Lucky Polo launches into new sonic and lyrical territory with debut single ‘Minimum Wage Dreamer’. The young and eccentric Sydney native, now based in Irvine, CA seeks to find a new angle within RnB music and create music authentic to himself.
This single aims to question the late stage capitalist society we currently live in, constantly being pacified by social media and hypebeast culture. The single probes the validity and legitimacy of this in such a way it almost criticises it. It forces the listener to consider their own consuming habits and how living a life reflective of what is seen on social media can lead to a careless and depressing lifestyle.
Lucky Polo is currently preparing to release his debut single on the 9th of December. Though based currently in Irvine CA, the Australian artist harbours a deep connection to the local music scene in Sydney.
Lucky Polo’s experience in a variety of bands spanning multiple genres has deeply influenced the unique sound achieved in ‘Minimum Wage Dreamer’. Specifically, his involvement in jazz ensembles and punk rock outfits are evident in the sonic foundations of the piece.
Lucky Polo’s main focus is to create something fresh and authentic to himself. “I mean it’s definitely easier said than done, especially with so many inspiring artists out there you just want to copy them all. My personal perspective is realising that everybody is going to have a different take on something, so it’s all about embracing these defining features. For me it’s about trying to get as much of my personality in there as possible and hopefully people can relate to that.”
This release is incredibly exciting for Lucky Polo, as not only is it the first time he has released music as a solo artist, but also the first time he has sung and rapped on a song. “It took a minute for me to feel comfortable
with my own voice, but that’s the thing, I’m the only one with my voice in the world so if I don’t just do it no one’s ever going to hear it – as narcissistic as that sounds.” Having always had the role of supporting someone else vocally, this was a big shift for him.
On this release, he worked with Marrickville Golden Retriever Studio’s own Antonia Gauci on engineering and mixing, Chloe Dadd as assistant engineer and Simon Berckelman as masterer. These are important names in the Australian music industry who have worked on some of the greatest artists to come out of Australia such as Jessica Mauboy, Lime Cordiale and Boy and Bear.

The transition from early to mid-20s can be a challenging time – changing friend groups, heightened independence, less time and more commitments. It can be a daunting, challenging and isolating time where perspectives shift and priorities change. For Adelaide born, Sydney-based Kyle Charles Hall, this transition created a re-centering of self and a grateful recognition of the joy and love that does exist – physicalised in his latest song “in love, 23”.
“In Love, 23 is about a time in my life where I felt incredibly lost (quarter life crisis anyone?). I feel like at this age you really start to notice how precious time is and this song was very much a step towards being more grateful for what I do have and loving the people around me with all I have.” Kyle Charles Hal
A sure to be loved tune amongst gen-z and millennials, the palatable croon and playful visuals are reminiscent of recent global pop stars Dominic Fike, ROLE MODEL and closer to home with KIAN, Hein Cooper and Hauskey.
There is a careful DIY feel to the production, from the mix of live-tracking in Kyle’s bedroom and in-studio at Debaser Studio (Andy Lawson). This results in a supremely relatable song that dives into the carefree exploration of adolescence into young-adulthood. From the recording, Andy Lawson (Noah Dillon, Death by Denim) continued to Mix the track with mastering by 301’s Steve Smart (Vance Joy, Casey Chambers, Ocean Alley).
“This was an unusual song for me as I wrote it very stereotypically; edge of the bed, pen and paper and an acoustic guitar kinda vibe. The production I then did played a huge part in getting the song to sound how it does but at the heart of it, it’s very much a singer/ songwriter song. The first chorus of the song was actually live tracked, with me playing and singing it into one mic to sort of keep a little bit of how the song first sounded.” Kyle Charles Hall
Since debuting in 2019, the west-coast singer-songwriter has scored a support slot for Teenage Joans, combined DSP streams of over 260,000+, and support from industry tastemakers triple j and Radio Adelaide. It’s clear his sound is finding a home with Aussie fans across the country.

Over 32,000 fans descended upon Flemington Racecourse to partake in a stellar international and local lineup of rock, metal, and punk (and all things in between) bands.
