Nearly three years after the release of its breakthrough sophomore album, In Ghost Colours, Australian pop outfit Cut Copy has finished work on a follow-up full-length, entitled Zonoscope. The record is said to represent the band in its “purest form,” which, according to frontman Dan Whitford, goes a little sumthin’ like this: “All the way along we had this weird vision of a tropical, jungle, tribal sound. A place or an idea that we wanted to reach with some of the songwriting; to explore a looping, hypnotic trance and revise the whole palette of what Cut Copy was about.” And if you’d like to take a gander at the six-month recording process that birthed Zonoscope, we’ve embedded a two-part documentary by Krozm shot in Cut Copy’s Melbourne studio, below. Zonoscope will be released on February 8 via Modular.

House icon Dennis Ferrer recently dropped a brand-new EP on his own Objektivity label, a four-track record called The Red Room. Along with a radio edit of the original, the release features mixes of “The Red Room” from Detroit’s Kyle Hall, a collaborative production by The Martinez Brothers and Jerome Sydenham, and a dub edit by Ferrer himself. You can listen to bits of the record on Soundcloud here, and get the release via Beatport here.

To be released later this month via Amsterdam’s Rush Hour imprint, Frictionalism 1994-2009 Remixes Pt. 1/2 is the first part of a 12″ series featuring tunes from Anthony “Shake” Shakir‘s monumental Frictionalism compilation album remixed by hotly tipped contemporary producers. The first record holds two tracks: a deep, shuffling reinterpretation of “Assimilated” by FaltyDL (pictured above) and a galactic funk treatment to “Detroit State of Mind” by Ireland’s Space Dimension Controller. You can get a bit more info on the release, check out snippets of each tune, and pre-order your copy here.
