People say that long distance relationships just don’t work, well in most cases those people would be right however, those people haven’t met COLLARBONES . Their Facebook description says they’re genre is “long-distance teen pop”, and it is mostly right. In Sydney resides Marcus Whale who sends his track ideas through to Adelaide resident Travis Cook , who then sends it back to Sydney, so on and so forth. COLLARBONES can be picked out of a crowd with incredible ease as both members tend [...]

These guys are definitely going to feature in quite a few end of year lists. Collarbones's sophomore release, Die Young hit all the right spots when it comes to beat driven r'n'b/dance music. On record they sound amazing, but live, they're incredible. Two unassuming dudes cutting loose on stage. It's a sight to see. I caught them [...]

With the neo-90s penchant of Two Bright Lakes , to the innovative electronica from Cutters Records , this was one hell of a variety night. Beat-darlings Teengirl Fantasy opened with [...]
Brothers Hand Mirror. Eclectic is what you can label the Melbourne duo from the outset. BHM is HTML Flowers and Oscar Key Sung (of Oscar + Martin) fame. You may not recognise HTML Flowers at first, but remember he’s that guy who featured on Collarbones with that asymmetrical haircut. Before your eyes move on, here’s a little disclaimer. Technically, this is Australian hip-hop (loosely). But hey, it hasn’t been picked up by the J’s just yet, so let’s save your cringing ‘till later. If you were at the TBL-Cutters showcase at [...]

Picture this: one venue, a bunch of bands and a handful of DJs riding out for about ten hours one Saturday night. There’s a focus on genre and the curators are those running exciting record labels and events around Australia. Sounds pretty decent, hey? Well that’s because it is. If you were at the Factory Theatre on Saturday night, you were lucky enough to experience OutsideIn – a boutique music festival ran by the good people of Yes Please and Astral People . With a monstrous lineup, [...]
Ok, so slowly we're getting back on track. This here is the October Mixtape, chockablock full of my fave tunes of October.
