2020 PRODUCES ONE MORE DISASTER WITH THE RELEASE OF YOLANDA BE COOL & DCUP’S ‘WE NO SPEAK AMERICANO’ 10TH ANNIVERSARY MUSIC VIDEO

written by the partae

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP, as self aware as ever, have released a video clip to accompany the 10 year anniversary of their worldwide hit ‘We No Speak Americano’. The clip is befitting of the year that has been 2020, featuring Australian comedian, Sam Simmons playing an evil god-like figure and causing general destruction and mayhem across planet Earth, before hitting that big-red button and prompting perhaps the biggest disaster of all of 2020, the re-release of ‘We No Speak Americano’. 

We’ve all been through the thick of it this year, from the Australian bushfires, to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 has been one to forget. However, as we reach the tail-end of the year, we all had some hope that the big man in Earth’s control room would take it a bit easier on us, well, with the help of Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP themselves, Sam Simmons made sure that certainly wasn’t the case. In their own tongue in cheek way, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP poke fun at themselves and the sensation of ‘We No Speak Americano’ in their new video, as Channel Nine presenter Karl Stefanovic puts it quite precisely in the clip, “In what has been another disaster to strike in 2020, Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP’s ‘We No Speak Americano’ is being re-released for 2020.” The clip itself keeps in line with the virality of the original track, highlighting the mass of dances, challenges, cat videos, and viral YouTube and TikTok clips to come out of the pop-culture phenomenon that was ‘We No Speak Americano’. Sam himself gets in on the jig, and who can blame him because as proven 10 years ago you simply can’t hear this track and not want to get a bit silly and make a fool of yourself. The clip embodies everything the track was about 10 years ago, having a bit of fun and seeing the light side of life, a motto that is as important as any in a year such as 2020.

On the video clip, Yolanda Be Cool said, “Whilst 2020 hasn’t lived up to the expectations and in contrast has been a very hard time for people around the world, we wanted to try and bring a little hope to the suffering by celebrating on some lighter happier times, all of which the song has inspired over the years.”

Further detailing the concept behind the video, production company Knack Studios and co-directors Rob Norman and Nick Sullivan share “when Yolanda Be Cool approached us to make a clip for the 10 year anniversary re-release we knew from the start that we wanted to tackle it from a lighthearted angle. At the risk of offending Matty and Andy, we pitched the idea “slob god” unleashing the song to the masses in an attempt at one last cruel twist of the insane year that was 2020.  A short (nerve racking) silence on the other end  of the line was followed by plenty of froth and off we went.”

The hit single went to #1 in over 20 countries back in 2010, with the record winning the ARIA Award for Best Dance Release, and topped various charts the world over from Russia to South Africa, and across United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, and Switzerland. The dance sensation that featured in films such as The Inbetweeners Movie, Hop, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, The Great Beauty, and Peter Rabbit, showcasing the reach and presence of the release and its place in the mainstream. The track kickstarted the careers of the duo, who have gone on to produce popular releases such as ‘Sugar Man’, ‘Soul Makossa (Money)’, ‘From Me To You’, and more recently their 2019 hit ‘Dance and Chant’ garnered over 17 million collective streams seeing the talented duo continuing to deliver their infectious records time and time again.

Didirri ‘It’s The Season’ Regional Victorian Tour – 170 Russell Melbourne – Supported by Eaglemont Review

written by the partae

Playing to a Sold Out and seated 170 Russell on Friday the 18th of December, Didirri mesmerized the Melbourne audience with his enchanting vocals, elegant songwriting and charismatic solo performance playing both acoustic guitar and keyboard.  Didirri carried himself with an oh so loveable honest and modest demeanor whilst capturing the attention of everyone within ears reach with the slightest tone from his soulful voice.  The crowd listened intently to every single song lyric and and every story between each song with huge respect and a noticeable feeling of awe.  Didirri is a young man who has a huge future ahead of him, we are all lucky to be able to witness this talented artist blossom.  Didirri was supported by the eclectic jangle/fuzz singer/songwriter Eaglemont who took the audience on a brutally honest ride of heart felt songs from tales of growing up and being grown up, hats off to the both of you.

STUCK OUT RELEASE NEW EP, LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH OUT NOW  PERFORMING TWO STRIPPED BACK PERFORMANCES THIS WEEKEND!!

STUCK OUT RELEASE NEW EP, LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH OUT NOW PERFORMING TWO STRIPPED BACK PERFORMANCES THIS WEEKEND!!

written by the partae

“Lie Through Your Teeth does not disappoint in any way shape or form.” – Hysteria Magazine

“There’s plenty of punk melodies and rock edge…” – Wall Of Sound

Hailing from Melbourne, Stuck Out have released their second EP, Lie Through Your Teeth today through Greyscale Records in Australia and Sharptone Records for the rest of the world.

BUY LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH EP HERE

Lie Through Your Teeth is an EP based around the consequences when we lie to others, we lie to ourselves, and we in turn are lied to. The EP looks at a range of circumstances where the truth is withheld and how that affects everyone in the situation.

“When we approached this EP, we wanted to create something that translated into our high energy live performances. This has resulted in an aggressive, powerful yet polished sound that we believe is our best release to date.” says vocalist, Josh Walker.

First single from Lie Through Your Teeth is Mindless features Mikaila Delgado from Yours Truly.

Watch the video for Mindless Feat. Mikaila From Yours Truly here:

Stuck Out have also released videos for Inverse and False Promise. 

They’ll be performing two stripped back performances at Stay Gold on Saturday 19 December.

AN EVENING WITH

STUCK OUT
LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH EP RELEASE

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS RESIDE

SATURDAY 19 DECEMBER
STAY GOLD, MELBOURNE 18+
6PM & 9PM
Tickets available from here

Stuck Out’s lyrics resonate like that familiar internal monologue we all shared when we discovered one simple truth: growing up is not all it’s cracked up to be. Navigating the ins and outs of complex relationships, while trying to find your place in a world that makes less sense by the day have become the cornerstone for the band’s lyrics, and they want to use every platform they can to help music lovers feel a little less alone. While some musicians play their cards quite close to their chest, Stuck Out have worn their heart on their sleeve since day one, and it has lead to them garnishing a keen and loyal fanbase.

The young four piece have made their way around Australia multiple times over the past few years off the back of their 2018 Greyscale Records debut EP You Won’t Come Home. They have supported acts such as As It Is, With Confidence, The Story So Far, and Senses Fail; enrapturing audiences with their blend of rock infused pop-punk that cuts through to a deeper layer of the human condition. The band can also now forever lay claim to playing the very first note ever played on a stage at the now staple of the Australian heavy music calendar, Good Things Festival.

2020 saw the band knuckle down to work on a follow up to their debut EP, and came out the other side with a very pointed EP titled Lie Through Your Teeth. Now the band & Greyscale Records look to the future as they add Sharptone Records to the team to help them push from one of the most exciting bands in Australia, to one of the biggest in the world.

Wankelmut joins Norma Jean Martine on high energy piano house banger following the massive ‘Head Shoulders Knees & Toes’
Music News

Wankelmut joins Norma Jean Martine on high energy piano house banger following the massive ‘Head Shoulders Knees & Toes’

written by the partae

German producer Wankelmut lays his magic touch to her poppy single, amplifying its feel-good vibes to a new level. Her classy, flowing vocal delivery is fused to a high-energy piano house groove that bumps and bounces in all the right places. The piano chords are sprightly and accent the groove in a ‘90s house style, while the plump bass melody adds more colour. A clever arrangement keeps the remix interesting and intriguing throughout, finding the perfect balance between dancefloor power and radio-friendly. It’s the perfect complement to her innovative songwriting and soulful voice.  Wankelmut makes for the perfect remixer for her, with remixes for the likes of Gossip, Royksöpp, Dennis Lloyd and Flight Facilities among his 300 million+ Spotify plays.

‘’Following the recent global success of my collaboration with Ofenbach on ‘Head Shoulders Knees and Toes’, I’m really excited to release this remix of Basketball as a fresh new take on the song.’’ Norma explains ‘’ I love the way Wankelmut used the outro hook from the original to make a really fun, bouncy, and catchy drop in this version. Remixes are interesting because they dress up a song in a totally new way, and they not only show the versatility of a strong melody, but the power and ability of chords and tonality to express different emotions.’’

With 9 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 200 million streams worldwide, Norma Jean Martine is blazing through the charts. The aforementioned ‘Head Shoulders Knees & Toes’ has been one of the standout hits of 2020, currently picking up over 1 million streams a day, it’s proved a real earworm of a track, hitting #60 in the Global Shazam Chart.

Her next EP ‘Visiting Hours’ is on the horizon and it features another dance banger alongside the amazing MOTi.

The official video of ‘Basketball’ Wankelmut Remix is out now and gives the track a 90’s vintage visual identity.

Norma Jean Martine: ‘’Douglas Dulgarian, the director and producer of the original, remixed the video as well. He experimented with VHS stock footage and negative processing to create a very instagram e-girl meets Lana Del Rey Video Games DIY’’

About Norma Jean Martine
Alt-pop talent Norma Jean Martine is the superstar vocalist with the recognizable husky, powerhouse voice and strong songwriting skills. Exploring the indie space with her own releases and embracing the dancefloors with collaborations, she’s touching a global audience: ‘When We Were Young’ with Lost Kings amassed 90M streams and gained praise from the US to Asia and this year she has a European hit under her belt with ‘Head Shoulder Knees And Toes’, a collaboration with Parisian dance duo Ofenbach and the German producers Quarterhead, racking up over 100M streams in less than a year and breaking a personal record with 1M streams a day. The charts and streaming results are undeniable: when Norma touches a song, magic happens.

Australia’s breakout global star, Tones And I, has helped bring music back to Melbourne’s streets by returning to her former busking spot in Bourke Street Mall.

Tones And I made the surprise performance to help support local shops, restaurants, cafes and bars recovering from the impact of COVID-19.

After beginning her career busking on the streets of Melbourne and Byron Bay, her breakout single, Dance Monkey, was released in May 2019 and has now reached number one in more than 30 countries.

Dance Monkey was the second most streamed song in the world in 2020, with almost 2 billion streams on Spotify and 7 billion streams across all platforms.

The final pop-up performance was the result of a partnership between the Victorian Government, Mushroom Group and the City of Melbourne.

Participating artists included Daryl Braithwaite, Missy Higgins, Gordi, Mark Seymour, Vika and Linda, the Pierce Brothers and Hayley Mary.

The initiative is supported by the Victorian Government and the City of Melbourne through the $100 million Melbourne City Recovery Fund.

In an initiative to increase the number of street performers, the City of Melbourne is calling for buskers to come forward and apply for a free permit and bring even more music and performance art to the streets.

Busking permits will remain free until June 2021 in recognition of the important role that buskers can play in our city’s character and culture.

Quotes Attributable to Deputy Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece:
“After one of the world’s longest lockdowns, it’s such a thrill to see a global star performing in Bourke Street Mall.

As a former busker who has become an international star, Tones And I understands the joy of live music and how it brings people together.

We want this performance to inspire buskers to come back to our city. We’ve waived busking fees for until June 2021 because we want hundreds more street performers to help activate our streets.”

Quotes Attributable to Tones And I:
“It was so good to get back to my roots and busk where it all started for me.

I’m in music as I love writing & playing live. Busking is as real as it gets and I’m so happy I got to do it again for everyone who has supported me.”

R3HAB Rounds off The Year with Meaningful “Ones You Miss,” The Last Single Release of 2020

written by the partae

The 2020 year has been both unprecedented and challenging in many ways, with artists and music fans feeling the absence of making memories in-person most of all. R3HAB decided to close out the year with his new single “Ones You Miss” to commemorate the strangest year most of us can remember, sending a positive message as we experience the holiday season in uncertain times. Delivering bouncy piano melodies, a breezy bassline, and a velvety topline, “Ones You Miss” is an emotive yet energizing and dancefloor-friendly ode to all of the people that make our life worth living. Despite the global pandemic, R3HAB had no shortage of meaningful releases, including his singles “One More Dance” with Alida, “Am I The Only One” with Astrid S and HRVY, “Family Values” with Nina Nesbitt, “Good Example” with Andy Grammer, to name only a few. Check out R3HAB‘s inspiration behind his final track of 2020 below:

“At the end of a year, we look back and celebrate milestones, but the memories that mean the most to me are always the special moments with my family, friends, and fans. I want this song to let the people I love know that I can’t wait to be with them again.” – R3HAB


Dutch
/Moroccan DJ and producer Fadil El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, has been trailblazing his way through dance music for the better part of the last decade. From his breakthrough hit remix of Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo‘s “Give Me Everything” to his dance anthems, such as “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” which have collectively amassed over 600M streams, to his collaborations with the likes of ZAYN, Andy Grammer, Sofia Carson, Timmy Trumpet and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most talented and forward-thinking artists in the game. He partnered with Spotify and GATTÜSO to create the first-ever official “mint” single release. In 2016 he founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which passed one billion streams on its catalog within the first two years since its inception. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, experimenting with everything from hip-hop to pop through his collaborations. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB is continuing his journey. Keep an eye out for what’s next in 2021!

Yardhaus Speaks on Modern Dating Culture With New Dance-Pop Crossover Single “Blame”

written by the partae

Startup duo Yardhaus makes their end-of-year debut with the new single “Blame,” a dance-pop crossover track that will hit home for anyone who has experienced the temporal nature of modern dating culture. Yardhaus creates a vibe for easy listening by weaving deep basslines with groovy melodies, which are complemented by the track’s soulful vocals. With lyrics like “we can see the ending right from the beginning,” “Blame” is a relatable lament for situations when you know a relationship will be short-lived but continue it anyway. Whether you need an emotional catharsis from a recent breakup or just a track to chill out to, press play on “Blame” and let this talented new duo take you on a sonic trip down memory lane.


“‘Blame‘ is a hybrid between dance, pop, and electronic. The song is about knowing how a relationship will end, even from the start. It speaks to the toxicity and short-sighted nature of transactional relationships.” – Yardhaus


Michael Jack
and Max Shaevitz are the Pennsylvania and New York-based duo that make up Yardhaus, a promising new name in the dance-pop crossover circuit. Their dynamic fusion of genres gives them appeal to a broad audience, and they have cultivated a growing fan base even early in their career by opening for the likes of Marshmello, SNBRN, Zedd, ASAP Ferg, and more. Their prior tracks include “Boomerang,” “Talk Me Down,” and their remix of Galantis‘s “Mama Look At Me Now.” After spending time refining their sound, Yardhaus is back and ready to take the world by storm. Keep an eye out for more new music from this talented duo coming soon!

KINDRED SCORE – ‘NIGHTS LIKE THIS’ / ‘THE WAY WE GREW’ REMIXES

Following their recent debut, new electro-pop duo Kindred Score keep the flow of superb output going as they release a remix package for ‘Nights Like This / The Way We Grew’. Released today, the remixes come from  a string of eclectic producers including Blackhill, Manpower & Rogue Unity.

Launching their new project this month, Kindred Score reminisce on people’s similarities, differences as well as human experiences in their lyricism, telling it through the eyes of a fictional character. They project a beautiful electro pop sound filled with sultry vocals and sagacious electronics beats.

Blackhill’s 13 years of live & studio experience are transcended in his irresistibly groovy minimal rework of ‘Nights Like This’. Standing for diversity, uniqueness and cutting-edge sounds, he incorporates each of these elements into his music whilst still keeping his eye on the underground dancefloor.

Multi-disciplinary artist, songwriter, producer & DJ Manpower is one not to confine himself to a single genre. Distinctly unique, he draws on house, techno, Italo, disco, pop-punk, new wave and beyond on a discography that spans imprints from Life & Death, Hivern Discs, Optimo Trax and Correspondent aswell. A sound that has been described by Resident Advisor as ‘Intergalactic house music’ Manpower seamlessly transforms ‘Nights Like This’ into a golden splice of electronica.

Arriving as the debut of the ‘Rogue Unity’, the alias comes from an experienced electronic artist who is remaining under wraps for now, allowing the music to speak for itself. With influences from Garage, Techno, House and Disco, the playfully mischievous production is aimed squarely for the dance floor moments.

A remix package sure to set the ascension of Kindred Score, these two are a firm one to watch as 2020 draws to a close and we head into a new year.

Kindred Score ‘Nights Like This’ / The Way We Grew’ Remixes is out now on AWAL
