Video: JOY. - Captured (Live Recording)
Brisbane producer/songstress JOY. gives her killer single Captured the grand piano treatment.. We've been enthusiastically following the progress of Brisbane native Olivia McCarthy AKA JOY. since she first popped up on vocal duties for Young Franco's Close 2 U EP earlier this year (listen HERE). Enthusiastically following became changed to anticipation for everything that comes next once we heard her beautiful first single Captured (listen HERE). So while waiting for whatever comes next from this young producer and thoroughly enjoying her social media game, we came upon this beautiful live recording of Captured, featuring McCarthy tinkering away on a grand piano. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have below, and keep your an eye/ear on JOY. from here on - good things are coming. Follow JOY.: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

New: Redial - Don't You Feel *Premiere*
Redial returns to Aus' dance music bringing some serious noise.. For those of us who were balls-deep in the electro-haze of 2007-09 Redial will be a familiar name, bringing an impressive set of banging remixes and originals to clubs and festivals around the country.

It all starts out pretty chill, before kicking into gear and going into a few unexpected areas over the four-minute journey. Follow Redial: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

In the film's opening scenes, filmmaker Josh Roberts, who's been working on skate film material for almost a decade now, gives context as to the project's genesis: "My name is Josh Roberts. I live in Perth, Australia, which is said to be the most remote city on earth. In 2012, I made Domingo, a short independent skate film, that focused on my friends skating the downtown streets of Perth. A few months later, I sent a copy of the video to the Magenta [Skateboards] guys in France, kinda like a 'thank you' for their skateboards providing the inspiration for me to make the film. A couple of friends from Perth were in France in th
