Here's some more Daft Punk stuff just to show how amazing these guys really are. I've haven't seen them live yet - but guess this is an amazing example of 'putting on a show'?!

This is insane - love the mixing, cutting, fading, screwing and general mish mash of all there songs and samples for the live crowd. This was truly amazing dance music at it's best.

You just have to love this - amazing :)

Like most geeks, I've been waiting for the Daft Punk Soundtrack to the Tron Legacy to hit the airwaves - but it's still pretty hush right now. There's a complete website dedicated to the soundtrack itself - as linked here

This is going to be absolutely large - not just the soundtrack itself, but the movie is looking fantastic. I've watched the trailers and listened to the scraps of Daft Punk tunes that will make it onto the soundtrack - and they are pretty sick!

There's nothing like future proof electro shock music by Daft Punk to get the blood flowing I can tell you. This tune is very infectious and pulsates with a deep growly bass line that shakes your spine if turned up even slightly loud.

I'm excited about the movie and the soundtrack to drop - not long left now; but the thought of some new Daft Punk is absolutely brilliant!

It's been ages since these guys were back on the scene, but I'm very happy that they came back in a big way.

Here's my fave trailer to the Tron Legacy for anyone who surprisingly hasn't already checked it out already :)

Is there anyone who loves hip hop music and DOESN'T LOVE the new N.E.R.D stuff off their new record Nothing?? I don't think so - this record is an absolute banger!!

I've been checking out the tunes and it's totally fresh and sizzling with flavour - lots of snarey drumming and clugging bass guitars give that feel of a moody bluesy band with a horizontal chillaxing vibe.

My current fave tunes are Party People, Hot n Fun, Nothing On You, Hypnotize U, Help Me and Life As A Fish.

These songs still have that smokey jazz feel - but there's a strong current of electro thrown in; this is best seen on the song Hypnotize U, as it features an almost airy and infectious arrangement from Daft Punk.

There's some great crazy 70' psychedelia thrown in there too; and this wide selection of what can only be described as 'world music', is more than welcome from a band who seemingly stuck to their guns with heavy dusty drums and deep frogging bass lines.

All in all, I reckon it's the best record yet - the most accessible, the most wide ranging, and the most uplifting too.

Well done boys - I'm sure many will agree with open arms too :)

P.S. Here's a live version of their big club tune on the record, Party People, which actually features T.I. I do like the way the line 'What I need what I need is that girl there' sounds very similar to the MJ classic 'Don't Stop'? Bit geeky that :)

Taylor Swift has to be my guilty pleasure - amongst my collection of hardcore hip hop, grime, rock n' roll and indie music; I've always got room for some Taylor!

I loved this VMA performance, it was very mature and grown up - yet her new LP has all sorts of tweenie stuff on it. It's still getting some rotation on my iPod - but she's one of those artists I'm embarrassed to say I listen to ;)

Well, here's an insight into my crazy mind - one man's guilt is another man's pleasure?? Lol

It's still a brilliant tune - from a brilliant record me thinks xo

I'm back on the Kanye West tip peeps!.. And his new diamond teeth ain't the only thing popping!

Here's another great track from his G.O.O.D Friday's giveaways. It's pretty good (as usual with his quality control) and got that whole crazy future psychedelic sh@t all over it again! Love the fact that Mos Def has finally got in on it along with Big Sean; as usual Lupe Fiasco is there carrying the ball safely too.

I'm always gonna say this, but Kanye is the sh@t and I love his stuff. Can't wait to hear his stuff from the Jay-Z duo album soon too.

Gotta give the boy props - his everywhere and still smashing up the scene :)

Got this guys album and it's seriously dope. 'Won't Go Quietly' isn't your typical dance album with a few singles on it; it's very deep in it's roots and there's a bit of everything on there to be honest. Some grime stuff, some dance stuff, some big beat stuff and general clubbie stuff too.

I rate Example because he's stepped out of the traditional 'this is what dance music should be' persona and just put out a great sounding record for all types to like.

You don't have to love dance music to love this record, there's plenty to keep you busy. My fave tracks are probably 'Won't go Quietly', 'Last One Standing' and 'Kickstarts' - but there's loads of top stuff on here to keep your head nodding and face smiling.

The big single off this record was 'Kickstarts' - it's a nice aide memoir to people rolling in and out of relationships when you think you've found 'it'... but then realise it's not 'it', and the new thing might be 'it', but you're just not sure what 'it' is anymore? lol

I love this song and I'm sure there's loads of people who do too.

... And the love kickstarts again :) lovely...

Nelly isn't back!... the boy never left as far as I was concerned!

This tune has that great 80's beat sample and those retro synths all over it. It does remind me of old skool Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan, but with some tight rapping from Nelly and Plies, and smooth sauce drizzled all over it by Chris Brown - it's a real winner this joint.

Think the tune itself is about stealing someones girl from right under their feet, but there's nothing consciously wrong with that when being discussed in a over produced rap song is there? lol

I like the feel of this song, it's more of a RnB track than an all out hip hop offering, but it fits real well in the demands of Nelly fans awaiting his real grown up comeback to the game.

It's definitely worth a spin and I'm sure there's quite a few Nelly fans who will be pleased with this return to form I reckon :)
