Data gets some visual treatment for the tune “Rapture’ by the brilliant Nicolas André and Damien Vignaux from the Incog Collective. Simply amazing.

As previously reported. The Justice tour documentary “A Cross the Universe” is set to be released on November 24th (with live CD) through Because Music. Its along the same vein as Soulwax’s recent “Part of the Weekend Never Dies” film. Lots of performance footage and behind the scenes goodness. Shot by director friends Romain Gavras (directed video for “Stress“) and So-Me over three weeks of their second US tour. Very much looking forward to this. Promo tour with the rest of the Ed Banger crew begins in a couple of weeks. Details above. Go check them out when they roll through your town. Thank you to Fubiz for the new clip!

Melbourne, Australia’s The Temper Trap bless us with the beautifully haunting “Sweet Disposition” taken from their forthcoming debut album. (Yes, we do listen to more than just the dance-electro stuff) This will be a global hit.

We wish Travis Barker and DJ AM speedy recoveries. This video is a small glimpse into how talented both of these artists really are.

Russia’s The Proxy blessed us with a dark tune that has been a staple for most every big name DJ in recent months. “Raven” is getting an official release (10/8/2008) on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings with remixes from Marseille and Polymorphic. In honor of this release, he stopped by Radio 1 to lay down a mix full of electro nuggets.

Here he is dropping “Raven” live:

Australia’s NEVEREVERLAND music festival is coming back in December to celebrate Modular’s 10th birthday. Last year, Daft Punk was a headliner as part of their first Australian tour. Some amazing behind the scenes footage of their performance amongst others has been compiled to promote this years festival. Lineup to be announced soon. Good stuff.

The four track “Shake It” EP is the first taste of original Trevor Loveys material off the new Tragic Magic label he recently launched with Affie Yusuf. “Byrdy Beatz” and “Shake It” are both big room monsters. Give them a listen and scoop up the full EP!

Here is some footage of Loveys recent performance at Global Gathering earlier this year:

Here is some footage and an interview with the Soulwax boys from their recent “The MySpace Secret Show” that we recently promoted. Looks like it was another epic performance!

How quickly things progress. Software and hardware based digital DJing has become a standard. The legendary Richie Hawtin has embraced it 110%. Using Traktor he is able to mix, filter, loop, and tweak 4 decks simultaneously. Vinyl purists close your eyes. Cheers to iampennypops for the heads up on this gem.

Its been a while since we have received a new remix from our friend ROCCANOVA. Well, he’s back. This time he takes on Iceland’s Steel Lord. Give it a listen and give him some feedback good or bad in the comments.

Here is a video of Steel Lord at their recent visit to LA:
