Dj Shadow And Calvin Harris

[Dukesy 0]

Dj Shadow has relaunched his website, Djshadow.com, with a new digital download store offering his back catalogue direct from the artist - by-passing labels and retailers.

 

The store represents the first time an artist signed to a major label has bypassed the traditional sales routes to offer their music direct to their fans. Aside from his better known releases, fans can also find exclusives, remixes and live sets. You can visit the store at http://www.djshadow.com/

Calvin Harris Plays Giant Human Synthesiser

 

Calvin Harris has performed a version of his new single 'Ready For The Weekend' on a unique human synthesiser. The instrument employs 16 bikini clad models and a new electricity-conducting body ink developed by students at the Royal College of Art, London.

 

The new ink, when painted on the skin, allows a current to be passed through the body without causing an electric shock. When the performers touch, the connection completes a circuit, triggering a sound.

 

The project is the result of a collaboration between Calvin Harris, his label Columbia and four masters students from the RCA's Industrial Design Engineering programme.
