As part of being included on the BBC’s Sound of 2012 list, Skrillex must have promised the corporation a certain amount of song premieres over the next few months, the first of which is Zedd‘s remix of Breakin’ A Sweat – played out tonight by Zane Lowe.
If you didn’t already know, Skrillex and the remaining members of The Doors collaborated last year on a track called Breakin’ A Sweat (It’s Alright), and this is the fantastic electro remix by his OWSLA label signee Zedd.

We covered the release of The Whip‘s new single Movement earlier in the week, and now we are pleased to say that we have got our hands on some tickets to give away for the homecoming Manchester leg of their UK tour which will be stopping at the Club Academy on the 29th February.
We have 2 tickets to give away as a pair, and entry couldn’t be simpler. All you have to do is join our Facebook page and tag yourself in the album art (see above) for The Whip’s forthcoming album Wired Together.
We will be picking the winners on the 17th. Good luck!
You guys already know what I think of M.I.A.‘s new Danja produced single Bad Girls, but the official music video takes it to a whole new level.
We knew that the cinematic genius Romain Gavras was in charge of the visuals (who was responsible for this masterpiece amongst others), so it wasn’t unfair to expect big things. Shot by the man himself in Ouarzazate, Morocco, the video taps in to the trend of performing wild dangerous car stunts that many of you will have seen in videos shot in eastern hemisphere countries.
M.I.A. had this to say about shooting the video:
“It was dope to have so many people from so many different backgrounds speaking so many different languages come together to create something that we believed in.”
“I thought I was gonna die on the shoot when I saw the drifting. It was a four day shoot so everyone was on edge the whole time specifically ME when I had to do bluesteel singing to the camera while the cars did doughnuts on the wet road ten feet away. In my mind I was thinking how I was gonna deliver the video to Vice with no legs.”
This is yet another Neon Gold affiliated act getting the remix treatment as the talented Gigamesh has worked his magic on Grouplove‘s new single Tongue Tied.
Gigamesh normally comes through with some very funky disco reworks, but this effort seems very pop orientated (which is a good thing). Grouplove must be very happy with what he has delivered here.
