Ex Radio 1 DJ, Alex Metric & Stadium-House superstar, Steve Angello come together for 'Open Your Eyes' - a seven minute masterpiece which will undoubtedly go all the way through to Ibiza. Expect a big name, ex-band member vocalist on this soon as well...

I'm not going to lie, this week's Blog Burner title was exceptionally difficult to decide, and after hearing 'Open Your Eyes' your probably wondering just what could compete with it. We've already blogged David Lynch's 'Good Day Today' twice in as many months, and here it comes again. This time it's Underworld who give it the remix treatment, transforming it into an 8 minute epic which echoes '2 Months Off'. Deep & Balearic this is Underworld at their very best with the stems of an incredible original.

It was always destined to be a single, the stand out cut from Magnetic Man's debut album and a certified 'moment' during their live sets, 'Getting Nowhere' features John Legend crooning over a beat reminiscent of Massive Attack's seminal 'Teardrops'. Here Skream maintains the ethereal quality of the original, dubbing it out with a Burial esque drum-pattern and icy synths.

Finally, Holy Ghost! prep the release of their debut album with this rather colourful, 80's inspired Disco number called 'Do It Again'. Available for free download from their website they've managed to melt the buoyancy of Orange Juice with the eccentricity of Prince, creating a mid-tempo groover which is essentially a DFA wet dream.
