Pilerats

We figured you better get to know this legend a little better.. Last week we had the pleasure of sharing our first ever release on Pilerats Records, Sable - Feels So Good. Since that time it's clocked up over 30,000 plays on Soundcloud, a couple of thousand free downloads, and a heap of love from the likes of What So Not and Nina Las Vegas. Sooooo we're feeling pretty good about it right now. With Pilerats Records our main aim is showcase great music from great people, and John Dewhurst (as his mum calls him), is great people. Listen to our favourite new song and learn a little about Sable, his production process, his hopes and dreams, and his live show, below.

In this edition we suck at getting from one place to another..

We wanted to make sure our first record release was a good'un.... ...and we're pretty fucking proud to say WA product Sable's fresh new track, Feels So Good, is our Pilerats Records #001. Ever since he rocked up to Circo Festival to cover an earlier set after being asked only a few hours before we've been in love with the young production gun from Perth. So far he's already released a bunch of great tracks through WA legends, DIE HIGH RECORDS, and we're beyond stoked to release Feels So Good, available for free download now. Chock full of sunbeams, hyperactive synth shredding, and an undeniable Jersey bounce, Feels So Good is the sonic equivalent of pouring a ton of whizz fizz into a coke bottle, and it's glorious: Click through the Soundcloud above to download for free and/or start following us, find Sable on FACEBOOK, 'cause he's already doing great things.

Colby Bignell from Perth punkers Flowermouth offers his (anti-killing) thoughts on the matter..

We're gonna look at WA's new shark laws from a few different angles.. If you're from Western Australia, you've no doubt copped a full frontal assault from the media about shark attacks in the region, especially since the death of another surfer a couple of weeks ago (RIP Chris Boyd, from what we hear you were an absolute legend). Today the WA government announced an ACTION PLAN to try and combat the fear of many WA beach-goers with regards to dealing with the threat of being eaten by sharks. You can get a full run down in the link above, but basically it boils down to any sharks over 3m in length, found less than 1km from the beach in designated 'kill zones', will be hunted and killed by professional fisherman. One of our contributors, Davey Bostelman, has decided to offer his thoughts on the issue. He's a keen surfer, and spends more time at the beach than any of us. We'll likely offer some other points of view in the next few days, hopefully to just stir up some discussion about it,

We managed a quick chat with POND before they boarded a plane last week.. Last week we managed to get a bit of time with Shiny Joe Ryan from POND before he jumped on a plane to go to the ARIAs. A far cry from POND's humble beginnings around the various backyard sheds of Fremantle. Unfortunately we didn't get a hell of a lot of time with him, but we learnt about their plans for next year, which sound rather exciting. You can catch POND at one of the following dates, and at Southbound/Falls Festival next year.

We have a chat to the Melbourne based street artist, graphic designer and illustrator.. Peche is the moniker of Australian artist, illustrator and graphic designer Dipesh Prasad. His work pretty much speaks for itself, and we caught up recently for a Q&A.

Palace are invited to reimagine British art into a new range of skateboard decks. After the recent £45m redesign, London art gallery The Tate are working to reach out to an audience slightly younger and more diverse than usual. They've just linked up with Warp Records for a programme of installation and performance events involving creatives such as Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Oneohtrix Point Never and Jeremy Deller - Palace Skateboards are also involved and they've gone and reinterpreted some incredible British art onto a new range of decks.

Cara Delevingne sheds her wings for the pearl.. I recently developed an obsession with pearls and was going to write about this perfect Akoya pearl ring by Sophie Bille Brahe, but then I found something even better. We recently saw Cara in the Victoria’s Secret 2013 Fashion Show gorgeously donning a black sequin bustier ensemble and maleficent wings (and of course fooling around with the $10 million Fantasy Bra). Now, photographed by the amazeballs Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, La Perla’s Spring 2014 campaign features Cara, along with models Liu Wen and Malgosia Bela. While the brand designs some wickedly sexy (and cruelly pricey) lingerie, Cara's fierce brows and penetrating eyes complete the devastatingly pleasing looks.  I can’t wait to see the whole collection, but here’re some peeks: La Perla WEBSITE
