James Blake hat einen Song von D'Angelo für den Radiosender BBC 1 neu abgemischt. "Left & Right" stammt von der wegweisenden Platte "Voodoo", die der R'n'B-Soulster im Jahre 2000 veröffentlichte. Zuletzt machte Michael Eugene Archer, so sein bürgerlicher Name, auf sich aufmerksam, als er  Soundgarden s Grunge-Klassiker "Black Hole Sun" neu interpretierte ( motor.de berichtete ). James Blake hingegen veröffentlichte kurz vor Jahreswende nicht nur seine neue EP "Love What Happened Here" ( motor.de berichtete ), auch gab er eine sehr ansprechende Visualisierung zum Track " A Case Of You " heraus. Für "Left & Right" hat der Produzent nicht nur sein Pesudonym Harmonimix, unter dem er auch schon Snoop Dogg oder Destiny's Child remixte, angenommen. Er verleiht dem Stück mit schemenhaften Bass-Effekten und verzerrten Stimmen den typisch Blake'schen Sound. Hier könnt ihr euch einen auditiven Eindruck machen: D'Angelo - "Left & Right"  (James Blake Remix) James Blake gehört ohne Frage zu den wichtigsten Künstlern des Jahres 2011. Nachdem seinen EPs "CMYK" und "Klavierwerke" auf R&S; Records veröffentlicht wurden, folgte zu Beginn des Jahres sein hochgelobtes Debüt , das auch in unseren Top 20 Alben 2011 einen Spitzenplatz ergattern konnte. Der aus London stammende Blake studierte gemeinsam mit Katy B. an der Goldsmiths University of London populäre Musik. Im motor.de-Interview sprach er über Vertrauen, die Freiheit des Musikkonsums und den Rummel um seine eigene Person. Neben  Nicolas Jaar  gehört er zu den inoffiziellen Vertretern der  entschleunigten elektronischen Musik  2011.

If K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” created for the 2010 FIFA World Cup set the template for what Coca-Cola could do with music, brace yourself for Ronson">Mark Ronson’s “Move to the Beat” campaign. Ronson, along with Topspin's Ian Rogers and Coca Cola senior VP Wendy Clark, discussed the track, its different versions (including one with Katy B) and the feature-length documentary based on the song.

More announcements for the line up to F.I.B, and this ones a biggie—the newly reformed New Order (possibly with Peter Hook, possibly not..) have been announced as a festival headliner. New Order have had a career spanning 3 decades, with hits in each, from Blue Monday the (at the time) biggest ever selling 12” that influenced a million techno records, to classic 90s football anthem World In Motion , right the way into the noughties with hits such as Crystal . The band haven’t played together since 2007, and have vowed to play a greatest hits set, including ...

The Sheffield lads hit up BBC’s Live Lounge and performed a cover of fellow Brit Katy B’s “Katy On A Mission”. If that sounds like a very stange choice for a cover song, give a listen above, and you’ll see that the Monkeys perfectly put their old shool guitar rock western vibe over proceedings. This would not sound out of place at all on Suck It and See . Well done. Arctic Monkeys - “Katy On A Mission” (Katy B Cover)
