(April Fool's!)

Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe has signed a deal to produce two albums under New York label VMA Records.

A departure from his publicly known musical preferences, Radcliffe will try his hand at techno/Dutch pop style songs. The actor began an infatuation with the genre in 2007 and recorded a few demos that are published on a shadow band's MySpace profile.

Radcliffe, who is already coming to New York later this year for a Broadway run of the hit West End play Equus, is said to be looking forward to playing in small venues as the band builds up its repertoire.
