Video: Peter Bibby - Stinkin' Rich [Pilerats Live Recording]
An acoustic version of one the standout tracks from Bibby's Hates My Boozin' album.. "When somebody mentions this 'Australia Sound' thing I don't think of the instrumental hip hop or chillwave that they're generally referring to, I think of people like Paul Kelly, Will Wagner & The Smith Street Band... and Peter Bibby. It's not just because they're singin' songs with our accent, it's the stories and on-stage banter that mostly defines that Aussie identity in music for me. Having been brought up in Perth's eastern suburbs, worked as a plasterer and busking for a little bit, he's seen enough of the real suburban Australia to project us a little more genuinely to the world than theatrics like Croc Dundee - and coming from the same circles of talent as world beating Perth bands like Tame Impala and Pond, I can't help but feel the number on Peter's ticket out of here is about to be called."

Interview: Rustie
Rustie looks back on a huge 2014, and forwards to Laneway 2015.. Russell Whyte, probably better known to most future-bass music fiends as Glaswegian-based producer Rustie, successfully managed to follow up his break-out 2012 album Glass Swords with last year's Green Language.

New: Flight Facilities - Two Bodies feat. Emma Louise (Lido Remix)
A pretty and perfect congruence of talent.. As their sold out Down To Earth tour barnstorms around the country and the album itself scores a 2014 J Award nomination, the good times roll on for Flight Facilities, today dropping a Two  Bodies remix from white-hot producer Lido. It's always fun to to see which route goes in his remix work - the large, banger path or the delicate, restrained path, and Two Bodies featuring vocalist Emma Louise definitely lends itself towards the latter, which the Norwegian beatsmith takes to with perfection. The track features on the 12" release of Two Bodies, available for pre-order HERE. Read our big-ass feature with Flight Facilities and check their remaining tour dates HERE.
