Well, it looks like Winter has well and truly arrived with gale force winds and torrential rain battering my window like a gaggle of pissed delinquents on a Friday night. Thankfully it's given me the excuse to stay inside and source some incredibly hot new tunes, and this week has potentially been the best yet, with not one but TWO official Blog Burners! WOW
Blog Burner #1:
If anyone went near a radio late last week you may well have been blasted in the face with this achingly beautiful but equally heart wrenching collaboration between Crystal Castles and Robert Smith of The Cure. Describing this song as powerful would be a MASSIVE understatement as the addition of Smith's voice makes it easily one of the tunes of the year. The type of tune you share a passionate kiss in the pouring rain to.

Blog Burner #2:
So, Daft Punk are officially back. After producing N.E.R.D's new single 'Hypnotize' they've finally released something from the official Tron soundtrack and it doesn't disappoint, although for the people who were expecting some type of pop redux like 'One More Time' then you will be. 'Derezzed' is a slamming electro number which fits the film like a Phillip's screwdriver to Tron's last Bugle head.

Here's a video for the song featuring Daft Punk doing some very unconvincing head nodding:
Next up Kris Menace gets the remix treatment from Henrik B on his new single 'Walking On The Moon'. We first blogged this tune back in February so it's nice to see it finally getting a full release. Here Henrik takes the uplifting vocal segment of the original and spreads it across a beautiful piano lead soundscape, eventually breaking into a rather unnecessary electro house rhythm. First half more than makes up for it though.

Finally, Speaker Junk (Herve & Trevor Loveys) have essentially come out of nowhere with their new single 'We Can Be'- a trance monster with the vocal equivalent to accompany it. Not quite sure where I sit with this at the moment, I guess sometimes Herve just gets tired of making 4min electro dittys and wants to release his inner Tiesto. Nice piano though.
