Seekae - New Video/Supports Announced
A sinister new clip, along with local supports for their Aus' tour.. As we roll full steam ahead to not only the release of Seekae's third LP The Worry on September 12, but their national tour this August, Seekae have released another cracking video clip, this time for latest single, Test & Recognise. Directed by Bark & Cat, who have previously worked with the likes of Vampire Weekend's Baio on his solo single Mira, the video delivers more dark and grimy imagery in the vein of their previous clip, for Another. Enjoy it down the bottom, pre-order The Worry HERE, and mark one of the following dates in your calender: Sat 9 Aug: Darwin Festival, Darwin (Jonti not appearing) Tue 12 Aug: The Zoo, Brisbane w/ Jonti & Tincture Fri 15 Aug: The Gov, Adelaide w/ Jonti & Untzz Twelve Inch Sat 16 Aug: Villa, Perth w/ Jonti & Savoir Fri 22 Aug: 170 Russell Street, Melbourne w/ Jonti & That Feel Sat 23 Aug: The Metro, Sydney w/ Jonti & That Feel

Friday Freebie: Banks - Drowning (Lido Remix)
The Norwegian with the midas touch strikes again.. There's seriously nothing rapidly-rising Norwegian producer Lido can do wrong. Scrolling down his Soundcloud you'd be hard pressed to find a dud remix or original there. And that killer run continues with the release of his rad new remix of Banks' Drowning. The slow crawl to her eventual album release has been done perfectly, with the LA songstress employing all kinds of cool kids to re-work singles from the upcoming release. Lido follows in the footsteps of such luminaries as Dream Koala, Kaytranada, Ta-ku and Snakehips, and easily holds his own with his signature sounds permeating throughout Drowning. Starting a some Cashmere Cat-esque intro, the remix quickly shifts into epic synth stabs and happy clappy trap sounds. Putting it out for free is just criminal really:

Introducing - Tora
Beautifully chilled beats out of Byron Bay.. Sometimes you hear a track from a band that you've never heard of before and it actually makes you stop checking Facebook etc. for three-and-a-half minutes. Yesterday that track was Overcome feat. Potato Potato, from a five-piece outta Byron Bay called Tora. You might even send them a Q&A straight-away, and they might even reply even quicker. Immerse yourself in Tora's SOUNDCLOUD, because it's all killer. Tell us about about yourselves? We are five guys in our early 20s from Byron Bay who have a dangerous obsession with music and strive to make unique sounds that anyone can enjoy. Our entire worlds revolves around the fans for whom we make our music. We like to be resourceful so all of our art is made internally and when we need something done we just learn how to do it ourselves. What kinda tunes we talkin’? We have lots of new music on the way that have many different feelings packed into them. Some are chilled/downtempo and others upbeat
