Video Interview: Ryan Hemsworth
Post-CIRCO hangs with dreamboat beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth.. Earlier this year when we dropped the first ever Pilerats Rat Pack Compilation (listen HERE and expect the next one soon!) and somehow we managed to score an exclusive track from the one and only Ryan Hemsworth (I say somehow but our Record Label boss is a smooth operator). It was an early proud moment in a constantly growing pile of proud moments in the world of Pilerats Records in 2014, which became even cooler when he came over to headline CIRCO Festival around the middle of the year (wrap video HERE). In the days following we spent a little time with the quietly spoken producer, and given he's just announced details for a new album - Alone For The First Time, due November 3 via Last Gang/Secret Songs, now's the time to share that chat.

Sugar Mountain Festival 2015 Lineup
Melbourne's killer music and arts festival gets a new home and an amazing lineup.. Melbourne’s most progressive music and arts festival - a place for creativity to be absorbed and celebrated - Sugar Mountain will take place in its fourth year on Saturday 24 January, 2015 at a brand new, inner-city location – VCA (Victorian College of the Arts). After three successive years at The Forum, starting with the inaugural festival in 2011, the event organisers - Tig Huggins, Pete Keen, Brett Louis and Nicci Reid - partnered with Melbourne’s Mushroom Group in order to realise their grand vision and 18 months in the making Sugar Mountain returns with a - put simply - stellar lineup of music and visual artists that has us on the west coast scouring plane ticket prices. We'll get straight into the lineup before pouring over the rest of the event's awesome plans for epic change: Nas performs Illmatic Body/Head (Kim Gordon + Bill Nace) ODESZA | Ariel Pink | Soul Clap Horse Meat Disco | The 2 Bears |

New: One Day - Leave Your Windows Open
The good dudes of One Day drop a silky smooth new jam.. A few weeks ago we professed our love for Aussie hip hop crew One Day, featuring members of Horrorshow, Joyride, Spit Syndicate and Jackie Onassis, and they've just released a typically smooth new single in Leave Your Windows Open. The guys spent all of September playing a heap of big shows around the country, backing them up with chill Sunday arvo gigs and preaching the good word of Aussie hip hop to fans hungry for smooth beats and flow from some of this country's nicest dudes. Leave Your Windows Open would also go down smooth on a Sunday, or any day of the week really. While they're taking a little break from the touring life at the moment, Jackie Onassis will be heading out on tour soon (check all the details HERE). Follow One Day: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
