Can't really wait for the new Van She album. Gonna be pretty killer I reckon, and a bit of a departure from their indie pop stylings of a few years ago. New track, 'Jamaica' is a tropical jam, that on a cold Melbourne day - it is seriously about 10 degrees outside - makes me [...]
These gents are killer, and so is this new single. Northeast Party House have had a fair bit of coverage over the past couple of years with a bit of Triple J play as well as a small reputation as a killer live band. New single, 'Pascal Cavalier' is a bit of a moody indie [...]
Man, two mixes in as many days. This here be the MAY mixtape, full of the tracks that have helped me survive what has been a really full on month. In true maamf form, it's a whole heap of genres in there from the killer techno of Sydney gents CSMNT61 to the Australiana sing-a-long feel [...]
Done for Sony, the rather amazing (and a pretty old school fave of maamf) Midnight Juggernauts have re-recorded their big track 'This New Technology'...in a cave. Yeah, you read that right. Using the demo of the track as inspiration, the boys recorded the track with their sound man Byron Scullin who added some killer sax. [...]
Ok, so usually I wouldn't be posting something as pop as this, but man there are some killer remixes on this EP. You most likely would have heard The Aston Shuffle's massive track 'Won't Get Lost' all over the radio for the past couple of months. The guys have released a remix EP for the [...]
So, this is perhaps the latest a mixtape has ever been...a little over a month late. Pretty abysmal I know. But you know what, it's a fucking good tape. MAAMF - April '12 Mix TRACKLISTING: Bewilderbeast - Push'd Out Jonathan Boulet - This Song Is Called Raggard King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Bloody Ripper [...]
Ok, so this stuff is lovely. Bored Nothing is one dude, Edward Miller from Melbourne town. He makes some really great, unassuming 902s vibe indie and, at the risk of sounding like a complete and utter wanker, it makes me feel kinda nostalgic. He released an EP a couple of weeks ago, which is all [...]
Ok, so if you're all over both Triple J and Triple J Unearthed, then most likely you would have heard a track off Allday and C1's EP 'Skateboard Soiree'. Another local hiphop kid, Ry put me onto this...and it is what everybody suggests, something out of left field that melds a bit of humour with [...]
From a song that I already dig heaps, comes a remix that I dig equally as much. Sydney's Lancelot has gone and had his way with Catcall's new single The World Is Ours. Makes it into a super late night deep house vibe and fucking hell. It kills it. One of the best remixes I've heard this [...]
Secret Hands is a local Melbourne dude playing some really epic sounding indie goodness, but with this element of introspection which I'm diggin a hell of a lot. His debut EP, 'How' is a really well crafted synth and percussion driven tale of epicness. And that sentence is equally bad as this EP is good (read: [...]
Really great slacker pop track from Brisbane lads Dune Rats. It comes in at just less than 2 mins and I think the title is pretty apt. Just a quick track about some chick or somethin'. Love the layed back whatever goes attitude that these guys have. The guys are nearly out on tour to [...]
THIS! Really really really enjoying this new track from Melbourne disco wonderkids World's End Press. The single got it's debut over on Mess & Noise, and I've been visting that page ever since because I couldn't find an actual direct soundcloud link! Tricky work fellas. But now, it's gone live, and as soon as I [...]
Muscles is gonna be releasing his second album in a few weeks. Entitled 'Manhood' it's one album I'm definitely keen on hearing this year. More info about the album over on the Modular site. Anyway, the first single from the album dropped the other day. It's some hard Euro disco kinda stuff, but still with that [...]
"I'm not sure it's 100% in-line with what you guys normally post, but I thought I'd shoot you a link regardless : )" That's part of the email Brisbane based minimal tech dude Big Sad sent a couple of days ago. And whilst I'm not up with the lingo (is minimal tech right??!), I really love [...]
Ok, so here is the first official single off Jonathan Boulet's new album, 'We Keep The Beat, Found The Sound, See The Need, Start The Heart'. We got our first taste with Trounce a month or two back, and although new single This Song Is Called Ragged is no where near as ferocious as Trounce, [...]
So this is a little late, I know. The internet situation for me has been a little all over the place lately - moved to a new spot and we're working out which net plan would be best! Anyway, this here is a bit of a mix of my fave tracks of March. It's a [...]
ok, so a bit of a mini album review. Chet Faker has been one of those artists that everyone has taken notice of lately. Having sold out two shows at The Toff in a couple of weeks and a third show selling fast, the dude is doing a fair few things right. The mini album [...]
So, this week has been pretty crummy. But new Van She is seriously making it better. And perhaps it's no coincidence that their new track is called Idea of Happiness. After getting its debut on on Triple J Mornings just after 9 this morning, it's been in my head since. And now I'm listening to [...]
Sydney kids Jubilants have a newy out, Spain and to be honest, I've really slept on this. I wasn't blown away at the beginning - there's a massive Foals influence in this track, and that's not a bad thing...but I dunno, it didn't grab me. It's had some time to sit with me though [...]
Melbourne boys AFTER. These guys have been familiar to me for quite a while - the duo use to be two thirds of Melbourne kinda hard electro dudes La Mode whose track Salami is all sorts of punch-in-the-face hard hitting electro. Anyway, the work they're getting out there as AFTER is a lot more pop [...]
