On April 3rd, UK electronic pioneers Paul and Phil Hartnoll, aka Orbital, return with their first new album in eight years. Titled Wonky, the duo’s eighth album was recorded in their Brighton home with production by landmark electronic producer Mark “Flood” Ellis (U2, Nine Inch Nails). Described as “timeless and contemporary” by its press release, the two brothers conceived the project amidst their triumphant return to the live scene, which has included appearances at both Coachella and Glastonbury. For the past year, they’ve been testing out the new material in their DJ sets.

“That was really beneficial to our writing,” Phil states in the same press release. “Trying out tracks in front of audiences, listening through their ears, getting responses. That’s been a really good string to our bow.”

Although, the album wasn’t too hard to string together. “The whole process of this album has really been a case of the book writing itself,” Paul continues. Wonky reportedly follows “an emotional and musical ‘road map’” orchestrated by the two brothers, which altogether “puts a vividly modern spin on their signature blend of richly melodic, deeply emotive electronica.”

To support its release, Orbital has announced a series of UK dates come April. Check out those below, in addition to a video for the previously released “Never”, just one of many “deeply emotive” cuts off Wonky.

Wonky arrives in the U.S. on April 3rd. A record label has yet to be announced.

A first of its kind for the Mother City, a collision of beats will take place at the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival (CTEMF) this weekend when SA’s greatest electronic acts showcase their music there.

“It’s a concept originating from major electronic events around the world, from Sonar in Barcelona to the Movement Music Festival in Detroit, and the festival spirit will now ignite Cape Town,” says organiser David Ireton.

“These are culturally advancing cities and we feel Cape Town is ready. Electronic music is always the side floor music and never the main at an event, but we are here to show it is ready to stand by itself.”

Artists to be featured include Dank, Remy Gold, Goldfish, Ivan Turanjanin, Pascal and Pearce, Markus Wormstorm, Felix Laband, Mr Sakitumi and The Grrrl, Sibot and Kid Fonque.

However, to cover as many genres as possible to cater for a broader audience, organisers have included the hip hop acts AKA and PH Fat as well as the house acts Black Coffee and Jullian Gomes.

Festival-goers can experience the views of Cape Town from the roof of venue, The Breakwater parking area at V&A Waterfront.

The festival, in association with Red Bull Studio, will also host info sessions and workshops from today in a build-up to the weekend.

Heading the line-up of speakers is Black Coffee with Amaru Da Costa (Soulistic Music) and Dave Mac (BPM & Muse). They will focus on the business and knowledge-sharing aspects of electronic music.



Ireton stresses: “It doesn’t matter what colour, race or age you are. We want to put on a world-class event with world-class production as we are promoting tourism, too. As time goes by we want people to fly from overseas just to attend the event.”



• Tickets: R100 for a day pass, R200 for a weekend pass. Times: Friday: 3pm to 2am, Saturday: 11am to 2am, Sunday: 11am to 11pm. For line-up info: www.ctemf.com or www. facebook. com/ctemf or www. twitter.com/ctemf

Today, emerging music sensation, Angelina Lavo, unleashes her latest hit, "Jealous Girls." The party anthem was produced by Grammy-award winner and hip-hop phenomenon Omen (Lil Wayne, Drake, Fabolous) and Audio BLK (Electrik Music Orchestra.) Whether you are getting ready for a night out, just arrived at the party, or are getting down at the after party, "Jealous Girls" is the perfect track for the empowered, sexy and independent.

"Angelina's work ethic and passion is truly inspiring," said Omen. "It is also the key to making a name for herself."

Angelina Lavo is a pop ingénue with a Russian edge and a sensual sound. Lavo harnessed her craft in Russia, but recently hit a chord with the American audience. The US was first introduced to Angelina with her YouTube track, Space Cowboy, reaching nearly a half-million views in just a few months, surprising even the newcomer herself. Her subsequent single, "Circus Act," garnered the attention of hundreds of thousands of viewers world-wide. Angelina is grateful and humbled that her fans found her so early and will continue to keep them coming back for more. 

"I am thrilled to introduce the world to Jealous Girls," said Angelina Lavo. "It is a powerful, upbeat, song with a feminine touch and a great addition to your party play list."

To check out "Jealous Girls" on iTunes, please visit http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jealous-girls-single/id512012405

Angelina has a dynamic team behind her strong talent and vocals. She is collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Omen at Stadium Red recording studio on her EP, as well as Miami-based producer Lu Diaz (Pitbull, DJ Khaled, Jason Mraz, J-Lo) and songwriter Jillian Gottlieb (Kat Deluna). Her third single, "Cotton Candy" will feature hip-hop heavyweight Twista.

       

The industry support has paid off as Angelina Lavo's initial single "Circus Act" is on rotation on KTU, recently hit #16 on Reverb Nation, and is continuing to climb. Her music has taken off on YouTube and her debut EP album "Risque," dropping this April, will introduce music fans to a new sound and talented pop artist.
