Finally! It only took 8 years!

We are huge fans of Jackson and his Computer Band. His debut album Smash came out well before Cross by Justice and it’s obvious that record had a huge influence on the later duo.

Now there is a new album, Glow, released on 2nd September through Warp and from the video above it’s obviously going to be amazing. We can’t wait!

Here is some blurb from Jackson himself:

“About the record I have no idea. I kept only the bits when I lost control of myself. I feel fine about it’s emotional range. But I still wonder what made me do it.

I hope it’s fun and gives people some bravery and suspicious feelings about the state. I also hope it creates a great feeling of tenderness as well as the strength to carry a monster truck with just one hand.

The live show is the birth of the Computerband aka the mechanical beat engine… hand made and manually played… sweat and steel for flashing beauty. It’s also the opportunity for me to make my music with the audience and no longer need to watch a screen.”

Pre-order the album from Bleep.

Last Friday night, Daft Punk gave an in depth interview with Pete Tong ahead of the release of the new album Random Access Memories. In the interview the two robot legends mention how they worked with world class session musicians Nathan East and Omar Hakim on Get lucky as well as Nile Rodgers. The Duo also said it was likely they would be remixing the tracks on the album at some point in the near future. check out the full interview below.

And here is the latest online teaser which emerged today. The intro to the album sounds AMAZING.

Our good friends Youthkills have a new EP out today through iTunes Germany, which features a remix by DRM RLL PLS resident Melechtric. check it out!

Next Friday (17th May), we’ll be taking over room 2 at Bugged Out / XOYO and doing what we do best, making you dance.
