New: Mykki Blanco - Moshing In The Front feat. Cities Aviv
Listen to NY rapper Mykki Blanco shred the world to bits with his insane new, punk-influenced track.. “My new shit gonna make the Internet shit themselves…my new shit is very live, noise pedals and shit”… provocative underground rapper Mykki Blanco said this on his Twitter a few months ago in reference to Gay Dog Food: Fem Slick, his new mixtape coming out on UNO NYC Recordings on Oct 28 (a precursor to Mykki Blanco’s debut album Michael, which is due around March/April next year).  The first taste we heard of Gay Dog Food - which is set to feature drill rapper Katie Got Bandz and sexy R&B singer Ian Isiah - was back in September, via New Feelings, a loose spoken-word rambler loaded with outer space sounds and P-funk synths that left, erm, a bit to be desired. But we just listened to the next offering from the tape - Moshing In the Front - which was released this morning, and our cosmic angel has totally come through on that Tweet. The track features a fair bit of noise distortion, wit

Interview: George Maple
The latest apple in Future Classic's eye mulls over a huge year, with bigger things to come.. Jess Higgs is somewhere in Sydney watching a storm materialise over a beach. I’m in Brisbane, surrounded by clutter in my study. We’ve hung up on each, and have been playing ping pong with each other’s calls for the past few minutes trying to get the interview back on track: real professional. Chances are you might already be familiar with Higgs’ work, previously featuring on Flight Facilities’ Foreign Language as Jess, and also as her moniker George Maple on Flume’s Bring You Down.   George Maple, and 2014, sees Higgs taking a step out of the shadows and into the limelight of a fledgling solo career. New single Talk Talk, from her forthcoming EP Vacant Space, is a blend of evocative, electronic production and some sultry, soulful vocals. Currently splitting her time between Sydney, America and London, she took 15 minutes out of her Tuesday morning to talk to me. The new single is Talk Talk.

Interview - Edie Green
Get to know WA-based indie-pop outfit Edie Green as they launch their new AA single.. Summery pop doesn’t usually have darkness or edginess to it, but Perth-based indie-folk-pop act Edie Green’s sound is more complex than most. Brilliant drum beats, great guitars and incredible vocals are all in abundance – they know what they’re doing, and Australia likes it – they came second overall in the national Campus Bands Comp last year, which means they’ve already been given the tick of approval by trend-forecasting, on-the-pulse uni students across the nation. With a double-A side out this weekend and an EP due early next year, Edie Green’s star is on the rise. The first time I saw Perth musician Sophie Wiegele play was back in 2011, outside a small Italian restaurant near the beach. She sat in the corner of the courtyard on a wooden stool and softly sung a number of covers and original pieces whilst playing her acoustic guitar. I can’t remember much about the meal or what was talked about o
