Queens of the Stone Age announce ‘The End Is Nero’ Summer 2024 Australian Tour

by the partae October 24, 2023
written by the partae

MELBOURNE (TUE 24 OCTOBER, 2023): Queens of the Stone Age officially announce ‘The End Is Nero’ Summer 2024 Australian tour, the band’s first appearance in Australasia since 2018. The official announcement comes after the band excitedly teased the news via social media last week, “sending shockwaves of excitement through the Gold Coast and beyond.” – GC Mag.

The far-reaching tour, hailed by NME as “a band reaching the peak of their powers” and the Lincoln Star Journal to proclaim it “the best rock show I’ve seen in a very long time” will see the band start at Red Hill Auditorium in Perth on 10th February, ahead of shows in Adelaide, Hobart, Torquay, Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane.

‘The End is Nero’ tour is in support of their acclaimed eighth studio album, ‘In Times New Roman…’ which debuted at #2 on the ARIA charts and which NME Australia described as “their darkest, knottiest material to date.’ The End Is Nero tour is an invitation from Joshua Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Michael Shuman, Dean Fertita and Jon Theodore to come celebrate the end of the world, which we hear is “in a month or two.” They would like to encourage the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between to attend, this is where you belong. Leave your judgement at the door, bring anything and everything else.

 

For all shows, Queens of the Stone Age fan presale begins 11am (local) Wednesday 25 October. 

 

My Live Nation members can secure tickets during the My Live Nation presale beginning 11am (local) Wednesday 25 October for the Mona Lawns, Hobart show and for all other shows, beginning 12pm (local) Friday 27 October.

by the partae October 16, 2023
written by the partae

It only feels right that Live Nation Australia have a special homecoming event up their sleeves to cap off what has been an epic roll out of ONES TO WATCH events throughout 2023. 

Unearthing a whole new wave of fantastic Australian talent to packed rooms of industry professionals and stakeholders at invite-only events in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane so far this year, Live Nation Australia are proud to announce that the game-changing live music discovery series returns to Melbourne for its second round this October 26th.

This new ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE  event in Melbourne also ties into Live Nation Australia’s dedicated efforts to supporting the Australian music industry, kicking off a fundraising campaign to aid Support Act during Ausmusic Month, giving attendees the opportunity to donate upon entry.

Following on from its wildly successful event in Brisbane, held during BIGSOUND 2023, this month’s lineup of showcasing artists for the Melbourne ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE  event continue to elevate the standard when it comes to the selection of incredible Australian talent primed to perform. 

Featured here, the ONES TO WATCH audience will see Los Angeles-based Australian pop artist Blake Rose headline the event.

Blake Rose, originally from Perth, has been taking strides in solidifying his platform internationally, decamping to Los Angeles to chase his music dream. A talented multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer, Blake Rose has accrued over 100 million streams off the back of successful tracks including ‘Lost’ and ‘Gone’. Releasing his debut EP, A World Gone By, to critical acclaim, Blake Rose has supported the likes of Noah Kahan, Boys Like Girls and more. Most recently, his 2023 EP, You’ll Get It When You’re Older, has cemented his status as a pop name not to be slept on.

Returning to host this new edition of Melbourne’s ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE is music journalist and champion industry all rounder, Tait McGregor. McGregor, who has hosted numerous ONES TO WATCH events throughout this year, has had extensive experience in various levels of music industry capacities; as a host and journalist, she has worked across titles and brands including Rolling Stone Australia and the ARIA Awards, while also championing the next wave of brilliant Australian talent through her own endeavours.

With two exciting emerging Australian artists to be announced, Melbourne’s next ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE event is an unmissable mark on the springtime calendar.

‘We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting yet another Live Nation OTW showcase in the vibrant city of Melbourne. Which is without a doubt, one of the live music capitals of the world. We have carefully selected three exceptionally talented artists to grace the stage, these acts have captured our attention for quite some time, and we excited that they will now be a part of the OTW platform.’ PAUL LYNCH

2023 has been an incredibly fruitful year for the team at Live Nation Australia and ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE. Its successful series of events have seen the likes of bella amor, Keenan Te, Lola Scott, Mitch Santiago, BOY SODA, STUMPS, Sam McGovern and PANIA amongst the talented names to perform. 

Artists who have already charted their own impressive journeys in music, being able to see them thrive even further on the ONES TO WATCH Backed by VODAFONE stage around the country, and then further amplified across global ONES TO WATCH platforms, has certified that Australia has some of the best musicians currently to do it.

Since its establishment in North America, the ONES TO WATCH series has been able to support and promote artists such as Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Halsey early in their careers.

Kaskade Begins REDUX 006 EP Rollout with Mesmerizing Deep House Single “Save Me” with Lauren L’aimant. Out Now on Arkade

by the partae October 14, 2023
written by the partae

Artist: Kaskade, Lauren L’aimant
Title: Save Me
Label: Arkade

Kaskade returns with his new single “Save Me” with Lauren L’aimant from the upcoming REDUX 006 EP, the first from the dance music icon in over 2 years (REDUX 005 EP was released in 2021). With its euphonious melodies and ethereal vocals, the new track is a perfect representation of Kaskade‘s REDUX style, which has been beloved by many fans since its inception 10 years ago in 2013 thanks to its deep and euphonious melodies and minimalistic sonic aesthetic. “Save Me” rides on hypnotizing refrains, tribal-influenced instrumentals, and a rolling bassline for Kaskade‘s signature production creativity and Lauren‘s velvety voice, making for an exciting first debut of the 7-track EP. It’s the type of song that pairs potent emotion with dancefloor grooviness, guaranteed to deliver on intimate dancefloors, the radio, and beyond. Kaskade has paired the track and EP with a few REDUX-inspired dates, including a recent sold-out show in Irvine, CA at 9,5K capacity FivePoint Amphitheatre, and upcoming ones in Brooklyn, Chicago, and Miami, which are also sold out. Be on the lookout for the REDUX 006 EP dropping in full on Oct 27.

As a household name in electronic music for nearly two decades, Kaskade needs no introduction. His list of achievements is a mile long: 12 studio albums, 7 GRAMMY nominations, the first solo electronic dance artist to sell out both Navy Pier in Chicago and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the first DJ to ever secure a Las Vegas residency, and the first electronic artist to headline Coachella. Having worked on collaborations with, e.g., Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, and Meghan Trainor, he has the unique talent of creating his signature sound in any genre. Additionally, he has been one of the electronic artists leading the charge into the gaming world and, to date, is the only musician to conceptualize and create an entire season of music for video game giant Rocket League. In 2021, Kaskade came out of quarantine swinging as the first-ever solo headlining musician to sell out and perform for a public event at LA’s SoFi Stadium. Most recently, in 2022, he teamed up with deadmau5 to form Kx5. Kaskade‘s influence on dance music has shaped the culture for generations of listeners, continuing to wow longtime and new fans alike with every new release.

Kaskade‘s remaining REDUX-inspired forthcoming shows:

Oct 20 – Avant Gardner – Brooklyn, NY
Nov 17 – Cermak Hall – Chicago, IL
Dec 01 – Club Space – Miami, FL

LAURA MISCH reveals stunning debut album SAMPLE THE SKY

by the partae October 13, 2023
written by the partae

Photo Credit: Ella Pavlides

The music of Laura Misch does not waste time in inviting the listener into a unique and welcoming soundscape. For the London-based artist, producer and songwriter, music in all its forms is an avenue for escape; a promise that the possibilities can be endless once one has stepped over the threshold from their current day-to-day, and into her world of alt-pop, jazz-infused folk music.

 

Here, we see a kaleidoscope of ideas and sonic references blend together with precision and beauty on Misch’s long-awaited debut album, Sample The Sky. Out now through One Little Independent Records, the ten-track collection of music paints an engaging and gorgeous portrait of an inquisitive and open mind. 

 

It establishes Laura Misch as more than one to watch, but one who is here to stay.

Working alongside collaborator and producer William Arcane on this project, Misch was able to flex an interest in electronic music that has become beautifully mixed into her already established talents and grasp on jazz and contemporary music. The title itself represents her journey so far; from studying biomedical sciences, through to developing her artistry as a career musician.

 

“I’ve always found parallels between biomed and music, a microphone is a microscope of sound, and a studio is laboratory of distillation, producing feels like you’re discovering, it feels akin to uncovering in science, Sample The Sky felt like a meeting between these two worlds, to study a ‘sample’ is to gather and look deeply, whilst the ‘sky’ symbolises our interconnectedness to nature”.

LAURA MISCH

 

The otherworldliness of Sample The Sky can be felt in the gorgeous synth and electronic patterns that balance the saxophone and strings. Songs like ‘Sax Rise’ and previous single ‘Hide To Seek’ represent this beautifully, as Misch’s experimentation led her to creating the body of work with an open mind and soulful approach to each new pathway.

 

‘Wild Swim’ and album closer ‘Birdseye’ evoke the vocal weight and dreaminess of Portishead and My Bloody Valentine, while the subtleties of songs like ‘Portals’ and ‘Outer Edges’ all highlight Misch’s understanding of sonic textures and their relationship to the lyrical emotional core perfectly.

