METHYL ETHEL Hurts To Laugh EP out now!

METHYL ETHEL Hurts To Laugh EP out now!

After spending the past year laying low writing in the studio, SOPHIYA returned in style just last month with hard-hitting latest single ‘Rosie’. Today she doubles down on the bold release with a bad-ass cinematic music video, dripping with next level visuals and attitude. Inspired by the film Tokyo Drift, and paying homage to the video game Need For Speed, the music video is directed by Johnny Yayo, with SOPHIYA herself stepping up as creative director (alongside Aman Bayatly) to create what is a music video aesthetic unlike any other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZTNdKjpLJk SOPHIYA said of the clip "I am so grateful to have been able to make this piece in collaboration with the culture, for the culture. Even during this time, we can still stay connected, collaborate ideas and be creative. Enjoy the visuals!" Shot over two days in February, including shutting down Napier Street in Melbourne’s Fitzroy for five hours, SOPHIYA leans completely into her role as one of Australian hip hop’s most exciting up and comers with this bold and unapologetic visual statement. Flanked by some of Melbourne’s finest renowned dancers, Xavier Gibson and Monique Nightingale, the clip also features over $1.2M worth of luxury and exotic cars including a Bentley Continental GT, a Lamborghini Huracan and a Rolls Royce Ghost. Alongside the prestigious cars, the clip also showcases the underground JDM car culture courtesy of Sarah Bahrou from Status Seasonal (JDM Car Club). From channeling The Godfather by cradling her chihuahua, "Juicy", to honouring her proud Greek heritage in opening scenes, ‘Rosie’ is quintessentially SOPHIYA as she champions not only herself and her talents, but her community as well. From fashion influencers and designers through to the underground hip-hop community and beyond, SOPHIYA is bringing her community together every step of the way. ‘Rosie’ is SOPHIYA’s first single since her incendiary debut, ‘White Ivory’ in 2018. With love from triple j and triple j Unearthed including being added to Unearthed rotation, as well as nods from FBi Radio, Acclaim, Purple Sneakers and Off The Clef, it’s clear SOPHIYA has hit the ground running in 2020. "A tough, intimidating return from SOPHIYA" - Declan Byrne, triple j "Definitely one to watch" - Bridget Hustwaite, triple j "There’s a new force in the world of Aussie rap, and her name is SOPHIYA" - Purple Sneakers ------------------------------------------------- LIKE / FOLLOW SOPHIYA:

Following the release of recent ep, Molly & Sally, Russian DJ and producer, Yulia Niko, returns with a special ambient podcast, designed to heal and soothe during these difficult times. Of the mix, Yulia says: “When life situations happen suddenly beyond our preparation, we are faced with uncertainty and with that despair, worry and all the negative thought processes that jolt us out of reality. Music helps to heal so I created this mix combining different styles of music, great for meditation, resting, yoga, cooking or working at home. I wanted to make something that will motivate people and for them to not give up or fall into depression while under the current circumstances of COV-19. ‘Fall In Love With Yourself’ was the first name of the mix but I realized that I am manifesting my love to others. It’s not only about one person, it’s about all of us. Together we are stronger. Enjoy my special podcast for meditation and conscious healing. Namaste. Yours, YN”. Drawing inspiration from Detroit and Chicago house, Yulia’s unique sound has seen her become resident DJ as Berlin’s Watergate club and release on labels such as Crosstown Rebels and Get Physical. Along the way she has also gained recognition from tastemakers like Jamie Jones and Damian Lazarus, plus underground plays on John Digweed’s Transitions podcast. Niko was intoxicated with dance music from a young age and soon got her first residency in Sochi. She has since spent time in New York before settling in Berlin and has now set up her own vinyl only Tochno Techno label. She has also released on Baile Musik, Nervous Records, Plant74, played parties in LA and continues to make musical waves.

