“Ginny Brings” will allow Aussies to order the perfect G&T at the touch of a button at GinnyBrings.com.au.
Gin is now Australia’s fastest growing light spirit with national gin consumption already up 25% on last year.
Tanqueray takes-over Jimmy Brings to cater to Aussie’s increased desire for the perfect G&T at home.
Australia’s favourite gin, Tanqueray, has today launched an exciting takeover of popular alcohol delivery service, Jimmy Brings. The service, dubbed ‘Ginny Brings’, will offer Australians the unique opportunity to have a professional bartender arrive at their door within 30 minutes to make guests the perfect G&T.
With new research identifying overall gin consumption in Australia up by a huge 25% on last year, and more than 70% of all gin being consumed as part of a G&T, the new Ginny Brings service is the easiest way for Aussies to enjoy their favourite gin-based drink at a dinner party or with friends and family this festive season.
Launching on Saturday 1st December at 12:00PM, Ginny Brings will provide customers with a vast selection of “perfect G&T bundles” specifically curated by in-house Tanqueray gin experts. Each bundle will be delivered with complimentary Fever Tree tonics and garnishes, giving gin fans the convenience of enjoying the perfect G&T from the comfort of their own home within 30 minutes.
Upon any purchase of a G&T bundle, customers in selected postcodes will have the chance to enter a draw for Tanqueray’s Cocktail Mixologist, Krystal Hart – “Ginny” – to personally deliver the package before making the winner and guests a round of drinks on the house.
Krystal Hart said: “Australia’s love affair with gin is stronger than ever, but despite its incredible popularity many of us are struggling to make the perfect G&T at home. As we approach the summer party season, we want to give Aussie gin fans the opportunity to enjoy their perfect drink, as well as the confidence of having the right ingredients to make it at home. We can’t wait to kick Ginny Brings off and take the classic G&T to the next level in homes around Sydney, and what better way to do so than delivering a professional bartender right alongside your Tanqueray Gin.”
Ginny Brings will launch across five weekends in December and offer Sydney residents two ways to get involved. The Ginny bartender delivery service will go live across a set of selected postcodes each weekend, with customers in these chosen areas given the chance to enter the draw for Ginny to arrive at your doorstep – winners will be selected every 30 minutes during hours of operation.
For those that aren’t selected, as well as all 185 Sydney suburbs where Jimmy Brings already operate, the full selection of Tanqueray gins will be available to purchase, delivered with perfectly paired Fever Tree mixers and garnishes.
David Berger, Co-founder of Jimmy Brings commented; “Gin continues to be our best seller, especially as we head into summer. We’re really excited to introduce customers to Ginny and deliver some lucky gin fans a world-renowned bartender directly to their door.”

Fêted London club duo Super Drama are pleased to announce details of a brand new track ‘Ultra’ out this December via Discotexas Records.
They say: “We originally set out to create a big mechanical disco instrumental, with a long build to use in our DJ sets. A heads down, bass heavy track. Hugo loved it and asked us to bring a vocalist into the mix. We had been personal friends with Josh Caffé for a while and always been planning on working together. It was perfect timing as Josh loved the instrumental and within a week we were in Crow’s Nest studios recording the vocals with the help of Olly Betts. The vocals are centred around the idea of being ‘Ultra’.”
A staple fixture on London’s gay club circuit, the two friends from London have been throwing parties, DJing and enjoying the city’s music scene for over ten years.
Super drama began making music together two years ago. Since releasing a slew of unofficial remixes (made for their own DJ sets), they put out their first double A-side release ‘Drama Theme / Irreplaceable Taste’ on vinyl through their own label Super Drama Records and featured remixes by In Flagranti and Bell Towers.
Their next track, ‘Pressure’, a thumping cavernous Berghain-esque monster caught the attention of DJs they love and got them guest mixes on NTS and Rinse FM.
Regular residents at East London gay institution Dalston Superstore, Super Drama also top billed London’s hottest new party, Adonis. Catch them this December at Dalston Superstore’s Skate Lates @ Somerset House: https://www.

