Robyn teams up with Christian Falk to deliver a emo sprinkle pop track and of course a bag of remixes too. Take note of the ‘Dream On’ remix video… Robyn’s videos are always visually stunning and this one is MIND stunning.

Guru Josh Project / Infinity 2008 / Klaas Vocal Edit

////////// OK OK! The first time my ears were bombarded with this track I was like “WTF is this?!?” and actually I still am thinking that. This is where you truly see a divided from UK vs. USA. “Infinity” is already sitting on the charts in London but I doubt will we’ll see it live here in the USA.

It seem like you Europeans are laid back and don’t care if it smells like cheese, as long as it puts a grin on your face then party on! Right?!?

I’ve heard this sample before? Where? Let me know party people ilovedjme[@]gmail[dot]com.

This year’s head to head Battle for World Supremacy was won by the UK’s very own DJ Switch who beat France’s DJ Nelson using his high quality scratching and intimidation skills to bag himself $10,000 of cash from Ortofon, the DMC Gold Disc Award and a RANE TTM57 mixer.

Frenchman DJ Fly scooped the solo title at the comp, taking home Technics Gold turntables and mixer and $10,000. [Mixmag]

A 25 year old Scottish man collapsed and died in his Ibiza hotel room last weekend after over-dosing on alcohol and drugs, the Glasgow Herald reported this week.

The Herald said Paul Burns was the 9th holidaymaker to die in San Antonio this season and the third fatality in a week, prompting a despairing response from local tourism chief Jose Ramon Serra.

23 year old Brit Michael Robertson died in the budget resort two weeks previously after also overdosing on ecstasy, alcohol and cocaine, two months after a 19 year old Brit died in July after taking 7 ecstasy pills and cocaine (according to the Daily Mail). Read More @ CityBeat Radio

Ecstasy could become a class B drug next year after findings of drug bodies and police suggest that it is at “the bottom of the scale of harm.”

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) have told MPs that the third most popular illegal drug in the UK is several thousands times less harmful than its class A counterparts such as heroin.

There are less than 10 ecstacy-related deaths in the UK each year.

The ACMD will carry out an evidence session next Friday, 26 September, but a consequent decision will not be made until next year.

Drugs Minister Vernon Coaker claims he will oppose the move to downgrade the drug. [mixmag]
