Mrs Mac's Presents - A Creative Journey: Part 4
WA producer DYP gets on board the creative journey.. As far as a bio goes, Iain Campbell has been playing out as DYP since 2009. His first gigs were a part of the very first ICSSC parties, and we all know how legendary they were and continue to be. DYP dropped his first release in 2011 L2S Recordings, he’s also since put out music on BassMachine Records and Slime Recordings all while continuing to play live and host various radio shows. Never one to turn down a party, DYP has played shows not only in Australia but also in the UK, Denmark and Jamaica, and featured alongside many acts from around the world, most notably Ben UFO, Oneman, Deadboy, L-Vis 1990, and Bok Bok. DYP was last seen blowing up in the Boiler Room and at Circo Festival. DYP jumped on board Mrs Mac’s creative journey as we needed some music to go along with our adventures. Iain had the crazy task of making a new a track in two days while away on the trip, and somehow making it flow with what Kye and Andrew were doing.

Loston - Drown
Perth lad Loston rolls another new original out - and it's aces.. It's been a pleasure following WA-based producer Loston's growth from his original edits to now focusing on his own originals. His James Blake and Sampha touch-ups got your curiousity (and a lot of others' judging by how well they killed Hypemachine and the like), but as we mentioned with the release of his most recent tune Next Exit - his originals now have your attention. And so it goes with latest effort, Drown. Premiering on Stoney Roads this WEEK, Drown has us still guessing about Loston's "sound" so to speak, but that can only be a good thing. Celebrating the one year anniversary of the bird of "Loston", this is as chill as they come, and with tracks in the works featuring the likes of Thief and Nicole Millar, we continually look forward to what comes next: Follow Loston: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD Read an interview with Loston HERE, listen to Next Exit HERE and his Sampha re-work HERE.

Split Seconds - Delivery
Split Seconds announce a new EP called Neil Dumb & Young with a new single.. Melbourne-via-Perth Split Seconds are back with a new single, announcing the release of their upcoming debut EP Neil Dumb & Young with the track, Delivery. The single has a few little tricky production techniques we haven't yet heard from the four-piece, and there's plenty to like about it. A rumbling slice of indie-pop, the heavy drums and delicate guitar work, along with Sean Pollard's ear-pleasing vocal work are as usual a joy to behold, and bodes well for the upcoming EP release, with that genius title - of which Pollard says: "It came from a dream in which Neil Young was trying to sell me one of his Pono things, and all I wanted to do was get him to sign my vinyl copy of On The Beach. I thought it summed up the weird musical world we all live in at the moment. Plus it's a good pun." Follow Split Seconds: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD Five fave songs with Split Seconds HERE.
