A-Trak has released a Nike + mix.

The series, which has been done by Aesop Rock in the past, is a 45 minute track “dedicated to joggers”. The turntablist/DJ/producer said of the mix:

“I don’t really run, but I got excited by the musical challenge…I had to weave sounds together so the runner didn’t get interrupted or distracted.”

Zack De La Rocha has teamed up with Jon Theodore for a new project.

The Rage Against The Machine frontman and the former Mars Volta drummer are collectively known as One Day As A Lion. The record has been described as “a stripped down attempt to realise this sentiment in sound” referring to the photograph of the same name which bears the legend: “It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.”

The EP will be released on July 22nd on Anti- Records.

Justice are reported to be the producers for the next Chili Peppers album.

A report in The Sun has claimed that is next for the French duo, though quite why The Sun knows this and no-one else in the music industry does is anyone’s guess. And, er, that’s it.
