Brie Larson DJing at the UG Presents with The Embassy: A 2012 Grammy Celebration Saturday night (Feb 11) at The Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood was the place to see and be seen.

Gorillaz have released a video teaser for the Converse powered 'Three Artists, One Song Collaboration' that also features LCD Soundsytems James Murphy and Andre 3000 . The track, "Do Ya Thang" feels out strong impressions from Gorillaz vocally and the tricky highly percussionised elements that have James Murphy written all over it although no real input from Andre 3000 yet (we can expect a verse or chorus!). The group also recently stated they'd never allow Glee to cover any of their [...]

DJ Faroff's mashup of The Beatles & LCD Soundsystem (with a lil Kinks thrown in) is faroff from being new, applying for jobs has been getting in the way of my music research ( know of anything? ), but this is one solid mash. "The Brits Are Playing at the Warehouse" is bringing that Beatles sound forward more than just mashing it up. It takes on LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk Is Playing At My House," which fits just right into this "Get Back" tune. + The Kinks cameo is a nice touch. Make sure [...]

Converse has announced James Murphy is to make an appearance at their upcoming Gorillaz Sound System night.

Since the whole idea of "selling out" is about as relevant and contemporary as woolly mammoths and the printed press, why not make a quid? Besides, nobody buys records anymore and staying in is the new going out. Anyway, that brief - albeit obtuse and conceited - rant aside, this is actually something I'm excited about. Jamie Hewlett (the visual side of Gorillaz) has already designed four trainers for Converse, so the pairing starts to make a lot of sense. To coincide with the four special edition trainers, Converse have [...]

Many guessed that a member of Outkast would fill in at least one of these mysterious silhouettes from an earlier image . Those calling for André 3000 will be very pleased. While it is unfortunate that his counterpart Big Boi will not be participating, former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy should more than suffice as [...]

There were a lot of good tracks sent to our mailbox in the past few weeks (or months) that somehow didn't make it on Nite Versions on time. Here's a bunch of them!
