A collaboration between Burial, Four Tet and Thom Yorke was premiered on Rinse FM last night.

The double A-side single was released via Four Tet man Kieran Hebden’s Text Records yesterday featuring tracks, ‘Ego’ and ‘Mirror’, but now sold out the twelve-inch sold out from Bleep.com on the first day.

If you are crazed like our very own Stanley to own a copy of this we’re sure they will repress it due to demand. It’s not as if any other records sell out these days so keep the faith.

Long Beach rapper Nate Dogg passed away last night at the age of 41. Nathaniel Hale made his mark as a rapper on the West Coast scene amongst other stars such as Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Warren G and Dr Dre who recruited him to appear on his debut album, ‘The Chronic’.

Nat Dogg signed to Death Row Records in 1993 and then went on to work for Elektra Records after falling out with the Death Row crew. In 2007 he suffered a stroke and a year later, another that worsened his condition. As yet his cause of death is unknown.

RIP Nate Dogg.
