The Matador have posted a light-hearted and novel YouTube playlist, beginning with part one provided by vocalist Nathan Wyner.

A lusciously dreamy piece of electronic pop from Perth's Flower Drums.. Bad Websites is the first single from Perth four-piece Flower Drums' upcoming seven-track EP 28 Mansions, and it's one of the most delicately crafted pieces of electronic-pop we've heard in a long time. They've very quickly emerged as one of this part of the world's most exciting new acts, layering swirling, warm synths over dark, rhythmic percussion, all under-pinned by a deep understanding of pop and dream-pop sensibilities. After winning the triple j Unearthed Competition to play St Jerome's Laneway Festival earlier this year, it's been a steady build of momentum over 2014, which is beginning to crescendo towards early next year's EP, which has plenty of promise given the quality of Bad Websites:

Paces proves it's not all about the Doritos with an accomplished 3-tracker.. Following the release of his first single with new home etcetc a few weeks ago in On My Mind feat. Youth, Gold Coast producer and part-time Surcut Kid Paces has released the full EP that homes the track, and it's a tidy, self-contained release that feels a lot more rounded than a lot of what we see these days.

Each track feels different to each other, but not separate. Basically, I love it, and it continues a good run following his work with Aussie hip hop queen Tkay Maidza on her recent single Switch Lanes, and bodes incredibly well for the coming summer.

The banger-machine has been vibing on Perth duo Slumberjack.. We're not sure what's bigger news this week - that Skrillex just performed a Celine Dion cover on a grand piano on Diplo's boat party in the Carribean, or that young Perth producers/Wonderland local headliners Slumberjack just had their track Body Cry feat. Father Dude (the first from an upcoming EP release) hand-selected by the internationally renowned Skrillex to feature on his Top 10 Tracks on his Skrillex Selects Soundcloud. The second one is definitely more exciting to us... and means huge exposure for Perth's electronic music scene - although Skrillex does have a quite nice voice.   On top of Skrillex's heckers tour schedule (that in the last few months has seen him play huge festivals Coachella, Hard Summer, Ultra Festival, the Mad Decent Boat Party, and will very soon see him jet around Australia for Stereosonic Festival), the producer otherwise known as Sonny Moore is widely regarded for his taste making and talent-
