An amazing debut on the RA charts this year has firmly established 21-year-old (c*nt!) as a leading light in the revived space-disco scene we all froth over relentlessly these days.

RAC Portfolio by RAC The Clubfeet record is almost finished, so stay tuned for more information on that one as it comes to us. Enjoy them at CMJ this year if you’re making [...]
YouTube Symphony
The YouTube Symphony set-up shop in Sydney this year – Tourism Australia had the cute idea of partnering artists from the Symphony with established Australian indy artists, throw them around the countryside and see what kind of music popped out the otherside. Andy Bull, Cullen, Luke Webb and some lad called Everett Smith were the [...]
Scenic
Always getting behind our local lads (oi oi oi n’ shit), this is a track from a WA four piece called Scenic. Really sweet n’ twinkly disco-house number here – I can only assume they’ve got the live arena in their sites. Here’s their debut, it’s got a fairly shattering downwards chord progression that starts [...]

Tim and Jean
Fuck the Similou rip-off allegations, where the fizzle did that band go anyways? Up their own high-pitched egos I guess. This is the current single for Tim and Jean (which is pronounced Gallic-like, not like a nice pair of denims). Shot in the desert around Coober Peedy, Australia and directed by Stuart Bowen. That ‘I [...]

They’ll be playing around in Australia at the following parties – do not miss out, they always come fully armed with a holster [...]
Mark Dodds’ Top 100 Tracks of 2009
Mark Dodds is not only an awesome dude but also knows a shitload about music. Really cool music as well. I first met him at the end of 2008 when Electrorash had been running for about 15 months or something. At the time I was working on a niche music ad network and Mark was [...]

Matt & Kim Australian Tour
Matt & Kim look like so much fun. So much fun that at the end your mum has to say to you “I think it’s time you had a lie down now” but you are so excited and energetic you just want to drink more cordial and climb a tree. Well that’s what they do [...]
The Presets – Apocalypso (New Album)
Thanks to the delightful lads at DiscGo IsUm (no idea what that name means) I have learnt about the new Presets album Apocalypso. This is something I have been eager to hear for two years now since Beams rocked my little world. Beams gave me faith that Australia could produce amazing electro music that wasn’t [...]