 

Laura Misch’s upward trajectory in recent years has seen her emerge as one of the U.K.’s brightest new names. Performances on renowned stages and at events including SXSW, Royal Albert Hall, Berghain and Eurosonic speak to her versatility and sphere of influence. And then there’s the widespread support of her music from global media and radio including BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Wonderland Magazine, The Guardian, NME and Clash Magazine – Laura Misch has wasted no time in establishing a legacy for her name, all on her own.

 

PRAISE FOR LAURA MISCH

 

“Laura Misch brings such sentimentality to her music and imbues it with modern electronic flourishes”

PopMatters 

 

“Absolutely gorgeous – all pensive rhythms and intelligently layered vocals”

Clash Magazine

SAMPLE THE SKY is out now

Gavin Bowles & The Distractions Interview

by the partae October 13, 2023
written by the partae
Where are you currently based? Sydney.
 
How did the band form? I recorded a solo album in 2020 and got my brother Simon (drums) and my mate Cameron (bass) to play on it and we did a few shows as a 4 piece with our friend Wesley on keys. Wesley is a very talented and busy musician and wanted to focus on his own projects (his band is called Sun Affair – check it out!), so we needed a new person to join the group. Michael (guitar) and I have been good friends for a few years and he had gotten to know Simon and Cameron too – we all agreed he was the perfect fit for the band – and he definitely brought some swagger to the band for sure – and here we are!
 
What’s been happening recently? We’ve just released our debut album “Phoning It In”! It’s been a pretty busy year in the lead up recording, playing shows, releasing singles and some film clips too!
 
What or who influenced the sound and songwriting for your latest album? I had been listening to alot of 70’s/80’s Power Pop (Blondie, Buzzcocks, The Jam) at the time of writing these songs and those influences definitely made their way into the album.
 
How did you go about writing the album? I wrote alot of it during the 2021 lockdown in Sydney. I wanted to make some upbeat music to shrug off the frustrating situation we were all in. I sent solo demo’s to the band and then as soon as we could be together, we started to work out all of their parts. Then we played a few of the songs live before we recorded them, which I find is always a good test and helps to tighten the arrangements.
 
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with? It was self produced at a few different locations (mainly our homes) from December 2022 to mid 2023 and was mastered by Steve Smart at Studios 301 Sydney.
 
What does this album mean to you? I wrote most of these songs at a challenging time in my life both professionally and personally. These songs really got me through a tough time – so I guess I see it as a testament to resilience. But despite all the hardships, we made a really fun record and enjoyed the process.
 
Please tell us about your upcoming tour and what we can expect? The “Phoning It In” Tour kicks off with our hometown Album Launch in Sydney at The Vanguard on October 27. From there we’re heading up and down the coast to Newcastle, Wagga Wagga, Melbourne, Bonny Hills, Brisbane, Bathurst and Katoomba (Blue Mountains). Our show is energentic and fun – we put everything into our shows and we love to share the good vibes with everyone – get your dancing shoes ready!
 
What’s planned for the remainder of 2023 going into 2024? The Tour will finish up at the end of November and then we’ll take a well-earned break for a bit. We have some things in the pipeline for 2024 – so watch this space!
 
Who are you listening to at the moment? I’ve been enjoying the latest Queens of the Stone Age and Blur albums. Bethany Cosentino’s debut album is great too! And I’m a big fan of The Replacements, who just did a reissue of their album “Tim” – one of my favourite albums!
 
Favourite food and place to hangout? At the moment it’s probably a good slice of Pepperoni Pizza. I just like to hang out with friends wherever and whenever I can – probably at a pub!

Sydney Power Pop quartet Gavin Bowles & The Distractions unleash debut album “Phoning It In”

by the partae October 12, 2023
written by the partae
Gavin Bowles & The Distractions make a noise as bristling and as impeccably sharp as their facial hair, impressive and wild as hell. As keen as a blade to the throat, it’s madly danceable too, a pair of dancing shoes with razor blades in the toecap. – The Underground Stage

Zesty power-pop that bursts with a fun, rambunctious energy that takes hold of your senses from the first note. – Scenstr

Sydney Power Pop quartet Gavin Bowles & The Distractions hit the ground running in 2023; after  releasing a series of catchy singles (“On The Telephone (I Used to Call You)”, “Break My Heart” and “Here Comes The Heartache”) and blazing through a stellar run of headline shows, the band has now released their debut album “Phoning It In”.

