If you thought Milky Chance's chill acoustic house hit needed more trap.... If you listen to our national youth broadcaster there's a very good chance you've heard German folktronica duo Milky Chance's single Stolen Dance (the video clip is down the very bottom for the seven of you that haven't). We imagine there's a lot of remixes on the way as the track is too perfect for it, and Aussie trap-enthusiast Jealous Much? has taken the track and turned it into quite possibly the most banging version of the song we think you'll find. Fuxing with the vocals into chipmunk styles and adding some rave-horns should about do the trick on this free download: We imagine there's gonna be a lot of you picturing this bad boy going down a treat in the clurb any time after 1am, and for more you can follow Jealous Much? on FACEBOOK and/or TWITTER, or do the same for Milky Chance HERE.

Fuck winter, stay warm with this summer jam from Jasper and Airwolf.. If you hate winter as much as I do, this new disco-house jam from the pairing of producer/DJ/photographer dude Airwolf and normally bass/keys-player-in-the-band-Jakubi, Jasper, should make you feel warm and fuzzy. Girls To Jump is reminscent of the earliest Ducksauce tunes, it pumps with plenty of sassy horns and groovy bass and general good times. These are reinforced in the 70s (?)-sampling video clip you can watch below, right after you've downloaded this sucker for FREE: Like Airwolf on FACEBOOK or check out his BLOG, where you can spy on a heap of his rad social photography as well as tune-age.

...means all other bachelor parties are obsolete..

Seekae have a new single, new album, and tour to announce.. London-via-Sydney electronica outfit Seekae have announced details for their third album - The Worry - due for release via Future Classic on September 12. Their credentials speak for themselves, with two previous albums that topped a lot of Best Of lists, and The Worry is looking to be their most ambitious and intimate work yet, as evidenced by the first single from it, Test & Recognise. After teasing at it last year, The Worry sees the group embrace vocals full-steam, with percussionist Alex Cameron taking charge with the vocal chords. Fortunately for us, with new albums, comes new tours, and they've announced a big one (which we're presenting along with a host of other rad folks!), taking in the following dates with special guest Jonti in the month leading up to the album's release: Sat 9 Aug - Darwin Festival, Darwin* Tues 12 Aug - The Zoo, Brisbane Fri 15 Aug - The Gov, Adelaide Sat 16 Aug - The Villa, Perth Fri 22 Aug

As we knew we had, there were a whole heap of rad people left off the previous house article.. Earlier this week we ran article about the Aussie House Scene at the moment, and as is the point of these kind of articles, it was as much a chance for us to expose people we've been enjoying, as it was for other people to reach out and tell us who we were missing. Some people just got snarky about it and some others were rad enough to do something about it. One of those was Cam Duff, a good friend of Pilerats and the brains behind Heads With Tales, an independent booking, touring and management agency based in Australia. You can find out more about the awesome shit he's doing by visiting the HWT FACEBOOK and/or WEBSITE, and enjoy digging deep into the artists/record labels he reckons are smashing it at the moment.

Norwegian black metal veterans Mayhem are as iconic as they are provocative. The 30-plus year career has seen the band hailed as, “Kings of the underground.” Now, the Oslo based outfit return with their first studio album in seven years – anticipated release, ‘Esoteric Warfare’. “When the question was raised to work with Mayhem again, I thought to myself “Oh please, not again”. I mean, that girl was pretty in the 90’s, but since then years of drugs, party and abuse took their toll. But nevertheless, for old times’ sake, and also remembering that chick always delivered, we made an offer. And we added a dental plan, knowing that would make the difference as they are getting in THAT age...” Season of Mist chairman Michael Berberia comments. Album cover art courtesy of Zbigniew M. Bielak. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ is officially due out on June 6 via Season of Mist. www.facebook.com/mayhemofficial

SOHN began making serious synth waves in 2012 when he released a bunch of slick remixes of artists such as Disclosure, Lana Del Ray and Angel Haze.

Dustin Tebbutt and his tour pals just wanna sleep. Well, now that the tour is over, you can dude!

So kawaii, so bass.. Our absolute favourite pairing in the whole wide world continues today, with Sydney beatbrain Basenji unleashing his first official remix - taking to Sable's new single Foolin'. It follows Sable's remix a few weeks back of Basenji's Speak With A Dofflin (listen to/download that HERE), and turns Foolin' into a slightly more chilled affair, holding tight to a 1am groove before unloading into some super-happy-fun-time bounce: You can download it for free, and catch both artists at the upcoming Circo Festival (details HERE).

"I’ve just poured a fresh beer, and BC farted in his hands and put them over my beer...". FUNNY GUYS By Hannah Valmadre It’s midnight in Dublin and Brissy trio Dune Rats have the night off from their hectic international tour schedule. Naturally, beers are being poured and pranks are being pulled. “I’ve just poured a fresh beer, and (Dune Rats dummer) BC farted in his hands and put them over my beer, and now I don’t want to drink my beer because I’m afraid it’s got poo all over it! What a fucker.”  Brett Jansch, who together with Danny Beus and BC Michaels make the unholy triumvirate that is Dune Rats, quickly and enthusiastically explains the antics that occur while on tour, “It’s a game we’ve been playing. We have this tally with who can cupcake each other more times, and I swear to god BC’s tally must be like, fucking, 35 on me, and I’m at like, two. I’m gonna shit in his mouth. That would be worth like 15 points.” As you can imagine, hygiene tends to go a bit by the wayside when yo

A new single and epic tour to keep you warm this winter.. In case you missed the memo yesterday RE: Aussie House Producers Killing It...well, they are. Motez topped that list which wasn't officially ranked, and like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the South Australia producer has released a new single to commemorate this most joyous occasion of us getting bored and writing articles about stuff that pertains to us. Packing plenty of Motez' signature vibes, with the addition of some super-sexy R&B vocals, it's pretty great. It's also soon to be released officially, backed with remixes by some heavy hitters in Ben Pearce, Silversix, AC Slater, Treasure Fingers and Mo Di. And even greater, he's heading on the road this June/July in the lead-up to his Splendour In The Grass appearance.
