Porter Robinson & Mat Zo – Easy (Original Mix) [Preview]
In a bit of a dream team scenario, Porter Robinson & Mat Zo have exposed the first preview of their new collaboration, entitled "Easy." Pete Tong got the first play on this one last Friday on BBC Radio 1, but we also noticed Mat Zo played an extended version during his TATW 450 set over the weekend in Bangalore. Is this the tune of 2012? Maybe, maybe not. We can, however, confirm from the two minute clip here that "Easy" is a well-produced, feel good, and universally catchy track. We don't have specific details on the release, but sounds like it will be out on Ministry of Sound around the first of year.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs premieres his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1
Orlando Higginbottom is the eccentrically dressed, 26-year-old producer behind the equally eccentrically named, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, or T-E-E-D for short. Despite his music background (his father was the head of the choir at Oxford - where he also studied,) Orlando has only been producing under the T-E-E-D moniker since 2011. His debut album, Trouble was released back in June, and now, less than 3 months later, he premieres his first essential mix on the prestigious BBC Radio 1.
