Disco-influenced house DJ/producer Marco Niemerski (a.k.a. Tensnake) has prepared a new box set and digital single to follow up last year’s massive “Coma Cat,” entitled Tensnake Live + (pictured above) and Something About You, respectively. The Vinyl Factory will bring us Niemerski’s box set—complete with two new tracks, three exclusive edits, and a mix CD—on June 6, with the single following closely from Hamburg-based house-crossover label Mirau on June 24. Something About You, which is said to include “all the hallmarks of a Tensnake anthem,” per its press release, features the title track, a radio edit, and a remix from Simian Mobile Disco member Jas Shaw.

Intimacy Records label head and Leeds-reared techno mainstay Paul Woolford is set to drop an EP on Carl Craig’s Planet E imprint. Woolford’s first record for the label will usher in a new era of releases for Planet E from the likes of Reference, Ezana Harris, Urban Tribe, and many more. Out May 24, this two-track single fits in sonic unison with the techno powerhouse’s back catalog, each track belting out 303 melodies and heavy rhythms. “Achilles” feels like an archetypal Planet E track, as driving kicks punch through the low-end and a rolled-off acid arpeggio slowly builds over the track’s hefty seven minutes. “Razor Burn” is pushed by thick tribal rhythms, swaddled in filter-delayed synths that build to a squelchy acid lead before dropping back into the main rhythm. You can preview an edit of “Achilles” while you check out the artwork and tracklist below, and grab the EP when it hits stores and digital retailers on May 24.

With two buzz-worthy videos floating aroundYouTube for the past year or so, it’s a little surprising that French dream-pop artist Matthieu Le Berre (a.k.a. Vezelay) hasn’t been picked up by a label sooner. However, with the coming release of the Lyre EP on Planet Mu, that is set to change. Lyre, which clocks in at six songs total, is a continuation of the sound hinted at in his earlier material: deep immersive soundscapes led by Le Berre’s resigned falsetto. Lyre doesn’t come out until June 20, but in the meantime you can stream “Sedative” and check out the artwork and tracklisting below. Impatient types can head over to Planet Mu for a preview of the entire EP.

A:
1. Sedative
2. Demure
3. Archetype

B:

2. Homeboy
3. Coma

We’ll admit it: When the UK’s enigmatic Forest Swords project dropped its dystopic, lo-fi opus Dagger Paths last year, we weren’t exactly first to embrace its jangly vibes, but we did manage to fall in love with those six melancholic tracks in time to add the record to our Honorable Mentions of 2010 list. Now, you can count us among the growing mass of listeners fiending for whatever comes next from Forest Swords, a small taste of which just arrived today. On June 20, London imprint No Pain in Pop will re-release six remastered demo tracks that were previously only available as a limited CD-R, calling it the Fjree Feather EP. All proceeds from that release will go to benefit the Japanese Red Cross and its tsunami recovery efforts. Pre-orders for Forest Swords’ reissued EP on (limited-edition white) vinyl, and all digital purchases, can be made here. We’ve also embedded two of Fjree Feather‘s tunes for you to stream, below.

“Kaibasa Claps”

“Trust Your Blood”

Network Awesome is just one of a few places on the internet where you can find a streamable version of the classic Jennie Livingston film Paris Is Burning (we’ve got our own right here ), which documents ball culture in New York. But since they’re rolling theirs out bit by bit, the Queen of ballroom, DJ MikeQ, has prepared a mix to coincide with their campaign. Additionally, the internet-TV channel sat down with Mike, who provided us with this amazing podcast a few months back, to get his thoughts on the film. You can download his mix in MP3 form, and read the interview in its entirety here.
