Live Review: Of Leisure kick off second Blue Line Steppers compilation with new Fishing single

Sydney label OF LEISURE have announced they're going for round two with their Blue Line Steppers compilation this week, and have kicked things off in style with a new single from none other than fellow Sydney legends, FISHING.

Teaming up with Alister Wright (Cloud Control, Vlossom), Fishing channel nostalgic Madchester vibes for 'Good Spirits (In All My Things)'. It's full of warm, high energy with gentle synths, a thumping beat and Wright's echoing vocals, all combining for an undeniable two-stepper. Tapping into an underground house sound, 'Good Spirits' is a whimsical, otherworldly adventure, with Fishing remaining firmly in control throughout the hypnotic, meditative track. It's a solid, exciting return to form for the pair with this being their first release in three years, following on from their legendary 2017 EP, Pleasure Dome.

The first taste of the forthcoming compilation, Fishing are in good company on Blue Line Steppers 2 as they're joined by the likes of Chetch, Mango, Ginoli, Freda, 2XM, Sophie Forrest and Penelope Two-Five. This particular track is out July 3rd, with the full compilation out in the world July 10th. Furthermore, all additional proceeds from the purchase of Good Spirits (In All My Things) and the pre-order of Blue Line Steppers Vol. 2 will be donated to Support Act during the 24 hour period from 5pm AEST on July 3rd.
