Jamie Lidell’s long-awaited new album Multiply is out now. Producer, singer, beatboxer and all-out showman without equal, Jamie has crafted a twisted electronic soul classic that has the power and emotion of vintage Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder while adding a unique Lidell electronic twist and fat drums.

Warp Films: Paradise Lost


TLS


On 20th June Warp Films’ new distribution label will release classic American documentaries Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2 by Joe Berlinger & Bruce Sinofsky (the directors of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster). The much celebrated films, that also feature a soundtrack by Metallica, tell the true story of one of the most notorious murder cases in US history, and the aftermath in which three teenagers were convicted of murder in - what some claimed – was an atmosphere of ‘Satanic Panic’. Fraught with innuendoes of devil worship, allegations of coerced confessions and emotionally charged statements, the case was one of the most sensational of recent times. The filmmakers captured these shocking events as they unfolded before their cameras with unprecedented access to all involved in this real-life human drama.

"Breathtakingly brilliant documentaries" GQ "Mesmerizing. True crime reporting at its most bitterly revealing" NYTimes "Gripping. The best documentary of the year, maybe of the decade." NY Post

The double A side single Take Ecstasy With Me/Get Up is released on July 25th. A cover of the song by Magnetic Fields, the title track is a super-baggy swaggering electronic smash for the summer. The band tour Europe for festival dates during August, including a London 100club gig. See below for full list of dates News

Prefuse 73

Prefuse 73 release a new 8 track EP on 11th July, a collaboration with The Books. Reads The Books continues the evolution of Scott Herren’s Prefuse alias into one of the most versatile and visionary producers in the world. The clash of The Books’ cellos, banjos, clavinets and other traditional instrumentation with the digital clatter of Prefuse’s MPC and synths creates the feeling of a musical lover’s quarrel. Listen on Bleep here

Plaid

With the IMAX’s amazing surround sound PA and the biggest cinema screen in Europe, this is going to be unmissable.

The Dangermaus-produced Gorillaz album Demon Days is currently number 6 in the US album charts and number 1 in the UK and France, and DM is limbering up for the imminent release of the Danger Doom. Danger Doom is of course Danger Mouse on the boards and MF Doom on the mic. The album looks set for an autumn release and will be on Lex in Europe and licensed to Epitaph in the USA. The first Danger Doom track to see the light of day is on the internet now. It's called Mince Meat and you can hear it here

Subtle come back with a new 12" only EP out in Europe in mid June and out in America on 12th July, called "The Long Vein Of The Law" EP, featuring a collaboration with Mike Patton. They play the Friday of Sonar Festival with a full band and instrumentalists.
