Zhu's debut live show at Listen Out approaches.. Listen Out kicks off in Sydney and Perth this weekend, and we're looking forward to it - that's how devoid of creativity I am right now. Anyway Zhu will be playing his first ever live shows over here, which makes sense since you get the feeling Australia has grabbed onto the producer's sound harder than anyone else around the world. The Nightday EP, featuring breakout hit Faded has been killing it, and as a special pre-Aussie tour treat, he dropped a sneaky little cover of Chvrches' Gun last week, premiered on Triple J. It's pretty chiller, but we're digging it - bring on Listen Out. Follow Zhu: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

We had a sit down with Golden Features before he destroyed two sets at CIRCO Festival this year.. While it pains us to say "hottest dance act in Australia right now", it has to be said Golden Features is definitely there or there-abouts at the moment. He first exploded onto the scene with a free debut EP (listen HERE) in February of this year, and has quickly gone on to become one of the most in-demand acts on Australia's club/festival circuit. At the time of the interview not much had been revealed beyond his mask and a penchat for dark, bassy house, and we talked letting the music speak first, not getting tied down to any particular genre, and his old days graffing around Sydney. Recently Stell has just dropped a killer remix for Aus' dance stalwarts The Presets (listen HERE), along with joining the lineups for the upcoming LISTEN OUT, YOUR PARADISE and BEYOND THE VALLEY Festivals, and one gets the feeling that things are only just getting warmed up for Golden Features: Follow Golde
