“Chorus sealed the deal with me. Amazing”
– Bridget Hustwaite, Triple J
Staying true to their musical roots, ‘Lightning’ is a continuation of Stonefox’s moody and emotionally honest work and the first taste from their forthcoming EP with Sydney-based producer Jean-Paul Fung (Last Dinosaurs, Client Liaison).
The project marks a huge progression for the three-piece Melbourne band (Jenna Russo, Tim Carroll and Monica Spasaro) and explores the intricacies of poisonous relationships. ‘Lightning’
Reminiscent of The XX and Daughter, Stonefox have shaped their own definitive indie electro-pop sound consisting of reverb-drenched vocals, clean guitars and heartfelt lyrics. The trio have accumulated over 50 million streams across Spotify alone and have supported the likes of Timberwolf, Mosquito Coast and City Calm Down.
Their unique brand of ‘left-of-centre pop’ has also earned airplay on triple j (Good Nights, Home and Hosed and Unearthed) and FBi Radio, alongside praise from Pilerats, Forbes and Pede
‘Lightning’ is only the start for Stonefox – with more in store this year the trio is sharing their most evocative sound yet.

Today, Frontier Touring announce the addition of two special guests on the bill:
Joining in Fremantle is red hot WA legends Gyroscope. The four-piece delivered a slew of triple j classics in the late ‘90s/early 00’s: think ‘Baby, I’m Getting Better’, ‘Snakeskin’, and ‘Fast Girl’… With 7 x Hottest 100 entries between 2003-2010, the band were quickly a staple of Australia’s festival scene, playing two Big Day Outs, Groovin The Moo, Splendour In The Grass and plenty more. Gyroscope earned nine WAMi awards, 3.4 million+ streams on Spotify, a #1 album in Breed Obsession, all before stirring it up again six months ago when they dropped EP 4YRLV . Now, they’ll appear as special guest of Jimmy Eat World – fun fact, who they played with in 2003!
In Brisbane and Adelaide, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by fast rising Newcastle five-piece Eat Your Heart Out, who recently smashed it as part of the line-up for UNIFY Gathering (catch a glimpse of that here). Early 2019 saw the release of the band’s debut album Florescence, out via Fearless Records. The quintet – Caitlin Henry (vocals), Andrew Anderson (guitar), Will Moore (guitar), Dom Cant (bass), and Jake Cronin (drums) – showcase a searing power on tracks like ‘Carousel’ and ‘Closer To The Sun’, earning over 2.7m streams on Spotify in 2019 and rising.

![Loveland Festival has just announced a massive lineup for 2020. On August 8th and 9th the Amsterdam-based festival will once set up camp at the stunning Sloterpark. For their 25th anniversary Loveland plans a 4-star hotel takeover with exclusive afterparties, rooftop BBQ, hangover breakfast and more. Over 75 artists will make their way to Amsterdam in August for what is shaping up to be a huge 25th anniversary year for the long-running promoter. Since day one the stunning Sloterpark in the Dutch capital serves as a stunning backdrop for the 2-day festival weekender. Ever since 1995, the driving force behind the Loveland organisation has been the endless love for quality house and techno music. In 2020 this still serves as a guiding principle when it comes to the artist lineup. The well-balanced lineup features leading global artists such as Diynamic head honcho Solomun, Afterlife founders Tale Of Us, Detroit legend Jeff Mills and the highly praised Dixon. Making his comeback at Loveland Festival is the illustrious Eric Prydz. Joining the list of headliners are UK-ace Jamie Jones, widely respected duo Adriatique, seasoned veteran Richie Hawtin, the charismatic Loco Dice and hard hitters like Chris Liebing, Rødhåd and Dave Clarke. Fans of a more melodic, progressive sound can indulge themselves with the return of Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Guy J, Guy Mantzur together with Dutchies Miss Melera and Olivier Weiter. There is no shortage of Dutch powerhouses with pioneers Speedy J, Joris Voorn and Secret Cinema. Representing the new generation are Egbert, VNTM and Ferro. Fueled by the love for music, the festival has a long history of quality live performances. Stephan Bodzin, Agents of Time, Mathew Jonson, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and Booka Shade will be on live act duties in 2020. To top it all off Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City will take the stage for some big fun with a special live performance. Over the 25-year history, many artists grew to be long-time fan favorites at Loveland. The likes of Sébastien Léger, Aril Brikha, Arjuna Schiks, Remy, Dimitri, Michel de Hey, Melon, Vince Watson and Benny Rodrigues to name just a few. One stage will be dedicated to all of Loveland’s legacy artists. On Saturday this will be a live-only stage and on Sunday it’s strictly back-to-back sets. As a special surprise, Loveland announced this week that it will take over a 4-star hotel during the festival weekend. Nestled right in between the old Amsterdam city center and the festival grounds, overlooking the green oasis of Sloterpark, the hotel offers spacious rooms fitted with all modern conveniences, a rooftop Skybar with a panoramic view of Amsterdam. The hotel package offers an experience of Loveland Festival like never before. Visitors can add to the fun with alluring upgrades like a Rooftop BBQ, hangover breakfast and exclusive afterparties or really hit it out of the park with the all-in Golden Package including 2-day backstage access for the festival.

