Flight Facilities - Two Bodies feat. Emma Louise
We have lift off.. Flight Facilities would have to be one of the most consistent acts in Australian, nay, global dance music going around. For the past few years they've consistently pushed out single after single of feel-good disco and house, and while some break out a little stronger than others, it's all liquid gold as far as this guy is concerned. Two Bodies, featuring another perfect vocalist in Emma Louise, is a subdued introduction to their upcoming debut album release, Down To Earth, due October 24 via Future Classic/Glassnote. A bubbly slice of chill-house, and also serves as a little comment on the guys' success thus far: "I don't think if you say commercial means to be publicly acceptable, what's wrong with that?"

Text Message Interview: Pat Stevenson
AKA Hobogestapo AKA Hobopat AKA Hobophonics AKA legend.. In an effort to take a break from invading the personal phone space of musicians, we thought who else could we annoy that could send us some visual gold that isn't just emojis? The answer was obvious, and we jumped on the phone with Pat Stevenson AKA Hobopat, part of the Hobogestapo Photography Collective and also Hobophonics DJs. With an uncanny knack for documenting the best (and worst) of nightlife around the country, he's also joins the likes of Peking Duk and RUFUS on tours and festivals around Australia to peek behind the scenes of your favourite Aussie music celebs. Needless to say, dude's got some stories, and some fucking killer photos. Follow Hobogestapo: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE Follow Hobophonics: FACEBOOK

Interview: Slow Magic
Slow Magic's new album is out today, and that is cause for celebration.. Today sees the release of the follow-up to 2012’s beloved and critically acclaimed ∆ album, and How To Run Away reflects uncharted growth for masked forest imaginery friend, Slow Magic. Oozing both otherworldly beauty and a mastery of production, we've already been teased with a couple of singles in Girls and Hold Still, which you can enjoy below during my brief chat with Slow Magic, for once on a tiny break out of the touring schedule, along with a video feature we filmed with him while in Australia earlier this year: Hey man how’s it going? Where abouts are you today? Secretly I’m in Colarado right now. I have a little bit of break here getting ready for the US tour. Few and far between? Yeah I just got here and I’m about to leave soon ha ha. Congrats on the album, what’s your vibe on the eve of its release? Yeah I mean I’m definitely really excited for people to finally hear it, a little bit nervous I think, j
