Vicky Nolan - Don't Panic (Coldplay Cover)

Whilst down in Brighton writing and recording with Chicks With Hits last week, the beautiful Vicky Nolan decided to record a cover of her singing one of her favourite songs of all-time. The Manchester-born songstress took on 'Don't Panic' by Coldplay, stripping it all the way back, with just a piano and her incredibly pure vocals.

DJ Outlaw Shoots Clubber Dead After Requesting a Song

As any DJ knows, there is nothing more annoying than people pestering you to play a specific song all night, even if it's their own music. However, whereas most people would simply say no, or have a brief exchange of words, one DJ took it one step further and decided to kill someone who asked for the same song 5 times.

As part of Swedish House Mafia's takeover show on Radio 1 last night, this new track from young starlet Alesso was unleashed on the world. The euphoric piano-driven jam is sure to be a hit when it is released in a few months time, and is another massive track to add to his ever-improving back catalogue. Also check out a new SHM track called 'Greyhound' after the jump.

The House Of Coxhead T-Shirt Competition

Today is a special day, The House Of Coxhead has just reached 500,000 hits, and to celebrate I'm giving away 3 t-shirts to say thank you for all your continued support! The blog was only started back in June 2010 after a few friends told me to set one up, and up until April last year it was just your average Tumblr site, but over the past 12 months it has been taken to a whole new level and given me a lifestyle that I never would have expected two years ago. There are many positive aspects that come from running the blog, but for me it's been amazing to meet some of the most talented people in the world and give something back to my pals who have given me a hell of a lot over the past few years. Over 120,000 people from 130 different countries have visited The House Of Coxhead since it first started, which for me is mind-blowing, and it's nice to know that it's being appreciated by such a wide diversity of people!

Anyway, on to the competition - here is the question:

I am the least superstitious person in the world, but I do have a lucky number, so what is it...?

Please send your full name, Twitter name and answer to tjc89209@hotmail.co.uk, with the subject 'T-Shirt Competition'. Competition closes @ 10pm on Sunday 26th February.

Good luck to everyone, and thanks again for all the support, hopefully this is just the beginning.

Big love x

Tyga - Kings & Queens (Feat. Wale & NaS) x Lil Homie (Feat. Pharrell)

Not a massive fan of Young Money's Tyga, and his new album on the whole is very average, but these two tracks are sick and clearly stand out from the rest, mainly because of the features/production. 'Careless World: Rise of the Last King' will be released on February 21st, and features Lil Wayne, Drake, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj and more.

Nero - Syndicate Theme

First Skrillex, then Digitalism, followed by Flux Pavilion and now Nero get in on the act with their version of the soundtrack for the new EA game, Syndicate. EA have previously used Skrillex and Pretty Lights for one of their games, but it's getting silly the amount of big names that are putting their own twist on the same track! Free download below.
