Film

It's always a pleasure to speak to the creative powerhouse that is Laurent Garnier, but it was while chatting to DJ Mag about his latest album project 'The HOME Box' — his first in six years, out now on his relaunched F Comm imprint — that the Frenchman let slip that he's currently making his own feature film. Loosely based on his book Electro Choc, coming out in English this month via the Rocket 88 publishers, the film is consuming Laurent for pretty much most of this year.

Swedish House Mafia today released their new movie ‘Leave The World Behind’ on iTunes.

The feature length film, a follow up to ‘Take One’, chronicles the trio’s One Last Tour - which was the world’s biggest ever electronic music tour, selling over 1 million tickets in a single week!

Ashley Beedle is a don. In a time when the dance world is riddled with superstar DJs, touting supersized egos, and bitching like babies at the slightest provocation, Beedle still rocks every party like it’s his first. Having been in the game for 30+ years, his heart still syncs to a house beat — he’s as passionate flinging down the disco classics from his youth as he is roughing up kicks and creating future bass t’umpers for Toddla T’s Girls’ Music. As we said: A don.

Howie B has often found himself at the frontier. Whether it's been at the Africa Centre as Soul II Soul carved itself its place in British soul history. Or manning the desk while Björk became one of the most unlikely pop sensations in decades. Or forging the sound of the iconoclastic Tricky on 'Maxinquaye'. Or helping U2 to embrace bigger, more bombastic beats on their 1997 album 'Pop'. But the minute he can be categorised, or second guessed, that's it, he's off doing something else. 

Digital music sales have started to make up for vinyl sales going through the floor, but nevertheless producers are always looking for new revenue streams for their productions. The holy grail in this respect is a sync.
