We're pretty keen on the new stuff here at Tradehooks HQ, and Australian farmers be damned, local produce doesn't get much fresher than the stuff they're churning out over at Triple J Unearthed. Last year's Unearthed High winners Howl have been on high rotation with their winning single Blackout for a couple of months now and we reckon they're okay. The six-piece out of Ballarat are impressing with their garage/rockabilly sound and should be one to watch in twenty ten. And those keys. Oh those keys. Anyway, they're playing most states on their upcoming Anyone But Us EP [...]

Just had to share this one to you guys. It's a cover of Bag Raiders' track Shooting Stars which recently came in at number 18 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2009 . This is so different from the original at first it will almost certainly make you laugh. But if you listen to it as it is, not as a cover version of a dance track, it really is quite mesmerizing. mp3: Hidden Cat - Shooting Stars (Bag Raiders Cover) [...]

hmm. i dunno guys, you've got your hella manstrm artists such as Deadmowfive and David Guetta, but i believe that its lacking its real (fidget) house stars e.g. the beetroots, surkin, crookers etc. Check out La Roux in the top part of the poster, she's in the smallest font haha. I reckon she can do better than that... Other than that, the lineup is good, now that i think about it, im glad they are moving from dance, they were originally a indie/manstrm festival and they should be trying to go back [...]

I have quietly been a big fan of the Deux Helix from when i first heard their stuff back then . Their productions are top notch and their remixes really take a track and make it their own. Wondering what a set would sound like? What kind of trip would these guys take you on? Would you hit warp speed? Listen in. DEUX HELIX ...track list after the jump Tracklisting: [...]
