Election eve news roundup

election400

- Dave DJ’d at the reportedly very hot Rites Of Spring Haiti benefit on Sunday night, along with Bjork, Tyondai Braxton and others.  Haven’t seen a list of what he played so far but some photos have surfaced.

- New shows continue to be added.  Academy 2, Manchester on 7 July and The Wiltern, LA on 24 September, to name two.  See Tour Dates for more.

- Amber provides vocals on dubstep artist Rusko’s new record, Hold On [listen on YouTube]

- The Deradoorian song, You Carry The Deed, has been remixed by Hidden Cat [info and 128kbps mp3] [320kbps mp3 (via Hidden Cat myspace blog)].  (Note - if you put it after Mind Raft in iTunes and set your playback to crossfade, you’ll be mixing like a pro.)

- Record label Domino has taken steps to remove some clips of Dirty Projectors’ Coachella performance from YouTube.  The clips were of full songs, professionally filmed, reputedly taken from a webcast (see Pitchfork).  Let’s hope this is in anticipation of an official release.

- The Coachella show opened with I Will Truck [passable YouTube audience clip] and was watched by Jay-Z and Beyonce.

- Angel played a rare solo show on Monday and Nat has lined up five solo U.S. dates this month.
