Golden Features takes The Presets even deeper.. Golden Features has been taking Australia by storm in 2014 with his deep and twisty take on bassy house, so it makes complete sense he should team up with Aus' electro legends The Presets for a remix of their latest single, No Fun. The Presets have always had a darker edge to them, one which only grows as they grow into more techy realms of house and electronica, so it's a perfect match really. The results can be streamed below, and serve as an announcement for The Presets upcoming American tour, kicking off late October.

We sat down with local softly spoken tattoo artist Ryan Smith, to talk about what drives him creatively..

Upping the banger factor to bombs/10.. It was only a matter of time really. LDRU and Yahtzel have been bro-ing out for some time now, with both of them rocking tropical banger vibes in a unique fashion, so it was only a matter of time before they officially joined forces. Following the release of The Only One earlier THIS YEAR and a bunch of tours together including Splendour In The Grass, CIRCO Festival and Stereosonic upcoming in November, they've given their duo form a name... Meet Carmada and their debut EP Realise (pre-order HERE) featuring the single Maybe, which you can get a taste of in this fist-pumping teaser below: Follow Carmada: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

One sunny winter's morning we took a short drive to catch up with Sean Morris in his ocean side studio..

World domination has quickly become not the next step, just a reality.. Imagine a world where Azaelia Banks kept making awesome music, but didn't turn out to be super annoying and bitchy and just a general pain in the ass. Well you can stop imagining because Australia's new hip hop queen Tkay Maidza ticks all the right boxes, and dare we say it - with better tunes. The latter point is especially unsurprising and will continue to be so if she keeps enlisting the help of producers like Night Slugs alumni Bok Bok, who lends his dark, future-R&B stylings to her latest release, Finish Them. It'd all count for nothing though if Tkay didn't stand tall with her own lightning-quick flow and soulful vocals, which she packs in spades. We said it when U-Huh came out (HERE) and it almost feels like she's already skipped ahead - Tkay Maidza isn't just one to watch out for, she's already riding high at the top of Australian hip hop. And in a world where established Aussie acts like Bliss & Eso are pr

The first single from his upcoming album gets a sweet animated video.. Following a short'n'sweet Australian DJ tour around CIRCO Festival (re-cap HERE), and more recently a cracking new tune with our own Sable called The One (HERE), it's fair to say Kele Okereke is back. And with his sophomore LP Trick due for release October 10, Kele-fever is definitely on the up-and-up. A couple of weeks ago saw the release of Trick's first single, Doubt, and today a rad little animated clip has dropped. The rumbling, down-tempo housey tune cops a fitting retro animation in the vein of Keith Haring and the heyday of Club 57 scene of the '80s: Follow Kele: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD

The final part of our creative journey.. We could fill this post with heaps of information, stories and so on about our roadtrip, but to be honest it really is as simple as this: the guys came through and the trip was so much fun. The content they created is amazing! So strap yourself in for the next couple of minutes and watch what was created over a weekend on a roadtrip thanks to Mrs Mac's.

The water EP is alive and kicking, and Willow Beats are taking it on the road this December..