Ukrainian metalcore band Jinjer kicked off on the main stage at the start of the day. They didn’t disappoint fans, delivering a high energy with lead singer Tatiana’s impressive vocal ability switching from melodic precision to deep screaming growl.
Locals Thornhill have created a huge local fanbase, punters turned up in droves to see the dynamic set from the metal 4 piece.
There was lineup of bands covered most heavy music genres. Swedish punk band Millencollin deliver a tight set that encouraged plenty of crowd surfing and moshing. Sabaton also from Sweden played their battle-themed heavy metal complete with machine gun microphone stands and fire. Locals Amity Affliction also delivered some fire during their
intense set.
Electric Callboy was a crowd favourite, with fans adorning wigs and coloured tracksuits like the band as they performed their eclectic mix of electric, pop, and metalcore music with comedic slant.
It was great to see one of my personal favorite Japanese rock bands, One Okay Rock deliver a short 45 minute high energy set on the main stage. Also from Japan. metalcore Paledusk floored punters with their super high energy performance, with guitarist Daisuke doing 360 degree high flying kick whilst playing.
Gojira delivered a super tight performance with intense energy, the blasts of C02 almost symbolic of them letting off steam. Metal veterans Soulfly also showcased their Brazilian metal style, with fans lapping it up.
A pleasant surprise was seeing death pop Norwegian band Blood Command, fronted by Aussie singer Nikki Brumen. A super high energy set and the band seemed to love every moment performing.
Many punters were here to see the legendary Deftones perform opening with “Genesis” and also including their classics “My Own Summer” and “Be Quiet and Drive” as the sun began to set.
UK modern rockers Bring Me the Horizon headlined the festival, starting with explosive magenta confetti bomb as they launched into “Can You Feel My Heart”. The lighting, screen and stage visuals were absolutely stunning, and reflected the theme for each song. BMTH fans got everything they wanted.
Where are you currently based?
Currently based on the NSW, Central Coast
What’s the music scene like on the NSW Central Coast at the moment?
There are sooooo many emerging artists on the coast and everyone kind of rallies together to support each other, however, there isn’t a HUGE music scene as such in terms of performing at venues. Generally need to go to Sydney or Newcastle for that 🙂
How did you first start playing music?
I first started playing music when I began learning guitar. When I was younger, I used to create mini concerts with the songs that I had written (which by the way were terrible) in my living room and my brother was the lighting man, sound guy and ticket seller for my parents to come to viewings hahaha
What’s been happening recently?
I have been on a 3 year hiatus due to a few things. First reason, life can get very busy for me as I play semi-professional sport and am also a PE teacher. Second reason is that I wanted to spend time writing with some other people and really ensure that I honed my craft a little further. Now I have currently been recording a whole bunch of songs so I am prepared for a big 2023.
Your latest single ‘Doing Better’ Ft Ramzie and co-written with your friend Boy Soda is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
The sound was influenced by pop, rnb, trap vibes. I am really loving artists like charlieonnafriday, KODE, Arizona Zervas and Justin Bieber so I wanted the sound to be somewhere within that zone. In terms of the songwriting, the inspiration came from a really shitty relationship that I was in that I had just got out of at the time. I always remember this one thing that they said to me which was “you will never do any better than me” so that is kind of where the idea came from. I could finally say look at me, I am doing much better hahahhaha
Please tell us about the songwriting process with Boy Soda:
The songwriting process with Boy Soda is always so EASY because he is an absolute freak songwriter. We basically felt out an instrumental and then began mumbling different melodies to it. As we mumble we start finding lyrics that fit both melodically and figuratively. We wrote 2 songs that day because we had a good flow with topics, melodies and lyrics.
How did you come to work with Ramzie and how was the experience?
I came to work with RAMZIE due to Liam Quinn who produced, mixed and mastered the song. I basically had built the entire song but didn’t have a bridge and was unsure whether to leave an empty music space there, write my own bridge or get a rapper on it. Liam said he had contact with RAMZIE who is based in Atlana, US. He reached out and within a couple of days he had recorded a verse and sent it to me. It was awesome and fit super well so we used it 🙂
It was a super easy process because RAMZIE is so fast with the way he works.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who with?
