Quoting The Mighty Boosh in their description for Triple J Unearthed , Sydney duo OLYMPIC AYRES have dubbed themselves as “genre spanners”, and they are not wrong. We are now going to introduce you to OLYMPIC AYRES because you will be sure to see more of these electronic wizards in the new year. OLYMPIC AYRES began in an old dusty attic in Sydney with members Kamaliza and Mmiiddii creating tracks on a [...]

It's official. We're a week away from that holiday we outwardly dismiss and inwardly anticipate. I've never been a very good gift giver, but it's the thought that counts, right? No, wait, that's crap. Especially when it comes to significant others. God, it gives me heartburn just thinking about it. The longer you're with someone, the more you have to outdo yourself. I mean, it's exhausting. That's why it's important to aim low the first year, and, like fine wine, get better with age. Relationships are hard enough with all the listening and caring; don't let a horrible, thoughtless gift [...]

Aside from the fact that Triple J Unearthed have cottoned on and selected them as the winners for a slot at Field Day, something big has to happen for Olympic Ayres soon. Perhaps spurred on by their newly invigorated live show that now features live drums. Their latest EP offering "Episode II" reminded us how (in)credible modern electronic pop music can be. Tracks "The View", "River Song", "Loose You" are all tie-dyed in a different colour of soul and romance. They've now backed it up perfectly with a remix package featuring Purple Sneakers DJs (Sydney), SAFIA (Canberra), Moonbase Commander (Wollongong) [...]

In a 12 month period which saw the guys play Groovin The Moo tour, Pyramid Festival, Big Day Out, and play dates across the US and South Africa with acts like Diplo, Flume, Odd Future, 360, Star Slinger, Miike Snow and buttloads of others Purple Sneakers DJs also stepped up their production work beyond just remixes to releasing their own debut single 'Last One Standing (feat. Amy Pes)' on New York specialist dance label Plant Music. The guys have recently done a few rad re-rubs for some of their local buddies like [...]

Sydney duo OLYMPIC AYRES released their second EP Episode II a few months back with a sensibility that played it fast and loose with genres, and now with a Episode II: The Remixes we have the original EP re-released as a remix set, with each track remixed by a different producer, all staying true to duo's genre spanning attitude. With remixes from MOONBASE COMMANDER, SAFIA and our very [...]

It was a stormy yet sticky evening on Thursday in Sydney. The weather was frustrated; causing people to forget what season we are presently in. However, if you were one of the few of us who escapaded into the depths of GoodGod's Danceteria on this same night, you'd know that all of this weather nonsense was soon forgotten due to the performance CITY CALM DOWN gave us in celebration of their brand new EP release, Movements . Sydney pop band Gnome opened up the show. Outlaying their dreamy, ethereal [...]

The return of Joebags is here! I've been gone all summer from the blog world, but now I'm back to help you with your music needs! Over the summer, I have found some realyl good stuff, and I'm going to hit up our reunion with Olympic Ayres latest groove, Episode II. From the first punch in The View (track number uno), I already knew this one some grade-A Aussie goodness. The simplistic instrumentation and the one-two staccato of the vocal patterns really blends really well, and into the chorus it has an almost an r&b feeling with that tropical drum [...]

Self-proclaimed genre spanners, (ie one who extends their musical fortune to more than one genre) OLYMPIC AYRES' most recent installment, Episode II hit the webstream very recently. I mean with that being said, another point to be raised is who the heck doesn’t love a second installment? Sydney duo, Olympic Ayres ’ second major addition to their ever-expanding quota of music, is such an obvious step up, musically from Episode I . Fittingly entitled Episode II , the sequential memento overall encompasses elements of different sounds, textures [...]

Brilliant new single from Olympic Ayres (Sydney). Cheerful chords, a hip-popping drum groove, a bass line on its tippy toes and those captivating male vocals doing the world of indie pop a great deal of justice. Olympic Ayres are one of my top picks for breaking Sydney acts at the moment. • OLYMPIC AYRES [FB] • DOWNLOAD | Olympic Ayres -- The View MUSIC VIDEO | Olympic Ayres -- The View [...]

It’s dance music, but you won’t hear it in a club. It’s pop music, but you won’t be ashamed to listen to it - though being ‘ashamed’ may occur when you are caught singing and dancing in the middle of the street with your headphones in. I now introduce you to Sydney producing duo Olympic Ayres and their song Daylight . These two known as Kam and Mmiiddii met by chance at a house party, immediately connecting over the jukebox classics being blared through the speakers. Fast forward to today; after countless gigs playing 90s [...]
