The new James Blake single has leaked, and while typically austere, "Retrograde" is surprisingly soulful, marking a clear progression from Blake's earlier work. Wow. [YouTube]

Julio Bashmore and Hyetal have released a new Velour single, "Speedway," which is a pretty welcome departure from Bashmore's recent tracks, but just as synth-heavy as their 2010 EP on Night Slugs. [SoundCloud]

Norwegian cosmic disco king Lindstrøm has remixed aspiring pop starlet Charli XCX's new track "You (Ha Ha Ha)," to an interesting result. Might be worth searching out the dub on this one. [Fact]

A new Las Vegas nightclub called LIGHT will provide an interesting new musical/theatrical collaboration when it opens in the Mandalay Bay hotel this spring; the club will pair several of EDM's biggest artists with performance troupe Cirque du Soleil.

Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia member Sebastian Ingrosso, Zedd and newcomer Baauer have all signed residency deals with the club, and in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the artists appeared cautiously optimistic about the collaboration.

"It's not about having acrobats for my set," Skrillex explains. "For me, personally, the objective is to have something based around your music and something you want to dance to, not something you want to stare at the whole time. But how do you make the environment completely immersive? I think that's the goal for my show, at least."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Chances are you never heard of Al Walser before his surprise Grammy nomination for best dance recording. Even more surprising? Neither had most Grammy voters.

For the second year in a row, the Grammys are facing criticism for allowing a nominee in a field where some say he lacks credibility. Walser's inclusion along with better-known artists Avicii, Swedish House Mafia, Calvin Harris and Skrillex set off complaints about The Recording Academy's Grammy365 social media platform that allows members to lobby each other when it comes time to vote.

Joe Gazzola

Dutch DJ John Christian has delivered a typically uptempo, dance-floor primed remix of Avicii and Nicky Romero's popular new single "I Could Be The One," which you can check out below.

"John christian really hit the spot with this remix on 'I Could Be The One,'" Romero tells Spinner RPM. "His mix really caters to that big room energetic feel everybody is looking for nowadays, a real floor filler if you ask me. The track fits into my sets seamlessly!"

Christian and Romero also have a three-way collaboration record with Nilson entitled "Still The same Man" out now on Toolroom Records. Check out Christian's "I Could Be The One" remix after the jump.

Skrillex has just been announced as an headliner for Barcelona's Sonar festival 2013, where the transitioning dubstep king will share a stage with Kraftwerk.
