The two fellas behind the Butterz blog, Elijah & Skilliam, just launched a fresh new label, which shares its name with their blog, and dropped a mix for the latest podcast featured on the Numbers label website.

In the midst of his current international tour with a fresh lineup, the man behind NY’s Hercules & Love Affair, Andy Butler, spoke with Dazed Digital about some of the finer things in life. The arts, fashion, music, and culture magazine spoke to the disco/house-obsessed DJ/producer about his favorite new music, old music, book, film, eatery, ice cream, and many other quick queries. Check out the whole piece here.

A few weeks before UK bass music DJ/producer Shortstuff releases his latest EP, The Summer of Shortstuff (being released throughout August on three separate 10″s via Ramp), the Blunted Robots co-owner spoke with Sonic Router about his current goings on. The conversation—which happened through AIM—touches on the inspiration for the EP’s title, what the tunes on Summer will sound like, and a short bit about the artwork. There’s also a release party August 6 for Shortstuff’s new record, and you can check out the whole interview here.

The man whose photography has nearly come to define the electronic music producers and record labels throughout the UK (and even on into the States a bit), Shaun Bloodworth, has just released a new film for free viewing on his website. The project, entitled Minds Locked Together, was commissioned by BBC1’s Mary Anne Hobbs (pictured above) to show during her performance at Sonar 2010. In Bloodworth’s own words, “The film really is a document of life in Sheffield, based around the electronic music scene, but it’s also about the transformation of an empty venue into a place to experience a specific musical event. Of course, it features performers, but this is a celebration of the unsung heroes: the promoters and paying audience.” The mix of tunes behind the photographer-cum-director’s piece is by Grievous Angel, and there are a few special appearances throughout the 15-minute flick from veteran DJ/radio personalities like Hobbs and David Rodigan. You can check out the trailer for the movie below, or just watch the whole thing here.

Australian synth-loving indie-pop trio Cut Copy has recently put the finishing touches on its as-yet-untitled third LP, which will be coming sometime in early 2011 with help from Modular.

New York acid-house/techno don Abe Duque has been around for what’s now verging on two decades, so it’s certainly about time the veteran DJ/producer is now releasing a double-album showcasing both his live mixing prowess and his repertoire of old-school acid tunes. The first disc, entitled Live, is a recreation of Duque’s early DJ sets at New York’s Limelight club for his Abuse Industries nights, which helped launch the tunesmith into his current position of musical notoriety. The second disc, a retrospective compilation of early acid-house tracks from that same Limelight era, along with a few brand-new jams and remixes from Duque, highlights the music that laid some of the groundwork for today’s contemporary club tunes. Live and On Acid will be released August 16 on History, and you can check out the artwork and tracklists below.
