The disco deviants ace another video, drop some Aussie tour dates.. Throughout 2014 Client Liaison displayed an incredible knack for producing videos so perfect to the duo's aesthetic it almost hurt - check some examples HERE, HERE and their - arguably most brilliant - effort HERE. Today sees the announcement of their final run of dates celebrating last year's self-titled EP release, and it once again comes with an amazing video clip, this time for single Pretty Lovers, filmed at a typically extravagant all night breakfast party. Take it in below, and check their tour dates after that: Follow Client Liaison: FACEBOOK / WEBSITE

The UK house duo take us through a night on the decks ahead of their Australian tour.. The 2 Bears are British producer/DJ duo Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), who've been traipsing around the globe delving into a variety of styles including house, hip hop, 2-step, garage and more, and have been frequent visitors to our shores since their 2009 formation. They're back down under over the Australia Day weekend, and given they're wealth of knowledge in the dance music realm, we thought we'd find out what a perfect night may consist of for them behind the 1's and 2's. Grab their latest album The Night Is Young HERE, get learned on smooth-as-silk house sets below, and check their tour dates down the bottom: Numero Uno – What are we starting with? We quite often start with a track called Soul Train by Soundstream. It's sonically solid, it has a big train horn at the beginning. It's a simple disco-nagger that grows and grows. A good one to set the tone. The crowd is warming, it’s time

Vic Mensa tells of being struck by 15,000 volts, and racial issues in the US ahead of his Laneway appearance.. Vic Mensa had a breakout 2014, kickstarted by his huge single Down On My Luck, along with being apart of/starting the Save Money collective with Chance The Rapper and Joey Purp. He's in Australia this month appearing at the Red Bull Music Academy x Future Classic Stage at St Jerome's Laneway Festival and a couple of sideshows (dates down the bottom), and Liam Apter was fortunate enough to have a candid chat with the young star on the rise: Hey Vic how's it going, where are you at the moment? I’m in Chicago, my hometown. Cool let's start there - I wanted to asked about how when Lollapalooza was on in Chicago a few years you got electrocuted by like 15,000 volts! Is that true? Yeah man. I got fucking shocked when I was trying to get into Lollapalooza and I fell like 30 foot off a bridge because I was shocked by like 15,000 volts. And I performed at Lollapalooza that next year an

Set to serve as the B-Side on the new All They Do single.. Scheduled to be released on the upcoming All They Do single, Pieces is the latest tune to come from Tasmanian-based producer Akouo - an artist we've covered plenty over the past 12 months (HERE, HERE and HERE are some good start points). In standard Akouo fashion, Pieces is a brilliant display of the futuristic bass genre picking up speed across Australia. With a heap of distorted bass, syncopated percussion and delicate vocals in all the right places, Pieces is nothing less than bloody brilliant. Have a listen below and be sure to grab the single when it is officially released come January 26.

After releasing his monstrous track Award last week, New York-based producer Brenmar has dropped his latest offering in the form of Hula Hoop, featuring Jersey Club star UNiiQU3. Mashing the hectic percussion and quick pace of the Jersey genre with a heaving brass section and spoken vocals by the NLV Presents star, Hula Hoop is a track guaranteed to get you hula-hooping dancing in no time at all. You can listen to the tune below and if you fancy it enough, be sure to cop the whole EP via iTunes when it is released on January 20. Follow Brenmar: FACEBOOK / TWITTER / INSTAGRAM

New York's RATKING may have gone from rappin' in a Harlem dungeon to rappin' Down Under, but it's still strictly no pretending..

Aela Kae's latest single We Come Back is the perfect way to start Monday.. When I last wrote about Aela Kae's track Pure Zone I spoke of the sense of quiet embedded within her music. We Come Back takes cues from Pure Zone but showcases a delicate strength not seen before with the airy vocals and frisky drumbeat. Much like Pure Zone, We Come Back never becomes too loud but the differences appear in the elemental nature of the track seducing your attention. And that discreet difference is what makes We Come Back so soothing and enticing. It doesn't reveal itself in one listen but over time its layered beauty appears. A perfect track to start a dreary Monday if ever there was one.  We Come Back is the first song off Aela Kae's upcoming EP Reverie, and Aela Kae is also part of the same management group, Breaknative, as wunder-artist JOY. so you won't want to miss this EP.    Follow Aela Kae: FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM

Blow off steam with our low-income adventure inspiration.. Welcome to your $0 weekend. (Image: Lotte Stekelenburg). MEMES AT THE MOVIES If watching 85+ internet LOL cat videos on a big movie screen sounds like a good idea to you, then, high five, because it sounds like a good idea to us, too.  The Northbridge Piazza have partnered up with the Cat Haven curate a bunch of the best Internet cat videos (think: Grumpy Cat, Keyboard Cat, Henri, Nyan Cat), and have thrown in a few bonus locally made videos too (AKA Vines from Perth people who have cats) The only major flaw in this festival is that if you’re a crazy cat lady / man, this will require you to leave your furry children at home for the night and step out in public to hang out with… actual humans.  - Dani Marsland Free. Sat Jan 17, 5.30pm. No bookings required. Northbridge Piazza, Corner Lake and James St, Northbridge. Bring your own picnic, get there early to get a beanbag. No pets...haha.  CHICKEN, BEER & T-SHIRTS We’re not going

Welcome to the washed out lo-fo jazz-hop world of Mordialloc, Victoria-based duo Slum Sociable.. Dubbed as Mordialloc’s filthiest animals in the presser I received about Slum Sociable, that is unfortunately about all I'm able to tell you at this juncture. The first thing it did was introduce a place known as Mordialloc to me, which I now know is in Victoria, and whatever goes on out there has produced an absolutely killer piece of lo-fi psychedelic-pop. It first appeared on influential UK website The Line Of Best Fit, and it's not hard to see why - the trip hop elements that have become synonymous with the Bristol area of the world abound on Anyway, and instantly stamp them as an act to watch in 2015. You can do just that when they make their live debut at Sugar Mountain Festival in a couple of weeks, but until then chuck this one on repeat: Follow Slum Sociable: FACEBOOK / WEBSITE / TWITTER
