SIA/DIPLO.. YES!

Australia-born singer and songwriter Sia (Zero 7) is set to release her fourth record 'We Are Born' on July 12^th in the UK.  It includes a dazzling collection of songs, produced by noted Los Angeles producer Greg Kurstin (Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Beck, Britney Spears, Kylie). It follows Sia's acclaimed 2008 'Some People Have Real Problems' record (Best Breakthrough Artist Album- 2009 Aria Awards). None other than Major Lazer representative and label head honcho Diplo has released a nice little remix and we’ve been sent it! Oh boy its nice!

A Rare Occurrence

Yep, thats right, its on time. This week In the Mix provided one of the best, all round impressive download links to ever grace their page. Showcasing Sia's original 'Buttons' would have been enough to wow the crowds, but they decided to throw up Chris Lakes very catchy spin on the song. In The Mix summed up Sia's success and all its drivers perfectly, so check out the page to get the lowdown on why many will be excited when she makes the trek to Australia later this month. But what about Chris Lake? He's got a bunch of relaxing, melodic house hits including 'If You Knew' (featuring vocals from Nastala) and 'Only One', all of which provide his big room house followers the opportunity to jive to his eclectic live sets. Use this track as an example of what the British DJ/producer can do.
