Dutch music and arts festival TodaysArt is set to overtake The Hague’s city center with its sixth edition of audio/visual installments and live musical performances the weekend of September 24 and 25. Today, the forward-thinking curators of TodaysArt 2010 shared some finer details on the upcoming festival’s performers and artists. On the music side of things, producers Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit, Conrad Schnitzler, Andy Votel, and Klimek are among the first headlining performers to be announced, and performance-art troupe Gob Squad and architect/installation collective [The User] will be adorning the festival grounds with visual wonders as they share conceptual pieces based around the heady topics of digital culture, anonymity, and time. You can snag early-bird tickets for TodaysArt 2010 here.

XLR8R fave Ramona Gonzales, known to the masses as Nite Jewel (or perhaps as the frontwoman of the band Nite Jewel), is offering up her cover of Prophet’s ’80s synth-funk jam “Tonight” for free on the Nite Jewel website. Simply sign up on the site or in the widget below, and the MP3 will be sent directly to your email. Seeing as Gonzales name-checks Lisa Lisa as an influence, and put together this stunner for XLR8R with Dam-Funk, it’s hardly surprising that she’d take this turn. If you’re curious about comparing Nite Jewel’s version with Prophet’s, check out the (waaaayyyy trebly and poorly ripped) original here.

Disco-and-funk-obsessed octet !!! delivered a brand-new morsel of burning dancefloor fodder today. The groove merchant’s new single is called “AM/FM,” and comes directly from the Brooklyn-based outfit’s upcoming fourth album, Strange Weather, Isn’t It?. !!!’s new song is more or less what you’d expect from a band whose reputation is built on funky, repetitious basslines, wah-guitar riffs, and profuse amounts of percussion, which is certainly not a bad thing. Stream the new track over on Pitchfork before Strange Weather, Isn’t It? is released August 24 via Warp.

This Saturday, LA’s globally minded beat-making duo Nguzunguzu takes its club-ready bass bumping tunes up the I-5 (or by plane, train, or ocean liner for all we know) to perform a headlining DJ set at San Francisco’s forward-thinking dance party Icee Hot (which actually just won the “Best New Club Night” award from the SF Weekly). The duo made an exclusive mix to mark the occasion, and to show party-goers exactly what kind of stellar tunes Nguzunguzu will bring upstate for the night. The mix is loaded with unreleased and exclusive jams, including new tunes from DJ Vielo, DJ Cratera, and Nguzunguzu themselves. Stream and download the mix below, and don’t miss Nguzunguzu’s Icee Hot performance this Saturday, May 22 at 222 Hyde.

The Glasgow denizens and post-rock progenitors of Mogwai are set to add another couple pages to their six-album, 13-plus-year musical history. On August 24, Mogwai’s three-night residency at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg in April 2009 will be turned into Burning: 45 minutes of crushingly loud and preciously subtle orchestrations performed over eight contemporary classic songs and captured on film by Vincent Moon and Nathanael Le Scouarnac of La Blogoteque’s Take-Away Shows. The official live concert film comes with an accompanying live full-length, entitled Special Moves, which expands on the forthcoming footage by three songs. While you wait patiently for the release date, get your hands on a song from Burning, “New Paths to Helicon Pt. 1,” and watch the full trailer below.

Long-standing LA glitch-hop outfit The Glitch Mob finally put the finishing touches on its highly anticipated debut album, Drink the Sea, and will release the beat-heavy beast next Tuesday, May 25 via Glass Air. A while back, we premiered the first single from Drink the Sea, “Drive It Like You Stole It,” and now we’re pleased to bring you the exclusive stream of the forthcoming record in its entirety. Get your blap on and check the album artwork after the jump.
