We're bringing you deep, disco vibes aplenty this week, with a brand new line-up of some of the freshest jams we've been bumping as of late. The knights of feel good, French Express , make a dual appearance this time around with an incredible new one from Moon Boots , and a brilliant remix of one of the best tracks of last year, Chris Malinchak's So Good To Me, courtesy of UK producer EJECA . Up-and-comers Branded James and Dude Skywalker also bring the heat with some great new tunes. Each one of these tracks is a [...]
Leave it to Empire of the Sun to build up a proper comeback. After an ridiculously epic next-level-Indiana-Jones-shit trailer , the Aussie duo has finally premiered their new single "Alive" . Effervescent and uplifting, the stomping track is the perfect re-introduction to Luke & Nick's brand of youthful, summery electro-pop. And if the trailer is any indication for the music video, we're in for a real treat. So get ready to soak up the sun, jump in the pool, and look out for the band's highly-anticipated sophomore effort "Ice on the Dune" due in [...]

First there was all the news regarding Daft Punk and now with Empire Of The Sun's latest release, it appears that the stars are finally aligning in perfect order. We, at L&M can hardly control our excitement - and frankly, won't be held responsible for our actions over the next couple months. " Alive ", the first release by EOTS in nearly five years picks up right where they left off in 2008, filling the gaping hole they left in our hearts and once again captivating our childish imagination. Similar to their 2008 album [...]
Only a month removed from a teaser hyping their impending return, cinematic electro-pop duo Empire Of The Sun are back with a brand new single, "Alive." Coming off their upcoming sophomore LP, Ice On The Dune , "Alive" brings on the hooks and cloud-parting choruses in a legendary fashion that only this Australian duo could pull off. Stream it below. Empire Of The Sun's Ice On The Dune is set for a June 17th release via Astralwerks . [...]
"Lovin' every minute, 'cause you make me feel so alive!" It's thus the sentiment with which Luke Steele's Empire Of The Sun at long last return to our ears like polychromic turtles washing up on Antipodean shores for a first summertime, and Alive is quite incontrovertibly one well worth basking in. For not only does it signal the artistic reawakening of the onetime Sleepy Jackson, but so too does it herald the overdue reunion of he and EOTS collaborator Nick Littlemore who, having had a protracted timeout, appears to have reconciled with his crony for [...]

When it comes to New Years Eve there is only one city in the world you want to be. SYDNEY! Why? Because the whole damn Field Day line up is in town making the only headache you are going to have is where to celebrate. Our choice this year is the Harbour located at Keystones Cargo Bar for Pnau , Ajax and What So Not , combining the central location of the water front venue with the intensity of a Pnau set because NYE is about [...]
It’s 9:15 in the morning and Peter Mayes is relaxing in the Sydney sunshine, “probably getting sunburnt seeing as I’m like, the whitest guy in the world”. Peter Mayes is one half of electronic-pop duo PNAU and after their whirlwind of a year, Mayes definitely deserves that bit of relaxation. Releasing an album with the legendary ELTON JOHN has been the main project for PNAU in 2012, but as the year wraps up, PNAU have been announced as the headlining act at [...]
So if you're a loyal PURPLE SNEAKERS fangal, you'd know that we've already told you about Western Australia's Wonderland Festival Inviting you to "come on a psychedelic rollercoaster down the rabbit hole", Wonderland requests that you come and explore the festival that is to be set up in the natural performance space of Belvoir Amphitheatre in Western Australia. According to the Festival peeps, go crazy around the space that will be made of illuminated toad stools, floating hearts, huge Wonderland characters and human sized butterflies! If that [...]
Stoney Roads recently caught up with the Lithuanian based disco producer to chat influences, small talk, and Australia. SR - As a purveyor of the nu-disco/deep house sound, whom are some the artists that inspired you and who do you feel is making quality music at the moment? MB - There are a lot of my favorite producers, who have their own quality of sound, for example Metro Area . In my opinion they create an exceptionally high quality of nu-disco and this sounds like truly new disco. Also [...]
Complete with cracking cover art and replete with cues to the impending Australian summer, here comes the debut self-titled EP from Brisbane lads Yale . Anything but the stuffy George W-producing University of the same name, their sound harks back to that golden period of disco-pop of the early-2000s where producers like Paul Mac were running the Australian dance scene. Vocals sashay between duo, Stefan Emslie and Mark Maxwell , riding over layered synths and those 'whup-whup' bass lines that seemed to pervade early 2000s dance releases ( Madison Avenue [...]
Mika’s The Origin Of Love is thisclose to being the dance album of the year except that the entire record is missing the famous EDM drop.
Elton John commands respect, yet he really doesn't get enough of it. More likely to be called a Queen (as in His Royal Pop Highness) than the king of anything, he wasn't featured in either the opening or closing ceremonies of the recent London Summer Olympics, and as far as I know, he's never been asked to serenade James Bond -- which might be one reason why he speaks so lowly of Madonna, whose "Die Another Day" he once called the worst Bond song ever. (Only someone of his stature in pop, though, could get away with such a [...]
This is mix 49! Most of the other 48 are also available . I'll save the nostalgia and drunken speechs until 50 gets published, but in the meantime here's Ellie Goulding reminding us why the US currently love her, Pet Shop Boys getting a makeover from Niki & The Dove, Bright Light Bright Light getting pummeled by Vinny Vero and all sorts of musical sport designed to make you pump iron or have breakfast or whatever it is you most like to do with a continuous house mix. Lights (RAC Mix) * [...]