‘Wildfire’ is a euphoric and emotionally charged track that was written in a cosy bedroom set up in a basement with Phebe Starr and Xavier Dunn. D’Arcy says she was reflecting on two somewhat contradicting worlds through wordplay, focussing on the two words that had been repeatedly lingering in her head over a period; ‘wildfire’ and ‘dollhouse’.

Marking their first release for the new decade, Sydney production duo Cosmo’s Midnight have partnered with globally-celebrated pop artist Ruel to deliver their adoring serenade ‘Down For You’, out via Black Butter Records (UK), Sony Music (Australia) and RCA Records (USA).
‘Down For You’ celebrates the forward-thinking abilities that have propelled both Australian acts into the spotlight, with Ruel’s alluring pull amplified by Cosmo’s Midnight’s playful production and signature sonic universe. From the outset, the unmistakable grin of the duo’s pop-infused sound and funky drum beat forge the hook, while Ruel’s souled words and subtle R&B speak to the throws of love and hypnotic devotion, where nothing else can exist. The track sees a perfect unification of their diverse talents, each party effortlessly moving between genres and delivering moments the world can’t peel their eyes from.
“Was so much fun writing this one with the boys. The song kinda wrote itself in the session we had. We all felt like we really related to the story we wrote. So happy to finally have a song out with Cosmos and Pat, love u guys.” Ruel
Across 2019, Cosmo’s Midnight gifted tastes of fresh directions that they have been mastering, include the effervescent ‘C.U.D.I (Can U Dig It)’ (now sitting on over 8 million global streams), the lush disco-leaning sound of ‘Have It All’ feat. Age.Sex.Location and the stick grooves of ‘It’s Love’ feat. Matthew Young, plus a killer rendition of Moloko’s ‘Sing It Back’ in their Like A Version debut. The duo continued kicking goals on the stage in 2019 playing festivals across Australia including St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival and Listen Out, charming crowds and selling out headline shows across the US and Asia, embarking on a wild Australia wide tour with sold out shows at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre and Melbourne’s The Forum. In 2018, the brothers found their stride on the road to their widely-acclaimed debut, triple j Feature Album ‘What Comes Next’, which featured the now gold-certified favourites ‘History’, ‘Talk To Me’ and ‘Get To Know’ and solidified their mark in a globally-reaching audience.
Pop phenomenon Ruel has quickly been making a name for himself since breakout single ‘Dazed & Confused’, which earned him a 2018 ARIA title as Best Breakthrough Artist and over 100 million streams on Spotify alongside fellow favourite, ‘Younger’. Launching the global fame, he began touring internationally and across Australia including multiple sold-out shows at the Sydney Opera House. Since, he’s released his 2019 EP Free Time (now reaching over 128 million Spotify streams), achieved platinum-status for three singles including most recent hit, ‘Painkiller’, and has been announced to play St. Jerome’s Laneway tour 2020.
With a busy touring schedule, Cosmo’s Midnight have taken off the new year with a spot at Australia’s Party in the Paddock next month, an expansive live show, the release of ‘Down For You’ and the promise of plenty more music to come.

