Who better to get the lowdown on Jersey than from the queen herself.. Friday 10 October sees Nina Las Vegas's next NLV Presents tour, the International Edition, kick off in Perth at Villa, where she'll be joined by a host of some of the world's most on-point tune selectors. LuckyMe's Eclair Fifi, Booty-beatmaker Swick and Bromance Records/Club Chavel dude Sam Tiba will be joined by Nina and also New Jersey bounce babe/DJ/rapper/producer UNiiQU3 AKA the queen of Jersey Club.

RAE SREMMURD - NO TYPE (GIANNE LEE x HI$TO REMIX) I really love the vibe on this track. Gianni and Hi$to never disappoint when they team up for a collaboration. JAY R NEUTRON - RUN A MUCK This is amazing. I always love how Ballroom and Jersey Club both influenced each other. On top of that this is so cunt and ravey. WALE - THE BODY FEA

Movement are currently supporting Banks overseas, and just released a sneaky little HAIM jam.. If you're getting tired of our bleating on about Movement - too bad. It's not gonna stop til the rest of Australia catches on. They're currently supporting Banks in the US, so while they're star continues to rise overseas, they remain relatively quiet over here. We're hoping that all changes when they melt your face at the upcoming Falls and Southbound Festivals, but until then here's a sweet HAIM cover, and while you're at it go have another LISTEN to their EP from earlier this year.

The 10 songs web editor man listened to a lot over the last month.. Andras & Oscar – Looking Back This is the second single from Oscar Key Sung and Andras Fox’s new album Café Romantica. Oscar’s voice is one I could listen to on repeat for eternity, and Café Romantica could be the most perfect name for these guys combined sounds ever. facebook.com/andrasfox // facebook.com/oscarkeysung And (Dave Rennick) – U Know Me Dappled Cities co-frontman Dave Rennick throws down this high-energy disco jam with the help of a silky-smooth Donny Benet moog solo, balancing nostalgia and now with aplomb.  facebook.com/dave.rennick Lisa Mitchell – Wah Ha It’s hard to believe Lisa Mitchell is only 24 and already looking towards her third album.

We were so taken with the single Mystery, we decided straight away we wanted to learn more. So we went some questions, and found out more. And now you can too: Tell us about about yourself? I’m a producer based in Sydney. I write, produce and perform...the whole shebang, which is quite liberating for me as in the past most music I’ve been involved in has been co-writing and collaboration. It’s a good feeling. What kinda tunes we talkin’? I call it new age R&B. People have thrown in the electronica tag, because that’s a buzz term at the moment I suppose. Production/writing process: I have a nice little studio set up at home which is where it all happens. I usually start with a chord progression or compose a beat and buil

Corona Extra are taking the Portlandindie kings on a free tour around Aus'.. There are few things more exciting than a Portugal.
