One of our favourite debut albums from last year was the Arnaud Rebotini-produced Rafale album ‘Obsessions’ – well they’ve decided to give it a lick of remix paint for 2012 and are giving away the remixes album for free.

Last night Nile Rodgers revealed in a online interview that he was going to be meeting Daft Punk to discuss their 4th studio album, with the two electronic pioneers wanting to experiment with R&B and funk for their next album.
Imagine our surprise when someone left a sendspace link to some supposedly new Daft Punk material from a new album called ‘Sky Dive’ on our comments section. Well, naturally we’d ignore it, we didn’t even bother downloading them at first, but like any DP fan the curiosity got to us, so we thought it was worth a peep.
French electro maestro Surkin has been around ages, looking back at his releases they go back as far as 2006, but only now has he decided to release his debut album ‘USA’ via Ultralight. Has the 5 year wait been worth it? Well, no. On the whole it a bit hit and miss as the French producer shows off his influences through journey of pop, electro, house along with plenty of other odds from p-funk, synth pop, disco and hip hop. Unfortantely he’s unable to bring all these influences together in a way that works for an album, it’s fractured and a bit all over the place.
Justice’s second album was always going to create a bit of a stir, and if you’re expecting Cross 2.0 then you might want to get your coat. It’s not. But, it is the soundtrack to a rebellious 80’s Hollywood action film that never got made. It’s big on grandeur, emotion and stadium rock. It never deviates from the concept too far, but it captures all those emotions you get from a classic action film where the hero, against the odds, saves the day and get’s the girl.
Alex Metric has built himself quite the reputation as the go-to-guy for stunning remixes lately – so it wouldn’t be a bad thing if he compiled his finest work into one handy mixed CD – this is ‘Open Your Eyes’.
