Kid Cudi Vs Crookers "Day 'N' Nite"
Coming in January 2009..
Rapper and singer Kid Cudi – with a little help from production duo Crookers – will unleash the first big hit of 2009 with hip-house masterpiece Day ‘N’ Nite Lyrically angst-filled and insomnia inspired, the debut single oscillates between hypnotic, stripped back electro and unashamedly deranged, rave-style breakbeats complete with wonky bassline. The result is a disconcertingly catchy anthem that’s already causing high-scoring Richter Scale damage in clubs and winning over fans all day and all night long.

Dream On Behind The Scenes featured on Electroqueer
MySpace have the exclusive for the "Dream On" behind the scenes with Robyn - this hasn't stopped Electroqueer embedding the MySpace TV video and running it on their site :)
"I really enjoyed this little behind the scenes documentary for the Christian Falk ft. Robyn video for "Dream On". It's nice to see Robyn enjoying herself in NYC and to see a little glimpse into her popstar life. The concept of the video is explained in detail and the actors themselves all add some great commentary. Really just a nice bit of film if you're a fan of the song and Robyn. It makes me miss NYC a bit. Enjoy."

Digital Spy Interview Robyn
Digital Spy interview Robyn, Christian Falk ft Robyn "Dream On" OUT NOW;
"Swedish electropopper Robyn may have put together the best singles run of the last 18 months: 'With Every Heartbeat', 'Handle Me', 'Be Mine', 'Who's That Girl'. Ever the individual, she's now singing about "thieves and muggers" and "scum and lowlifes" on new single 'Dream On', a collaboration with fellow Swede Christian Falk. Intrigued, we met up with her to find out more.
The new single features some rather unusual lyrics. What's it about exactly?
"We actually recorded the single two years ago, so it's not a comment on the present time, but I actually think these lyrics make a lot of sense now. The lyrics are about anyone who's a little bit on the outside - it doesn't have to be thugs, criminals, drug addicts or crazy people, even though the lyrics mention them. It's about how people who are different in society are often discriminated against or bullied."
That's quite dark subject matter for a pop song.
"Yeah, but you don't have to go all the way with it! If you're having a bad day and feeling a bit different, that song could be about you as well. It's for everybody. I love the fact that it's a song you can dance to with real deep content."
Your album came out in Sweden more than three years ago. Have you started thinking about the follow-up yet?
"I've started to think about it, but I've been on the road a lot this year so I haven't recorded anything yet. I hope to get back in the studio as soon as possible, maybe even as soon as January. I'm going to continue with the same sound on the next album and I'm going to work with Kleerup and Klas Ahlund, who I worked with on this album, again."

Subba Cultcha Archangel Album Review
Another great review for Archangel's debut album "How To Lose Your Best Friend", from Subba Cultcha
"One-man-band, Archangel, takes us on a retro trip back to the 80s.
From Mystery Jets to Mark Ronson, if there's one thing that's going through more than a slight resurgence at the moment it's the 80s. Step into your local Topshop, turn on the radio or enter within a 5 mile vicinity of Hoxton and I'll bet your neon legwarmers that the first thing you hear will be synths. So when the first bars of distorted keyboard effects kick in on album opener and title track, 'How to Lose Your Best Friend', there's more than a slight feeling of 'here we go again' to be had. Wrong. Because whilst a whole host of other bands are semi- ripping off the decade, Archangel is so committed to the cause you feel like the album may have come inbuilt with a tardis to take you back 25 years. That's a positive thing by the way.
Archangel, aka Nick Webber, apparently locked himself away for 18 months in a little house in Wiltshire with nowt but his collection of 70s and 80s records for company whilst making this album, and in a strange way it shows; apart from the obvious influences that have been brought to it, there's a kind of frantic energy that runs through the whole thing. Pounding drum tracks and multi-layerd electro blips abound, somehow managing to create a very internal, almost insular experience at odds with the upbeat, dance sensibilities of the tracks themselves.
At its best points, How To Lose Your Best Friend is a stomping disco beast in the vein of Friendly Fires or Roxy Music- 'Drive' and recent single 'Physical Energy' are two prime examples- but at times, and admittedly they are thankfully few in number, Archangel manages to lose the required edge that keeps him from descending into happy-clappy Feeling-esque pop ('Loud and Clear', 'Not The Man You Think I Am'). However, a stonking cover of Steely Dan's 'Do It Again' and even a sample of Maxine Nightingale's 'Right Back Where We Started From' are more than enough to redeem his granny-pop sins.
In general, 'How To Lose Your Best Friend', is a solid debut and one that should be applauded for managing to both be completely on the fashion money yet still set itself apart from the countless others doing the same. Maybe next time he'd benefit from having an objective eye join him down in his Wiltshire bunker, but for now Archangel should be pretty pleased with this first release. "I want what I have not"? Well, we want what you have. Mostly."

