Flume from Sydney, Australia has just released his stunning self-titled album and we've got it in stock now!

At the tender age of 20 Flume's music has been described by Fader as “lush”, Fact has given him their props, and Rolling Stone has stated that he has "an LP thatʼs scarily close to perfect.”

“A post-modern masterpiece of aural euphoria comprising works both designed for loud sound systems and detailed listening alike. From soothing waves of deep space arpeggios to showcasing the beauteous talents of vocal collaborators Chet Faker, Moon Holiday and Jezzabell Doran, Flume's self-titled album will transcend you into the future.”

Order you copy of Flume's album now to experience his amazing sound!

UK based FACT magazine has reported that Glaswegian beatmaker and DJ Hudson Mohawke has just been signed to Kanye West's label as a producer.

HudMo's management company have confirmed that he “signed to Very GOOD Beats as a producer this week.” Very GOOD Beats is the production component of G.O.O.D. Music that also counts Hit-Boy among its roster. However, the producer is still signed to Warp for his artist releases.

G.O.O.D Music's recent album Cruel Summer featured HudMo's production throughout it. It's a great album for summer listening. We're looking forward to more G.O.O.D. Music and HudMo collaborations in the future! Check out the Cruel Summer album here in the meantime.

Disturbed fans will be pleased to know that frontman David Draiman's side project band Device has announced the release of their self-titled debut album as April 5th.

We're told this debut is not a metal album; Draiman says, “it's influenced by early industrial rock (ie. Nine Inch Nails, Ministry) and has a dark electronic vibe. At the same time, these are big, anthemic, and intensely melodic songs. It's futuristic roc­k.”

Whatever sound it is we're excited because the album features guest artists such as Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath, Serj Tankian from System Of A Down, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, and Halestorm's Lizzy Hale and Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine.

Pre-order Device's debut album now. Make sure to check out their Facebook page and Twitter to stay in the loop with news about the band. Rumour has it there is a tour on the way too!

Justin Timberlake is back, new song featuring Jay-Z!

This just in (excuse the pun :P), we were pretty excited to hear Justin Timberlake's new song featuring Jay-Z, Suit and Tie, which is produced by Timbaland. Check out the song and let us know what you think of it?

Justin made a statement on his own website that his upcoming album entitled The 20/20 Experience will be released sometime this year and he has had the best time making this album since June last year!

He added: “The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career… Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process. What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way.”

JT's previous two albums were phenomenal so we can't wait to see what other tricks he has up his sleeves!

Rage Against The Machine released their debut self-titled album 20 years ago, along with its controversial album cover. I'm not sure if they foresaw that the album would become the commercial success that it did. The album is ranked at #368 on Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 albums of all time!

Twenty years on the Anniversary Editions have been released. We've managed to get a very limited amount of the Rage Against The Machine – XX 20th Anniversary (2CD/DVD). Once these are sold there won't be anymore!

Be quick and add Rage Against The Machine's 2CD/DVD anniversary edition to your trolley today!
