Video: Chet Faker - Talk Is Cheap Live At The Enmore
Experience Chet Faker's stripped back version of Talk Is Cheap.. If Chet Faker thought is 2014 was a pretty good one, he must be pinching himself this early in 2015. Last week he absolutely destroyed his appearance on American TV, making Ellen Degeneres reconsider her sexual orientation with a killer rendition of Gold (watch HERE), and he's marching towards some very strong placings in the triple j Hottest 100, seemingly having only Peking Duk and Taylor Swift as the major hurdles toward a number one spot. Today he's released a live video performing Talk Is Cheap, and the strip-backed nature of the performance is a special one indeed. It also comes in advance of his massive Australian tour, with almost every date sold out (have a squiz HERE). Follow Chet Faker: FACEBOOK / WEBSITE

Video: FKA Twigs - Pendulum
Watch FKA Twigs hang from her own hair in new video Pendulum.. She was one of the artists we couldn’t take our eyes off in 2014; and 26 year-old British singer FKA Twigs seems intent on maintaining our attention in 2015; yesterday receiving two nominations for the BRIT Awards -  British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act – on the back of her Mercury Prize nomination for her breakthrough album of last year, LP1 (out now on Young Turks), yesterday releasing her most transfixing video yet for LP1 track Pendulum.  I'm your sweet little love maker, sings FKA Twigs, as the professional dancer, clad in a nude leotard, slowly spins (a human Pendulum, one assumes), suspended in mid-air, in a complex harness of rope, intertwined with her braids, so she’s essentially being supported by her own hair. She then begins sinking into a silvery, digital liquid, which eventually completely coats her and she becomes a CGI creature; before she re-emerges in human form, donned in tough silver h

Premiere: Just A Gent - Limelight feat. Rozes (Louis Futon Remix)
Kicking off his Aus' tour this week, Louis Futon drops a killer remix of Just A Gent.. While Philadelphia-based producer Louis Futon had a massive 2014, one gets the feeling he's only just getting started, with the announcement of his first ever headlining tour kicking off in Australia this month, and today's huge new remix to celebrate. Reaching out to one of Australia's fastest rising young in Just A Gent, Louis Futon has taken to the young gun's latest single Limelight feat. Rozes. At the time he dropped that tune we remarked that Just A Gent was quickly becoming Australia's own Porter Robinson, and Louis Futon has managed to upped the ante on an already beast of a track, blending future-beats and big trap sounds perfectly, put simply - it's huge. In further good news, it's a free download for 72 hours to say thanks to his fans as his self-titled EP was due today, but is now actually due January 28 and will feature the likes of DRNUK, Sir Rock, Silk and more. So enjoy/get on it belo

Caribou Mega Mixtape
Nothing to listen to today? That’s cool, Caribou has made you a playlist of 1000 tracks.. Is this one of the hugest mixtapes of all time? Canadian producer Caribou, the producer behind one of the most emotional dancefloor tracks of 2014, Can’t Do Without You, has curated a 1000 track playlist, called 1000 Songs For You, today, as a means to give props to all the fans who’ve gotten behind him. “Roughly speaking, this is a musical history of my life,” says Snaith of the eclectic playlist, that goes literally everywhere: Moodyman, Can, Usher, Pusha T, The Zombies, Kanye West, and more. He’s asked us all to listen to it on shuffle, and hopes people will also send in their own suggestions, “in the hope (that) this becomes a dialogue rather than a monologue.” Caribou, you are such a nice guy. Read his post / stream the playlist below.

Premiere: Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance The Way I Feel (Set Mo Remix)
The 2009 banger has been resurrected in a new remix package.. 2009 banger Dance The Way I Feel by Ou Est Le Swimming Pool is getting something of a revival in 2015. It first started appearing when swagalicious beatsmith Paces started throwing his own little edit of the track into his live sets (listen HERE), and now it's coming out as a full remix package joined by disco lord Luke Million's effort, which premiered via the good folks at Acid Stag YESTERDAY, and this Set Mo remix we're fortunate enough to premiere today. For the young'uns out there, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool had a massive 2009/10 around the release of their debut album The Good Year, although a promising start was sadly cut short when lead singer Charles Haddon committed suicide following a performance at Pukkelpop. His - and the group's - memory of course lives on, and we're fortuante to have three very diverse remixes of the tune to play with in 2015. Set Mo have been steadily releasing some killer housey tracks over the

New Music: Eves The Behavior - TV
Eves The Behavior debut single, TV, reveals her precocious talent for making pop.. Laneway has a talent for putting unknown but talent-endowed Australian acts on their bill, with last year’s lineup including heartstring yanker MT WARNING for instance. And 2015 is no different with Eves The Behavior. Formerly known only as Eves, 2015 looks to be the year that she starts to fan the flames of interest. The opening subdued atmosphere of TV accentuates Eves’ voice, which orchestrates the ebb and flow of the track. Especially when the track takes on an epic quality with the thumping drums and the voice of Eves that’s neither overly saccharine nor too shrill. TV emphasizes that you don’t need to pigeonhole her as the next ‘Lorde’ because Eves The Behavior knows how to craft a damn good piece of pop that cuts through plenty fine on her own.
