Know Your Splendour - Nguzunguzu
Introducing RBMA Stage feature artists, Nguzunguzu.. Splendour In The Grass is edging closer and closer, with a line-up that is stronger than ever (which is a kinda pointless thing to say given the fest manages to kill it every year), and we're really looking forward to getting back into the dark and wonderful world of the Red Bull Music Academy stage, featuring a host of underground electronica artists. You can click HERE for the original artist line-up that includes the likes of Young Franco, Flamingo, Sampology, and the people you're about to meet in this post, Nguzunguzu. Today also saw the announcement of a few additions, namely Nicolaas fucking Jaar (!), Africa Hitech, Oscar Key Sung and Hiatus Kaiyote. For more info on the rest of the line-up head HERE.

Lanks - Thousand Piece Puzzle EP
Some lusciously chilled beats out of Melbourne.. Melbourne-based instrumentalist/producer Will Cuming AKA Lanks just released his debut EP, Thousand Piece Puzzle, with celebrations beginning at The Grace Darling last Thursday, and a Sydney show at Upsairs Beresford this Friday 27 June. As is becoming commonplace in the Australian music scene, Cuming also fronts another band, Farrow, but has turned his attention to a mature new side project that sees him delving into a beatsy world of folktronica, something akin to a mash-up of Bon Iver and Jamie xx. Green Light is the latest single he's released from it, featuring some beautiful vocals and delicate, sparse guitar work that builds into a light d'n'b feel. You can find it amongst the other six tracks on the full EP below, and head to Lanks' FACEBOOK to keep up to speed of his future goings on.
