Milky Chance - Stolen Dance (Jealous Much? Remix)
If you thought Milky Chance's chill acoustic house hit needed more trap.... If you listen to our national youth broadcaster there's a very good chance you've heard German folktronica duo Milky Chance's single Stolen Dance (the video clip is down the very bottom for the seven of you that haven't). We imagine there's a lot of remixes on the way as the track is too perfect for it, and Aussie trap-enthusiast Jealous Much? has taken the track and turned it into quite possibly the most banging version of the song we think you'll find. Fuxing with the vocals into chipmunk styles and adding some rave-horns should about do the trick on this free download: We imagine there's gonna be a lot of you picturing this bad boy going down a treat in the clurb any time after 1am, and for more you can follow Jealous Much? on FACEBOOK and/or TWITTER, or do the same for Milky Chance HERE.

Seekae - Test & Recognise/Album/Tour!
Seekae have a new single, new album, and tour to announce.. London-via-Sydney electronica outfit Seekae have announced details for their third album - The Worry - due for release via Future Classic on September 12. Their credentials speak for themselves, with two previous albums that topped a lot of Best Of lists, and The Worry is looking to be their most ambitious and intimate work yet, as evidenced by the first single from it, Test & Recognise. After teasing at it last year, The Worry sees the group embrace vocals full-steam, with percussionist Alex Cameron taking charge with the vocal chords. Fortunately for us, with new albums, comes new tours, and they've announced a big one (which we're presenting along with a host of other rad folks!), taking in the following dates with special guest Jonti in the month leading up to the album's release: Sat 9 Aug - Darwin Festival, Darwin* Tues 12 Aug - The Zoo, Brisbane Fri 15 Aug - The Gov, Adelaide Sat 16 Aug - The Villa, Perth Fri 22 Aug

The Aussie House Scene Is Killing It Pt. 2
As we knew we had, there were a whole heap of rad people left off the previous house article.. Earlier this week we ran article about the Aussie House Scene at the moment, and as is the point of these kind of articles, it was as much a chance for us to expose people we've been enjoying, as it was for other people to reach out and tell us who we were missing. Some people just got snarky about it and some others were rad enough to do something about it. One of those was Cam Duff, a good friend of Pilerats and the brains behind Heads With Tales, an independent booking, touring and management agency based in Australia. You can find out more about the awesome shit he's doing by visiting the HWT FACEBOOK and/or WEBSITE, and enjoy digging deep into the artists/record labels he reckons are smashing it at the moment.

FEATURE: Mayhem – Esoteric Warfare (stream)
Norwegian black metal veterans Mayhem are as iconic as they are provocative. The 30-plus year career has seen the band hailed as, “Kings of the underground.” Now, the Oslo based outfit return with their first studio album in seven years – anticipated release, ‘Esoteric Warfare’. “When the question was raised to work with Mayhem again, I thought to myself “Oh please, not again”. I mean, that girl was pretty in the 90’s, but since then years of drugs, party and abuse took their toll. But nevertheless, for old times’ sake, and also remembering that chick always delivered, we made an offer. And we added a dental plan, knowing that would make the difference as they are getting in THAT age...” Season of Mist chairman Michael Berberia comments. Album cover art courtesy of Zbigniew M. Bielak. ‘Esoteric Warfare’ is officially due out on June 6 via Season of Mist. www.facebook.com/mayhemofficial
