Golden Features' Golden Treasures
A few of Golden Features' favourite things.. Header photo via AdamNOTeve / CAN'T SAY. CIRCO Festival is so freaking close AKA Saturday June 28 for those playing at home (go BUY SOME TICKETS if you haven't already), and one of the artists we are most excited about is Golden Features. The mysteriously masked man dropped a cracking (free) EP on us at the start of the year and has been backing it up with some huge sets since then. Over that time we've slowly learned more about the producer, whose real name is Tom Stell from Sydney, formerly of big room EDM duo Kyro & Bomber. We asked Stell to take a few photos of his favourite things, so peel a few more layers back behind the mask, and get amped for CIRCO Festival. 1. MY MASK First things first, this is my face. It was fabricated by the amazing people at Big Kahuna Industries who have made props for a bunch of movies including The Matrix. For anybody wondering, it's extremely hard to see through. 2. MY ZOOM H6 RECORDER Next up is my Zoo

10 Years - 10 Records with The Community
Celebrate 10 years of Community Records with their 10 fave releases.. From a two person street art project to a collective of 30-plus, The Community is celebrating 10 years of awesome music, art and parties this weekend - Saturday 21 June, with one seriously epic show over two rooms at The Bakery. Featuring Naik, Mathas, Diger Rokwell, YLEM, Vishnu, Lowaski, Ouroboinc Plague, Maxy Bills, The Boost Hero Man, Archi, DJ Silence, Wisdom 2th, Empty, FG, Yarhkob, Setvice (Band), Arms in Motion, Sibalance, Tripl M.U.M and DVS, you can find out more details on the event HERE. We asked two of the Community's main men - and celebrated artists in their own right - hip hop head Mathas and worldly beatsmith Diger Rokwell, to reflect on the past decade of unearthing serious underground talent on the west coast with 10 of their favourite releases from The Communtiy stable. Enjoy them below, and keep up to speed with The Community's goings-on via their FACEBOOK and/or WEBSITE.

Zhu - Faded (ODESZA Remix)
This year's biggest dance track gets the ODESZA flip.. Sometimes the stars just align and some of your favourite artists combine for rad results. In today's edition of that happening, one of the CIRCO Festival acts we're beyond excited about is ODESZA (check our interview with them HERE), and they've turned their attention to Zhu's huge (and getting huger) track, Faded. We have it on pretty good authority Zhu will be down under a bit later in the year (in fact there'll probably be a post about that tomorrow), but until then enjoy ODESZA's slightly darker take on what will surely end up being one of 2014's most played tracks. Along with CIRCO Festival, ODESZA are playing a few sideshows while they're in the country. It's criminal that it's taken them this long to get down here, so make sure you catch 'em: 21 June: Sydney @ The Roller Den DJ Set at RÜFÜS Afterparty 22 June: Sydney @ Enmore Theatre w/ RÜFÜS 25 June: Melbourne @ 170 Russell w/ Kele & Hayden James 26 June: Sydney @ The Met
