[News] Digitalism Announces North American Tour
Further supporting the release of their second studio LP I Love You, Dude, German electronic duo Digitalism have announced another round of North American tour dates. The tour, which is sponsored by Jägermeister, will start near the end of November and take the duo throughout the continent until mid-December.
You can check out all of their remaining 2011 tour dates after the jump.
[Sunday Pickup] Daft Punk, Justice, DJ Shadow, Moby, Mark Ronson, Basement Jaxx, Portishead & Many More Essential Mixes Circa 1993
The Essential Mix Series on Radio One dates back to 1993, when on the 30th of October, Pete Tong first put out a mix on the show that became the first of hundreds that would grace the airwaves. Nearly 18 years on and they're still going strong as UK phenomenon James Blake put in a great sounding mix featuring just yesterday in the early hours debuting some brand new material from himself along with a wide spectrum of other musical genres. After posting the JB Mix I received a tweet from some friends over at Another Whiskey For Mister Bukowski sending me in the direction of 900+ Essential Mixes dating way back to 1993! 1993!
In the space on two hours I'd gone from one end of the Essential Mixes history with the latest guest spot, way back to the first ever one from Pete Tong himself. I'd of been but a little 4 year old back in 1993, dressed in a Thunderbirds outfit jumping off of my drum kit trying to fly before subsequently falling through the snare drum my Mum had just moments before told me I'd break. I may not of been aware of the vast array of electronic that the club scene was thriving on in the 90's, but, through the joy of ageing and the magical times that we live in we can check out a vast array of music we may have missed whilst trying to fly as a child via the internet.
This bumper sized Sunday Pickup contains Essential Mixes from some of the biggest DJ's the world has ever seen. Sets from the likes of Daft Punk way back in 1997. Fitting after we just 2 days ago got to hear their previously unreleased track from 1994, "Drive". Other mixes come from Justice, Flying Lotus, Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow, Moby (1994), Digitalism, 2 Many DJ's, Mark Ronson, Magnetic Man, Portishead. I could go on to list all 900+ mixes but that would be pointless as you are all at home having a lazy Sunday (maybe), so spend it listening to some classic tracks dating back to 1993 right up until 2007. Have a scroll below and happy listening it should take you about 109K plus hours to get through it all. Better get started! (After the jump there's a few track numbers to help you find the sets in the title eg DAFT PUNK at 743!)
[Watch] Digitalism - "Circles" (Official Video)
CoS points us in the direction of this brand spanking new visual offering from Digitalism for their track "Circles". The video manages to capture the energy and feel of the duos live show by cutting from fans truly immersed in the music to the bands onstage chemistry. Add to this the gif like chops of reel to add a jilted effect to the video and it creates a mind altering visual of live music. I'm gonna have to check these guys out next week at Leeds Festival after watching this. Their sophomore album I Love You Dude, is out now if you want to grab a copy.
[Listen] Digitalism - 'I Love You, Dude' (Full Album Stream)
In just a matter of days, German electronic duo Digitalism will be releasing their second studio album I Love You, Dude. The album is their follow-up to the duo's debut album Idealism, which was released in 2007. We've already been given a taste of the album with the tracks "Blitz," "Forrest Gump," "Miami Showdown," and "2 Hearts," but now we have the full album stream of I Love You, Dude for your listening pleasure. You can listen to the full album, which is out on June 21st, after the jump.
