Having already logged studio time with Chic's Nile Rodgers and composer Paul Williams, Daft Punk made more news recently, when disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder revealed that he has recorded a "rap" track with the robotic duo. Sounds weird. [Pitchfork]

Matthew Dear has a new album, Beams, in stores August 27, and has released a new track "Her Fantasy," which you can stream via Ghostly's SoundCloud page. Nice. [SoundCloud]

Bass heroes Sepalcure and Scuba are both touring North America in July, albeit separately. Click here for Sepalcure dates, and here for Scuba. Should be pretty rad. [BackspinPromo]

In other news, respected dance music site (the mag ceased print publication in 2011) XLR8R has been acquired by Buzzmedia. Hopefully the content will remain the same. [Billboard]

Just in time for the tail end of pool party season, Future Disco will be releasing their Poolside Sounds compilation on August 12 (though it hits European shelves in June), featuring summer tracks from some of our favorites like The Rapture, Poolside, Maya Jane Coles, and remixes by Classixx, Cosmic Kids, Mario Basanov and more. Preview it by clicking here. [FutureDisco]

Soulful house king Osunlade has put together a pretty awesome mix for Little White Earbuds, featuring a collection of his influences, from Dave Grusin, Prince and Aretha Franklin to Gal Costa, Can and Slum Village. Smooth. Download it here. [LittleWhiteEarbuds]
