Alison Wonderland - Cold Video Clip
The clip for Cold draws some inspiration from the recent Warehouse Project Tour.. Following the horror-inspired visuals for the clip to I Want U, and our own video dude's effort on second single Lies, today sees the release of a new clip for Alison Wonderland's latest single and Lido colab - Cold. Taking place in a dark underground moshpit, it features everyone bar Alison stuck on loop, with director Prad Senanayake (The Presets, Aston Shuffle) drawing inspiration from one of Alison Wonderland's recent warehouse project shows. Senanayake was blown away by the intensity of energy that he saw and seeing the tiny figure of Alison being uniquely unaffected the mayhem of the crowd that surrounded/engulfed her.

We couldn't think of a better crew to get your desert island rave vibes on with, and to get you in the mood we asked Paces for a few island essentials. These are his stories: 1. A HAMMOCK If I’m stuck on an island I may as well make the most of it and get some down-time. 2. SPICED RUM ...To tip into the coconuts which I assume are plentiful on this island. 3. MY DOG, CHILLI. She’s great for endless LOLs! And she loves the beach more than life itself so a deserted island would be no probs. 4. MEMES 5. A BEARD REMINISCENT OF TOM HANKS' IN CASTAWAY. I want to look the part. No one’s surviving a deserted island with a clean shaven face. Come o

Things We Learned: Wonderland Warehouse Project
Told you what to expect, now hear what we got.. After Alison Wonderland gave us a short briefing on what to expect on the Wonderland Warehouse Project tour, the DJ/producer definitely has not disappointed on her three shows thus far. Check a little video evidence below, and here's what one of our contributors thought after the Brisbane show last Saturday night, one which saw her manfully brave a ravenous crowd of ravers, with a crutch. YOUNG FRANCO CAN BRING IT  We arrive, me hobbling behind on crutches after an unfortunate mountain climbing accident, at 6:30pm. The warehouse is already heaving and 3/4 full, all for Brisbane’s own Young Franco. At one point he throws a shirt into the crowd, which nearly results in a brawl mid-dance floor. His hit Brooklyn has everyone inside moving, and shows everyone he is one to to watch. Young Franco’s set was the perfect warm-up, with his energetic stage presence feeding off the crowd’s love for him. WAVE RACER IS THE FUCKING MAN The crowd continu

What You Get At The Wonderland Warehouse Project
Alison Wonderland gives us the lowdown on her upcoming warehouse rave parties.. As anticipation for the upcoming Wonderland Warehouse Project reaches fever pitch (as in, it starts in Melbourne TONIGHT), we decided to go straight to the source of the idea for what you can expect when Alison Wonderland, Wave Racer and Young Franco roll into a warehouse near you. 1. NEW TUNES I’m really excited to be dropping other tracks from my Calm Down EP. I don’t have a microphone when I play, so you’ll just have to work out what’s what (or I’ll just wink twice, that’s how you’ll know). 2. YOUNG FRANCO & WAVE RACER I love both these guys. We’ve had some crazy times on the road before - I can’t not jump around when they’re playing their sets. They’re both very talented artists, who I have a lot of respect for, and being able to do this tour alongside them - it’s fucking brilliant. 3. AN EXPERIENCE I’m trying to make this not just another DJ set - I want it to be a an experience. It’s a way of me say
