"Full of Light" - Florence + The Machine video/ new single "Spectrum" with Calvin Harris

Florence Welch’s new single ‘Spectrum’ comes complete with a video by the legendary David LaChapelle and a brand new version by Calvin Harris. The world-renowned director’s last music video was in 2007 for Amy Winehouse’s ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’. Five years on, he jumped at the chance to work with another ground-breaking British singer, Florence Welch, on the video at his LA studios recently. "It's a beautiful song that really touched me and inspired me to create imagery that matches its power. ‘Spectrum’ is free of scepticism, irony, and the coldness one finds in a lot of contemporary popular music. It's the opposite – full of light, positivity and authentic joy. I hope that I can do justice to this moving modern classic. David LaChapelle “It was a complete dream to work with David La Chapelle, I collected his books as a teenager, and I fantasised that he would direct the video for spectrum from the moment the song was written, I still can’t believe it actually happened, 
and I'm completely overjoyed that he felt such a connection with the song.” Florence Welch In addition to this exciting collaboration comes a brand new version of ‘Spectrum’ a huge re-work from Calvin Harris as well as remixes from hot new UK act AlunaGeorge and Maya Jane Coles. ‘Spectrum’ will be backed by ‘Breaking Down’ – both taken from new album ‘Ceremonials’. The video for ‘Breaking Down’ follows Florence on her escapades all over the world on tour, as shot and directed by Tabitha Denholm. Watch the video here:

Sounds of the Summer. Get ready for Swedish DJ Sensation Avicii!

22-year old Swedish sensation Tim Bergling, aka Avicii, who has absolutely conquered the dance world in the past 12 months following the enormous success of his chart-topping Global anthem “Levels” (2.4 million sales worldwide and rising), had his brand new future smash “Silhouettes” released on June 10th through Universal Music. During the recent Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Avicii was joined onstage and behind the decks by none other than Madonna who proclaimed the young Swede as an amazing DJ. The Queen of Pop rocked out behind the booth to the sounds of her latest single, "Girl Gone Wild" smiling, singing along and laughing with Avicii, who has since just completed official mixes for Madonna’s “Girls Gone Wild” as well as Lenny Kravitz’s “Superlove”. The success continues to grow with the news that Bergling has also just been confirmed as the face of the forthcoming new Ralph Lauren campaign/range: http://www.dancingastronaut.com/2012/04/avicii-ralph-lauren-denim-supply-marketing-campaign/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook.

He has also just announced his first massive UK gigs at London’s O2 Arena on June 4th and the Dublin O2 Arena.
