Maya Jane Coles DJ-Kicks Mini-Mix: London House Producer Offers Exclusive Mix

  • Posted on May 17th 2012 6:40PM by Theo Bark

London house producer Maya Jane Coles began DJing at the age of 17, before she was old enough to enter a night club. The 24-year-old's rise to prominence has been impressive to watch, from providing remixes for everyone from Little Dragon and house legend MK, to being hailed as "breakthrough DJ of 2011" by Pete Tong, and contributing to institutions like BBC's Essential Mix and the respected DJ-Kicks series, which was released in April.

Coles took time out from working on her forthcoming debut LP to put together a pretty rad 25 minute mini-mix, exclusive to Spinner/RPM, featuring Soulphiction, Homeboy, Pig & Dan and more.

"This mix was just a personal insight into the music that inspired me at that moment," Coles explained. "I didn't want to use obvious stuff. I was lucky enough to get to use some amazing exclusives, alongside some tracks that had been released already but initially may not have got the attention they deserved."

Flea, Timbaland, Ladytron, Sheila E, Others React to Donna Summer's Death on Twitter

Keystone Hulton Archive

Donna Summer has died following a battle with cancer. The 63-year-old disco legend reportedly passed away this morning (May 17) in Florida, and her family released the news, saying they are "at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continue legacy."

Summer is known for her many hits, including "Hot Stuff," "Last Dance," "She Works Hard for the Money" and "Bad Girls," among many others, and won five Grammys over the course of her career. Summer had lung cancer, which she believed came from inhaling particles after the 9/11 attacks in New York. She was reportedly working on a new album up to the time of her death.

Fellow musicians have been reaching out via Twitter (#RIPdonnasummer) to express how much the disco queen's music meant to them.

Mark Ronson: Paul McCartney Saved Me From Drowning

Turns out Sir Paul McCartney is just as noble as his knighthood would suggest. The ex-Beatle saved producer-extraordinaire Mark Ronson from drowning in the Long Island Sound when Ronson was just a child.

Apparently Ronson, who was too young to remember and heard the story from his mother, wasn't entirely convinced the tale was true. "That sounded like one of my mum's crazy stories," Ronson told Britains Live Magazine.

Bjork Cancels More Tour Dates, Four Tet Sells Out in 10 Minutes, The Worst Tour of the Summer & More

After canceling a string of headlining performances in South America last month, Bjork has been forced to pull her appearances at Spain's Primavera Sound and Portugal's Optimus Primavera Sound, due to further issues with her vocal chords. No word as to her replacement -- we're hoping for Kraftwerk. [ConsequenceOfSound]

Check out two new Four Tet tracks from his forthcoming 12" "Jupiters" b/w "Ocoras." Pretty rad. Four Tet's also curating this Fugazi-inspired Brixton all-nighter with Caribou, Pearson Sound, Pangea, Floating Points and more in November. Unfortunately, it sold out in 10 minutes. [SoundCloud]

Here's the tour you've been waiting for: this July, Grimes, Diplo, Pretty Lights and Skrillex will travel around Canada on a private passenger train. The tour was inspired by the 1970 Festival Express tour, which featured Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and The Band, but will suck a whole lot more. [Pitchfork]

Doe Paoro 'Born Whole' (Young Midnight Remix) -- MP3 Premiere + Free MP3 Download

  • Posted on May 9th 2012 12:05PM by Theo Spielberg

Big Hassle

If you were to ask Brooklyn-based musician Doe Paoro to describe her music, she would respond "Ghost Soul." Her music is wistful and wispy, and reminiscent of "a choir of ghosts who haven't completely detached from the human experience."

Her song "Born Whole" is just like that. It appears on her Slow to Love album, out now, and features drifting and plaintive vocals that oscillate between ethereal and soulful. "We come into being as complete people, but somewhere along the line start searching for this mythical other 'half,' as though we didn't have everything we needed," Paoro tells Spinner.

Futurecop!, 'The Only Way' (Feat. Keenhouse) Video Premiere: Retro Mannequin Love

The Sleepover Party

Manchester, U.K. synth-pop duo Futurecop!'s "The Only Way" video begins fittingly, with a reference to now-defunct production company Orion pictures (RoboCop, Terminator), then takes us to Norwalk, C.A.'s Golf N' Stuff, where '80's classic The Karate Kid was filmed.

Our hero, Eric Isenhower ("Parks and Recreation"), is typically late, according to his disgruntled boss Jon Lajoie (Taco from "The League), but he puts some shades on a mannequin, and unwittingly transforms the mini golf course into a solo dance party starring cult film star Whitney Moore (Birdemic), who grinds her way around the course, as our hero gives chase. Animated unicorns, prism effects ensue.

"I think the video is fantastic, it really captures the nostalgia and vibe of the sound perfectly, and it's great to work with Brandon, he totally gets the song," Futurecop! tell Spinner. " It really comes through in his visuals, and he enhances the music so well."

Deadmau5 Almost Sets Himself, Club on Fire

Canadian DJ Joel Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, almost set himself and an entire club on fire Friday night, reports the New York Post. The incident occurred at Meatpacking District club Provocateur where the progressive house superstar had erected his trademark gigantic 7-foot mouse head to commemorate his set.

The incendiary event happened while Zimmerman was premiering a new song entitled "The Veldt." During the song he lit an air horn, igniting a huge spark which almost engulfed a celebrity filled crowd -- including model Hillary Rhoda and singer Ciara -- in the blaze. Outside, there were almost 200 people waiting to enter the hotspot.