I recorded ‘Doing Better’ in 2019 as a demo initially with Boy Soda on the Central Coast. I then got it produced, mixed and mastered by Liam Quinn about a week later in his Sydney studio.
Liam Quinn (Peach PRC) produced the track, please tell us about how you came to work with Liam and the experience as a whole:
I reached out to Liam a while back because I had followed him on socials for a while and new his stuff was awesome!! My experience with Liam every single time we have worked has been amazing. I get along with him extremely well so it feels easy when we work together. There is a lot of trust in the process with him.
Please tell us about any artists from your area the we should keep an eye on:
ELASKIA is huge and always has been. She plays a lot of festivals and has her song on netflix TV shows including Dynasty as well as free to air TV like Home and Away. She is awesome and a great songwriter.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
My biggest influences at the moment are charlieonnafriday, The Kid Laroi, Justin Bieber, KODE, Arizona Zervas, FLETCHER, Blackbear.
What do you like to do away from music?
Away from music I am an athlete and PE teacher. I am actually heading to Ireland next year to play Oztag for the Australian team so that is really exciting. Besides that I just love being around my friends, eating food and playing with my crazy dog haha.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2022 going into 2023?
I will be finishing up some music projects and ensure that I am prepared for a huge 2023 filled with lots of different music.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
Any food is amazing, however, if I was to choose a cuisine it would probably be Thai. If I am being super specific though I JUST LOVE POTATO. Cook me potato in any form and I will be absolutely living for it!! Haha
Place to hangout is generally with my friends by my pool OR I do love the beach in summer.

Kaliopi is a Melbourne-based Greek-Australian Blues Artist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter who draws on the great blues tradition and the powerful blues women who made it their own.
Kaliopi and her band – the Blues Messengers – will soon launch the first single When the Levee Breaks and the video clip from their new studio album; and will be performing the album live at the launch. This will happen next Saturday December 10th from 3:00pm at the George Lane venue, which is at 1 George Lane, St Kilda.
The recent Lismore floods inspired her to release ‘When the Levee Breaks’ as the first single from the new album. When the Levee Breaks is a country blues song written and first recorded by Memphis Minnie in 1929. The lyrics reflect experiences during the upheaval caused by the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Led Zeppelin re-worked the song on the 70’s.
“I’ve always been a passionate advocate for the underdog, marginalised peoples, women’s rights and so-called obligatory roles; so mixing that with issues of subordination, slavery and displacement resonates with gut wrenching feelings, ignites improvisation and hollering that’s healing in the blues…” Kaliopi says. The lyrics of these traditional tunes draw on timeless metaphors that resonate to this day – such as climate change. Specifically, within the Memphis Minnie repertoire Kaliopi’s band have recorded, includes themes around domestic violence, substance abuse, systemic corruption, prostitution, discrimination, and subordination.
I’m living in Perth at the moment, gigging around the place and recording music where I can.
Since I was a young child, maybe about 7 years old, I had this dream. I had this goal in life that I wanted to achieve. I had this vision of becoming a doctor or a lawyer. However, my parents insisted that instead of pursuing law or medicine, that I should get a real job, and start playing music on the streets. So I began to busk in Perth. After finishing high school, I moved to London where I busked in cool spots like Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. Busking there I met some amazing musicians, who really inspired me to pursue music and make something out of it.
During the summer, I like to return to the city of Perth and busk through the summer, so in between a few gigs here and there, that’s what I’ve mostly been up to recently. Other than that, I went down a YouTube rabbit hole the other day of free solo rock climbing, and the story of Alex Honnold. So I’ve been imagining how cool it would be to do that. But then I remember my crippling fear of heights, and my inability to rock climb, so I’ll stick to experiencing that through YouTube.
The idea with this music was to start with a cool song and dress it up in a lot of sound layers to make something unique and out there. Imagine starting with a Margherita pizza (the main skeleton of the song) and then deciding to spice it up by putting spaghetti bolognese on top. Weird, yes. But probably delicious. That’s the kind of thinking that inspired this song, a weird combination of musical flavours all blending together to create ‘Connected To Disconnection’.
