Paces steps it up yet again with WA's own Kučka.. Following a barnstorming 2014 that included a heap of rad singles and remixes, his On My Mind EP, a mainstage set at Splendour and lifting Tkay Maidza to the swaggiest spot on the Hottest 100 of 2014 list - #100 - with his tight production on Switch Lanes, Mikey Perry AKA Paces has kicked off 2015 with a tune that is arguably his best yet - Nothing's Forever feat. WA producer Kučka. They've proved a match made in heaven on this shimmering slice of future-beat, which contains some of the touches we've come to expect from Perry, but also just a general ramping up of the epic-ness after a very subdued beginning. Kučka's vocal work here is also feels slightly different to her output under solo moniker, and it all adds up to perfection.

Paces proves it's not all about the Doritos with an accomplished 3-tracker.. Following the release of his first single with new home etcetc a few weeks ago in On My Mind feat. Youth, Gold Coast producer and part-time Surcut Kid Paces has released the full EP that homes the track, and it's a tidy, self-contained release that feels a lot more rounded than a lot of what we see these days. By this I mean a lot of artists throw out EPs with the one good single and a couple of follow-up tunes, with the package as a whole feeling a little disjointed. Very pleasing in the cases of young Paces, the On My Mind EP features UK outfit Youth providing the vocals on all three tracks, instantly making it feel like more connected body of work. Each track feels different to each other, but not separate. Basically, I love it, and it continues a good run following his work with Aussie hip hop queen Tkay Maidza on her recent single Switch Lanes, and bodes incredibly well for the coming summer.

A new single, from a new EP, ahead of a US/UK/AUS tour - boom.. Tkay Maidza's our fave, we've said it heaps, so I'll just point you to previous track postings HERE and HERE, where we extoll ridiculous amounts of (very deserved) love upon the hip hopstress. It seems the rest of the world is very quickly taking notice, and today Maidza has dropped a new single Switch Lanes, from her forthcoming Switch Tape EP (due October 24 via Dew Process/UMA), and ahead of a global tour that takes in the US, UK and then back home for the summer (check the dates down the bottom). Switch Lanes was produced by an equally swaggalicous artist in Paces (himself just dropping a new tune and new EP announce LAST WEEK), and it's a pretty perfect pairing, dripping in Paces' signature steal drum vibes with Tkay providing a more-restrained flow that shows a softer, more soulful side. It's just a fucking winner all round. Follow Tkay Maidza: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Ja boi Paces drops his first tune on etcetc, featuring UK band Youth on vocal duties.. Summer is Gold Coast $wag king Paces time to shine - sun-lit bangers are his forte and he's on the verge of dropping his first EP with new record label home etcetc. On My Mind featuring UK outfit Youth (who you might remember from Kilter's Hold Me single earlier this year) is filled with all the trippy tropical vibes we've come to love from Paces, and the sultry vocals of Youth are the perfect compliment. Something about Paces' beats seem to mesh perfectly with female vocalists, and this is no acception. It's officially out October 24, with the EP dropping November 14. And you can catch him live as main support for Crooked Colours' Australian tour - check all the dates HERE. Follow Paces: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
