Redshape

Redshape is one of the lastest names coming out of Berlin with considerable buzz about him.

There is little or nothing known about the man behind the red mask but he has had a number of releases in the last few months on labels such as Delsin, Styrax Leaves and Music Man.

There are rumours that the man behind the mask could be a high profile, already established producer, but it's likely that this is total bollox considering he's playing venues that hold about 200 people with tickets costing less than a tenner each.

He has recently just finsihed a Deetron remix and has an EP due on his own label Present.

Redshape plays Dublins Cavern on Saturday 23rd of June.

Redshape - Ultra

Audion

A new one from Audion (aka Mathew Dear). It seems he's been keeping himself busy doing remixes for both Blackstrobe and the Chamical Brothers along with his latest release Noiser.

The I'm a Man remix is probally my favourite, it's really tense and just builds and builds and eventually breaksdown after about 9 minutes. Could easily be one of the best tracks I've heard this year.

Blackstrobe - I'm a Man (audion Donation Remix)

DatA

In a simiar vain to Justice and that now familiar Institubes sound, DatA are the newest thing to come out of Paris.

They have the full on electro sound that at this stage is nothing near original but at the end of the day, still rocks.

DatA - Morphosis

New Booka Shade Tracks

In between touring the world and working on the third album, Booka Shade seem have managed to come up with another 12" release.

The A side is called Tickle and on the flip is the more downtempo Karma Car.

Booka Shade - Tickle

Booka Shade - Karma Car

Dj Blaqstarr

Blaqstarr is a Baltimore based Dj/Producer, and even though he's only 22 he has made quite the name for himself already.

He is the second act to be signed to Diplo's Mad Decent label, the first being the brazilian funk trio that are Bonde Do Role.

There are lots of samples here backed by some pretty heavy and fast baselines, altogether it adds up to be a pretty exciting sound.

Blaqstarr - Supastarr 2.0

Blaqstarr - Feel It In The Air

Blaqstarr - Shake It To The Ground Pistol Pete Mix

Blaqstarr - Shake It To The Gound Detboi Shakecore Mix

The Chemical Brothers - We Are The Night

We are the night is the latest offering from the Chemical Brothers and seem to have, yet again come up with a very solid record.

As usual the album feature a wide array of guests to contribute vocals, this time round these include Fatlip (formerly of the Pharcyde), Klaxons, Midlake, Willy Mason and london scenester Ali Love - who does the vocal for the first single 'Do It Again'.

The album will be released on the 21st of June and you can expect to see them on many of the festival line up's later in the summer.
