New: Young Franco x UV Boi - Anywhere
Australian electronic music's new power couple bring some heat.. We're extolled enough plaudits upon Young Franco this year (start HERE and work your way back), and UV Boi is no slouch either, touring a killer single in Thank U (HERE) and teaming with Ryan Hemsworth and the most-rad Gods (HERE). Both dudes have a pretty unique production style, so it was always gonna be interesting to see what birthed from it, and the results are not disappointing. Anywhere feels like more a UV Boi joint just in tone, but also showcases what Young Franco can do when he's not laying down disco-house grooves. Really the whole release is clearly the melding of two bright young talents in the Australian electronic scene, and we're looking forward to more from these two lads working together.

10/10 Would Listen: ICSSC
10 selections from the hip hop, rap and electronic world from the bossman of ICSSC.. The I Can't Stand Still Collective AKA ICSSC has been throwing parties with some of the world's raddest underground electronic/hip hop/rap acts around Perth (and Australia) for years now, and head honcho Daniel Dalton (who also runs Pilerats Records) probably spends more time listening to music in one week than you do all year. So along with Cloudwaves, Bad Noose and ourselves, will each month provide a list of 10 tunes he's been vibing on the most of late: Rich Gang - I Know Consisting of two of the hottest rappers in the world right now (Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan) and flanked by Cash Money head honcho and father figure to more than just a couple of dudes (Birdman), not even Gucci’s news tape can attract the attention away from this long overdue collaboration. It’s total fire. We can take or leave Birdman, but together Thugga and Rich Homie push each other even further down the ‘weirdo rap’ hol

I OH YOU - Mixtape Premiere/Text Message Interview
The masterminds behind I OH YOU get texting and celebrate the next Hospital Mixtape premiere.. It's been a huge year for I OH YOU, but let's keep it to the recent times - more specifically the announcement just last night I OH YOU were crownded Best Independent Label at the Carlton Dry Independent Music Awards, along with Violent Soho's Hungry Ghost record grabbing a couple of gongs. It comes following some killer new signees joining the fun in 2014 in DMA's and Montgomery, LOLs touring with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs for Listen Out, a new merch STORE, and just general Australian domination. They're some of our favourite humans, and before the awards flowed in last night, we jumped on the old iPhone for a quick pow wow to talk all of these things, along with plenty of I OH YOU DJs discussions, to coincide with the premiere today of their next Take Me To The Hospital Mixtape (hear the first HERE). We love these dudes, and you guys clearly do too, so click play on the mixtape bel
