Who she's looking forward to at CIRCO and #reasonswhyshelovesperth.. In case you missed it earlier this week, we had a big and awesome chat with Nina Las Vegas about her time overseas, the global domination she’s planning with Mix Up Exclusives, and also maybe probably hopefully finally getting some of her own music out into the world (read it HERE). The end of our conversation turned towards CIRCO Festival (sick of telling you how good it's gonna be - get TICKETS already), where she’ll be bringing it home following the likes of Ryan Hemsworth, Kele and Violent Soho. Given her recent musical education overseas, we were keen to see who she’s looking forward to catching, if anyone from around our way had caught her eye, and any other hot tips on acts doing good things overseas. “I’m really excited about DJ Q, I wanna see Esta play, and Mykki Blanco I seemed to be everywhere he was on my trip, but I never saw him play, so I can’t wait to check it out. And Deejay Earl will be awesome too.

Ta-ku's new audio/visual project is off to a great start.. Perth beat king Ta-ku has kicked off his new Create & Explore series with this beautiful new video featuring beats by Esta, and photography from Australian snapper Michael Salisbury. Create & Explore is described as thus: "A conversation between mediums. From visual to auditory, beat makers are paired with photographers to create and explore the power of creative collaboration", and if this first piece is anything to go by, we've got a lot to look forwrad to. Head to the Create & Explore WEBSITE for more info.

Perth hip hop kid Coin Banks is hittin' the road.. Following the release of his killer EP Heads in March this year, WA born and bred hip hopper Coin Banks is taking the release (which features the likes of Ta-ku, 20syl and Homeboy Sandman) around the country. After being featured on Aus' music heavies like Rage, triple j, and our own RTRFM, Think Of You is currently killing it on the aforementioned youth broadcaster. After cutting his teeth with Perth hip hop outfit The Stoops, Coin Banks has spent the past couple of years honing his craft, and 2014 is shaping up to be huge. Check out the video clip for Hatches down the bottom, and catch him at one of the following dates: Click above for tickets via Oztix.

Perth's Sid Pattni has got a new one out on Pilerats Records.

A video interview with Ta-ku at Circo about his new EP and more.. Ta-ku's new Songs To Break Up To EP is fucking rad. And he's always a pleasure to talk to, so enjoy, and download that awesome piece of music from HERE now.

"The whole showmanship and going out and doing a show, I see the merit in it, and I think it’s great for other artists but it just isn’t me."
