One of the strongest weapons in Toolroom's WMC arsenal will be Mark Knight's Bullets EP Volume 2, due for release in 19th March.
The first track Alright will surely top the Beatport charts, since it closely resembles classic chart toppers like The Bucketheads - The Bomb and Red Carpet - Alright.
For those of you that can't wait, here is a preview off his podcast!
"Listen to this city, contaminated by shitty music... it's time to strike back."
The other day I watched a Swedish film called Sound of Noise. It was absolutely phenomenal. 5-stars. Probably my new all-time favourite movie. I don't know why I missed it when it came out (probably because it's Swedish), but it's won a Cannes award and I highly, highly recommend it to anyone interested in musique concrète style stuff, percussion, drumming, sampling, electronic music...just, music in general.
While the soundtrack is obviously the highlight, the movie also has an engaging and very amusing plot involving a tone-deaf policeman born to a family of prestigious musicians and a "terrorist" group composed of castaway, frustrated drummers who's talents are under-appreciated by bourgeois music. They compose a 4-part concerto that will take place in various locations around the city, using objects such as stamps, bulldozers, oxygen tanks, human bodies, calculators, saws and much more to create their beats. It's basically like Stomp but illegal and wonderful. The policeman absolutely detests music of any kind but is placed in charge of putting an end to this sonic takeover of the city.
The 4 pieces performed by the group are:
1. Doctor Doctor Gimme Gas In My Ass
2. Money 4 U Honey
3. Fuck The Music Kill! Kill!
4. Electric Love
Trailer:
There is also a short film that was the initial project before the full-length film:
Watch this film when you get the chance, but make sure you have good sound! I would really like to watch it in the theater with proper surround sound sometime. Also, I think I glimpsed a sound wave pattern on the policeman's sideburns!?!?
UPDATE:
Get the soundtrack HERE.
All the tracks are amazing, and this is my favourite:
New release by Martin on Diynamic, with heavy support from label boss Solomun. Not sure why but the title track Window Shopping really makes me want to go to a crêperie. Beautiful vocal sampling as always!
So any song that samples something other than a generic drum machine will pique my curiosity. For the official London Olympics 2012 producer Mark Ronson sampled various sounds of sports from the clicks of a table tennis rally to the bounce of a gymnast hitting the vault. Titled "Anywhere in the World" and expected to be released March 13th, the single features vocals by UK songstress Katy B.
Here is a 2-minute clip with the video showcasing the Move to the Beat project and the athletes that provided the beats.
This girl-boy duo, Aluna Francis & George Reid, are stirring up the London scene with their latest single You Know You Like It. Aluna's voice delivers the R&B glam while George produces the grime and bass.

My favourite remix is by UK Garage veterans B-15 Project.
CHLLNGR is Steven Jess Borth II from California.
He is currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark and also had an album out last year called Haven.
Title track below.
Sharp and chiseled yet wondrously fluid - definitely my favourite show from Spring/Summer 2012 Haute Couture. (To be honest all the other shows were very disappointing.) That last dress is so heavy the model had to have two men supporting her as she walked.
He cited sculptures by Michel Deverne as the inspiration for this collection.
Darius Syrossian, signed to Steve Lawler's label, delivers clear and immensely energetic tech-house just like his label boss. Check out his newest release Favela Kids as well as a mix available for download.

Hoping that garage makes a comeback on the electronic scene with artists like Walton, who injects the growing post-dubstep atmosphere with the kitschy bounce of UK garage.
His first release will be out on the powerful Hyperdub label on September 5th. So keep a look out.
Meanwhile, listen and download his remix of Diana Ross' "Upside Down".
Welcome to the rainforest of electronic music. Frisktailers take elements from cumbia, dancehall, hip-hop, and many more to create a tropical and worldly sound that is intriguing and creative. Check out their first EP Bicho de Luz:
