Tue Jan 31 2012 by Robbie Daw
Kid Cudi first gave fans a taste of his and Dot Da Genius' WZRD single "Teleport 2 Me, Jamie" two weeks ago, during a Heatwave Festival gig in Middleton, Australia. And today the song, which samples Desire's electro jam "Under Your Spell", has hit iTunes. Perhaps that's no coincidence — Desire's tune appears on the soundtrack to Ryan Gosling flick Drive, which also is released today on DVD. Hear the studio version of the WZRD song, as well as Desire's original, below!

Kid Cudi Blogs After Stage Rage In Melbourne
Tue Jan 24 2012 by Robbie Daw
Kid Cudi was fighting mad when, after refusing to end his set early, his mic got cut during the Heatwave Music Festival stop in Melbourne over the weekend. The WZRD wizard's response was to then start knocking over stage equipment. "If my set is EVER cut short at any show, im trashing the stage," Cudder blogged following the drama. "Not out of anger, it takes a lot to get me furious nowadays, but out of principle." AceShowbiz reports that promoters were forced to cut short the gigs of several acts "due to poor management" and the fact that the first artist's set started three hours late.

Kid Cudi Conjures ‘WZRD’ Track List
Sat Jan 21 2012 by Idolator Staff
We may not be getting WZRD by the end of the month as originally hoped, but at least Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius are giving us something to tide us over until February 28. The duo has revealed the ten-song track listing for the highly-anticipated collaboration, featuring "Teleport 2 Me" and "Brake," which we've already heard, along with eight tunes we haven't. Our favorite of the upcoming tracks is the tongue-in-cheek "High Off Life," a playful reminder of Mr. Mescudi's abstinence from more tangible and illicit highs. Catch the track list below.

Kid Cudi’s WZRD Album Delayed
Mon Jan 16 2012 by Idolator Staff
Say it ain't so! Dismaying news for those awaiting Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius' WZRD album — you'll have to keep waiting. Originally promised to drop by the end of this month, the disc is now roughly slated for February 28 release, according to a series of tweets by Dot Da Genius. "We are in the final stages of mastering but we really had to take time and pay attention to the sonics as this is new territory for us," the Grammy-nominated producer stated before promising that singles "Brake" and "Teleport 2 Me" (which Cudi just performed in Australia) would not be delayed.

Willow Smith Covers Kid Cudi
Tue Jan 3 2012 by Becky Bain
When we spoke to Willow Smith last month, she told us her favorite album to listen to in 2011 was Kid Cudi's Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, citing that "it’s different, and it has a lot of feeling." So it makes sense that the "Fireball" singer would be inspired to cover Cudi's low-key song from that album, "All Along", all while playing the piano, even if it's pretty heavy material for a typically plucky 11-year-old. Watch below. More »

David Guetta isn't the only DJ/producer teaming up with some big acts to bring Euro dance beats here to the US.
