New Music: Human Movement – Paradise feat. Eliza Sol
Sydney-based duo Human Movement unleash some serious heat on their newest tune.. After conquering a guest mix on Skrillex’s NESTHQ label, Sydney-based dance duo Blake Gilray and Edward Macdonald AKA Human Movement have released an absolute ripper of a track in the form of the six-minute long Paradise feat. Eliza Sol. Sticking to their minimalistic, dark vibes, the boys have incorporated hard-hitting bass with the eery, shadowy voice of singer Eliza Sol and created a bloody belter of a tune, one that they’ve been so kind to give up for free HERE. Of the tune, the lads had this to say: "We really tried to focus more on the overall flow and progression of the track, we weren't satisfied with the standard kick - snare/clap minimal percussion banger...wanting to keep the track under a dark and minimalistic vibe, while retaining an emotive element. It worked out really well when our good friend Eliza ( who we didn't know even sang!) came into the studio and nailed that "human" element we had

Video: Ego - Between Dreams Mixtape
Audio/Visual maestro Ego releases the full version of his funky mixtape.. After teasing us with a visual edit of Kanye & Jay’s Bound 2 and a Where The Wild Things Are edition of Electric Mantis’ Flips & Flops, Drips & Drops, earlier last year (which also appears in this show), Australian DJ Ego has dropped his full Audio Visual (A/V) live show, Between Dreams, online. Described as a “rip through the ether - a flight through fantasies, fables, fiction, imaginings, visions, wishes, washed-out memories, would-be’s and could-be’s, soundtracked by future beat, bass and house”, Between Friends boasts an attractive lineup of tunes, including ODESZA, Caribou and Basenji (full tracklist below), accompanied by some pretty stellar and psychedelic takes of moments in film, pop culture, '80s advertising and vintage erotica. TRACKLIST:  1. Sweater Beats - Rain Dance 2. Odesza - Say My Name (Atticus Beats Remix) 3. Giraffage - Tell Me 4. Spank Rock - Gully 5. Caribou - Our Love 6. Sophie - Nothing M

New Music: ODESZA - Bloom (Lane 8 Remix)
Lane 8 release a bouncy, feel-good house remix of ODESZA’s Bloom.. It is safe to say that Seattle-raised group ODESZA has had a pretty damn massive year. Their latest album, In Return, was one of the biggest electronic releases of the year, collecting a whopping ten #1’s on the Hype Machine charts, as well as performances around the world, including the Coachella Music and Arts Festival. One of the tracks on this album, the delicate and bouncy Bloom, has been honored by an absolutely stellar remix by producer Lane 8, also known to friends and family as Daniel Goldstein. The remix transforms the original into an absolutely banging house tune, using the atmospheric synth and vocals chopped from the original, Goldstein has added a quick hit of heavy bass and percussion to transform the tune into the perfect summer-house tune. It’s a real banger. Follow Lane 8: FACEBOOK

New Music: Lilt - Don't Tell Me
Perth electronic trio release beautiful new track, Don’t Tell Me.. Following the release of their EP Swim back in 2013, Perth-based electronic trio Lilt (fronted by the sensational Louise Penman) have returned to the centre stage with a beautiful new single, released independently earlier this week. Don’t Tell Me, the duo's first release since their Coming Down single ten months ago, is remarkable. Swelling synth work, crystalline, soft vocals and bouncing percussion build and build until it seemingly explodes at the chorus, dense with menacing drums. Accompanied by a pretty cool video clip and also available for free download (both below), Don’t Tell Me is just the start of a massive 2015 for the group and we are pretty damn excited.

New Music: Stwo - Eden (MUTO Remix)
Fast-rising Australian MUTO producer drops a fiery new remix.. Australian-based producer Miles Davidson, better known under his beat-making moniker MUTO, is no newbie when it comes to remixes. His recent remix of Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around Comes Around has clocked over two million plays on his Soundcloud (we covered it in our 5 Under 500 a lil while BACK), and his remixes of Azealia Banks’ Chasing Time and his latest touch-up, on Stwo’s slow-burning Eden, are just as flame-emoji worthy. Eden, Parisian producer Stwo’s latest tune, is amazing in its own right, with soaring synth work, march band-like percussion and impressive vocal loops combining to create an absolutely impressive slow-burning jam. However, MUTO’s remix does the impossible by taking it to the next level, adding a deep, yet simple, breakdown packed to the brim with heaving bass and percussion loops, and goes to a few different places whilst remaining a certain flow that is, put simply, bloody great: Follow MUT

New Music: Jamie Now – Jamie Now’s Mystical Menagerie (EP)
Melbourne-based producer releases stellar future trap EP.. Fresh from releasing remixes for the likes of Golden Features, Alison Wonderland, HWLS and more, plus an EP release last year, Melbourne-based producer Jamie Now has released another cracking EP to kick off a big 2015. Entitled Jamie Now’s Mystical Menagerie, the EP explores the futuristic, chilled-out trap vibes that Australia has seemingly perfected since the rise of Flume a few years back. The EP starts with the slow-burning The Astounding Reality of the Flabbergasted Panda, which displays a balance of light synth, deep bass and chopped vocals to slowly build into a somewhat heavy song. The Sophisticated Komodo's Elegant Tea Party is a much more upbeat single, with a combo of swirling and bouncing synth packing some serious punch. The EP closes with The Unfortunate Demise of the Silver Fox which is trappier than the previously mentioned two singles. Have a listen to the EP below, which courtesy of Jamie Now, is available for

New Music: Porsches - Horses
Summer-vibes abound on Horses, a teaser from fresh Australian project Porsches.. Summer (noun) – The time of year where everyone in Australia heads to the beach equipped with their finest beers and smoothest tunes. Picking the ultimate summer jam can be a hard one, with piles beyond piles of new releases hitting the airwaves every week. However, thanks to a new Australian electronic duo going by the name of Porsches, we may have an absolute ripper of a contender. Released as a ‘teaser’ of things to come, Horses is the ultimate song of the summer. A killer combination of bouncy synth, delicate vocals, and a smooth electronic beat is all that is needed by Porsches to captivate us with this tune. It is flame-emoji deserving in every way and definitely getting us keen for their debut single (plus live sets) this coming February. Having already debuted on BBC Radio One last week, Horses is available for the cheap price of free via their Soundcloud, however if you rate it so much, you can al
