Stevan - AUTO
Following a packed few months of stand out performances at Splendour In The Grass and a sweep of performances on Australia’s East Coast, singer songwriter Stevan has today shared his latest single AUTO. The track utilises indie guitar tones and grunge guitar sounds to evoke a tale of leaving and moving forward from relationships and the process of healing that follows. 


Lara Andallo - What U Want
Following her tour with global R&B superstar Blxst, Lara Andallo has revealed her brand new track and video What U Want. The track reflects on society’s perception of femine presentation, reflecting on being viewed as just a pretty face when perceived from the male gaze.

Jean Dawson & Earl Sweatshirt - BAD FRUIT*
Polymath Jean Dawson has today released his highly anticipated album CHAOS NOW* with a hot list of features including Earl Sweatshirt, Isaiah Rashad and George Clanton. The album is a collection of sonically diverse tracks that paint the glorious creative mind of Dawson. Early standout is the acoustic guitar driven BAD FRUIT* which sees rap specialist Earl Sweatshirt enter a foreign world based off his track record, but with Dawson’s powers it works perfectly. 


BICEP - Water (feat. Clara La San)
Bicep have today released their latest single Water, a fan favourite from their recent live shows. The track features vocals from Clara La San and represents their first piece of brand new music since their groundbreaking Isles album. The track ties perfectly into their already anthemic sonic world, utilising euphoric synths, Clara’s gorgeous vocals and four to the floor kicks to create a mesmerising dance affair. 


GAZAL - Let You Go
Eora/Sydney based singer and songwriter GAZAL has today released her new single and gorgeous accompanying video Let You Go. The track is multi-faceted by nature leaning on indie-pop, folk and grime, strung together by gorgeous hooks and ethereal production. The track acts as an extension of her thought process when overcoming loss as a friend, reflecting the constant back and forth within all of our minds when making major emotional decisions. 


daine - stay close
daine is continuing their diverse and dynamic output releasing their newest sonic hybrid Stay Close. The track has been in high demand since they presented it as a snippet across their socials, and acts as an emotionally charged epic experimental pop track. Now with their personality well and truly on show, it’s scary to think about the heights that daine could get to. 


Tion Wayne - Let’s Go feat. Aitch
MOBO-winning, Brit nominated UK rap star Tion Wayne has just released his infectious new single Let’s Go alongside global superstar Aitch. The two titans of UK rap have combined for another bouncy, dance floor ready tune. The track is equal parts bright as it is clubby, making shoulders swing and hips move upon its first listen.
