Devil Sold His Soul have signed to Century Media Records.

To celebrate the signing, they have also announced two UK dates for November. Make sure you keep your eyes open for more UK dates in 2010 which will no doubt showcase the material from their new album which is set for a first-half-of-the-year release. The tourdates are:

Rolo Tomassi have confirmed they are working with Diplo.

The Sheffield band have flown to Los Angeles to work with the Philly DJ/Producer who they met at SXSW in March this year. The story is Diplo was already a fan of the group and asked them if they could work together after their set in Austin. The record is due out in March 2010.
