Somethings happening on the Australian music front that’s turning all of UK and Europe upside down in this style of music. The volume of artists coming from the sun filled continent (Hayden James, Flight Facilities, Flume et al) is simply astounding and this is another cream of the crop lad making big waves. Hayden Calnin from Melbourne […]
Listen Out was on in Sydney last week, and I was lucky enough to head along to the event for the second year running. I’ll admit that I had my reservations, considering some of the issues that I had with the inaugural 2013 event, but I was pleasantly surprised by a day with vast logistical […]
After YG‘s sudden cancellation, October festival Listen Out promised two new acts to fill the space… and they certainly have delivered with the first! UK outfit Snakehips are stepping up, and we could not be more thrilled! Their unique brand of house-meets-____ will hit all dates, with another act still to be announced! Snakehips is joined by Flume, Ta-Ku, Four Tet […]
We recently posted about The Reissue Project, a collaborative effort from trendy fashionistas le coq sportif and much-loved local beatmakers Future Classic. To celebrate the project, FC and LCS have dropped six exclusive remixes of some of our all-time favourite Future Classic tracks. Handpicked by the likes of Derrick Carter, Greymatter and Detroit Swindle, these world-class […]
Chet Faker aka Nick Murphy is astoundingly talented. His voice is effortlessly strong, perfectly tuned, and without a single melodic fault. He also has a talent for writing soulful, sensual grooves that meld R’n’B and electronic, produced and live instruments with fluidity and maturity far beyond his years. In short, I hate him. It’s so […]
Words by Emma Jones It seems Australian EDM sensation, What So Not, can do anything… Even making apps. Teaming up with Wild Turkey’s American Honey, Flume and Emoh Instead’s joint alter ego have set out to “blur the line between audience and musician.” The duo created one track and sliced it up into 16 parts, […]
Words by Billie-Jean Bullard I honestly didn’t think it was possible to love Nick Murphy, A.K.A Chet Faker anymore. But then he goes and releases his new (and first) full length album Built on Glass, and well, was I wrong. Trying to figure out which of his new tracks were my favourite was a new major struggle […]
Keeping something like this under wraps is not an easy task. At only 18 years old Amine Allali aka Orlando Wolf has already ticked off some highly notable achievements in such a short time, gaining mega support slots with the likes of Duke Dumont, 2 Bears, Jack Beats and Flume. His latest remix of fellow Australian outfit Pigeon highlights […]
Flume has redirected the Australian music scene into an electronic utopia; now he harnesses the raw hip hop power of Ghostface Killah and the sweet voice of Autre Ne Veut in an incredible rework of “Space Cadet”. The track is part of a new deluxe mixtape, which also features How To Dress Well, Twin Shadow, […]
AlunaGeorge’s debut full-length album Body Music is a really interesting mixture of so many styles of music that I really don’t know exactly what to call them. The London-based duo of Aluna Francis and George Reid have a perceptibly modern, oh-so-cool sound. They’re minimal pop-RnB, but they’re also electronic, garage, avant-garde, with a bit of soul, a little […]