Zach Maxwell’s ‘Kill the Kingdom’ releases album

Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there? Currently I'm Based in Toronto and the music scene here is absolutely awesome! There's a huge sense of community and people are so down to earth and friendly. How did you first start playing music? My dad was a musician so it was kinda baked in to me as a kid. I remember when he bought me my first guitar when I was 10 and I never really put it down. What have you been working up to recently? Currently I'm putting out singles from my upcoming EP! Your latest single 'Help Me' is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track? The song comes from a very real place of when I was going through one of the hardest times in my life. It was a late addition to the album and really tells my story. The sound was something we focused on a lot; we wanted something dark, edgy, and powerful. Where and when did you record/produce and who with? We recorded this back in may of 2019 and it was produced by the super talented Joel Stouffer How did you approach the songwriting for Help Me? Help me was the very first person. It was really easy to write actually it pretty much just says everything that was on my mind at that moment. How did the recording take place? We actually recorded the whole song in the basement of my house. I built a home studio a while back so everything besides mix and master was done here. What programs/instruments did you use? This song was produced on ableton with the help of Joel Stouffer. This song was mainly digital instruments as we wanted a very lo-fi sound to it. How did the concept for the Help Me video come about? The video concept came to me very easily. I really wanted this desolate desperate feel and for that me and my team agreed to head out to the dessert in LA. Where and when did you film and who did you work with? We filmed in one day at the El mirage desert in California, just outside of LA. I worked with my incredible video guys who came on the trip from Toronto called Red Tip Productions. The director's name is Dave Redman and he is an absolute genius. What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the creation of the video? The most challenging was the fact that I was sick and it was about 100 degrees fahrenheit out there so that was super hard. But after powering through that, when we wrapped up, I felt so happy that I pushed myself through it. Other than that it all went down pretty smoothe. You have a new album coming out in a few months, what can we expect? In my opinion, You can expect a little bit of everything from mental health to heart break. This album is special to me and I hope that everyone can relate to at least one of the records. Where are you at in the creation of your new album? It's finished! Now we're just putting out music consistently, and putting the full album out early summer. Who are you listening to at the moment? Currently on my most recent played is: The 1975 cause im a die hard.. The band camino cause they're perfect, and Bazzi! What do you like to do away from music? During the winter I snowboard quite a bit, I love cooking, hiking and spending time with my dog Mika! I also love working out and meditating. Favourite food and place to hangout? Easily North of Brooklyn Pizzeria in Toronto such a great spot for a pint and a pie!

STONEFOX RELEASE 2ND SINGLE 'TIME' + ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF NEW EP

STONEFOX RELEASE 2ND SINGLE ‘TIME’ + ANNOUNCE RELEASE OF NEW EP

April was due to be the month beloved indie outfit The Dandy Warhols went back out on the road to play tour dates on the East Coast of the United States. Instead, like so many of us, they find themselves bunkered down in Portland and (in drummer Brent DeBoer’s case) Melbourne, beginning the journey of adjustment to the new living restrictions imposed because of ‘the virus’. But like a flower blooming through the cracks of a concrete pavement, true magic can often yield strong under such painstaking confinements; as is the case with the conjuring of The Dandys’ sixth studio album Tafelmuzik Means More When You’re Alone. The epic 4-hour LP, released through Bandcamp Wednesday 1 April, rejuvenates a new appreciation of play, experimentation and innovation, paying homage to the light-hearted baroque collection of ‘Tafelmusik’ that used to be played during the banquets of yesteryear. A true gift to unsuspecting fans the world over, the recordings took shape after the four-piece finished their fifth studio album Odditorium or Warlords of Mars. “It started out with me pushing everyone to play different instruments,” explains Dandys’ guitarist Peter Holmström. “I ran a drum machine through some effects and then we just fucked around. Courtney and I had keyboards of some kind and Brent was playing bass and Zia was playing the Farfisa.” “Peter had us all whipped up into plugging power tools into guitar pedals and recording every single instrument in our 12,000 square-foot studio,” says singer-guitarist Courtney Taylor-Taylor. “There was no goal or end in mind; at the time, it felt like the culmination of around 15 years of collecting antique, toy or eccentric musical instruments.” A lover of Tafelmusik with a penchant for dinner parties, Courtney felt it only natural to finally create the perfect music to accompany them. She reminisces “At some point during one of our dinners, we noticed that the emotionally buoyant nature and ambiguity of it was perfect. We began organizing it for long multiple-course meals. This gave us a loose framework and really led us to look at the long flow of a three-to-four-hour musical trip.” There’s something poetic and beautiful about the timing of this release. As musicians around the world are putting together material in various formats to entertain their respective fans, The Dandy Warhols have yet again done what they do better than anyone else and taken a sideways step out of the current convention by bringing out a record originally created for a banquet when everyone’s in isolation. Keyboardist Zia McCabe explains why the record is being made available now, rather than at a later date. “I saw on our fan page all the posts of old live shows, videos and interviews people were posting in lieu of seeing us live and realised these guys were starving for new material and there was no way we could get a new album to them in time. I’d recently listened to our never-released Tafelmuzik album and realised it would be perfect. Not only because we could get it out quick, but the music itself felt like just the right medicine for these troubled times. Okay, it’s not a cure for COVID-19, but it could help cure the boredom of being stuck inside – and its light-hearted nature could lift the spirits of people while they organise their own drawers and cabinets.” She signs off with: “I also think it will be a very special treat for everyone who first enjoys this musical journey alone when they finally get to hear it as the backdrop next time they’re allowed a proper feast with some of the friends they’ve been missing.” Tafelmuzik Means More When You’re Alone is out now via The Dandy Warhols Bandcamp music.dandywarhols.com. $1 from each purchase will go to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a charity who provide financial assistance to musicians.

