One of Melbourne's best kept secrets won't remain that way for much longer.. With Melbourne outfit Rat & Co about to join a European tour with Hoodlem, it makes sense they'd drop a sneaky remix of that act's single, Firing Line. Rat & Co recently joined Chet Faker around Aus' on his recent Built On Glass album tour, and you get the feeling they are on a fast incline with their sparse, haunting productions and strong groove. They're album Binary, from earlier this year, was something to behold, and they're one of my favourite Aussie acts. Take a listen below: Follow Rat & Co: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE

We had a sit down with Golden Features before he destroyed two sets at CIRCO Festival this year.. While it pains us to say "hottest dance act in Australia right now", it has to be said Golden Features is definitely there or there-abouts at the moment. He first exploded onto the scene with a free debut EP (listen HERE) in February of this year, and has quickly gone on to become one of the most in-demand acts on Australia's club/festival circuit. At the time of the interview not much had been revealed beyond his mask and a penchat for dark, bassy house, and we talked letting the music speak first, not getting tied down to any particular genre, and his old days graffing around Sydney. Recently Stell has just dropped a killer remix for Aus' dance stalwarts The Presets (listen HERE), along with joining the lineups for the upcoming LISTEN OUT, YOUR PARADISE and BEYOND THE VALLEY Festivals, and one gets the feeling that things are only just getting warmed up for Golden Features: Follow Golde

Young Sable drops a Pokem-honouring two-track 7-inch.. It's been a huge year for Pilerats Records' debut signee, culminating most recently in a collaboration with none other than Bloc Party hero Kele on The One (listen HERE), a cool-as-ice tune perfectly suited for the winter months. However, as we ramp back up to the Aussie summer and with Sable hard at work on his next EP, he's decided to pump out some goodies to keep the vibes feeling good. Following the earlier Pokemon homaging beast that was Mt Moon (HERE), Sable's Pokemon obsession comes full circle with two brand new tracks in Thunderwave and Surf on the Kanto EP. Providing his own vocoder-fied vocals to both tracks, each come pre-destined as the soundtrack to your beach-filled summer on a release that will see a strictly limited run of 7" vinyls, made up of a pokeball disc packaged in a die cut sleeve. Will yours also contain a limited edition Sable Pokemon card? After you've streamed the tunes below, head to his BANDCAMP to fi

With Australian tour fast approaching, Kito & Reija Lee drop a killer clip.. Having been buds since they were all of 13 years old, you might say Kito & Reija Lee were destined to do good things together. On the even of their upcoming Australian tour celebrating release EP II, the twosome have just dropped a great new video clip for the single Starting Line - a euphoric slice of electronic-pop that once again showcases the perfect match that is Reija Lee's vocals and Kito's on-point production.

LA-based duo Overjoy drop their new single via Club Sweat.. After the success of LA-based duo Overjoy's Club Sweat debut Monstrous, which earned support from the likes of Benoit & Sergio and Touch Sensitive, the duo known as Metty and Hoff to their mates are pack on the Sweat It Out-run label with a new single, Stop. Following deeper, darker vibes on Monstrous, Stop has two feet firmly planted on the d-floor (until they start shuffling of course), with groove and basslines for days, and a luring vocal stab making sure you "don't stop". The duo are also responsbile for introducing vocalist Lex Famous to the world - who recently laid down some lyrics for Benson on his tune, Hot Mess (listen HERE).

The clip for Cold draws some inspiration from the recent Warehouse Project Tour.. Following the horror-inspired visuals for the clip to I Want U, and our own video dude's effort on second single Lies, today sees the release of a new clip for Alison Wonderland's latest single and Lido colab - Cold. Taking place in a dark underground moshpit, it features everyone bar Alison stuck on loop, with director Prad Senanayake (The Presets, Aston Shuffle) drawing inspiration from one of Alison Wonderland's recent warehouse project shows. Senanayake was blown away by the intensity of energy that he saw and seeing the tiny figure of Alison being uniquely unaffected the mayhem of the crowd that surrounded/engulfed her. Enjoy below, and catch Alison at Stranded Festival this weekend, before appearances at Falls & Southbound in a few months. Follow Alison Wonderland: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE
