One of this country's bright young things has a killer new EP out.. We've had a rad time following the progress of young Melbourne producer Yeo for the past couple of years. First coming across with him the tune Girl, each new piece of music has been a joyous example of the perfect meld between production and songwriting. The fact he's a super chill, humble little dude just makes it all the more fun and easy. He recently joined Peking Duk for a bunch of shows on their Australian tour, and we were blown away by how well he locked down some big crowds. And with that, we're stoked to premiere his new EP Come Find Me, officially out now (BUY IT HERE), but available for stream below. Get lost in the world of Yeo before the EP's release tomorrow, and catch him at one of the following live dates (which we reckon there'll be a few more of over the summer). Sat 8 Nov: Shebeen, Melbourne Thur 11 Dec: Brighton Up Bar, Sydney Follow Yeo: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE

cln enters Odesza's remix competition - we reckon it deserves your vote.. We've been continuously impressed with young Brisbane producer cln's output since we came across his song Sideways (listen HERE), a precursor to his killer debut EP, Sideways - listen to that one HERE. Well today we're sharing another of his tunes not just because it's great, but also to try and give him a leg up in a remix competition around Odesza's single, Say My Name feat. Zyra. So stream it below, and if you're vibing as much as we are, or even just a little, take two seconds and click HERE to sling the kid a vote. Follow cln: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

Meet the Dutch producer Disney are trying to take down, and his new EP, Cosmos.. When I first heard about San Holo I already thought, I'm gonna like this guy, because I like Harrison Ford, and his name honours one of the great Harrison Ford characters - Han Solo. From the Netherlands, San Holo has dropped his new EP, Cosmos, and he makes incredibly catchy and well-thought out future-beats, backed up with super-tight production skills. Unfortunately it appears Disney have also noticed his Star Wars-honouring name, and hit the producer with a cease-and-desist letter, with a strike fee estimated at around $5-$10 million. Which is crazy ridiculous. Anyway we wish him all the best in that situation - in the meantime you can get to know him a little better below, and stream that killer Cosmos EP, 'cause the dude is legit.

Hype hype hype.. if you can find a more anticipated album than Kendrick Lamar's folllow-up to good Kid, m.A.Ad City, we'll eat out hat. And today sees the release of the first single from that upcoming sophomore release, simply titled, i. Turning to LA-based producer Rahki for what could already be the feel-good hit of our summer, i is dripping with positive good vibes over a variety of different flows and styles. Enjoy it below, and look ever forward to whenever the new album comes, which looks like sometime this year. Follow Kendrick Lamar: FACEBOOK // WEBSITE

Zhu's debut live show at Listen Out approaches.. Listen Out kicks off in Sydney and Perth this weekend, and we're looking forward to it - that's how devoid of creativity I am right now. Anyway Zhu will be playing his first ever live shows over here, which makes sense since you get the feeling Australia has grabbed onto the producer's sound harder than anyone else around the world. The Nightday EP, featuring breakout hit Faded has been killing it, and as a special pre-Aussie tour treat, he dropped a sneaky little cover of Chvrches' Gun last week, premiered on Triple J. It's pretty chiller, but we're digging it - bring on Listen Out. Follow Zhu: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
