Lido is bringing some Christmas cheer to Australia this December.. Gun Norwegian producer Lido is making his way to Australia for the first time in 2014 (well, he may have already been here under a certain half-shelled moniker previously), and we're beyond excited to have him play our Pilerats X-Mas party (get a full run-down HERE), in addition to the Future Classic x BBE Christmas Weekender. Those shows will see him joined by some serious forward-thinking producers like Sophie, QT, Nadus and HWLS (read an interview with HWLS HERE), and we were fortunate to get some time with him before he lands down under in a couple of weeks.

Win a soul-stirring Willow Beats experience in Perth.. There's a tonne of events happening this December in Perth. If you're feeling overwhelmed by how all the parties and gigs are ramping up, and feeling indecisive as to what exactly is worth your social time and money then hey, we'll make it easy for you. Go to Willow Beats next week at the Astor Theatre next Thursday. Essential. Why? Because seeing an act play a proper headline gig at a proper venue, where they'll play a full set with heaps of added extras, and you have room to dance and meditate on sound, is about 100x better than seeing them play a rushed 'best of' at a crowded music festival with rubbish sound. Also, as far as venues go, a historic art-deco theatre built in the 1920s, is pretty shit-hot place to experience a gig. And lastly (most importantly) Willow Beats are positively peaking right now, entering into the tail-end of a huge year of live shows - all of which you could say have been leading up to this Water EP tou

Hear supermodel Cara Delevingne sing with Pharrell Williams in a film for Chanel.. Chanel’s Métiers d’Art collection runway show is a pretty special event each year - a new Chanel ready-to-wear collection is debuted outside of the official Chanel show schedule, and the show always hones in on a city that's somehow linked to Chanel's history. This year it heads to historic Salzburg, and is sure to be a spectacle of epic proportions. Head designer Karl Lagerfeld has premiered a film that will accompany the show - Reincarnation - a musical inspired by the history of an iconic Chanel jacket, starring international catwalk crazy chick Cara Delevingne and multiple Grammy-award winning singer Pharrell Williams, an aspiring fashion mogul himself. Pharrell plays an elevator bell-boy whose wearing the jacket in Austria in 1954, and becomes a muse for Delevingne, who plays Coco Chanel.  You can't deny it's a beautifully shot l'il thing, and worth it to hear Delevingne sing for the first time (ap

The Avener's latest single, Fade Out Lines, is as if Darkside decided to embrace deep house.. French producer The Avener's track Fade Out Lines, a deep house majesty, has finally become available in Australia and it's ticking all the boxes for a slow-burning hit. Indeed, it takes the proggier elements of Darkside with the throbbing bass lines and adds some vivacious guitar licks. And while it doesn't have the long drawn out builds that Darkside excel in, the coltish choruses add a summery feel that is lost on Darkside and other deep house producers. And that mashing of a dark throbbing bass throughout the build with playful guitar chords in the chorus sees The Avener become more than just another French producer making deep house.

Twin Peaks have a baseball battle in their newest video for I Found A New Way.. It seems fitting with the recent return of Twin Peaks (TV Show) that the band who took their name from the show bring out a new music video to announce their album is being released in Australia too. For those who don't know Twin Peaks, they're from Chicago and they make scuzzy, lo-fi rock with a care-free attitude. They were also friends with Chance The Rapper at school and had their own posse called Dudes On Chief or the DOC Squad.  I Found A New Way has that rough jaggling guitar sound throughout it mixed in with different members of the band, something that they do on all their songs, which gives the band the ability to change the mood of song straight away. Indeed, at the beginning there are this near baritone driving the track as it slowly builds to the chorus. As the chorus hits a rough ragged voice jumps into the mix seeing all sense of control give way to an all-out guitar jam. I Found A New Way is

A dreamy summertime ballad from Lost In Tundra.. From the group formerly known as Tundra, Lost In Tundra return with the other A side single of their double A side release and it's titled Photograph. Photograph is a mellow, blissful cut of a summer by the beach where the sun is shining and the sea salt infused wind is wafting onto you. It's all there in the track, the tingling guitars is the sun glinting on the water and the vocal cuts are the wind gently blowing over your body. And while often music is subjective as to what means what and why that chord is there it seems almost undeniable that this song recreates that sense of peace that comes by the beach in summer. Definitely something to listen to on a drive by the ocean this summer. Follow Lost In Tundra: FACEBOOK
