Dream McLean: New Single 'Weatherman'This year things are going from strength to strength for self-confessed Essex boy Dream Mclean, who is set to drop his debut EP 'Weatherman' on May 22, courtesy of Chase & Status' MTA Records imprint.
Boasting production from Johan Hugo (M.I.A, Santigold), HighFrequency and Jason Farsight, this EP promises to deliver Dream in his rawest and deepest form. From the witty, up-tempo sounds of 'Weatherman', through to the darker uninhibited 'Titanic', to the frank & candid 'White Lies', one thing is for certain - you haven't heard Dream like this before!
With previous support from the likes of Mistajam, Zane Lowe, Annie Mac & Charlie Sloth, Dream Mclean looks set to take the world by storm with his uniquely British sound.
Catch Dream Mclean live on 22nd May at XOYO, London

Neosignal: New Single 'Planet Online'With fans like Amon Tobin, Skrillex and Noisia (who've signed them to their Division Recordings label), you'd expect Neosignal to offer something different - and the German duo (aka drum & bass heroes Phace & Misanthrop aka Florian Harres and Michael Brauninger) certainly don't disappoint. 'Planet Online' is the first single from their debut album, 'Raum und Zeit'.
Shot in a style that borrows from early Nineties children's toy commercials, the video for 'Planet Online' uses toys and analogue objects to create a physical reconstruction of the current online landscape, where current internet brands including Buzzfeed, Facebook, Instagram, 4 Chan, YouTube, Twitter, YouPorn) fight for our online attention. Guest appearances come from Wikileaks, Anonymous, ACTA, The Pirate Bay, Megaupload and beyond.
The video was created by Dent De Cuir, the production company and collective who've previously created videos for Modeselektor and Siriusmo.
Jean-Philippe from Dent De Cuir said: "The idea behind the video was to look at how the next generation are interacting with the internet and are faced with an ever expanding range of content. We employed early 1990's advertising aesthetics so we could recreate the internet by using toys as the media. It was an exciting (and intense) experience that felt like being back in childhood for 2 months"
Neosignal's live show recently had its premiere at London's Fabric and revealed an electronic music outfit bristling with visceral energy.
Their influences range from Can to Kraftwerk and Joy Division to Led Zeppelin, and, while their music has elements of early Krautrock, industrial and 80's EBM (electronic body music), it's powered by 21st century, bass-driven production.'Planet Online' will be released on Division Recordings as a Beatport exclusive on 27 May / 10 June on iTunes and all other platforms. Remixes come from Culprate, Rockwell and Rawtekk.
'Raum und Zeit' will be released on 24 June on Division Recordings.

HVOB: New Ep 'Always Like This'HVOB have only just released their impressive debut album, but the next EP is already on the way: 'Always Like This' is almost a tribute to the Vienna-based electronic duo's current wave of success.
Number 1 in the iTunes Dance Charts in Austria and number 3 in Germany, number 3 in the Beatport Deep House Charts - and HVOB's eponymous debut album continues to win the band critical acclaim in a success story which began when the first snippets appeared on Soundcloud a year ago.
HVOB's Berlin-based label Stil vor Talent, which is no stranger to success, has been delighted by one of its best selling albums to date.
HVOB's third EP is scheduled for release on April 26th - and the track selection seems to be more than mere coincidence. 'Always Like This' is an accurate reflection of the young Vienna electro duo's life right now.Anna Muller and Paul Wallner are "super happy" with the way things are going, busy as they are with all the live appearances in cities like Berlin, Paris and Istanbul, long nights spent in the studio and the formation of new partnerships: alongside Four Artists, Primary Talent one of the world's major booking agencies, will in future be looking after the interests of HVOB.
'Always Like This' is the third single from the album 'HVOB'. HVOB's cover of the track by British indie rock band Bombay Bicycle Club mixes warm synth pads with soft beats, while Anna Muller's distinctive voice puts an entirely new spin on the melancholy of the original.
Oliver Koletzki and andhim have both made remixes of HVOB's interpretation of 'Always Like This': Oliver Koletzki's version is powerful, emotive and melodic, while andhim's shows incredible attention to detail and is intensely deep and original.HVOB, which stands for Her Voice Over Boys, are Anna Muller and Paul Wallner, who formed the duo in spring 2012. Muller (composition, production, vocals) and Wallner (composition and final production) produce intelligent, sophisticated electronic music which is both easy to listen or dance to. The Vienna duo, who favour live on-stage performances with the backing of a drummer, will be appearing at the Donaufestival in Krems, Lower Austria, the Lighthouse Festival (Porec, Croatia), the Pratersauna in Vienna, the Ubel & Gefahrlich in Hamburg and the Ninkasi in Lyon.
