New: Cosmo's Midnight - Snare feat. Wild Eyed Boy
The Sydney twins are back in the studio, taking a softer approach on new single Snare.. Fresh from a heap of festival appearances and a five-month studio break, one of Australian electronic music's most hyped acts Cosmo’s Midnight have put the lights back on in front of the speakers, dropping their new single, Snare, featuring London-based vocalist Wild Eyed Boy. It's the first taste of their early-2015 EP release, and shows a little shift in direction for a duo that's never been one to hold back from genre-hopping - turning towards a softer, R&B approach with a chilled, low-slung beat pinned down by Wild Eyed Boy's soothing vocals. They're returning to the festival realms to end the year, with appearances at Beyond The Valley and Harbour Party NYE.

New: Midnight Juggernauts - Aerials EP
A new single and EP, with all the sales going to charity.. Throughout ten years of music and monkey business, Midnight Juggernauts have long maintained their adventurous course through the music scene. Recently separated across different countries and different projects, they banded back together on impulse to record a series of EPs, the first called Aerials, (out now via the band's own label, Siberia Records) reflects the world from a vertical perspective above and below, explored in the music as well as accompanying video clip and live show production. They're also taking the opportunity to do something a little different with the album release structure - making Aerials available immediately, and in return for a donation to the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation specifically for Healthcare. It's a classic win-win, rad new music from Midnight Juggernauts for you, and supporting a good cause in the mean time. Check out the truly global video clip for the first single from the EP, Freefall
