It looks like Beyonce’s heavily-rumoured Netflix documentary could be just around the corner, if the streaming service’s cryptic new tweet has anything to do with it.

The new documentary, which is rumoured to be “tied to her Coachella 2018 performance” (according to Us Weekly), will not herald an era of new music; instead sources tease that a deluxe version of LEMONADE is on its way featuring “a couple of new tracks”.
According to reports, the documentary will also include unseen footage that was removed from the final performance.
Update: Netflix have now just shared the documentary’s official trailer. Watch below:

Calvin Harris has celebrated a decade since his seminal ‘I’m Not Alone’ with a new repackage of the iconic club cut.
Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the original, the release features two huge club-focused remixes from dance music’s most in demand duo, CamelPhat, who work in deep, driven synth lead beats into the toplines of the original, while their second version takes things in a much more 4/4 and weighty direction.
Following on is a brand new 2019 version from Calvin, which stays true to the original, but gives it a fresh re-work that lines it up perfectly for the incoming summer season. Meanwhile German producer Thomas Schumacher turns the original on its head, with a truly huge, peak time techno cut, brimming with bubbly acid beats, pounding undertows and rave entrenched production… one to blow the roof off the clubs.

British powerhouse Alex Adair returns with yet another absolute stomping summer-house anthem ‘Stronger’.

Iconic DJ and producer Paul Woolford has teamed up with Karen Harding for his thumping new single ‘You Already Know’.
Blessed with a soaring vocal, ‘You Already Know’ flaunts Paul’s vintage sounding chord patterns to create a retro-sounding summer floorfiller. The synth-led production follows his recent club-ready D-Mix of the single, which marked the 400th release on esteemed dance label Positiva Records who recently celebrated their 25th anniversary.
Working tirelessly over the course of a 20-year career, Paul Woolford has made a name as one of dance music’s most versatile acts, securing a forthcoming residency on BBC Radio 1 and gaining huge support from the station’s legendary broadcaster Pete Tong.
Remixing productions from the likes of Lana Del Rey, Disclosure, Wiley, Jamie XX and London Grammar, Paul has also proved his skills outside of the studio, playing key clubs globally such as Panorama Bar, Fabric, Warung and D Edge in Brazil.

James Blake has shared the video for the Rosalia-assisted ‘Barefoot In The Park’.
Lifted off Blake’s critically-acclaimed album, ‘Assume Form’, released earlier this year, the track’s tenderness makes it one of the key romantic moments from the record, a song that celebrates togetherness and intimacy.
The video’s narrative, which was shot by Diana Kunst & Mau Morgó (A$AP Rocky, FKA Twigs, Spoon, Cut Copy, Little Dragon, Aphex Twin) follows images of a young James and ROSALÍA as they walk through life and grow into adults.