I started with the music, I can’t remember if the drums or the guitar came first. But I had that and at that point it had a bit of a RHCP feel in my opinion. I sat with the instrumental for a few listens and one of the themes that popped into my head was our societal addictions to our phones. I feel like most of my generation (myself included) have become very absorbed in this virtual world brought about by smartphones. At the same time, our phones are an amazing thing that give us tools that in the past could not be dreamed of. So they’re extremely harmful in some ways, but extremely helpful in other ways. That’s part of what I was trying to capture in the lyrics when writing the song. Funnily enough, I wrote the lyrics on my phone!
I recorded/produced the track at my home studios with the assistance of copious amounts of coffee. I did a lot of editing on the sound by myself and then I took the song to Rob Grant, at Poons Head Studios who mixed and mastered the song for me. He gave me a lot of guidance as well with the arrangement of the track, and making all the sounds blend in and stand out at the same time.
I recorded everything several times (ALOT of takes) and then cut and pasted the best parts of each take to make the best possible take. I get carried away sometimes while recording and don’t take enough breaks, which is what I did while recording this song. I think that fatigue made me go into an almost zombie-like state of exhaustion, which I think added some of the vibe of the song. It’s meant to seem energetic and tired simultaneously. Like a zombie dancing erratically.
I wanted to express the music visually to go along with the song. I felt the best way to do this was with lights. I had two ideas for the music – fire flow artists or a cool lighting show. Me being my excessive self decided to go for both. I worked closely with the team to find a way to make this work and allow both aspects of the video to stand out.
I filmed the video with Ward Media, I had Orion Audio Visual doing the lighting and laser show and finally the amazing Shelby Jewel and Charlotte Noonan as the flow artists for the video.
And much more!
I don’t have much outside music, I usually shoot the breeze with friends and get up to whatever shenanigans arise. To me, who I’m with is more important than what I’m doing. I try to live my life surrounded by music as much as I can though, I want to dedicate my life to creating interesting and unique art, and sometimes that means sacrificing other fun adventures like travelling in order to hone in on my craft.
The end of the year gets quite hectic with gigs so I’m busy riding that out. Once 2023 comes around I’m looking to record a new album early in the year. I’ve also got some more songs ready to be released coming out on my debut EP.
Favourite food would need to be sushi. During the summer I like to busk, and I’ll go into a cycle of eating nothing but sushi during this time. Shout out to Sushi Hub in Perth City for fuelling my busking season. Another favourite place to go is Yelo or Canteen in Trigg, great spots. I’m actually writing this at Yelo right now.
Title: All Around The World (Alan Walker Remix)
Label: Virgin Records/Universal Music
R3HAB recruits his fellow heavyweight Alan Walker for a remix of his iconic hit “All Around The World” with A Touch Of Class from 2019, which remains R3HAB‘s most streamed and most certified release to date. It’s a tough act to follow, but the one and only Alan Walker puts a fresh spin on it. Walker honors the original’s disco influence and layers in some groovy, euphoric melodies and an energetic breakdown. “All Around The World” first became a hit with A Touch of Class‘s release in 2000, and with the return of everything early-aughts, this is the perfect time for a revival so that the hit can rule clubs and festivals around the world (literally) once again.

I hope both our fans will like this new approach and will celebrate with us all around the world.” – R3HAB
“When R3HAB asked me to make a remix of this classic, I had to jump on it. I hope my remix gets the Walkers around the world in a party mood, and create new amazing memories on it.” – Alan Walker

“I am releasing my second album titled “GLOBO” which is entirely focused on the upcoming football/soccer World Cup that will be held in Qatar this November. The inspiration behind the album dates back many years. I was born in London, England, and have had a massive passion for the sport from a very young age. I’ve always liked conceptualizing my projects around communal themes such as sports. The World Cup is something that happens once every four years, and there hasn’t really been a ‘World Cup‘ album made by an artist before, so I decided to take on the grand challenge of creating one. It was an unbelievably difficult project, yet extremely fulfilling and emotional. I am blessed and grateful to have worked with so much talent from around the world to give the project what it deserves. The album has vast influences from different regions such as Latin America, North America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, & Asia. I hope that this album connects with you and the rest of the world as it is immensely special to me!” – BLVD.