Archangel All Gigs 4 out of 5 Review
Its a belter!
"At first glance, Archangel sound like a fully functioning band, complete with singer, guitarist, bass guitarist and drummer. Wrong. In fact, this fully functioning 'band' is actually one man's compulsive determination and unbelievable talent. Nick Webber is the musical mastermind behind and within this track who not only sung and produced the record but played the guitar, drums, piano, electric keyboard, synth - bass and percussion too. Like a kid in a sweet shop, he had his hand in everything and the images of Webber impersonating roadrunner are not to be laughed at but commended, for this is a truly brilliant single.
'How To Lose Your Best Friend' is defiantly a track you can imagine listening to in a grimy bar with its dirty dance floors and idiotic indie kids dancing to songs that are 'cool' but they don't know why. Yet this is actually cool. The fusion of electronic energy and murky beats are all cemented together by Webber's lyrics and screechy vocals. Its alternative indie meets electro, in other words not the same monotonous drivel that many 'indie' bands like The Kooks and Razorlight keep churning out year after year.
Webber has made an edgy and mysterious track that does not tell you how or why he lost his best friend but makes you want a whole new one in the form of the man responsible for such an creative and innovative song.
Nick Webber may only be one man, but he certainly has more imagination and passion than Johnny Borrell and Luke Pritchard have put together."

Not content with his huge success, Basshunter is itching to do a full scale tour in 2009 - there really is no stopping this Swedish sensation!"

The Sun "X Rated Aylar Puts X In Xmas"
The Sun Online get the world exclusive of the brand new Basshunter video, "I MIss You", and featured it as one of the lead stories on Bizarre, MusicBiz - it even featured on the main homepage..
"EVEN when it's snowing outside, AYLAR LIE knows how to turn up the heat.
While most of us are padded up fatter than a snowman and with noses brighter than Rudolph, the Iranian former porn queen still looks scorching with her luscious locks draped over her itsy bitsy bikini.
The brunette has reprised her role as the female lead in BASSHUNTER's upcoming Christmas track I Miss You, shedding her kit despite the winter setting.
The video sees the quirky Swede, real name Jonas Altberg, spending the festive season with Aylar and their pals.
Their playful innocence is captured as they exchange pressies, but it's soon traded in for steamy spas and snogging under the mistletoe.
Taken from the No1 album Now You're Gone and following three smash hit singles, you can forget Auld Lang Syne this New Year and get jiggy to Jonas.
I Miss You is released on December 15."

"It's not just a Robyn single" Popjustice
Christian Falk Ft Robyn features on the Popjustice Homepage;
"It's not just a Robyn single. We should just state right now that despite the fact that Robyn is all over the video for Christian Falk featuring Robyn's 'Dream On'...
...this is NOT simply a Robyn release. This is most definitely a Christian Falk featuring Robyn release. It's on a different label and everything and is not part of the Robyn campaign.
As you can see the single's artwork removes any doubt at all that this is ABSOLUTELY NOT to be confused with the latest Robyn release
Yes very good.

Archangel album is "Good Good Great"
From the blog Nothing But Green Lights;
"Pumping indie-funk probably wouldn’t work without this one man at the helm, playing all the instruments, controlling the direction, perfecting every piece, riding solo and powering through. Archangel demonstrates that as Tom Vek did (and with similar funk, dance sensibilities) a one man attack is a smart attack. The album is good good great, hear more at myspace."

"Robyn is back!
The Swedish songstress lends her vocals to "Dream On," a track from Swedish pop producer Christian Falk. Atmospheric and grand, Robyn and Christian hit all the right notes on this emotive pop tune that makes me weak in the knees a little.
The song is actually a re-release of a 2006 version that also features the vocals of Swedish pop rocker Ola Salo of The Ark. This re-release will be released as a single in the U.K. on November 24."

"Dream On" featured on Digital Spy Homepage
"She's been keeping herself busy on Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet Tour' of late, but Robyn is now gearing up to release a new single. It's called 'Dream On' and it's a collaboration with Swedish producer Christian Falk that originally came out in Sweden back in 2006.
The label describes it as an "eerily poignant social commentary on today's broken Britain", and to that end Robyn sings about "thieves and muggers, tricks and hustlers, cheats and traitors, scum and low-lives". OK, so it isn't a barrel of laughs lyrically, but 'Dream On' is a lovely, melancholy piece of electropop that maintains the high standards Robyn set with 'Be Mine', 'Who's That Girl' and 'With Every Heartbeat'.
The suitably evocative video, which features Robyn in New York, appears for your viewing pleasure below"

"Dream On" Featured on Stereogum Homepage
"With "Dream On," Swedish producer/composer Christian Falk sets a nighttime backdrop for Swedish Robyn to do her thing, singing about pimps, punks, lifers, and snitchers. Now it's time to do the math. Originally, it wasn't just Robyn on the track: The faint shadow of a male singer on the original, which first appeared on Falk's 2006 second collection People Say, was the Ark's Swedish vocalist Ola Salo. Ola also didn't appear on the version of "Dream On" that showed up on the North American release of Robyn's self-titled fourth album. If that weren't enough, there was also a few remixes and edits and now this shimmery 2008 take. Which is why it got a shimmery new video treatment. (Yes, there was a video for the 2006 Ola version starring teenagers.) Why all the hubbub? Get inspired"

