This may have escaped the attention of many at the time, but in 2010 this remix of Roisin's (yet to be released) song Demon Lover was put online by YILA. It features the London rapper Wiley.

Roisin has spoken about her future musical plans in a interview with Rory Hall: "I have been incredibly productive of late actually. I've got a finished project which is called (...) Mi Senti, an Italian language project, where I sing in Italian. That will come out in May. And I'm working on an album, a Roisin Murphy album, which is going really well. I've got a single coming out on Eskimo

"Leviathan is mentioned in Daniel Robinson's ‘Great Ideas of Philosophy,’ an audio recording of several lectures. In that context, I took the word to mean the overarching system of ideas, morals, rules of governance and the constraints and freedoms of any society at any giving time in history. The vast machine that is built with the sole intention of keeping us from anarchy and to halt the break

We have heard the Solomun remix and now it's time to listen to the original version of Flash Of Light, Roisin's collaboration with Luca C & Brigante. The song's lyrical landscape is the last day of the world, as explained by Roisin herself. Perhaps that explains its rather melancholy undertone.Click here to listen. The song kicks in at 17 min. 10 sec. into the stream.

House music all night long. When a friend of mine introduced me to the music of Luca C & Brigante I was stuck with an apocaliptic feeling, as if I were listening to the sound of a party at the end of the world. And with such strong imagery coming to mind I was only too happy to write with them when they asked. Flash of Light is about that last night on earth, a forewarning of the

Check out this amazing, and rather sultry, video for Roisin's song Simulation. The video was made by drag persona Ambrosia Salad to conclude a year long art project. Roisin is a great muse and inspiration for Ambrosia: I can't tell you how much of a muse Roisin is to me! She changed my life and the way i look at fashion, music, and art.

Roisin is working on an Italian EP with producer Brigante. Here is what he told Resident Advisor: I am working on a very special Italian EP with Roisin Murphy. Having worked with her on a song for the album I discovered she is a bit of an Italian-ist too—certainly capable of the drama associated with divas such as Mina or Patty Pravo! We have started with a cover version of a song that my uncle

Roisin talked about this song a few weeks ago, but I didn't expect it to surface quite so soon. But here we have it: Simulation, a collaboration with a mystery producer from northern England. 9 minutes of deep house bliss. Enjoy!

A short yet informative interview with Roisin at the Electronic Beats festival in Zagreb the other day. She speaks of a few new collaborations that will be released some time in the future. How does it feel as an independent artist these days? Fine, good. I haven't been doing very much music recently, but I'll get back into it. Any plans to return to EMI or not? I don't know, what we'll release
