FYF has announced its official set times for its two-day 2012 event in Downtown Los Angeles. Guess we won't be seeing M83 or Simian Mobile Disco. Psyched, though! [TheScenestar]
Enigmatic Aussie production collective The Avalanches have finally released their first original track in over a decade, "A Cowboy Overflow of the Heart," which features some pretty chilling spoken word vourtesy of David Berman of Silver Jews fame. [SoundCloud]
Listen to Idris Elba narrate a history of dance in How clubbing Changed the World, a doc which features input from everyone from Nile Rodgers, and Goldie to Armand van Helden and Moby, and an awkward transition from Wiggan to David Guetta, who is apparently "like a Jedi." Hmm. [YouTube]
Julia Holter has released a blurry new video for her track "Goddess Eyes." [YouTube]
UK house duo Bicep have announced the launch of their new label, Feel My Bicep. The first release will be their long-awaited Vision of Love EP. Check the trailer by clicking to the right, and get your moves straight. [YouTube]
Strut Records continues its string of excellent compilations with Fac. Dance 02: Factory Records 12" Mixes & Rarities 1980-1987, in stores Sept. 18. Download a track from the comp, Backock + Wilcox' "Thick Pegion," by clicking to the right. Awesome. [SoundCloud]