What is your name and role within Lucifour M?
My name is Michele Ducci, I am the main singer in the group….
Where are you currently based and what is the music scene like there?
Music scene in Berlin or London is very good…In Italy…well there are a lot of great bands honestly….but not a real music scene, just TRAP 🙂 except few venues or exceptions.
Your new single FOX is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this single?
The process, starting from jam session, is unconscious. We begin to play and slowly themes, melodies start popping up, which we resonate until they become clear. This is the freest part, sometimes we find ourselves playing metal or classic jazz. After a bit of labor limae, we record. The studio part, from sound design to the mix, is instead super surgical and manic.
How did you go about writing FOX?
That’s one of our fevorite songs.
FOX is off your next EP ‘DUE’ being released via Sonar Kollektiv Berlin / K7 Records London, where and when did you record/produce?
Here n our own studio, in Italy, in the end of 2019.
How did you approach the recording/production process?
We play live, to mantain that enegery that just live music can give. This as the first part of the process, the second one is a long work of sound design and mix. For mastering we trust the great Dave Cooley (L.A.)
Who did you work with during the recording and production?
All the songs are written, mixed and prodouced by us except for the master, done by Sir Dave Cooley.
What programs/instruments did you use?
Logic Pro Tools & Ableton… we use a lot of instruments, from Juno to Cp70 and iPhone 🙂
There are a lot of things this year. We were born between the end of 2019 and this 2020: we started with the participation in Worldwide fm, single releases going on radio and newspapers. There is a lot of interest around Lucifour M at the moment. .. we are currently defining some releases: a video-étude made together with the collective of directors called Zapruder, currently nominated for the Golden Bear at the international film festival in Berlin. A New York director, Robert Daniel Martin, has inserted some of our songs for his next film “State Of The Game”; we are setting up and defining the live and the tour. There are many things: we will be at the Great Escape Festival!! This coming May in Brighton and – this is our personal thing – we can’t wait to release the remix of Dog, our first single, made by the legendary Daniele Baldelli !! There are many other things we can’t say, but this 2020 has a nice wind.
You’ll be playing The Great Escape TOur in Brighton UK and will be touring Europe, the UK and Italy, how do prepare for live shows?
Well…we just had few gigs from Berlin to Italy, never really tour yet..but playing live is a sort of nirvana we really enjoy…then the touch with audience….always different and rewarding in itself….basically is the best of dreaming and the best of living stuck in a moment…
Puma Blue and Dualipa.
There’s nothing away from music.
Conquer the world?! 🙂
Fish and cheeps?!?!…Unsual for 3 italians, isn’it… 😉 …not a paricular place maybe…uhmmm….hanging aroung in different places, enviroments, people…that is the best…problably, even though in our studio we really feel like home.
The festival also offers six days of camping for 12000 attendees in the pop up campsite it builds, complete with all amenities and plenty of extra activities to keep people entertained around the clock. This includes fun fair rides, food and drink, water sports, chill out areas, shishas, a pool to float about in, and much more including VIP and ULTRA VIP areas.
The line-up for this sun kissed getaway include techno and house superstars from across the spectrum such as Ibiza king Carl Cox, chunky techno star Loco Dice, Trip boss and acid techno icon Nina Kraviz, Spanish titan Oscar Mulero as well as Italian hero Marco Carola and White Isle favourite Andrea Oliva plus chart topping US hitmaker Fisher.
