Hermitude are capitalising on their well-deserved popularity spike of late, and if they keep up with shows like this it’s only going to keep on rising.

At the core of it all is Conwae’s seemingly effortless grasp of great songwriting – a most excellent local release.

"There are other DJs out there who are brilliant, but I feel like Gusto is my fam, you know? He is like one of my best mates and I couldn’t just replace him. So we turned the live show into a band."

Rocky’s trademark is the slowed down purple drank codeine jams and Clams Casino brings the beat for LVL which is unbelievably abstract for a major release like this.

He then placed his impressive electric 12-string guitar down and exited the stage by walking straight down the aisle – a perfectly weird end to the contradictions of this church of rock experiment.

There’s a focus on the lyrics and subtle melodies, with the production just pushing everything along – but it works really well, even if the texture wears out before the record does.

Kanye and Mr Ocean reign supreme for our Chris Yates.

The band sound amazing with all their elements like the thumping floor toms, jarring keyboards and plinky guitars perfectly slotting into place.

The ‘60s jangle is turned all the way up for last girl, Shelley, where the coolest part is what sounds like a dropped beat that could have been a mistake first time round but they keep it up throughout the duration of the track.

"I was playing house music and electronic music on the air for thousands and thousands of people but I never realised how many people were listening. It was just me dancing around my studio the same way I dance around in my bedroom.”

"I wanted to do something that I enjoyed doing so I just started churning out all this stuff in a few weeks. There was no formula; nothing to tell me what I shouldn’t be doing, which I think was really important and the key to doing something I hadn’t done before.”
