Itch, 'Like I'm Drugs' -- Video Premiere

Andrew Paynter

Having spent seven years as front man of The King Blues, London artist Itch effectively toes the line between grime, punk and dubstep, collaborating with punk icons like Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Goldfinger's John Feldmann.

Spinner RPM is thrilled to premiere Itch's controversial new video for "Like I'm Drugs," which depicts the rapper sitting alone in the trap, ingesting everything but the kitchen sink.

"The concept of this video is me taking a lot of drugs," Itch tells us of the clip, which paints a vastly darker portrait than the song's uptempo production would suggest.

Watch Animal Collective's Panda Bear discuss contributing vocals to Daft Punk's Random Acces Memories, in the fifth installment of the video series "The Collaborators," which documents the recording of the album. "It's a huge honor for me, but to talk about it more than that is still a little bit difficult at this point," he says. "I feel like it's a cool way to say thanks for the inspiration." [Spin]

HARD Summer has announced its 2013 lineup, which features Duck Sauce, SBTRKT, Disclosure, TNGHT, RL Grime, Flying Lotus, Julio Bashmore, Oliver, Bondax, Empire of the Sun, Brodinski and many more. The event takes place August 3 and 4 in L.A. Looks like fun. [Hardfest]

Coachella 2013: Paul Oakenfold, Eric Prydz, Paul Kalkbrenner, Fedde Le Grand & Droog Discuss Their Week Off

Last year, Coachella added a second weekend, offering fans the opportunity to attend twice, organizers to charge twice, and artists up to a week off in the desert, golfing, meditating, visiting hallucinogen-friendly destination spots like Joshua Tree, or whatever else they deem fit.

While acts could not technically book ticketed Los Angeles dates in between, many performed up and down the coastline instead, from San Diego to San Francisco, private L.A. events courtesy of KROQ and KCRW, to stadium shows in scenic Santa Barbara.

We polled some of electronic music's biggest stars, Paul Oakenfold, Eric Prydz, Fedde Le Grand, Paul Kalkbrenner and up-and-coming L.A. locals Droog, about their between-Coachella weekend plans.

Daft Punk, 'Get Lucky (Feat. Pharell and Nile Rodgers)' -- Listen Now

Ethan Miller, Getty

Daft Punk are a musical anomaly, and not just because 20 years into their career we're still not sure what French electronic dance duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo look like beneath their robot masks.

Their last proper studio album, Human After All, came out in 2005 to critical and commercial indifference. Until, that is, the pair took their productions (and pyramid) on the road and turned their apparent failure into one of the new century's greatest success stories.

Daft Punk have been rolling out the marketing for their new instrument-based, collab-filled upcoming album, Random Access Memories, in a manner befitting their now-superstar status. Their last blitz, boasting a snippet of "Get Lucky" featuring Pharell Williams on vocals and Chic's Nile Rodgers on guitar, premiered at Coachella and then hit Saturday Night Live.

Daft Punk to Officially Release 'Get Lucky' Tonight, Diplo & DJ BL3ND's Managers Brawl & More

YouTube

After various leaks, critiques, rumors and suspicions, Daft Punk will officially release their new single, "Get Lucky," tonight at 12:01 ET. The track, which features vocals by Pharrell, and guitar by Nile Rodgers, will be available for download. If it's much different from the version that leaked yesterday, we'll be surprised. [MTV]

A fist fight broke out between Diplo's and DJ BL3ND's respective managers at the International Music Summit in L.A. yesterday (April 17), over accusations Diplo made regarding the origins of BL3ND's three million Facebook fans. The two were forcibly separated, and Diplo has continued to antagonize BL3ND via Twitter, writing "Lol @ dj bl3nd and his mgmt come at me bro." Express yourself, bro. [Billboard]

Here is a dating site for techno fans. The tagline reads "Do you like techno and spend your time alone?" Ad to feature Legowelt and Xosar. Just kidding. [TechnoDating]

LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy Calls Georges St. Pierre's Music an 'Abomination'

LCD Soundsystem founder James Murphy won't be inside an octagon anytime soon, but that doesn't mean he's in love with the walkout music of some MMA/UFC fighters, especially welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre's.

In an interview with Fightland Murphy said fighter Stephan Bonnar's walkout song "Eminence Front" by The Who was "a great song and weird to hear in that context" while also giving props to fellow scrapper Jason Miller for using Daft Punk. But when it came to talking about GSP's walkout music, Murphy simply described it as "an abomination."

"I think it needs to not be a shitty song, first," the musician said regarding what makes a good walkout song. "Or not be too serious. I kind of hate serious songs." He also added he'd use the Fall's "Totally Wired" as his own personal entrance music, saying "it's hilarious and un-scary in the boring check-out-how-heavy-my-walkout-music-is way."s
