Photo: artpunk This little compilation is the product of something I have been slowly working on for a few weeks now. Its an attempt to showcase or highlight some of the brilliant artists in this country that I truly admire but don't often write about. This being said, I discovered a large proportion of these artists from leading blogs such as East to West and Life Aquatic . I would never have come across artists such as Network , Dom_Bird , Motion.Picture.Actress and Yosemite if it [...]

From the 21st to the 25th of November, Vice and Triple R will be presenting one of the premiere events of Melbourne Music Week .

Photo: Samuel Gagnon It's about time we put together another mixtape. This one features some home-grown tracks that i have been listening to lately.

Special thanks go [...]
Everyone has their own take on how the independent music industry (if that's even an appropriate term anymore) is going to sustain itself in this new decade. Some people say artists will make most of their money touring. Some people claim they can continue to support themselves with record sales-most of those people aren't artists.

Electric Sea Spider is created from the mind of Jim Sellars of Melbourne Australia. If you ever listened to the Avalanches relaxation tape (got no clue where i got that from), and combined it with some of those weird tracks that the Gorillaz wrote back in the day you might end up with some of Electric Sea Spiders tracks. Very Groovy, easy listening, ambient kind of stuff. Some tracks from his 2009 LP In Lucid Dreams simply do not have a back beat and are merely a collection of unusual tones and chords that's just "woaaaah [...]