Indie icons The Dandy Warhols drop unprecedented 4-hour exploratory album Tafelmuzik Means More When You’re Alone

Andy Eichhorn is an accomplished vocalist, songwriter and guitarist. Growing up in a small town on the prairies, Andy stood out as unique at a young age with his passion for British & American pop music. He knew how to hunt down albums and magazines before the dawn of the internet to feed this passion for music that wasn't being played on the radio at the time. Looking back, he realized that the diverse songs that WERE being played on the radio in the 80's would be his greatest influence. His keen desire to sing, play guitar & write songs combined with some years of music lessons at the hands of his supportive parents afforded Andy considerable success playing, writing & recording throughout his life, most notably the acclaimed Canadian band Zuckerbaby. As singer & co-writer in Zuckerbaby, Andy travelled Canada coast to coast, recorded & released 2 major label albums spawning 5 singles. Andromeda, Heavy & Shampoo were released from their debut album and Overexposure & Holiday from their second record. The band filmed 4 music videos with Andromeda reaching #13 on the MuchMusic video countdown. Zuckerbaby were (are!) a great live band & shared the stage with many of the bands that Andy still admires today. "Where's Andy?" As his friends, family and bandmates know, he has a special way of disappearing. He pulled his best "Andy" ever over the last few years by not stepping foot on a stage or into a recording studio, other than a few shows with Zuckerbaby. During this time, Andy has been writing his own music with no real plan to do anything with it. That all changed when he reconnected with friend & Producer Lorrie Matheson who invited Andy to his studio, Arch Audio to hang & record some of the songs he'd been working on. Now almost complete, his solo 5 song EP will be released soon.

QUOTE When I wrote the song "Anxiety" I felt the urgent need to express how society has distorted our values and morals. We live in a very strange world today and unfortunately many of us suffer from mental illness in silence. I hope this song can bring some comfort to listeners knowing they are not suffering alone." - Pat Rossi

Pat Rossi Premiere

What is your name and role with TAN COLOGNE? I'm Lauren Green and I play guitar and sing for live shows and play guitar/vocals/bass/drums/percussion/some keys for Tan Cologne recordings. I'm Marissa Macias and I play guitar/synth/vocals/percussion in performance and guitar/vocals/keys/synth/some percussion for recording. Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like? We are based in Taos, New Mexico. For such a small population, there is definitely a wide appreciation for music with a few spaces to perform. How did TAN COLOGNE form? Tan Cologne began by writing experimental soundscapes to echo our landscape and then morphed into song structures with vocals. What's been happening recently? A LOT has been happening in the world. Currently in the US and New Mexico, we're ordered to stay home as much as possible due to the "pandemic", so we've been creating our own dimension and writing a new EP and sending care packages to friends and family. Who programs/instruments do you use? Lauren plays a Fender Mustang and Marissa plays a Fender Jaguar and Strat. For pedals and accessories, Lauren uses a MXR Analog Chorus, Japanese Boss RV-2 Digital Reverb, volume pedal and at times a Sound Stone guitar sustainer made by Merkaba Electronics out of Austin, TX. Marissa uses an EarthQuaker Organizer pedal, along with a MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay and TC Electronic HOF Reverb and plays a Roland GAIA Synth. For recordings, we use a TAMA drum set and various percussive elements. Your debut album recently came out on Labrador Recs, where and when did you record and who with? Yes! We recorded the album ourselves in Northern New Mexico in a very old adobe structure. We mixed the album ourselves in New Mexico and had some additional mixing and mastering done by our good friend Gory Smelley who owns Marfa Recording Co. in Marfa, TX. Who or what influenced the sound and songwriting? Living in New Mexico, we constantly explore the vast landscape and mirrored responses. We feel like we were influenced mostly by the Earth's elements and vibrations. How did you go about writing the music? At times, we would each separately have a segment of a song we individually wrote and then come together and see if they would fit together like puzzle pieces. Often they would! Otherwise, we sit down together and start with guitar parts and then mess around with vocals melody ideas and sift through percussive options. We would also write through layering ideas while simultaneously recording. What did you find most challenging and rewarding during the creation of the record? The challenging parts of recording happened while recording in such an old adobe structure with faulty outlets. We would have to shift a whole setup around because we would hear ghosts crackling through the amps if they were plugged into unsettled electricity. Hearing the album as a whole and hearing our unique sound that came of it was very rewarding! What do you like to do away from music? Soaking in hot springs, long walks, looking at rocks, rearranging spaces, cooking, swimming, researching and getting obsessed with different topics, esp having to do with UFOs. Who are you listening to at the moment? Lauren - Bo Hansson, The Durutti Column, Grouper, Popol Vuh, Natural Information Society, Lorelle Meets the Obsolete Marissa - Khan Jamal, Jefferson Airplane, Johnny Hawaii. Favourite food and place to hangout? Lauren - Thai food and home cooked meals. Favorite place to hang out is anywhere with sun and water. Marissa - Anything with Arugula and Tamari and favorite place to hang out is anywhere in water. www.tancologne.com www.instagram.com/tancologne www.twitter.com/tan_cologne tan-cologne.bandcamp.com riotactmedia.com/roster/tan-cologne/
