To commemorate such an occasion, Discovery has teamed up with Rong Music and Halycon to bring you the high caliber line-up of DJ Harvey and Kyle Hall along with The Achievers and residents Free Magic, VDRK and Faso.

Following the album release of Mixed Race in September 2010, legendary trip-hop magician Tricky is venting out the single Time To Dance from the album shrouded in variations this July. The original track itself is an ambient electro number similar to the work of The xx with a bass that has tantalizing funk, a seductive [...] Continue reading Read on..
New Years (and mainly Christmas) are fast approaching and the party anticipation is greatly brewing. Thankfully there are two amazing parties in Melbourne that would suffice for those who want a good time. For New Years eve, DJ Harvey is playing at the House de Frost which will be a great way to bring in the New Year. I know there is so much hype and let-down with the NYE kind of thing but this party is a fine exception. I'm pretty sure it is close to selling out so if you haven't got a ticket, I urge you to [...]
Gothenburg balearic production/dj duo Tiedye recently did this sparkling mix for premier Danish streetwear label Wood Wood and their Muzak mix series , this is a perfect companion here at Discobelle HQ this saturday. "Anton and his buddy Edvin make up Tiedye of Gothenburg, Sweden. When not chilling in the Swedish woods, having fun behind the decks or remixing other people's songs, they perform as an actual band with live instruments. Their DJ sets often incorporate cosmic, balearic, italo and other weird disco stuff - but with a distinct Nordic [...]
Mania Music Group - Welcome To The Audience (Mania Music Group) I was thinking when I reviewed Mania's show at the Windup Space recently that I haven't really listened to this album much since the release date, when I finished writing my piece on it for Splice Today . So I had to really come back to it a few weeks later and see how it's aging for me. I'd say it's definitely missing some of the elements I loved on Mania's earlier mixtapes and EPs, all the weird genre exercises [...]
