Here Lies Love is the new project of Fatboy Slim and David Byrne. It’s about the life of the former First Lady of the Philippines, Imelda Marcos and her relationship with a servant from her childhood. The full package will be out on February 23.  The album features 22 guest vocalists and will be released as a double-CD set with DVD and 100-page book

N.A.S.A. in collaboration with Indaba Music and Anti-Records release ALL the tracks from The Spirit of the Apollo as acapellas and instrumentals – and offer you a tremendous opportunity to remix, mash-up, cut up and create a new N.A.S.A. track. Register HERE to get access to all tracks.

Go crazy with the likes of Kanye West, David Byrne, Chuck D, RZA, The Cool Kids, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Tom Waits, DJ AM, KRS-One, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, Lykke Li, Santigold, George Clinton, Scarface and M.I.A – and do your thang.

The winner of the competition will be included on an official remix album of The Spirit of Apollo AND will also receive a cool $1000 for their work! How about them apples?

The countdown is on. Santogold, Tom Waits, Kanye West, MIA and David Byrne are among the artists who will appear on NASA’s forthcoming album, The Spirit of Apollo. We refer not, of course, to the USA’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration. That NASA, the space-exploring one, is too busy fiddling with Mars probes to lay down tracks with Spank Rock and CSS’s Lovefoxxx. No, we mean the other NASA, a DJ duo also known as North America/South America, who have been putting the record together for years, criss-crossing the globe to work with their favourite musicians. The group is composed of Squeak E Clean – aka DJ Sam Spiegel, brother of director Spike Jonze – and DJ Zegon, aka producer and professional skateboarder Ze Gonzales. The Spirit of Apollo will be released by Anti on February 17. It’s a truly star-studded album, the culmination of five years’ work by Spiegel and Gonzales. "It’s not about cash or anything," Spiegel told NME. "It seems that almost everyone I’ve asked to be on the record has been really down for music just for inspiration … It was like, ‘Oh cool, I like this music, I wanna be involved.‘" The list of cameos is almost unprecedented. DJ AM, who was injured in a plane crash last month, appears. So does the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard and a slew of other Wu-Tang Clan members. Not to mention Chuck D, Seu Jorge, John Frusciante, George Clinton, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O and Nick Zinner, and many more.