Reflecting on a monumental 2018, Vancouver duo The Funk Hunters are wrapping up one of the most pivotal years in their career to date. Whether it was being tapped by U2 for an official remix of their single “Love Is Bigger Than Anything In It’s Way” – a remix that would subsequently land TFH a Billboard Dance Club Chart number 1 – or winning Electronic/Dance Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, The Funk Hunter’s 2018 was nothing short of legendary. Following the March release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Typecast, the guys are keeping the funk alive with a series of official album remixes. Today we’re getting another glimpse into the Typecast remix album with a brand new spin on album cut “Come My Way” by BUKU.
With the original featuring frequent TFH collaborators LIINKS and Wet Paint, “Come My Way” sees the pair experiment with bass driven electronic music for a grandiose, room commanding sound. In enlisting BUKU to throw his own spin on the original, TFH intended for the track to be flipped on its head and take on whole new life – and BUKU has done just that. For BUKU’s rendition of “Come My Way,” the Pittsburgh producer puts a heavy dubstep spin on the original, amping up the tempo, synth and bassline, and successfully translating the track for bass heads everywhere. Suited up with steady womps and barraging breakdowns, BUKU’s take on “Come My Way” is nothing short of mesmerizing.
In addition to BUKU’s “Come My Way” remix, TFH’s Typecast Remix album also features artists including jackLNDN, K Theory, Kotek, and more. As for what else TFH have planned for the new year, the duo will be hitting the road for a number of North American tour dates (outlined below).
If this is your first introduction to The Funk Hunters, they have cultivated an unmistakable signature sound by creating forward-thinking electronic music that is influenced by old school soul, funk and hip-hop. This sound has been cultivated over 600 performances in 16 countries, including major festivals such as Coachella, Burning Man, Osheaga, Shambhala, and Electric Forest. Their music has also amassed over 10 million track streams across their catalogue of remixes and collaborations, including official remixes for Imagine Dragons, Selena Gomez, Big Gigantic, Gramatik, and now U2.

