. Indeed, the label from Berlin sends us as a promo this new compilation so that’s why we review it here. It is currently available on Beatport, will be released on other digital platforms around mid-November and mixes the best tracks produced by DJ T.. Just to let you know, I will publish soon an exclusive interview with DJ T.. Stay tuned!
