You’ve heard from Deadmau5 not two days ago (for his Cafe del Mar remix). And the news just came in, he’s signed a contract with Ultra Records for his new album -Random Album Title- supposed to come out in september.

Here’s the tracklist:

1. 01.Sometimes Things Get, Whatever
   02. Complications
   03. Slip
   04. Some Kind Of Blue
   05. Brazil (2nd Edit)
   06. Alone With You
   07. I Remember
   08. Faxing Berlin (Piano Acoustic Version)
   09. Faxing Berlin
   10. Not Exactly
   11. Arguru
2. 12. So There I Was

As you can see, there are some old tracks (Faxing Berlin, Not exactly, Arguru) but also some brilliant new ones, like for example Brazil Second Edit or Sometimes things get, Whatever, that you can hear on his Myspace.

Do you know TKNIK ?

Obviously yes if you’re a regular Tsugi or Trax reader. The young 18 year old producer (from Clermont) has indeed appeared recently on both samplers of these two french mags (Noose, in Tsugi n°10 july/august ’08 and Acid Guns, in Trax special august ’08)!

Also playlisted by Busy P., who selected him for the « French touch 3,0 » of Trax, the young Bastien (his firstname) , influenced mainly by Oizo & Justice, controls the distortion & cut arts without abusing of them. It’s heavy stuff, but produced with a lot of care! Even if the guy is still searching for his proper style, only an idiot wouldn’t see his potential which is gradually showing itself…

And good news, he just announced the release date for his new EP -Factory 51- which will contain nearly a dozen exclusive tracks: « I’ve had fun creating a storyboard, so a serie of video clips should be coming out soon… » says Bastien in the French Touch Forum.We’ll be seing you in december/january for his new album, and to see if he proves our judgement to be right.

« We trust him. », as Pedro says!
