I love it when artists give away free tracks.
New York-based The Golden Filter have released their new single Hide Me as a free download from their site. Great news. Having already dropped some great remixes of Cut Copy, Empire of the Sun and Little Boots, we can’t wait for their LP to come out.
Their debut album Voluspa is out 26th April.

The director of Science of Sleep, Motorcycle Diaries and Daft Punk’s Around the World video returns.
Very simple, very effective, very Gondry.

The other day, I got hold of Hotcakes favourite Seams to find out his inspirations behind his work, his hotly tipped artist of 2010 and to find out any news about his upcoming projects.
The london glitchy soundscape artist, who likens himself to Four Tet, has had quite a bit of attention from the Blogosphere lately, and has even caught the eye of NME, thanks mainly to his great follow up to his first album, the brilliant 7 minute belter, ‘Nightcycles‘.
Seams, aka Jami Welch, has got two london dates lined up this month in London, one on the 24th February at the Amersham Arms in New Cross, a few days before The Big Pink are playing at the same venue. So get down there if you like what you hear.
Here’s the full interview with Jami where he reveals who he thinks is going to take 2010 by storm.
Underneath that is a great new remix of ‘Nightcycles’ by Shells, and I think you’ll agree that there is an element of Four Tet to his sound if you listen to this gem of his as well. My personal view is that he sounds like a more chilled out version of scottish band Errors.
The Hangover was undoubtedly one of the funniest films of 2009 and now Chicago-based DJ Jem has come along and remixed one of the funniest scenes (Alan’s wolfpack toast) into a dance banger.
Comedy and dance music hand in hand, love it.
Swedish electronic duo The Knife have released their forthcoming album, Tomorrow, In a Year on Soundcloud which means we can all stream it for free. Brilliant.
The album makes a departure from their previous material: it’s an opera. A beautifully dark opera in true Knife style but an opera none the less. Collaborating with Danish theatre group Hotel Pro Forma, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, Tomorrow, In a Year, is apparently inspired by the work of British naturalist Charles Darwin.
Dubstep supremo Skream has added a load of new material to his Soundcloud in anticipation of the release of his second album later this year. Bangtidy.

More awesome disco demons from the Belgium duo.
Had some good material sent in by Californian indie/electronica band The Protist. Fans of M83 and Animal Collective should take to these like a duck to water and with two EPs already out and a debut album being recorded, there are high hopes for the brothers Kleiner.
We’ve selected a winner at random and the first name out of the hat was:
