Franz Ferdinand have teamed up with French actress Marion Cotillard on a new song.

The Oscar-winning actress takes lead vocals on The Eyes Of Mars, which was written by the band for a new fashion ad campaign.

In the advertisement, Cotillard, who won an Oscar in 2008 for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, plays a woman with a secret life as a nightclub singer.

With less than two months to go before the award-winning Future Music Festival sweeps the nation, Future Entertainment are proud to announce an exciting series of lineup, stage and arena additions that are guaranteed to make 2010 the event’s biggest and best year to date…

Way Out West who had a rather large 2009 thanks to the release of their hugely acclaimed artist album 'We Love Machine' have just been added to the already massive Future Music Festival lineup. Voted #4 in In The Mix’s Top 20 releases of 2009, ITM had this to say: “Nick Warren’s and Jodi Wisternoff’s love affair with analogue synths (which they partnered up with some hi-tech machinery), the result was so lush, detailed and gorgeous that it was like this machine truly was alive. Stunning.” Since teaming up in the early 1990s, UK DJ/Producers Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff have continually pushed the musical boundaries of club music. Heroes of the Progressive House, Breaks and Trance scenes alike, WOW (as their legion of fans worldwide affectionately call them) boast a catalogue of EDM anthems which includes the iconic likes of ‘Blue’, ‘Intensify’, ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘Don’t Forget Me’ and ‘The Gift’ – the latter of which is one of the most remixed tracks in dance history.

Sydney’s die-hard Techno collective have had all of their prayers answered with news that two of the genre’s premier global purveyors – Germany’s legendary DJ/Producer and Cocoon boss, Sven Vath, and Deep Dish’s dark prince of Techno, Dubfire – will be teaming up on the same bill.

Set to rock what promises to be one of the finest underground club gigs in recent memory, the pair will take The Metro by storm on Friday March 5th supported by a stellar cast of locals.

Tickets go on sale 28 January available through ticketek.com.au

Let’s get physical… In news that’s guaranteed to thrill their loyal legion of local fans, luminary Minimal/Tech House dons, Booka Shade, will play intimate LIVE shows in both Melbourne and Sydney.

Booka Shade’s much-anticipated new album is due for release in April through Bandroom Records.

Let’s paint the town blue …

Scottish Indie supergroup Franz Ferdinand’s Melbourne and Sydney shows just got even hotter with news that Brisbane’s prodigious alternative rockers, Yves Klein Blue, will be lending support for both dates. Fresh from a huge year that saw them release their debut album ‘Ragged & Elastic’ to critical acclaim, the talented Aussie quartet will be the perfect warm up for Alex Kapranos and his all-conquering Franz Ferdinand ensemble. But wait, there’s more! Sydney Indie Rock sensation Philadelphia Grand Jury are also along for the ride. Buckle up kids, this is going to be one hell of a show!

The Prodigy will be bringing the legendary noise, colour and excitement of their explosive LIVE performance to their exclusive FMF sideshows supported by Does It Offend You Yeah? + Special Guests...

Since emerging from the UK’s underground rave scene in the early 1990s, The Prodigy have established themselves as one of the most dominant, dynamic and revered electronic acts of all time. Pioneers of the big beat genre, their unique mixture of Rave, Hardcore, Industrial and Breakbeat sounds, has seen them consistently captivate the planet’s electronic faithful and, in turn, sell more albums than any other dance music artist in history. From giving birth to iconic tracks like ‘Firestarter’, ‘Voodoo People’, ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ and ‘Breathe’ to forging chart- topping albums like ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’, ‘Fat Of The Land’ and 2009’s ‘Invaders Must Die'.

When Virgin Galactic were looking for some atmospheric music to herald the launch of their ground-breaking 'SpaceShipTwo', they turned to Above & Beyond.

At an event hosted by Richard Branson in the Mojave Desert, the track chosen to accompany the official unveiling of SpaceShipTwo was Above & Beyond's club anthem 'Buzz', which was inspired by the Apollo 11 moon-landing. After the unveiling of the world's first space tourism spacecraft, Above & Beyond performed an exclusive DJ set in front of an audience of 800 dignitaries, celebrities and soon-to-be astronauts, plus the assembled global media.
