New Music: fLako: Kuku EP Stream + Video
Listen to London producer fLako's intriguing new Chilean-soul influenced beats.. fLako - Dario Rojo Guerra - is a German-raised, London-based producer, with Chilean roots, that’s been making incredible, mystical and atmospheric music for a while now. International music tastemaker Gilles Peterson once rated fLako as the ‘most highly rated emerging producer’ out right now. For some reason though; he seems to keep a low profile most of the time; despite being up there with producers such as Lapalux, or Flying Lotus, when it comes to his talent for making wonky electronic tracks. However, that looks set to change; with a new EP out now, and debut full-length on the way. It’s been nearly three years since fLako’s last EP Eclosure, although we were lucky enough to get a big dose of fLako via his work on Eglo Records' singer Fatima’s debut album, Yellow Memories, that came out on Eglo, as well as the B Side on her incredible Family / La Neta 12” – Black Dough (listen HERE).

#JDFutureLegends Presents: The Kite String Tangle Live Show Premiere
The Kite String Tangle is turning his live show up to god mode.. So yesterday we threw up a silly little thing on the old 'Book with our video man Tay Kaka and electronic wunderkind Danny Harley AKA The Kite String Tangle, fooling around in front of a green screen: Post by Pilerats.   And while we were having a laugh, the fruits of that assignment have been announced properly today, as we've been working closely with Danny Harley, Queensland design outfit IKONIX and Jack Daniel's to create the next #JDFutureLegends project - a brand new live show for one of this country's biggest electronic music acts, which will premiere in Melbourne later this month.

Video: Purity Ring - Push / Pull
Purity Ring premiere the first video from their forthcoming 'Another Eternity' album.. We were awash with Purity Ring fever in December last year, when the Canadian duo released their first music in two years (since their 2012 album Shrines) with dreamy single Push / Pull, a track that, along with subsequent release Begin Again, demonstrated Purity Ring ability to make killer music is as strong as ever, and that has us hanging out for their sophomore release, Another Eternity, which is due out next month. A couple months on, Megan James and Corrin Roddick have just given us the visuals to accompany the track. The surreal video is directed by Renata Kaksha, and begins with Megan’s face enshrouded in darkness, before she tumbles through a cosmic ocean of purple and pink, in a visual echo of the track's lyrics: "A fever billowed with the wind / And I obeyed the sky therein." Dressed in a pink ostrich feathery-like dress, James weaves in and out of her own hair, before light begins to radi

Video: Ego - Between Dreams Mixtape
Audio/Visual maestro Ego releases the full version of his funky mixtape.. After teasing us with a visual edit of Kanye & Jay’s Bound 2 and a Where The Wild Things Are edition of Electric Mantis’ Flips & Flops, Drips & Drops, earlier last year (which also appears in this show), Australian DJ Ego has dropped his full Audio Visual (A/V) live show, Between Dreams, online. Described as a “rip through the ether - a flight through fantasies, fables, fiction, imaginings, visions, wishes, washed-out memories, would-be’s and could-be’s, soundtracked by future beat, bass and house”, Between Friends boasts an attractive lineup of tunes, including ODESZA, Caribou and Basenji (full tracklist below), accompanied by some pretty stellar and psychedelic takes of moments in film, pop culture, '80s advertising and vintage erotica. TRACKLIST:  1. Sweater Beats - Rain Dance 2. Odesza - Say My Name (Atticus Beats Remix) 3. Giraffage - Tell Me 4. Spank Rock - Gully 5. Caribou - Our Love 6. Sophie - Nothing M

Video: Peter Bibby - Stinkin' Rich [Pilerats Live Recording]
An acoustic version of one the standout tracks from Bibby's Hates My Boozin' album.. "When somebody mentions this 'Australia Sound' thing I don't think of the instrumental hip hop or chillwave that they're generally referring to, I think of people like Paul Kelly, Will Wagner & The Smith Street Band... and Peter Bibby. It's not just because they're singin' songs with our accent, it's the stories and on-stage banter that mostly defines that Aussie identity in music for me. Having been brought up in Perth's eastern suburbs, worked as a plasterer and busking for a little bit, he's seen enough of the real suburban Australia to project us a little more genuinely to the world than theatrics like Croc Dundee - and coming from the same circles of talent as world beating Perth bands like Tame Impala and Pond, I can't help but feel the number on Peter's ticket out of here is about to be called." The above is an excerpt from our beloved magazine in regards to an article about Peter Bibby, and lik

Video: Skrillex - Doompy Poomp Directed By Fleur & Manu
Skrillex combines with directors Fleur & Manu as part of the Creators Project.. Following the news of Sable's appearance in the latest Skrillex Selects playlist, we have some more Skrillex-related news that's no less worthy of your attention. The producer has teamed up with The Creators Project for a video clip to a song he himself has deemed unclassifiable - Doompy Poomp, from last year's Recess album. The video was made by incredibly talented French director duo Fleur & Manu (who recently did the visually impressive clip for Movement's Ivory), and follows one man's attempt at getting a home loan, but quickly escalates into a hilarious and repetitive alter-dimension. It packs some seriously loopy Mr Oizo vibes, and is all kinds of awesome. To read more about the colab, check out The Creators Project. Follow Skrillex: FACEBOOK / SOUNDCLOUD / TWITTER / WEBSITE
