For friends in Melbourne, suss the benefit concert below, and for friends in the rest of Australia and the world, read the part under this part ↓↓↓ about how you can help too ♡♡♡ If you are in Melbourne on Friday, 10 January we are playing Make it rain - A Bushfire Fundraiser with some great bands; Press Club, Columbus, Mid City, Fan Girl and Teenage Dads DJs at Stay Gold in Brunswick. All proceeds from ticket sales will go towards victims of the Victorian Bushfires. And Stay Gold are donating 10% of bar sales as well. BUY A TICKET We'll also be bringing a bunch of merch and will be giving all the money made from sales to Wildlife Victoria who are desperate for donations at the moment. They have posted that while WIRES have raised tens of millions of dollars in NSW, they cannot legally give that money to wildlife charities in other states, including Victoria. So even if you can't make it to the show, please give anything you can to Wildlife Victoria who are helping fire affected wildlife shelters rebuild and replace lost equipment and cover the mammoth costs of specialised food, medical equipment and vet bills for all the extra animals in their care.

Out Of Bounds is a new music festival that has been built from the ground-up for the Macarthur/Campbelltown region. The inaugural event will take place on Saturday 18 January at the Campbelltown Athletics Centre on the running track that many people from the area (including the festival’s founders) have grown up using for their school athletics carnival. The festival’s goal is to bring some of Australia’s most exciting musical talents to the heart of the south west suburbs and create a top-tier music festival that area’s youth can call their own. The Macarthur region sits an hour or so south-west of Sydney. Mayor of Campbelltown Cr George Brticevic said “We are delighted to welcome a brand new music festival to the area headlined by some of Australia’s best-known artists, including local superstars, The Rubens. Hosting a music festival of this magnitude at the Campbelltown Athletics Centre is a sign that our city is bursting to life with opportunity.” Across two stages from 1.00-10.00pm, the first ever Out Of Bounds features a blistering all-Australian line-up which traverses multiple genres, aimed at uniting people from all walks of life in the diversity-rich area. Co-headlining the 2020 event will be hip-hop hit maker and ARIA Award-winning artist Illy, alongside the Macarthur region’s very own hometown heroes and Hottest 100-topping, The Rubens. They’re joined by a plethora of exciting Australian artists such as Mallrat, Trophy Eyes, WAAX, Alex the Astronaut, GRAACE, Clypso, Lex Deluxe along with DJ sets from party-starters DZ Deathrays & Northeast Party House. I OH YOU was founded by Johann Ponniah and has grown to become one of the country’s most acclaimed and successful independent record labels. Having the opportunity to be part of the Australian (and global) music industry for 10 years, I OH YOU are keen to head back to Campbelltown and give back to the community which helped shape the framework and ethos of the label. The label will also be offering a young person from the area a paid internship at I OH YOU. The internship’s role includes working with the local council to begin regularly conducting panels with some of Australia’s finest musicians and industry professionals in the local area in 2020.