Tassie-born, Sydney-based Hip Hop artist, SwiftBoi isn’t for the faint-hearted.
She’s fierce, she’s fiesty and she’s facedly honest. It just so happens that she spits rhymes faster than any of the of her Aussie Hip Hop counterparts, with a kind of endearing realness, cheek and wit that would make a grown man blush.
You see SwiftBoi may be raw, but she is well-seasoned. She has seen it, heard it and done it all before.
Having performed on stages all over Australia since she was a 12 year old, starting in bars in Outback Western Australia, SwiftBoi has had the kind of life experiences that breed the most genuine of artists.
When she was 16, she ran away from her turbulent home life to pursue a music career in the City – and she has not stopped since, let alone to look back.
SwiftBoi began making a name for herself, building her credibility on the streets of Melbourne by freestyling in the Hip Hop circuit in 2015.
By 2017, she had produced her debut solo Hip Hop album HONEY TRAP.
Within days of it’s release, SwiftBoi’s single “The Bad Guy” had been shared by BODY BAG MEDIA, Triple J, KISS FM, 4ZZZ, WOW FM and Hardcore FM (and that’s just to name a few).
She is quite literally, “making a scene”. And we love her for it.
‘The Bad Guy’ is a gritty, uninvited peek into SwiftBoi‘s much anticipated, forthcoming album, ‘HECTOPLASM‘ which, whilst still in the works, is guaranteed to be an industry game-changer.
‘The Bad Guy’ is evidence of a no holds barred, unapologetic Hip Hop female force that not only refuses to be bound by gentrification, gender or genre, it spits in their faces.
“SWIFTBOI UNDENIABLY SPITS HARDER AND FASTER THAN MOST MALE RAPPERS IN THE SCENE.”
The female Hip Hop artist explicitly aims to challenge everybody’s view on the female contribution to Aussie Hip Hop, whether purposely or not.
For anyone who has ever felt different or disrespected by the masses… this track is for you.
If you are so privileged to have not been effected by misfortune in life, then all we can say is that the chorus is catchy as all hell!
SwiftBoi’s lyrical vendetta against society, the privileged, the entitled and the naysayers reveals a persona that can be described as Tarantino Uma Thurman vs Scarface, a theme which is quite obviously explored visually in her newest video.
The unapologetic lyrics of ‘The Bad Guy’ deal with the confronting issues of self-defense, bullying, and bisexuality – with a focus on being labelled “The Bad Guy” for winning against all odds, something of which SwiftBoi knows about all too well. Also giving way to the track’s overall IDGAF, cheeky attitude.
We can’t get enough of SwiftBoi, who is bulldozing the way for Aussie female hip hop artists with her tongue in cheek, lyrically witty and non-filtered style.
You can check out her new video here. It’s NSFW but then consider yourself lucky if you have a job!
Damaged will be announcing SwiftBoi shows soon so keep an eye on our socials people! She is a force to be reckoned with…
“This is pure fire!” – Sandro Falce, Triple j
“This is a huge statement from SwiftBoi and how they dgaf what anyone thinks of ’em.” – Dave Ruby Howe, Triple j
Sigrid announces her highly anticipated debut album Sucker Punch, set for release on 1 March 2019. The Norwegian pop star’s experience over the last year has been the backdrop for her debut record. From writing at the piano of the stunning Ocean Sound Recordings in her hometown of Alesund, to winning the BBC Sound of 2018, Sigrid’s epic songs are tales of the unexpected; fearless musical collages and shout-outs to human resilience.
“I figured out early on that it’s gonna be difficult for me to try and be anything other than who I am. I always said if I’m gonna do this it’s easiest to be myself and look like myself, where I can recognise myself,”says Sigrid.
Sigrid’s defiant pop was catapulted into the public consciousness last year with the zeitgeist defining ‘Don’t Kill My Vibe’, the certified-Gold ‘Strangers’, A-List record ‘High Five’, critically lauded RAW EP and new single ‘Sucker Punch’. The pop prodigy has also been chosen to perform at the Royal Variety Show, out on 11 December, and Top of the Pops Christmas special, as well as supporting George Ezra in March on his mammoth arena tour, and Maroon 5 in June.
PRE-ORDER SIGRID’S DEBUT ALBUM HERE
We have all witnessed an incredible new talent. Sigrid has won BBC Sound of 2018, debuted at Glastonbury, headlined Shepherd’s Bush Empire, lit up festivals across Reading, Roskilde, Coachella and Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend, sang at the Nobel Peace Prize concert, bewitched TV audiences from opening Later…with Jools Holland, The Late Late Show with James Corden and wowing Dame Helen Mirren on the Graham Norton Show. With streaming numbers reaching 400M globally, the 22-year-old Norwegian sensation is undoubtedly set to continue her ascent with non-conformist and progressive attitudes to the femininity in the pop landscape with ‘Sucker Punch’.

He is known for a powerful 60s era Eric Burdon influenced vocal style combined with a commanding stage presence. Velvet Starling’s unique performance style has invited media and industry insider comparisons to Jack White, Cage The Elephant, Alex Turner and Ty Segal.

Already making a name for himself at such a young age, Velvet Starlings has garnered attention from Los Angeles powerhouse KROQ as well as Sirius XM. His fusion of gritty garage blues coupled with Brit inspired rock has led to high profile festival bookings including SXSW and Summerfest Milwaukee.
Velvet Starlings’ long awaited self-titled EP on Sound x 3 Records is co written by producer Roger Gisborne and mastered by Brian Lucey Cage The Elephant, Artic Monkeys, Beck, Black Keys. The six track EP kicks off with leading single and video, “If Life Ain’t Getting You High”. The single features vintage guitar sounds, driving drums and hard hitting rock vocals. With introspective lyricism detailing living in the moment, “If Life Ain’t Getting You High” is an anthem for the youth of today. Second single, “Sold Down The River” showcases soulful Hammond B3 organ, gritty guitars and raw blues inspired vocals.
With captivating rock vocals, introspective songwriting and vintage styling, Velvet Starlings is an artist on the rise.
