Some great new music from a fresh-faced Perth 19-year-old.. We'll have to admit we hadn't heard of 19 years young Perth artist Troye Sivan until recently. This makes sense on one hand as the single we're rocking today - Happy Little Pill - is his debut release. But on the other hand, the kid has almost 900k fans on Facebook - yep, almost a million. We can probably put the latter down to the release of his song The Fault In Our Stars - released last year and selling upwards of 100,000 copies worldwide, with all proceeds going to a Perth children's hospital. A re-worked version of that song, along with Happy Little Pill will be found on his forthcoming debut EP release, TRXYE, due August 15. The EP promises five tracks of atmospheric pop, beats and ballads, citing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Lorde and Frank Ocean as influences, and you can hear a bit of each in Happy Little Pill below. Produced by Perth duo SLUMs, mixed down by Tom Elmhirst and Jason Cox (Gorillaz, Adele, Empire Of The Su

A couple of dudes from the west coast making some very chill trap.. CHIME are... well if I told you it'd defeat the purpose of this blog post. Get to know 'em once you've had a listen to their cracking first single, Phase, available for free download below: Tell us a bout about yourselves? We're both attending WAAPA studying a branch of classical composition and that's how we actually met. Leon also attended SAE and did a course on Audio Engineering and Music Production based on his dubstep background and I (Aaron) stayed at school and started producing trance/big room music early last year.  What kinda tunes we talkin’?It varies. We have written tunes from the "Australian sound" style to deep house to trap. Mainly influenced by guys like Flume, LDRU, Slumberjack etc etc.  Production/writing process:  We both use Ableton which makes life a lot easier. We catch up every Tuesday night and work on tunes and bounce back and forth between ideas we've had/made during the week. Then we ciphe