Epic Pool Parties Return to Miami and announce Six Days of Events Including Official WMC Opening Party with Kings of House, Repopulate Mars, Amnesia,  Do Not Sleep and More The Kimpton EPIC Hotel, Miami https://theepicpoolparty.com https://www.facebook.com/theepicpoolparty/ The Epic Pool Parties were one of the most talked about events of the Winter Music Conference in Miami. After this game-changing debut in 2019 they return to The Kimpton EPIC Hotel bigger and better in 2020 for six days of carefully programmed parties. There will be one unmissable party each day of the Conference from Tuesday March 17th to Sunday, March 22nd. The first ones to be announced are the WMC Official Opening Party with the legendary Kings of House, aka Louie Vega and David Morales, as well as Amnesia Presents x Do Not Sleep on Wednesday March 18 and a special Repopulate Mars day-night party on Friday March 20th. Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Kimpton EPIC Hotel is an urban hotel that exudes the beauty and essence of the city through unparalleled experiences and views of Biscayne Bay. The ultimate Miami getaway, Kimpton EPIC Hotel just got even better with the completion of a full redesign. On the heels of its 10th anniversary, extensive renovations of its guestrooms and suites, lobby and pool area were just debuted, setting the stage for the most EPIC WMC parties yet. The events will take place on the newly imagined 16th floor at the hotel’s pool deck overlooking the city, complete with palm trees, bars, and cabanas. It’s a venue like no other, complete with a world-class sound system ensuring every beat is as warm and clear as the skies above. These carefully curated parties feature the worlds best DJs, brands and labels and come from the accomplished team at Electric Ibiza, who run iconic events at the White Isle's most famous venues, from Amnesia to Ibiza Rocks, Café Mambo to Pacha and Space Ibiza. Here they work once more in partnership with Miami legend Jonathan Cowan, Square One and WMC. Last year, the likes of Kerri Chandler, Victor Calderone, MK, Defected, Do Not Sleep, Repopulate Mars and Claptone’s ‘The Masquerade’ all featured. Say Jonathan Cowan on this year's offerings: "After a few years hiatus from the Miami Music Week program, last year was a huge success. I feel the conference has really come back into its own these past few years and is back as an important part of the dance music calendar. 2020 Epic Week will be the best DJs and brands showcasing their talents with an amazing backdrop of downtown Miami, and with Ultra just a few blocks away, we sure are expecting another huge week of music." On March 17th the entire Winter Music Conference kicks off with the one and only Official Opening Party at The Epic, which also happens to fall on St Patrick's Day, and the headliners couldn't be more perfect: the Kings of House, aka Louie Vega and David Morales, have been there since day one, pioneering various forms of the genre from vocal and uplifting to more dark and driving. They have decades of knowledge and know how between them, vast arsenal of tunes to call upon to make sure the exact right beat plays at the exact right moment, and are sure to serve up a real masterclass to get this year's conference and series under way.  Next up on Wednesday March 18th is one of Ibiza's most iconic clubs, Amnesia, who team up with underground house party Do Not Sleep. As such you can expect the best in cutting edge  house, slick tech sounds and electric atmospheres from some of the scene's most essential and innovative talents. The party is in for a huge 2020 with a tour of Australia and New Zealand also planned, so expect them to pull out all the stops when they hit Miami.  On March 20th, Lee Foss's red hot Repopulate Mars label will bring its key talents to the Epic for an afternoon and early evening session of unrivalled house music. Last years show was a complete sell out with the label being known for its cosmic parties with extravagant production, fancy costumed characters and immersive performers. As well as releases from the main man Lee Foss, the label was a DJ Mag award winner in 2018 after boasting killer tunes from the likes of Latmum, Mason Maynard, Detlef and Solardo. Says Lee Foss, "Repopulate Mars will rip open the fabric of space and time to return to Miami Music Week to host their intergalactic pool party on Mars at the Kimpton EPIC Hotel on Friday March 20th. Expect a day of outer space hedonism that will have punk funk kids shedding clothes, aliens shedding skin and cyborgs getting down to an electrifying line-up of the best names in house and techno." These Epic Pool Parties will be just that, and promise to be the most talked about dances during the whole of the WMC 2020. The next three shows and full line-ups will come in the next few weeks.  ______________________ Tuesday March 17th at The Kimpton EPIC Hotel WMC Official Opening Party Kings of House, aka Louie Vega and David Morales Wednesday March 18th at The Kimpton EPIC Hotel Amnesia Presents x Do Not Sleep Friday March 20th at The Kimpton EPIC Hotel Repopulate Mars 12pm-11pm

Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there? I’ve lived in Melbourne since 1991.  It has a huge and diverse music ( and art for that matter ) scene that brings in more revenue than sport and yet, as everywhere else, the people making the art aren’t making any of the money. How did you first start playing music? I started playing music when I was 15 and I persuaded my parents to get me guitar lessons after I’d saved up and procured a $14 ‘Audition’ guitar (I saw Marc Ribot playing one of these a couple of years ago!) from Kmart. I’d been inspired by a lot of the music I was hearing on the radio – T rex, Deep Purple, The Stones, basically electrified Rock ‘n’ Roll. Your latest single is out now, what influences your sound and songwriting? A mixture of the prior mentioned ‘electrified rock n roll’, experimenting with  strange beats, unusual ways for generating sound ,weird harmonies, wordplay and stuff going on around me. You have an Australian tour kicking off at the end of January, are there any shows that you are particularly looking forward to playing, if so why? I’m looking forward to the Hobart, Brisbane and Beechworth shows because they’ll be just me and no band and those shows are always more rambling and story  telling, going places I can’t take a band. I’m looking forward to all of the other shows because I’ll have a different combo of local musos and musos that I’m taking with me in each place. How do you prepare for live shows? I put together a repertoire based on what musical configuration I’m working with and what I want to present for that show. I write all he songs I might want to choose from all down over 2 spread pages of and open book – about A3 size when opened out, so that I can look down on the floor and pick any song that takes my mood. I call this ‘The Book Of Swamp’. This is what I do instead of a set list. All of the musos I work with know this and know not to expect a formalised setlist. I then think about what I’m gonna wear. If I’m on my own it stops there but if I have a combo it depends on the people. Some people just can’t be tamed and others are good sports and want to help present a show of some sort. The challenge is to make it look like we didn’t all just meet at a bust stop…ha ha maybe that could be a look in itself. I always go on ‘cold’, don’t meditate or do vocal exercises. Actually that’s a white lie, I have been having a shot or 2 of tequila in recent times to get into ‘the vibe’ but am getting over(or bored with) the taste of tequila.  Your book 'Nine Parts Water, One Part Sand: Kim Salmon and the Formula for Grunge' is out now, how did this book come about and what inspired Douglas to write it? Doug and I hit it off straight away and he’d ask me about some aspect of my past before, after or during a lesson and that would just set me off into some ‘rock story’. I think after a while that got him interested to know if any of these stories had been compiled anywhere and of course they hadn’t. He plucked up the courage and asked me one night if he could write my biography and given the absence of such a thing, and given that I’d attempted it but never had the time, I said yes! You worked along side your guitar student/biographer 'Douglas Galbrath' how did the idea/concept come about to work together? You mean in my band? Obviously Doug is a fairly enterprising fellow. I knew he was already a drummer. He’d taken it on himself to try and be the booker at the local pub and booked some of me and my friends bands in there as well as his own. I saw he was a good drummer and even worked with him playing at his daughter’s schools bazaar, which he also booked bands for.  How did the story telling, story writing between the both of you take place and over what period? He’d invite me to brunch start recording and do what he did at the lessons. He got me talking. Basically he prompted me with a question and off I’d go. What did you find most rewarding and challenging through out the process? For me the most rewarding thing has been to see the threads that I’ve given Doug, get woven into a story. It seems something quite apart from me even though I recognise it all. The most challenging part was to know where the line between being a bit circumspect and censoring oneself was. Obviously I don’t want to fall out with people but there’s also a need for honesty. This is however just a story and not an exposé so there’s a balance to be struck. Any advice for anyone wanting to writing a book? Don’t know if I’m the person to give that advice yet. Maybe wait till I’ve written MY book. Where can we buy/read 'Nine Parts Water, One Part Sand: Kim Salmon and the Formula for Grunge' ? Ha Ha! In all discerning bookstores….but more importantly….and also in the highly likely event that all discerning bookstores don’t have my book in stock (because they’ve sold out ha ha),  at my upcoming shows where I’ll be selling the book and my 2 new singles and more… Who are you listening to at the moment? Bonzo Dog Doodah Band It was Neil Innes’s tragic death that dragged me into yet another You Tube vortex. What do you like to do away from music and writing? Painting and other things Please tell us about any new music that's on the way: I’m going into the studio with Tony Thewlis in 3 days to put the finishing touches on a brand new Scientists album. What's planned for 2020? Touring said Scientists album in the USA  Favourite food and place to hangout? Well right now it’s the roast that I’m about to cook and my fave place will be here when I’m eating it, because I’m HUNGRY.

