From Felix Cartal’s forthcoming debut artist album of the same name, “Popular Music” has a soft female vocal (that seems to loop the same lyrics and melody) and a production that blends in nicely with Cartal’s peers. In fact, if you see any of them in the next few months, they’ll probably be playing this track.

Muse has had quite a year or two in North America, but it’s been a long time coming. With the release of The Resistance, they’ve gone from a veritable secret fave over here to playing SNL and having their song used in promos for Palladia (that HD music channel from MTV). Under Review chronicles the bands rise from alt rock college band from southwest England across five albums progrock megastars with rare live footage, interviews with past managers, producers, engineers and “close confidants” and other visual goodies. In short, expect few black holes and many revelations. (Ha!) Even if you’re a casual Muse fan, this film should have you believing in their epic powers and rock star worthiness. Under Review drops on March 23 and you can pre-order the DVD here.

Cards on the decks, we haven’t heard this comp yet, but the cover is so cool, we had to share. Also, the tracklisting (below) isn’t so bad either. Agoria is the DJ name of Frenchman Sebastien Devaud. He’s been releasing music for more than a decade but has kept a pretty low pro outside of Europe. He might not have been aware, but he didnt need to take the name of our beloved Balance series literally, yet he has:
The concept of both CDs is all about balance. Literally. In my mind a balance is not a middle position; it’s a perfect equilibrium. I’m trying to be as close as possible to this idea. I have tried to find this fine line where the balance is just right.
So what you’re saying is, you’re not a middleman? A neutral party? Swiss? Works for us.

Gui Buratto treats Massive Attack (appropriately) with a great deal of respect. The only downside is that this remix lacks that Buratto staccato, that dirty funk he usually imbues on his work. Still, it stands strong and varied throughout its eight minutes. If you just can’t wait until the Tuesday release of Heligoland, MA’s new LP, you can log in with your twitter account to watch the collection of short films made for the album and its precedent Splitting the Atom EP. Download the “Paradise” remix below.

In many ways, Rusko is begging for you to hate on him. With his ironic mullet-ish haircut, his appeal with the ladies, and his indefatigable DJing, this guy is just too good to be real. The British former d’n'b guy has collabo’d with the best – MIA, Santigold, Diplo, on and on – and on his debut album, O.M.G., Crookers, Gucci Mane and even Amber from the Dirty Projectors drop in for a the al Rusko treatment. The disc drops in May and its lead single, “Woo Boost,” streets this month. Rusko tours with Major Lazer starting in March.

Fenech-Soler are getting a Groove Armada boost this season but last fall they had a joint of their own that wasn’t too bad. “Lies” gets a Phantom’s Revenge remix up on this track and is shifty enough to satisfy your French touch and Balaeric beat sweet tooth.
