Example - CTWYKM x We Found Love (Live Lounge)

Earlier today Example and Eddie Kid dropped into Hatfield University to perform a special stripped back piano-driven live lounge session for Fearne Cotton as part of the Radio 1 Student Tour 2011. Whilst he was there Example performed his first number 1 single, Changed The Way You Kiss Me, and a brilliant interpretation of Rihanna & Calvin Harris' new single, We Found Love. You can listen to and download both songs below. Example will be performing live later on tonight for Zane Lowe and Midnight Run is out December 4th.

Example - Midnight Run (Sheldrake Remix)

BOOM! After dropping the video for Midnight Run earlier today, here is the final remix to come from the official Midnight Run EP, which is set for release on December 4th. Example's bass player and good friend Sheldrake takes the single, turns it into a drilling progressive house number and provides me with my favourite version of the song - frenetic, but thoughtful. Pre-order all the remixes HERE.

"Coupla skeletons..."

Example - Midnight Run (Video)

Directed by Adam Powell, the man behind CTWYKM & Stay Awake, here is the brilliant video for the third single to be taken from Example's number one album, Playing In The Shadows. The video was shot over 3 days in Iceland and the concept is based on a short film I made at University in 2002 - safe to say it's my favourite out of the three videos that Elliot and Adam have done together. You can pre-order the EP HERE and get a package which includes remixes from Flux Pavilion, Sheldrake, Funkagenda, Wilkinson and Wideboys. Out December 4th on Ministry Of Sound.

Ed Sheeran & Example join T4 Stars of 2011 Line-Up

T4 have today announced that Ed Sheeran, Example, Dappy & Pixie Lott will be joining the Stars of 2011 show, which is set to take place on Sunday 11th December @ Earls Court, London. The line-up already plays host to Wretch 32, Jessie J & Professor Green, which means this will be a guaranteed sell out, so if you want tickets then be sure to head over to the HMV website and get yours now.

Example tops this week's Cool Cuts Chart

Example's new single, and the third to come from his number 1 album Playing In The Shadows, is currently sitting at the top of the Cool Cuts Chart. For those of you who don't know, this is the leading tastemaker Dance chart which is compiled from reactions from tastemaker DJs and the Cool Cuts Panel (Club & Radio DJ feedback and data collected from blogs, dance websites online and retail stores and distributors). Midnight Run is only out on December 4th and is yet to make it onto any radio playlists, but this is a solid start, and it seems as though Example could well be on course for his third consecutive number one single. Professor Green, Skream & Dirty South all find themselves in the top 5 this week too. Hit the jump to see the top 10.

Example - Midnight Run (Funkagenda, Flux Pavilion & Wideboys Remixes)

Not one, not two, but THREE massive remixes of the new Example single, which is the third to be taken from his number one album Playing In The Shadows and is set to be released next month on Ministry Of Sound. Safe to say it looks like this is set to be another smashing Example EP/remix package. Which is your favourite?

Laidback Luke vs. Example - Natural Disaster (Nouveau Yorican Remix)

Here is Nouveau Yorican's smashing remix of Laidback Luke's first release on Ministry Of Sound, which is the final remix to come from a rather impressive official EP. For those of you who don't know, Nouveau Yorican is a duo made up of Laidback Luke himself and Gina Turner - they are signed to Defected Records and their aim is to produce original material/remixes that have a modern interpretation of Latin-inspired New York House. I've loved all of their work thus far, and this is no exception - definitely the version I would be dropping in my sets. Pre-order HERE.