To celebrate Starcrawler's live Australian debut, the Los Angeles-based rockers have announced a special headline show at Melbourne's rock 'n' roll institute Cherry Bar on Monday 13 January. Lead by the untameable stage presence of vocalist Arrow de Wilde, Starcrawler's glammed up, punk 'n' roll live assault is not to be missed. Tickets on sale now. Starcrawler are currently in Australia for their very first time, supporting fellow Californian natives The Growlers. With three shows down, Starcrawler join The Growlers on a further nine dates down our golden coastline stopping in most East Coast centres and surf breaks across QLD, NSW and VIC, including a night at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Full run of dates below. The tour follows the release of Starcrawler's exciting second album Devour You - a record that dynamically captures the essence and aggression of their gloriously unhinged live shows. Devour You is available digitally and on limited edition black/red marbled vinyl, with a scratch and sniff sleeve via Rough Trade / Remote Control Records.  Starcrawler—vocalist Arrow de Wilde, guitarist/vocalist Henri Cash, bassist Tim Franco, and drummer Austin Smith—is a band possessed by the spirit of its own hometown of Los Angeles, every movement charged with a primal and manic electricity. The band formed in 2015, and since that time have gone from bashing out songs in the garage to earning legendary fans such as Shirley Manson and Elton John, and to supporting the likes of Beck, Foo Fighters, Spoon, The Distillers, MC5 and more. Devour You was produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, L7) and came to life at the famed Sunset Sound.

It’s become possible thanks to a cooperation with one of the most talented and professional teams in the industry. I am beyond excited because this will bring a new element of creativity and change the entire experience for our festival goers on the Main Stage!" Sila Sveta, a stellar interactive media studio, has collaborated with SETUP, an outstanding lighting design studio, to re-invent the central arena with simple linear structures empowered by bold light and video content to create a massive installation. In the very centre of the ensemble will be an intricate experimental object that explores the volume and geometry of a cube.

They create content and provide the management necessary to install and produce any kind of show. Their studio has a unique working pipeline making it possible to deliver its exquisite product with unusually fast turnaround.

Epizode Delivers Mesmerising Main Stage in Collaboration with Sila Sveta

Oscar L, Dee Montero and David Morales have signed a new round of remixes of what is one of Nómadas’ most iconic tracks, Chus & Ceballos’ album released in 2015.   OUT NOW ON BEATPORT We’re going back in time to 2015 to place ourselves during the release of “All I Want” feat Astrid Suryanto’. A track that was Nómadas’ fourth single, Chus & Ceballos’ first album after more than 15 years of producing. An LP that was born under the inspiration for their performance at Burning Man and that resulted in an outstanding project. Now, for Stereo’s 20th anniversary, it’s time that “All I Want” lives a second golden age with a new load of remixes. Back then it was  Technasia, Henry Saiz & Marc Marzenit and Fernando Campos that were on remix duties remixes. Now it’s Oscar L, Dee Montero and David Morales who will be taking over those duties. If the original track was characterized by an organic and ethereal rhythm, Oscar L takes it to more earthly lands where the vocals transfer the prominence to the percussion. That added to the synthetic hints results in a strong and quick track. Dee Montero gives to the track his characteristic sparkle right from the start with a new deep nature. Sharper than the original, the track still has persistence. David Morales, on his side, gives us two reinterpretations. The first one a Red Zone Dub in science fiction code. A track in which the prominence is the percussion resulting in the almost total  disappearance of vocals. And the second one a Diridimi in which the vocals get their presence back, but at the same time the percussion is lightened with the introduction of more air. This “All I Want” ‘s new round of remixes is available on Stereo from 2nd of January.

Chus & Ceballos’ “All I Want” revives to celebrate Stereo’s 20th anniversary
