Smirnoff launch the Sound Collective - it's like a house party but with big time DJs providing the beats.. This summer will see Smirnoff launch their Sound Collective project in an effort to take the ego out of EDM and bring it back down to a real level – where the music is paramount and good times with you the main concern. How? Well quite simply really; throwing sweet “house” parties with some of the world’s biggest DJs getting down off their pyrotechnic/flashy-LED throne and partying on the floor with you. For some idea of what it’s gonna look like, Zeds Dead shot the video clip for their single Hadouken in the #Smirnoffhouse at this year’s Tomorrowland, and they’ll be bringing a similar party to Stereosonic later this year. Bringing the bangers down to your level gives us Boiler Room-esque warm fuzzies, and we’re looking forward to much more of this over the coming summer.

The dream team finally re-unite for a take on Rodriguez's classic.. Don't pretend you didn't at some stage enjoy the heck out of We Speak No Americano when it became the one and only go-to track for clubs/pubs/parties/RSLs in 2010. Sure Yolanda Be Cool had to denounce themselves from it a year or two ago, but that's only because you all played it THAT much. Well it's been four years coming but YBC and DCUP have finally re-convened on a new jam, ready made for foot-tapping and club grooving. The reunion tales goes a little like this: Andrew (YBC): “We always intended to do more tunes together, but we just never seemed to be able to be in the same room for long enough. Then Duncan moved to Melbourne and for a while, I guess we just did our own thing.” Duncan (DCUP): “As much as we wanted to do more tunes together, apart from finding the time, we also knew that finding a sample with the same magic as Americano was a must. We didn't want to just put out tunes for the sake of it. Fast forwa

The Byron Bay chill bros have put together a silky-smooth 7-tracker.. We've been frothing on Bryon Bay five-piece since we came across their single Overcome feat. Merryn Jeann (listen to it and learn a bit more about them HERE), and since then they've been growing at a rapid pace, no doubt aided by a much-lauded appearance at Splendour In The Grass earlier this year. They've now dropped their new EP, Eat The Sun, and it's a beautiful collection of music, featuring delicate production and soothing vocals, that will see the group garner plenty more fans. With an impressive live show to back up such a strong release, one gets the feeling it's only onward and upward for these dudes. Follow Tora: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Let's remember some of the crazy fucked up times we had with this rad duo.. Canadian singer Alice Glass has announced her departure from Toronto-based electronic outfit Crystal Castles (which consists of her and producer Ethan Kath), which means the band is over. It’s not all shit though, looks like Alice is embarking on a solo career. Glass wrote on Twitter: “I am leaving Crystal Castles. My art and my self-expression in any form has always been an attempt towards sincerity, honesty, and empathy for others. For a multitude of reasons both professional and personal I no longer feel that this is possible within [Crystal Castles].” They formed in 2004 which makes it a good 10-year run for this hardcore 8-bit duo, who were among a special group of early noughties acts (Does It Offend You, Yeah?, HEALTH, Hadouken, etc) to bring the nihilistic, manic tendencies of punk music to club music. Live, they always slayed; Alice’s shouting and restless energy, the seizure-inducing lights. We though
