Naming yourself after Mozart is the kind of statement of self-belief that – along with calling your debut album ‘Greatest Hits’ – sets you up for a massive fall. Sure, unfounded bravado in infancy is a prerequisite for any new act, but this kind of bigger-than-Jesus boasting without an album to your name should by rights be career suicide.

Luckily for Max McElligott, he has the goods (or at least one good so far) to back it up, a song so epic and optimistic and bombastic Johann might well be chuffed.

Just a quick bonus blog today and another Daily Download exclusive: the Alex Metric remix of Bloc Party's forthcoming single 'One More Chance'. The track - incidentally one of their best in recent years - is out on August 10, but if you want the rave pianos ramped up a degree and added hand-wound air raid sirens, get this too.

You know you’re on to a winner when your dance compilations throw in digital harpsichords and vocoders by the second track. And Donovan’s ‘Wonderland’ - in all its Timberlake-ripping choruses and flagrant funkiness - is a microcosm of the ‘Edges’ compilation it came in on: playful, inventive, and shamelessly poptastic in its approach to the dancefloor.

Because Music (DJ Mehdi, Krazy Baldhead, Kap Bambino) have rounded up the leading lights of French electronica, from Chateau Marmont to Djedjotronic (who has a great Major Lazer mix on MySpace) for this foray into the future.

Our track, Digikid 84’s spacey synth / bongo face-off ‘Bboy Underground’, also sums up the album’s MO pretty well. It’s out Monday – go get.

Following on from our Yuksek remix a while back, some more love for the best Scottish electro terror since Mylo: 23 year old Burns.

Good news people – there’s a festival on next weekend that doesn’t involve necking 27 pints of weak lager in the rain, and it’s about as far away from T In The Park as the British Isles can afford.

Fuck Blur - the one band you really need to see this week are Portugal The Man*. The nomadic collective possess more soul than anyone from Colchester could ever hope to muster and are over for a limited time only to plug their new album of quasi-gospel folk goodness. Produced by Paul 'Pixies & Radiohead' Kolderie as well as one guy from Cornershop (whose new album dropped in today and is incidentally amazing) it's a string 'n' synth fuelled treat that might be their best yet.

Portugal The Man are playing London's White Heat Social tonight and the Brighton Freebutt tomorrow.
