A dash of '90s house big with a pair of big ol' swingin' balls.. Following the release of his Take Me EP last year (listen HERE), one of Australia's long-standing key figures in a currently booming house scene, Danny T is back with "complete burner" (Golden Features, 2015) in Let Me Go. And after you have a listen to the stream below you will concur with the likes of Bag Raiders, Sinden, RUFUS and more, who've all thrown their support behind the mo in the business. I even had the pleasure of playing it out about a week ago and can confirm all the ladies in the front row lost their minds. One even said to me: "My boyfriend DJs in Sydney and he would probably think you're pretty good", after I played it. True story. Let Me Go takes all the pleasure points of '90s house, before updating it with plenty of that bass-house sound the legends at Sweat It Out! have been rinsing for a while now. And given Danny T is their man on their ground, it's no wonder he's leading the charge. Take a listen

The disco deviants ace another video, drop some Aussie tour dates.. Throughout 2014 Client Liaison displayed an incredible knack for producing videos so perfect to the duo's aesthetic it almost hurt - check some examples HERE, HERE and their - arguably most brilliant - effort HERE.

The UK house duo take us through a night on the decks ahead of their Australian tour.. The 2 Bears are British producer/DJ duo Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), who've been traipsing around the globe delving into a variety of styles including house, hip hop, 2-step, garage and more, and have been frequent visitors to our shores since their 2009 formation. They're back down under over the Australia Day weekend, and given they're wealth of knowledge in the dance music realm, we thought we'd find out what a perfect night may consist of for them behind the 1's and 2's. Grab their latest album The Night Is Young HERE, get learned on smooth-as-silk house sets below, and check their tour dates down the bottom: Numero Uno – What are we starting with? We quite often start with a track called Soul Train by Soundstream. It's sonically solid, it has a big train horn at the beginning. It's a simple disco-nagger that grows and grows. A good one to set the tone. The crowd is warming, it’s time

We're hosting a zombie movie double at Rooftop Movies!. A somewhat well known fact about Pilerats.com's editor is that he thoroughly enjoys zombie films, and has a pretty stupid collection of them at his house. So when the opportunity arose to host a zombie movie double at Perth's Rooftop Movies, it was a...no-brainer. In a series of unholy alignments, we've linked up with the Perth Underground Film Festival for a killer night of cult flicks, gruesome dress-ups and deadly dancefloor tunes on Black Friday 13th of February, featuring screenings of Doc Of The Dead, and Day Of The Dead. DOC OF THE DEAD: Starring Shaun of The Dead’s Simon Pegg, World War Z author Max Brooks, and legendary director George A. Romero among others, it's a definitive zombie culture documentary, from the creative team behind the hit doco The People v George Lucas. Get stuck into a rich dialogue about zombies in popular culture with zombie experts and celebrities, YouTubers and indie filmmakers. Watch the trailer:

Yes we're a season late, but damn this show is funny..

A dark and brooding affair from the Laneway-bound producer.. Is there an artist whose visual and audio aesthetic is more considered than Flying Lotus? The dude's output feels so meticulously crafted he almost feels like a higher being. Alright maybe we're being a little hyperbolic with those kind of statements, but whatever, he's one of the world's most exciting electronic artists, and any new release is met with feverish anticipation around these parts. Last year's You're Dead! album was another beautiful melding of the audio and the visual, and we're looking forward to seeing his Layer 3 show in Australia this month at the Red Bull Music Academy x Future Classic Stage at St Jerome's Laneway Festival. What all of this jibber jabber leads into is another stellar video clip, this time for Coronus, The Terminator - a dark and menacingly cinematic clip for one of You're Dead!'s highlights: Follow Flying Lotus: FACEBOOK / WEBSITE
