5 Essential Flips With GANZ
5 Essential Flips With GANZ. After rising to prominence over 2013/2014 with his now-patented "GANZ Flip", the Dutch producer is making his way to Australia for a very merry New Year, playing a heap of club and festival shows (check the dates down below). With that in mind we thought we'd ask him for a few hot tips on the remix front, which you can read about/listen to here. 5. Joker - Newham Generals (Trolly Snatcha Remix) For me this is probably one of the better grimey tracks that has been putted out by a dubstep dude which doesnt sounds dubsteppie to me. Def one of the tracks I only wanna jump on. 4. Slum Village - Fall In Love (Moody Good Remix) A hard and dark remix of the Slum Village classic. This one was already a masterpiece but the remix puts a grimey layer on top of it. 3. Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix) The original was already perfect but I didnt expect someone could even make it bigger than that. The intro is dark and mysterious and it still surprises me when the bea

Video: Laura Marling - Short Movie
Laura Marling's single Short Movie is an enchanting slow-burner.. For those who've missed on singer-songwriter Laura Marling's overwhelming talent it's best to describe her as having the bluntness of Courtney Barnett merged with the instrumental beauty of Ben Howard. Short Movie is the title track from Laura Marling's fifth album and she has dropped a music video alongside it. The clip is simplistic in nature, making use of mostly of white and varying hues of blue in a haphazard way as if they were drawn on. Much like many of the best singer-songerwriter tracks it has humble beginnings that slowly burgeon with the expanding array of instruments before blooming with a georgeous strings section. And worth noting is the charming call and receive Marling does with her voice by varying its pitch at the beginning.  Follow Laura Marling: FACEBOOK

Video: Client Liaison - Groove The Physical
It's not the 80s' if there isn't any leopard print.. The clip for Groove The Physical is basically just one of those music videos where the club is on-point, the people are on-point and you're sitting at home eating ice cream because the latest episode of *insert popular tv show* has come out. And after their glorious video for Feed The Rhythm it's not surprising Client Liaison once again smash a rad video clip. So while you're definitely slobbing it out on a couch somewhere Client Liaison are doing their latest '80s styled video with turtle necks and leopard print to boot. There's also a Japanese neon styled zest with pink neon Japanese subtitles appearing throughout. And shot at Melbourne club Hugs & Kisses it just adds to the aura of cool.  Follow Client Liaison: FACEBOOK

Hermitude's Most Memorable New Years Eve
Hermitude chat about New Years and more acts are added to NYE On The Harbour.. Hermitude are a formidable force live; with a clear effort made to actually re-create a live performance at every gig they play, which sees the energy become almost palatable in the air. And ahead of their headlining set at NYE On The Harbour we got a hold of Hermitude to spill the guts on what their most memorable New Years Eve was... "One of the most memorable NYE moments for us was Falls Festival 2013 in Lorne, Victoria. We played right after midnight on the main stage, Vampire Weekend had just torn the place to shreds and the party was in full swing. As you can imagine, we were somewhat nervous...maybe nervous as fuck explains it better. Just before we went on someone threw a flare onstage, it landed right into a tangled pile of leads and cable on the monitoring console side of stage. Shit was hectic, there were flames, sparks and dudes running around with fire extinguishers. The stage manager came over
