New Music: Indian Summer - Loveweights Feat. Shaqdi
A dulcet tone infused slow-burner from the steadily rising duo that are Indian Summer.. After wrapping a short tour in America where we were given an exclusive tour diary that showed off the glory that is Indian Summer they're now back in Australia with a new single. It's titled Loveweights and features vocals from Swedish vocalist Shaqdi. Loveweights starts out minimal with a tingling piano and a rough filter before it gradually builds to add in the delicate voice of Shaqdi and a warbling percussion. Shaqdi's voice then cuts through the track for a solo highlight of her angelic tones that then meld smoothly with the dry percussion. And throughout all of it that rough filter remains giving the track this sense of imperfection that makes the track as a whole feel far more natural. Keep your eyes peeled for the accompanying video clip, as we may know who had a hand in producing it ;) Follow Indian Summer: FACEBOOK

Video Interview: Indian Summer
Indian Summer talk Shiner, cooking and shaving people's heads.. To say Indian Summer have had a pretty great year would be selling them short. They've been steadily pumping out some rad singles/EPs via the kings over at Sweat It Out, most recently culminating in the release of their Shiner EP. That EP's title track, featuring Ginger & The Ghost, has been smashing it lately with a killer video clip (watch it HERE) and some big shows to support it. One of those was their appearance at this year's Splendour In The Grass, and seen as Chevy and Gabe are two of our favourite humans in the country/world, we jumped at the chance to sit down with them while there for a little chinwag and a spot of duck-fishing. Check our interview with them below, and their remaining tour dates below that: REMAINING TOUR DATES: Wed Aug 27 - Akuna Club @ Llama Bar, Perth Fri Aug 29 - Mondo Fridays @ Ginger, Perth Sat Aug 30 - Ship Faced Cruise, Sydney Sat Aug 30 - Carmens, Miranda Sat Sept 6 - Anyway @ The Bott

Video: Indian Summer - Shiner + Tour Dates
Indian Summer's future-club banger gets a weird/wonderful video.. With their latest single Shiner feat. Ginger & The Ghost being premiered by THUMP US, clocking up a million Youtube views, racing past a quarter-mill on Soundcloud and hitting #1 on Hype Machine, it's time for one our fave duos in Aussie Dance Indian Summer to unleash their first ever music video. Shot by Jack Toohey (The Kite String Tangle, Cosmo's Midnight), it's wacky trip through the lives of a whole bunch of different people. Not unlike their genre-hopping style, it's another excellent step forward as the Indian Summer train surges forward in 2014. Check it below, along with the remaining tour dates for their current Shiner EP Tour: REMAINING TOUR DATES: Fri Aug 15 - Meche, Canberra Sat Aug 23 - The TBC Club, Brisbane Wed Aug 27 - Akuna Club @ Llama Bar, Perth Fri Aug 29 - Mondo Fridays @ Ginger, Perth Sat Aug 30 - Ship Faced Cruise, Sydney Sat Aug 30 - Carmens, Miranda Sat Sept 6 - Anyway @ The Bottom End, Melbour

Andy Bull - Talk Too Much (Ribongia Remix)
Time to start keeping an ear on Sydney's Ribongia.. Following some props from the likely Indian Summer lads over at STONEY ROADS, and Dom Alessio jumping on board this week, it's definitely time to get acquainted with Sydney producer Ribongia. He's been making music for a couple of years now, but it feels like in 2014 he's really starting to flex his muscle. First was the release of Slave Trade about a month ago (listen HERE), and now this weird tropical banger take on Andy Bull's Talk Too Much. It might take you a second to get your head around the intro, but once it gets into its kinda-Jersey kinda something-else-entirely rhythm, it feels fresh, and you can't help but tap your feet. Weird name, weird tunes, good stuff - can't wait for more. Follow Ribongia: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Indian Summer - Shiner National Tour
Your mates and our's, Indian Summer are hittin' the road after Splendour.. Like a beautiful flower, we've been watching Indian Summer grow from party club mash-up DJ extraordinaires into one of this country's best and brightest producer duos, and a stellar run of releases has reached a glowing peak with the release of Shiner feat. Ginger & The Ghost. Always refusing to be tied down to genre tags, this track still feels like the twosome have reach something akin to "their sound", and it's epic. The track has been killing it since release, smashing up to number one on HypeMachine, and deservedly so: The EP features a b-side in Closer, which you can now buy from HERE, and go see 'em at one of the following dates, 'cause they are a duo that never (ever) fail to disappoint live. Fri July 25 - Mix Up Stage @ Splendour In The Grass, Byron Bay Thu July 31 - Star Bar, Bendigo Fri Aug 1 - The Back Bar, Hamilton Sat Aug 9 - Chinese Laundry, Sydney Fri Aug 15 - Meche, Canberra Sat Aug 23 - The TB
