Chase & Status have been ON… FIRE… recently and let’s just say the fire brigade haven’t got a chance against this inferno. Especially now with a massive freshly thrown Molotov cocktail fuelling the fire in the shape of their new single “Hypest Hype” featuring Tempa T, and guess who has got exclusive rights to fan the fire with the first play of their new video on the 7th of October? VidZone of course!

So watch it and fall in love, then you can download the track FOR FREE from www.chaseandstatus.co.uk on the 8th of November. Which is about as nice as you can be… Isn’t it? The answer is yes. Even Zane Lowe thinks so, so much so he has been his “HOTTEST RECORD IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW”.

Wow, that has made me overheat just writing about so much hotness!

You know the Manic Street Preachers, everybody does, right? Well they are back and they are on usual blistering top form. The new single “(It’s Not War) Just The End Of Love” is taken from their 10th… Yes 10th! Studio album “Postcards From A Young Man” and guess what… We have an exclusive video from behind the scenes of the shooting of the single’s video!

So what you should probably do… and this is just a suggestion… but I think a good suggestion… is… Go check out both the video then the behind the scenes footage then all the other Manics videos (of which we have loads!) on VidZone, then wait until the 13th of September and buy the single, then the week after on the 20th of September, Go buy the album. Then I’m sure there will be a tour… so you can go see them live.

Good suggestion heh?
Enjoy!

Do I need to introduce Underworld? I would like to think that I don’t. They aren’t just the ones that did that one that went “Lager lager lager shouting”; they are producers that have shaped the dance music scene for the last 25 years, albeit with a couple of breaks here and there.

So, we have the exclusive of their new video, Always Loved a Film, and I have to say the whole office is a fan of this video. Imagine footage of your local skate park attendees but with a twist; to find out the twist, well you can probably see from the screen grabs, but get yourself over to VidZone to check… it… out.

The track is from their new album, Barking, which is out on the 13th of September and is destined to be quite a smash with collaborations with everyone from Mark Knight to High Contrast.

Enjoy, and as always, tell us what you think.

“If Van Gogh had heard this, he’d have cut off his other ear out of fear”…a quote from Drum & Bass superstars Pendulum when describing Noisia!

Noisia are the latest superpower from the world of Drum & Bass and 2010 should be a huge year for the trio comprised of Nik Roos, Thijs de Vlieger and Martijn van Sonderen. Despite recently working on productions for The Prodigy, Kanye West, Moby, Hadouken! and Lupe Fiasco, Noisia have found time to release their debut album ‘Split The Atom’ which showcases their incredible talent by bringing the heaviest beats to the table and we’re not even kidding that it will knock the entire music world off its feet!

So when we got wind of Noisia (with Mayhem ft. KRS One) working with the virtual design genius which is Alexander Lehmann (of District 9 Movie fame), we went crazy to get our mitts on their “Exodus” video. Lucky us and luckier you because we can now confirm that VidZone is exclusively bringing PlayStation 3 users the world music video premiere on Thursday at 3pm, a video phenomenon which has taken 3 YEARS to make!!! What can you expect? CGI robots, planes, outer space and chaos of epic proportions. Or maybe it’s easier you check out a sneaky preview in the PlayStation Home Bowling Alley.

‘Split The Atom’ album out now:www.noisia.nl| www.alexanderlehmann.net.

Another New Year’s resolution is to try and improve my titles… Another resolution failed already… Damn!

Never mind… I have news! News of an exclusive nature!

You know a band called Phoenix? Well you should. They are French, they are cool, and they make some awesome music. We have an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW VIDEO available on VidZone!! It has loads of behind the scenes footage of them recording their latest album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” with their producer Philippe Zdar (My favourite producer of all time btw…)

We also have all the videos from the album, for your viewing pleasure.

So… go buy the album, watch the videos, and marvel that you are the first people to see how they made the album.

Thank you so much for your time.

Ben
