Things are running a bit off schedule this week with The Hip-Hop Dojo, so I want to apologize. However, I assure you that the extra wait will certainly be worth it. Given the long wait, I want to cut the clutter down as much as possible so you can get right to the music. We start things off with Blame One who explores some existential themes, even delving into potential philosophical and religious differences between him and the outside world. Things liven up a bit as we switch over to IAMSU! who dedicates this title to all the [...]
FRACTURES has just announced his first ever headline show in conjunction with the film clip for his debut single ‘Twisted’ which we loved and recently featured . The project is the moniker of Melbourne based singer & multi-instrumentalist Mark Zito, has already garnered an avalanche of support from blogs worldwide with 'Twisted' peaking at #3 on Hype Machine along with radio support from triple j, FBi radio and RRR. It's a hauntingly fragile track, which showcases Mark’s atmospheric voice through lofty yet restrained arrangements, combining electronic & instrumental production [...]
The 6TH BOROUGH PROJECT are Craig Smith and Graeme Clarke. Their music is deep, soulful and funky but always energetic. With their roots in jazz, boogie and funk, and their tips in disco, deep house and warm tech, resisting the impulse to dance is impossible. Craig has been on the DJ circuit for more than 20 years, including 10 years of hosting 'Audio Deluxe' at The Honeycomb in Edinburgh which saw big wigs like Masters At Work, Ashley Beedle and DJ Jazzy Jeff spinning tunes and partying. Graeme Clark has been [...]

Sydney-born, Brooklyn-based duo HIGH HIGHS are just one day away from their own Sydney show (with Melbourne following) after having just supported Vampire Weekend around the US. Judging by previous performances and the high demand of seeing this band play, it's sure to be a pretty mesmerising set for both states in such intimate settings. You know how it's usually better to see a band at night time, and a headline appearance in a small venue is much more appetising than the stage and limitations of a festival? [...]
You want to win a copy of HIM's latest album, Tears On Tape, don't you? Well, take a photo of yourself in some HIM merch (any HIM merch) and post it on Twitter and/or Instagram. Make sure you tag it with #ThrashHIM so we can find it and you're already following our Twitter and Instagram , right? We reviewed Tears On Tape in April and gave it a devilish 666/6 , but likened HIM to Savage Garden. It totally makes sense. [...]

We're bringing one half of WHAT SO NOT (aka CHRIS 'EMOH EMERSON ) down to CANT SAY Melbourne for a DJ set at our second birthday and you could win a very intimate dinner date with the man himself! The duo (which also includes second member Harley Streten aka FLUME ) have just released their hotly anticipated second EP 'The Quack' following up on 20112s '7 Dollar Bill' via Sweat It Out / OWLSA (Skrillex's label). It's already received universal praise, much blogosphere love and support from DJs around the world, the title [...]
Spotify and other music streaming applications have changed the way people consume music as well as the face of this blog. Coming up with the playlists for our around-the-world trip posts would have been impossible even ten short years ago and would have likely involved digging through the cruddy back alleys of sites like Kazaa ( shudder ). With Spotify you have the world's music at your fingerprints, and although it still has a little while to go (especially when it comes to search and organization), it's safe to say that it's changed the way that Griff and I listen [...]
BLEEDING KNEES CLUB , the Gold Coast’s most loved garage-punk band have recently dropped their latest single Feel and are wasting no time sharing the love. The loveable duo (now a trio with the addition of a new drummer) have been kicking around for a few years now, winning over audiences around the world with their charismatic brand of surf-pop. We've already let you in on details of their upcoming AUSTRALIAN TOUR so without further ado why don't we share how you could win a double pass to see the band live [...]
The music of Melbourne trio I'LLS manages to create congruence between futuristic values and classically strong ideas, each track's complexity disappears into the effortless melodic layers that comprise them. The band's current live shows are centred around their two latest singles taken from an upcoming EP titled ‘A Warm Reception’ which will be released in June. It follows on from 2011’s self-released EP titled, ‘Thread’ which received strong love across community radio nationwide. After its release I'LLS were handpicked to perform [...]
After the release of his debut record ‘Will The Guns Come Out’ , HANNI EL KHATIB showed up to record his second album with just the clothes on his back—no guitar, no fancy almost-finished demos, and only about three weeks time to get from start to finish. While on tour, he'd met Dan Auerbach ( Black Keys ) in a bar in Paris and after some whiskey got involved, they decided to partner up in Auerbach’s studio back in Nashville. The idea was to erase everything he’d become comfortable with [...]

PURPLE SNEAKERS DJs have been a bit quiet on the home front lately, high-bernating for the winter, preparing some new beats for the Summer...

It feels like the debut album from Arcane Roots has been a long time coming. We mean a long, long, long time coming. It has been literally years since we first started hearing people talk up this band, but their debut only saw a release this week. And we've got 5 copies of it to give away, courtesy of the band's label, PIAS Recordings . It's a good album. You want a copy of it. Trust us on that. In fact, just go read [...]
