THE MAGICIAN HAS A SWIMMING POOL

If the task at hand is creating irresistible dance party tunes, The Magician is the man for the job. His latest effort is a remix of electro-pop foursome Mausi's funky tune My Friend Has A Swimming Pool, and in true Magician fashion, the Belgian producer turns the track into a full-on body mover.

The Magician, aka Stephen Fasano, keeps the original track's fun and offbeat vocals, but turns up the beat dramatically and adds some deep bass and energetic synth power. Mausi's light, easy sound is stripped from the track as Fasano gives the song a fresh deep house vibe.

No word on a release date for the remix, but the track can be found on The Magician'sMagic Tape 43, a free download.

DEADMAU5 PREMIERES ‘SEEYA’ FROM ‘WHILE(1<2 a="">

With only three weeks left until the release ofdeadmau5' double-disc While(1<2 em="">, Zane Lowe gave fans their second official taste of the two-and-a-half-hour album with a premiere of Seeya.

deadmau5 calls the "little funky, upbeat thing... a bit of a departure," and fans familiar with his usual stylings of progressive and electro house would agree. The funk-ladenSeeya is an older production finished up with the vocals of Colleen D'Agostino supported by a glitchy bassline and punchy piano chords. The comparatively slow production flirts hard with nu disco and demonstrates the diversity of the double album.

The complete BBC Radio 1 interview will be available in two weeks. Stick around after the track ends for the backstory on entering the Gumball 3000, and don't forget to pre-orderWhile(1<2 em=""> here, which comes with instant downloads of Avaritia and Seeya beginning May 27.

PREMIERE: DAVIDIAN FEAT. TIFFANI JUNO – WHAT I WANT EP [KITSUNÉ]

British producer David "Davidian" Whitfield makes his debut on the illustrious Kitsunélabel with the What I Want EP, and we here at LessThan3 are excited to provide the exclusive premiere of the stellar remixes that accompany the title track.

Davidian's refined house style belies his 22 years, harking back to a bygone era that was over before the DJ was even a twinkle in his mother's eyes, while still demonstrating an impressive modern skill set. Fellow Brit Tiffani Juno provides understated-yet-catchy vocal hooks that glide as smoothly as butter on top of Davidian's rubbery bassline and shimmering synth backdrop. Equally as strong as the original mix of What I Want are the remixes which come bundled with it, from Panda's piano-driven take, to Eli & Fur'sdarker rendition, as well as solid offerings from Asdek and danglo.

Davidian's What I Want EP is out now onBeatport.

WATCH: BURIAL’S ‘RIVAL DEALER’ SOUNDTRACKS SHORT FILM

The title track from Burial's last EP, Rival Dealer, is one of the most cinematic tracks this UK garage producer has ever made. Clocking in at just over 10 minutes, it feels like a veritable garage opera, with distinct sections and voiceovers to fill the role of the characters. There's an atmospheric prologue, an action-packed beginning, a conversational interlude followed by a menacing ending, and finally a beautiful epilogue that soars into the heavens with the imagined end credits.

Filmmaker Ben Dawkins picked up on the song's tone, and has created a short film inspired by it. Though not an official music video, the film was nonetheless approved by both Burial and Hyperdub, and it's easy to see why. The story follows a drug dealer through a particularly stressful night. It sounds straightforward enough, but just when you think you know where the film is going, something shocking happens. Watch below:
