“It’s huge to be able to put out the album just as the band is able to start playing together again safely. I’m in love with music and grateful for a chance to share the music I made with some people I love.”
– Rosie Tucker

“Tucker’s new album ramps up the energy while retaining their keen intellect and searching humanity.”
– KCRW “Private Playlist”

“an intricate web of twinkly guitar parts and shimmering leads, all of which coalesce to create a one-way stream of clean chords, dreamy vocals and pumping drums heading towards the track’s lung-bursting finale.” – Guitar World

“Rosie Tucker’s knack for witty, yet bruising lyrics and impeccable melodies is back in a big way on “Barbara Ann'”
– Paste Magazine

“’Habanero’ is hot like Rosie Tucker songs are hot: beautifully sung and boldly played” – Buzzbands.la

LA artist Rosie Tucker (they/them) has released their third album Sucker Supreme, their first with Epitaph Records. A coming of age album of intimate storytelling and electrifying, intricate guitar, the collection aches with self-discovery, self-definition, and self-redefinition.

Available across platforms here.

It has earned acclaim spanning NPR, Stereogum, them., GLAAD, KCRW “Today’s Top Tune”, Music Connection, Under The Radar, The Luna Collective, BrooklynVegan and more. With nearly 100k monthly Spotify listeners, new singles “Habanero” and “Barbara Ann” have been featured on “New Alternative,” “NPR Music: Bob Boilen,” “NPR: Music’s New Music Friday,” “Out Now,” “Feel-Good Indie Rock,” “undercurrents,” “Chill Singer-Songwriter” as well as Apple Music “Today’s Indie Rock” and “New In Indie”.

On this album, Rosie’s openhearted, sing-song alto melodies are king and wry, detailed lyricism is queen. Noise creaks in every layer of these songs: ticking Geiger counters, synthesised whale calls, tape machine slams, walls of distorted guitar rolling in and then blooming out into infinite repeats. As with all things Rosie Tucker, this album is not easily slotted into a binary like happy or sad. In the world of Sucker Supreme, concepts like male or female, married or divorced, destruction or salvation, are not two opposite sides of the same coin, they are all connected points on the same sphere.

Rosie exploded into the musical zeitgeist with critically acclaimed 2019 album Never Not Never Not Never Not, sharing stages with kindred spirits Phoebe Bridgers, Soccer Mommy, Vagabon, and Remo Drive. Sucker Supreme is just the right follow-up: still playfully observed, still sneakily political, still indebted to folk singers of the past – but also much, much bigger, brighter, louder and noisier than anything Tucker has dared before.

Melbourne songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and film composer Albert Salt has returned his stunning new single ‘Think It’s Time To Get A Job’.

Paired with the release is a brilliant video clip produced by Salt from his home studio. The video features Salt performing in front of projections of Melbourne from the 1970’s – it’s a compelling accompaniment that leans into the nostalgic and dream-like atmosphere of the song.

Thematically, ‘Think It’s Time To Get A Job’ pulls on the heart-strings of what many musicians go through – the pressure and anxiety of getting a “real job” and the ever-longing pursuit of a stable and “normal” career. Salt grapples with the notion of leaving it all behind and putting his dreams to bed, but it’s evident to those listening, and to himself, that his creative pursuits will, and should continue.

It’s also a melancholic and reflective piece. ‘Think It’s Time To Get A Job’ exemplifies Salt’s musicianship pairing beautiful performance with intricate arrangement, alongside faultless production. The song truly packs a punch, drawing you in from the outset before taking you on a journey of realisation – the perfect soundtrack for times of reflection and self-doubt.

The track follows a busy 2020 which saw Salt release his first major body of work in five years – 25 Not Doing Alright – featuring singles ‘25’, ‘Daylesford’ and ‘Even Out’. The songs on 25 Not Doing Alright were a new beginning for Salt and the catalyst for a prolific period of songwriting as a solo artist, film composer and member of Juno Disco.

“The last record was extremely personal and revealing. It was a nice challenge to come up with something that could follow that. I decided to go back in time a bit and explore a period of my life where I was working a dead-end job and wasn’t really putting out music under Albert Salt” he explains.

Indian-born and now London-based artist Segiri releases the sparkling and uplifting dance-pop single ‘Parallel’, which is the perfect feel-good tonic as we approach the warmer months and move out of lockdown.

Released on 30 April, the vibrant ‘Parallel’ proves why Segiri has been heralded as “one to watch”, having received strong radio support from BBC Asian Network, Soho Radio and Hoxton Radio. Infused with elements of piano house, synth-pop and R&B, the euphoric single was produced by One Bit (Stormzy, JP Cooper) and Haj (Sigma, Becky Hill) and looks set to propel Segiri to the next level, thanks to its catchy lyrics, anthemic chorus, and Segiri’s powerful yet emotional vocal delivery. 

Segiri said: “ Parallel is about two lives or two parts of oneself that run parallel but never quite meet. It’s about trying to find that soul mate but never being able to do so. The dark and good side to you living in parallel and co-existing, aware of each other but never meeting.”

‘Parallel’ has been remixed by fast rising UK House Producer & DJ Tom Ferry, whose deep, bass-infused remix will be released on 28 May. 

Segiri’s previous singles, ’Tastes Like Anarchy’, ‘Chances’, and ‘Red Flag’ received strong radio support, including from Ashanti Omkar on the BBC Asian Network, who selected ‘Tastes Like Anarchy’ as one of Ashanti’s 2020 Bangers. Filmed during lockdown and made to look like a Zoom call, Segiri’s music video for ’Tastes Like Anarchy’ won the NeXtup Global Indie Music Competition judged by Mally Mall, Zhavia and Chief Keef. Segiri’s previous three tracks have over 100k plays combined views on YouTube and over 250k plays on Spotify.

Laurel Canyon – Nicholas Gillespie, 26, and Serg Cereja, 22 –  met two years ago through a mutual friend in their hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania. After connecting over a shared interest in Arthur Rimbaud, the duo began to rehearse rock ‘n’ roll standards in Serg’s garage. By October 2020, Nick and Serg began composing original songs together, the first of which, “Two Times Emptiness,” will be released May 1, 2021 on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, YouTube and SoundCloud. Gillespie and Cereja found a new power in their individual craftsmanship through collaboration, both contributing equally to the music and the lyrics, eye-to-eye, line-for-line, creating a song neither felt they could have written alone.

After breaking the ice with the first completely co-written song, they quickly found themselves with more than an album’s worth of material. This unique experience spurred them on to professionally record that first song that had opened the doors. With the help of New York based producer, Craig Almquist, the duo managed to have it recorded in one day, mixed and mastered only four months after they had written it in the fall of 2020. This debut single, an upbeat tribute to the “femme fatale,” was recorded in February 2021 by Ayad Al Adhamy and Craig Almquist at Diamond City Studio in Brooklyn, NY. After the debut single’s release the first of May, their follow up single, “Enemy Lines,” which was recorded in March, is set for release early this summer.

Today, What So Not (Chris Emerson) returns from a yearlong hiatus by releasing ‘The Change’, a striking, thunderous collaboration with fellow Australians DMA’S HERE. 

View the enthralling futuristic video clip for ‘The Change’ HERE.

If the response to the then-unreleased song at recent Australian What So Not live shows is an indication of what’s to come – then we’re in for a long, energetic, and sweaty rest of 2021. The ferocious alt-rager ‘The Change’ was recorded in Sydney last year and is released now via Sweat It Out.

What So Not (Chris Emerson) says: “I met Johnny at their studio – a small room next to a noisy inner-city road, above a pub, with no sound insulation. We had (somehow) never met but clicked instantly, discussing life on the road, COVID & found commonality on our all-time favourite artists. The first thing we made is pretty much the track you hear. Johnny liked our little idea so much he decided to get the whole band involved a couple of days later we tracked Tommy & brought Mason in for some extra pieces. I feel like this record is one the two of us have always wanted to make but never had the right pieces of the puzzle, until now.”

Johnny Took from the DMA’S adds: “Emoh and I had never met before the day of our first session but quickly bonded over synths, production gear, The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy and Underworld. Being from such different songwriting worlds really made this a great collaboration for me. Once we got Tommy and Mason on the track after that first day of writing we knew we were onto something special and new for both of us.”

About What So Not:
Australia’s What So Not (Chris Emerson) made his biggest, boldest statement yet with the release of Not All the Beautiful Things, the three-years-in-the-making debut artist album that reaffirmed What So Not’s place as one of the most ambitious, visionary producers in the game. Featuring collaborations with Skrillex, Slumberjack, San Holo, Michael Christmas, and legendary ‘Africa’ rockers Toto, the album spawned the hit ‘Be OK Again’ featuring Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns and earned praise from all corners, including NYLON (“a fully packaged, uncompromised artistic vision”). Not All The Beautiful Things was supported as a triple j featured album. What So Not supported the album with a yearlong 150 show tour through 45 countries that included stops at Ultra, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza South America, all accompanied by the colossal chrome horse on monster truck wheels that graced the album’s cover. Since debuting in 2011, What So Not has garnered over 1 billion combined streams of his songs, which include such massive anthems as ‘High You Are‘, ‘Waiting’ with Skrillex and RL Grime, and his remix of RÜFÜS du Sol’s ‘Innerbloom‘. Already one of the most exciting live acts in electronic music, he further cemented that reputation when he brought out Silverchair’s Daniel Johns as a surprise guest during his set at Australia’s Laneway Festival, where the pair delighted fans with a new remix of the Silverchair classic ‘Freak.’ Most recently, he fulfilled a dream by remixing Run The Jewels ‘JU$T’ ft Pharrell Williams and Zack De La Rocha, at the start of 2021.

About DMA’S:
DMA’S (Tommy O’Dell, Matt Mason, Johnny Took) have gone from strength to strength since exploding onto the scene in 2014 with their debut single ‘Delete’. They have released two critically acclaimed albums – Hills End (2016) and For Now (2018) – both of which charted Top 10 in the ARIA Charts and resulted in ARIA nominations for Best Group, Best Rock Album and Best Independent Release. Forging their reputation abroad, the latter earned a #13 chart position in the UK as well as festival slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds festivals. 2019 saw the Sydney natives play sold out shows across the UK and Ireland, support Liam Gallagher’s UK arena tour and sell eight thousand tickets to their July Manchester show in a matter of hours. Back home they scored a Platinum record for ‘Delete‘ plus Gold discs for ‘Lay Down‘ and ‘Step Up The Morphine‘. The band’s third studio album, THE GLOW, was released 10 July 2020 and debuted at #2 on the ARIA Charts, #4 in the UK and #1 in Scotland.

[OUT NOW ON SWEAT IT OUT]

Purple Disco Machine’s ‘Fireworks’ goes strength to strength with the release of an explosive remix package for the dance-floor filler. Purple Disco Machine staked his claim as one of the leading electronic producers in the world with the monstrous hit that was ‘Hypnotized’ a track that has been streamed over 250 million times across platforms, going triple Platinum in Italy, and Platinum in Poland and Switzerland. Purple Disco Machine has now followed up with his collaboration with Moss Kena and duo The Knocks, ‘Fireworks’ which has since followed in a similar vein dominating airwaves and amassing over 25 million streams across platforms since it’s release in February. Purple Disco Machine has now enlisted the services of some heavy hitters to add to the charm, with remixes from Torren Foot, Breakbot & Irfane, and a remix from Mind Enterprises out May 7th, keeping the summertime party rolling. 

On working on one of the biggest tracks of 2021, Torren Foot said, “Purple Disco Machine is one funky cat!! I was so stoked to be offered this opportunity. As soon as I heard the children’s choir in Fireworks, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I’m looking forward to a crowd chanting this one back at me!”

Australian producer Torren Foot takes the bright production and takes it for a tech-house spin, filled with a driving bassline relevant for those late-night raves as well as for those festival goers looking for an uptempo explosion to accompany their fireworks. Torren Foot is fresh off an immense 2020, a year that saw his bass-driven stylings transform and blow up into a worldwide success. The Australian producer has amassed over 26 million streams across platforms, with tracks such as ‘Be Randy’ with Dom Dolla earning him an ARIA Award nomination. Torren Foot’s release ‘More Life’ connected with Australian audiences like no other, surpassing the 10 million stream mark across platforms, while also becoming the #1 most played song on triple j, hitting the #1 spot in the Australian Viral Chart, and topping Beatport’s overall chart. Of course, the success of ‘More Life’ didn’t go unnoticed with UK stars Tinie Tempah and L Devine jumping on the track for a vocal version that transformed the single into a surefire summer hit and a global sensation. 

Versatile French producer Breakboat teams up with a man he’s all too familiar with in Irfane, to bring down the tempo but up the Nu-disco vibes for a mix that is full of funk and dreamy synths. The duo are known for their 2010 collaboration on ‘Baby I’m Yours’ a track that has amassed 400 million streams across platforms and become ever relevant in popular culture. Breakbot’s funk-fuelled stylings have seen him remix the likes of Lizzo, Digitalism, Chromeo, Sneaky Sound System, Pnau, MGMT, and Phoenix.    

Finally, fresh off their collaboration with Purple Disco Machine for ‘Exotica’, Mind Enterprises joins the party fashionably late, taking the summery vibes from the original and dialing it up with hypnotic drum patterns, and disco-adjacent basslines to keep up that poolside aura. ‘Exotica’ was released late last year and has amassed over 3 million streams. Experimental and funk, Mind Enterprises has found success with tracks such as ‘Idol’ and ‘Lover Boy’ as he blurs the lines of the modern day dancefloor. 

Purple Disco Machine has proven himself to be a global superstar with the release of ‘Hypnotized’ with Sophie and The Giants, a track that has gone triple platinum in Italy, achieved Platinum status in Poland and Switzerland, and become Gold accredited in Germany and Austria. With over 250 million streams across platforms and rapidly growing, there is no doubt Purple DIsco Machine has already made his mark on the industry. ‘Fireworks’ is proving to be just as much a global success since its release in February, amassing over 25 million streams across platforms and hitting #42 in the Global Shazam Chart, and well on its way to achieving the heights of ‘Hypnotized’. To say the track has dominated on airwaves would be an understatement, with over 170k spins in the last two months and hitting #5 in the European Airplay Chart, along with #2 in Italy, #3 in Germany and #10 in Poland. As the track continues to blow up, the remixes will be sure to add to the celebrations.

Purple Disco Machine’s ‘Fireworks feat. Moss Kena & The Knocks (Remixes)’ is out now on Sweat It Out.