"Dream On" Featured on Pitchfork
"The endless succession of new and alternate Robyn videos would be easier to resist (so don't get any ideas) if she didn't have so many clever, spirited, and-- sigh-- yes, replayable songs. The Swedish pop superwoman safeguards our bodies and souls with the Ark's Ola Salo as her harmonizing sidekick on Christian Falk's "Dream On", an electropop anthem that's been re-recorded for the U.S. release of Robyn's self-titled album. The track made our top 10 of 2006; the original video didn't even show the singers, focusing on two Stockholm teenagers instead. In the new video, Robyn is front and center, calling on us to get through our troubles through her power of song. It's like something out of that WFMU "Peanuts" strip."

9 out of 13 for Red Blooded Women on Room Thirteen
Room Thirteen review Red Blooded Women's "You Made Your Bed EP"
"Girl-group pop, hardest game in the world mate. I was in an all female girl group for a few years man and boy, I tell you. Hmmm, he was an excellent and under-rated Fast Show character wasn’t it?
Anyways, girl groups, perhaps the record companies have seen the end of Girls Aloud and Sugababes as there appears to be a glut of girl groups being pushed back on to unsuspecting young girls and gay men. Most record label money appears to have been dumped on The Saturdays and with two ex S Club Juniors and a Sienna Miller lookalike in the line-up, you know’ll they’ll be appealing to more than the standard market, its just a shame they forget to include a tune with their debut single.
So, not holding out much hope for them, who else is there? Red Blooded Women (yeah, its like that Kylie track but there's three of them) claim to be different. So far so like everyone else but the track ‘You Made Your Bed’ takes from 80s synth pop and delivers something slightly better than to be expected. The vocals are short of breath, there are stop start moments and the lyrical wordplay is kept simple so they’ve followed the template pretty well but it just doesn’t feel collectively right. The remix that tries to steal the bass from ‘I Feel Love’ is probably the best of the bunch but come 2009, you wont be hearing this too much on the sticky and grubby dance floors that lovers of this type of music usually find themselves in.
If you really want to do yourself a favour, get your hands on the work of Little Boots if you really need a poppy girl to bop along to, a little bit harder is Ladyhawke who also gets the thumbs up but if you want the best advice, sit back for a few weeks and get the Annie record. Or better yet, go and get her ‘Anniemal’ album and enjoy ‘Chewing Gum’ or ‘Me Plus One.’ Saying that, Red Blooded Women appear to be better than the rest of their newly launched rivals but how much of a compliment you view this as is entirely up to you!"

Anyways, girl groups, perhaps the record companies have seen the end of Girls Aloud and Sugababes as there appears to be a glut of girl groups being pushed back on to unsuspecting young girls and gay men. Most record label money appears to have been dumped on The Saturdays and with two ex S Club Juniors and a Sienna Miller lookalike in the line-up, you know’ll they’ll be appealing to more than the standard market, its just a shame they forget to include a tune with their debut single.
So, not holding out much hope for them, who else is there? Red Blooded Women (yeah, its like that Kylie track but there's three of them) claim to be different. So far so like everyone else but the track ‘You Made Your Bed’ takes from 80s synth pop and delivers something slightly better than to be expected. The vocals are short of breath, there are stop start moments and the lyrical wordplay is kept simple so they’ve followed the template pretty well but it just doesn’t feel collectively right. The remix that tries to steal the bass from ‘I Feel Love’ is probably the best of the bunch but come 2009, you wont be hearing this too much on the sticky and grubby dance floors that lovers of this type of music usually find themselves in.
If you really want to do yourself a favour, get your hands on the work of Little Boots if you really need a poppy girl to bop along to, a little bit harder is Ladyhawke who also gets the thumbs up but if you want the best advice, sit back for a few weeks and get the Annie record. Or better yet, go and get her ‘Anniemal’ album and enjoy ‘Chewing Gum’ or ‘Me Plus One.’ Saying that, Red Blooded Women appear to be better than the rest of their newly launched rivals but how much of a compliment you view this as is entirely up to you!"

Delinquent Ft KCat featured on Sun Online
Delinquent Ft KCat feature on The Sun Online, with news and the video for the new single "I Got U"
"FOR those old enough to remember TOM HANKS flick Big, DELINQUENT's new video is a perfect nostalgic trip down memory lane.
The infectious track I Got U follows a group of kids who are too small to go on the rides at their local fairground.
But after drinking a magic potion, they grow overnight and wake up the size of adults.
To see the video, watch below:
Delinquent have struggled to release the follow up to My Destiny, after a near death experience on the M25 whilst travelling back from a gig.
But they've triumphed with the new single, which features sexy songstress KCAT, as it has enjoyed huge summer success in Ibiza, Ayia Napa, Malia, Zante and Kos.
So hopefully it will keep us feeling hot despite the winter blues"
