In the lead-up to UNIFY, we get the festival bands to answer some quick-fire questions for us, continuing with Thy Art Is Murder's Lee Stanton.

Former Mars Volta and current Jack White band keyboardist Isaiah “Ikey” Owens has passed away according to a statement released by Thirdman Records.

Melbourne punk outfit The Bennies will release new EP – ‘Heavy Disco’ – this November.

The EP's out, it's time to go to the beach and launch it with some shows.. You've probably seen us bleeting on about HAMJAM a lot this past week or so, but we feel it's for good reason. Last week saw the release of their debut self-titled EP, featuring the first single Love - go on, buy it HERE. What we're really loving though is the video clip for Love, filmed by Tame Impala/POND guru Matt Sav, filmed on location at one of WA's famously sandy beaches... We can't stop laughing at the clip, we can't stop singing the songs, and we're looking forward to the band launching the EP with a few special shows next month - check the dates after marvelling at the video clip below. HAMJAM EP LAUNCH SHOWS:  Sat 1 Nov // Mojos Bar, North Fremantle, WA w/ Aborted Tortoise, Kitchen People + Ben Witt (TICKETS ON DOOR) Mon 1 Dec // Monday Night Mass @ Northcote Social Club, Melbourne, VIC w/ Peter Bibby + guests (FREE) ADDITIONAL SHOWS: Sat 8 Nov // WAM Festival Saturday Spectacular, Northbridge, WA w/

Some fresh disco-house from outta Brisbane.. Meet Capetown, a new production duo featuring a couple of Brisbane industry heavyweights - choosing to remain faceless for the time being - but already making waves in the club scene with specially-conncocted remixes for Tensnake and Jacques Le Cont and Young Franco (with an Allday one dropping soon). Before they drop some Alldeezy steez, there's this - their debut single, called The Night, and featuring Phebe Starr. It brings to mind a kind of earlier days Miami Horror days, with Starr's smooth vocal perfectly suiting the track's slinky tropical disco-house vibes, perfect for the dancefloor and a sunshiney beach chill equally. With summer just around the corner, we get the feeling we're gonna be hearing a lot more from these two over the coming months. Follow Capetown: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

A new single, from a new EP, ahead of a US/UK/AUS tour - boom.. Tkay Maidza's our fave, we've said it heaps, so I'll just point you to previous track postings HERE and HERE, where we extoll ridiculous amounts of (very deserved) love upon the hip hopstress. It seems the rest of the world is very quickly taking notice, and today Maidza has dropped a new single Switch Lanes, from her forthcoming Switch Tape EP (due October 24 via Dew Process/UMA), and ahead of a global tour that takes in the US, UK and then back home for the summer (check the dates down the bottom). Switch Lanes was produced by an equally swaggalicous artist in Paces (himself just dropping a new tune and new EP announce LAST WEEK), and it's a pretty perfect pairing, dripping in Paces' signature steal drum vibes with Tkay providing a more-restrained flow that shows a softer, more soulful side. It's just a fucking winner all round. Follow Tkay Maidza: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Drake and DJ Mustard lead the way.. Filmed last month in Atlanta, tonight the BET Hip Hop Awards will air tonight in the States. For the second year Snoop Dogg hosted the rap spectacle, and the full list of winners were revealed today on the BET site. Hip hop heavyweight Drake scooped the pool, winning Album of The Year for Nothing Was The Same, and Video of the Year for Worst Behaviour (watch it here). DJ Mustard took home the DJ Of The Year gong as well as MVP Of The Year – not surprising considering the West Coast forefather pretty much has a monopoly over the game right now, having produced most of the #1s you’ve heard this year. YG, Young Jeezy and Rich Homie Quan were winners of Best Collab – Group for their track My N**ga (who could forget YG’s crazy reaction when he got nominated? You’ll find the full list of winners and nominees on BET’s site. Can’t believe Iggy won over Young Thug in Who Blew Up though. A moving moment came by way of beatboxing pioneer Doug E Fresh paying tr
