Fuck winter, stay warm with this summer jam from Jasper and Airwolf.. If you hate winter as much as I do, this new disco-house jam from the pairing of producer/DJ/photographer dude Airwolf and normally bass/keys-player-in-the-band-Jakubi, Jasper, should make you feel warm and fuzzy. Girls To Jump is reminscent of the earliest Ducksauce tunes, it pumps with plenty of sassy horns and groovy bass and general good times. These are reinforced in the 70s (?)-sampling video clip you can watch below, right after you've downloaded this sucker for FREE: Like Airwolf on FACEBOOK or check out his BLOG, where you can spy on a heap of his rad social photography as well as tune-age.

...means all other bachelor parties are obsolete..

So kawaii, so bass.. Our absolute favourite pairing in the whole wide world continues today, with Sydney beatbrain Basenji unleashing his first official remix - taking to Sable's new single Foolin'. It follows Sable's remix a few weeks back of Basenji's Speak With A Dofflin (listen to/download that HERE), and turns Foolin' into a slightly more chilled affair, holding tight to a 1am groove before unloading into some super-happy-fun-time bounce: You can download it for free, and catch both artists at the upcoming Circo Festival (details HERE).

"I’ve just poured a fresh beer, and BC farted in his hands and put them over my beer...". FUNNY GUYS By Hannah Valmadre It’s midnight in Dublin and Brissy trio Dune Rats have the night off from their hectic international tour schedule. Naturally, beers are being poured and pranks are being pulled. “I’ve just poured a fresh beer, and (Dune Rats dummer) BC farted in his hands and put them over my beer, and now I don’t want to drink my beer because I’m afraid it’s got poo all over it! What a fucker.”  Brett Jansch, who together with Danny Beus and BC Michaels make the unholy triumvirate that is Dune Rats, quickly and enthusiastically explains the antics that occur while on tour, “It’s a game we’ve been playing. We have this tally with who can cupcake each other more times, and I swear to god BC’s tally must be like, fucking, 35 on me, and I’m at like, two. I’m gonna shit in his mouth. That would be worth like 15 points.” As you can imagine, hygiene tends to go a bit by the wayside when yo

A new single and epic tour to keep you warm this winter.. In case you missed the memo yesterday RE: Aussie House Producers Killing It...well, they are. Motez topped that list which wasn't officially ranked, and like a self-fulfilling prophecy, the South Australia producer has released a new single to commemorate this most joyous occasion of us getting bored and writing articles about stuff that pertains to us. Packing plenty of Motez' signature vibes, with the addition of some super-sexy R&B vocals, it's pretty great. It's also soon to be released officially, backed with remixes by some heavy hitters in Ben Pearce, Silversix, AC Slater, Treasure Fingers and Mo Di. And even greater, he's heading on the road this June/July in the lead-up to his Splendour In The Grass appearance. Check all the dates below, sling him on a follow on FACEBOOK, and get on board the haus music express. Sun Jun 8: Nautic Giants, Gold Coast Fri Jun 20: Secret Warehouse, Adelaide Fri Jun 27: The Factort, Sunshin

Stick ya future-beat up ya butt using your trap-hands, mate.. With the term ‘Australian Sound’ fortunately very quickly falling out of favour, the focus still remains on the artists who fall under that banner, who are admittedly killing it *cough* Sable *cough*. Today however... Today is about the 4x4 as we cast our gaze outside of that particular scene, and onto this country's killer haus music scene. House as a genre is a perennial stayer, but its popularity definitely ebbs and flows in Australia, especially in today’s EDM/ADD club climate. Overseas acts like Disclosure and more recently Tchami are definitely paving the way in 2014 for a more accepting-to-groove climate. ANNNYWAY, yes there’ll be a couple of familiar faces on here, and yes this is another list just rattling off producer names who we think are doing good things... But hang a while, click play on a couple of these tracks, and next time you’re out on the dingleberries and the guy in the DJ booth takes the vibe from 145

The southern hemisphere's largest tattoo event hits Oz in June..

Experimental electronica babe Kučka gives us her new single.. One of Perth's most intriguing and exciting acts, KUČKA has today released her new single, Unconditional. Having A$AP Rocky first sample then ask KUČKA to provide some backing vocals on his huge album Long. Live. ASAP from last year has obviously rubbed off on the producer - Unconditional is a cracking R&B-infused slow jam featuring her ever-alluring vocals and spacey synths. It just oozes sex basically, and you can stream it below or better yet - download it for free: We had the opportunity to catch KUČKA live when she supported Oliver Tank a little while back, and we were blown away - so mark Saturday 7 June in your diary, as she'll be launching Unconditional at The Bird with a new live show featuring commissioned visuals by Venice-based conceptual artist Martina Menegon, plus producer, DJ and Dysney club night founder, fm, Mudlark and DJs Rex Monsoon & Salut Barbut (Facebook event HERE). If you can't wait til then, she's

What do Travis Barker, magic and Kim from The Presets have in common? This interview.. A couple of weeks ago - around the time The Kite String Tangle was busy slaying Groovin The Moo - we jumped on the old wireless to send a few texts to the man behind one of Australia's most popular electronic outfits. During our chat we discussed his time in America at South By Southwest, meeting Blink 182 drummers, comparisons to Flume, and the huge double whammy of CIRCO and Splendour In The Grass announcements. So chuck on his Adventure Club adaptation below, and get texting. For your chance to win one of two double passes to the upcoming CIRCO Festival in Perth (details HERE), simply email [email protected] with CIRCO STRINGS in the subject header - easy.

Die Antwoord are back to haunt your fucking dreams.. Confession time - I very rarely watch a video clip from start to finish. Even though they generally fly under the four-minute mark, I just don't have time. I'll skip through it and make sure I give myself precious extra minutes to social media or whatever it is I do when I'm not not doing social media. Or something. Die Antwoord is always the exception to the rule - say what you like about their music, you can always count an on excellent video clip, and this new one for new single Pitbull Terrier is no different. The next taste of their upcoming LP Donker Mag (due May 30) is a cracker, taking aim at everyone's favourite douche bag Pitbull. And getting fucked up from there. You can pre-order Donker Mag by clicking on the incredible artwork below, and enjoy another fucked up piece of cinema from dance music's favourite South African duo.
