[News] Radiohead Hints at Jack White Collaboration

During their headling set at Bonnaroo last night, Radiohead hinted heavily at a possible collaboration with Jack White. Just before going into their track "Supercollider," Thom Yorke said, "This song is for Jack White. We saw him yesterday. A big thank-you to him, but we can't tell you why. You'll find out." Who knows what we can expect from a collaboration such as this, but let the speculation begin. As well, check out the band's entire Bonnaroo performance above.

[Listen] Breakbot feat. Irfane - "1 Out Of 2"

French producer and Ed Banger artist Breakbot is most known for his extensive number of remixes, but his latest single might not be what you expect. "1 Out Of 2" is an upbeat number featuring the vocals of his frequent collaborator Irfane. An airy guitar starts this cheesy pop-infused love song, with dreamy piano keys carrying along the whole thing before a guitar solo straight out of the '80s finishes it off. Check out the high quality radio rip below (via Stereogum).

The "1 Out Of 2" single is out on June 18th via Ed Banger Records.