Bowles has made a name for himself recording and touring Aus in various outfits over the years, before dabbling in solo territory and eventually enlisting The Distractions (Michael Crudgington – guitar, Cameron Hill – bass, Simon Bowles – drums). Stylistically Bowles’ influences range from Rockabilly to Indie Rock and Punk Rock, but it’s with this set of new songs that he’s tapped into his unabashed love of 70’s and 80’s Power Pop.

“Phoning It In” is a sharp, no-holds-barred album of zippy pop-rock songs dealing with heartbreak, boredom, anxiety and nostalgia. The album is sonically driven by The Distractions incredibly tight and nuanced performances; flourishes of bright guitars, hop-along bass lines and watertight drum grooves paint an adoring landscape for Bowles heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Lead single “On The Telephone (I Used to Call You)” is a nostalgia-dipped fever dream of teenage infatuation over the landline. Whereas the second and third singles “Break My Heart” and “Here Comes The Heartache”; reveal a more candid and vulnerable side, dealing with lost love and the anxieties of leaving a life behind.

Bowles & The Distractions have quickly gained a reputation for their energetic and refined live shows in the lead up to their debut album. “Phoning It In” is a blistering troupe of catchy and earnest pop-rock songs that combine their Power Pop influences with Indie Rock sensibilities and showcase The Distractions talents along with Bowles charm, wit, sincerity and humour.

Tour dates:
Fri 27 Oct – The Vanguard (Sydney)
Sat 28 Oct – The Ori (Newcastle)
Fri 3 Nov – Jungle Duke Hotel (Wagga Wagga)
Sat 4 Nov – Whole Lotta Love (Melbourne)
Sat 11 Nov – Beach Hotel (Bonny Hills)
Sun 12 Nov – The Bearded Lady (Brisbane)
Fri 24 Nov – Reckless Brewery (Bathurst)
Sat 25 Nov – Station Bar (Blue Mountains)

Folk-Emo singer/songwriter ALI REYIS returns with passionate new single ‘GLENFIELD 308 SEMI AUTOMATIC’

by the partae October 12, 2023
written by the partae

Photo: Ian Summers 

After cutting his teeth in the Eora/Sydney punk scene under the moniker Hawkeye Reis, Ali Reyis has reemerged over the last few years with some of the most heartfelt, passionate and intricately written emo/pop-punk you’ll hear in 2023. ‘Glenfield 308 Semi Automatic’ is the latest cut, and is the third single from Ali this year.

Taking sonic notes from the likes of Dashboard Confessional, City and Color and John Floreani, Ali fuses elements of folk, country and blues into his own brand of emo – with some ridiculously catchy melodies, perfectly stacked harmonies and an infectious, hard hitting vocal delivery that elevates every lyric. Life balance is a struggle many musicians find themselves in; having to work tirelessly through the day at a job or study for a degree, and then spending whatever hours are left in the day playing gigs, preparing songs or working on releases. This is a feeling Ali Reyis knew all too well – and was the initial inspiration behind ‘Glenfield 308 Semi Automatic’. 

“This song was written sitting at Glenfield Train Station, in Western Sydney. I was on my way back from an Open Mic Night in the city to my university dorm in Campbelltown at the University of Western Sydney. It was freezing cold, almost midnight, and I had a lecture at 8am the next morning, totally defeated and dog tired. I had spread myself too thin, trying to finish uni as well as release and record songs, bumbling my way through both and not really committing to either. And then as the clock went to 00.00, I suddenly started laughing and smiling to myself, as I felt this huge rush of euphoria. I had a sense of conquest, of accomplishment, that regardless of the outcome, I was really pushing myself to go chase my dream of playing music.”
ALI REYIS 

Artwork by Ian Summers

As Hawkeye Reyis, Ali released 4 albums through 21 Studios in Brisbane, performing with the likes of A Swift Farewell, Grenade Jumper, Capitol Affair, Tim Fitz (Middle Kids), Gertie May, and receiving regular airplay from Fbi Radio and 2SER.

As Ali strived to reach the  next stage of his career, he found he was losing momentum so he headed over to Austin, Texas to try his hand in a different scene. During his time in Texas, Reyis built a relationship with the band Ritual Club (TX), an established Emo band themselves. Ritual Club were featured as the band behind Reis on the recording of ‘Glenfield 308 Semi Automatic’, along with some additional help from Jordan Brown As Self, another notable member of the Texas scene. The track was Mixed and Mastered at Overcast Recordings in Texas by Kieran Krebs (Virtue (US), Gold Steps (US), Finding September (US)) and features top notch production that perfectly accentuates the intricate guitar and vocal parts found throughout the track. 

PLAY/LISTEN

To celebrate the release of ‘Glenfield 308 Semi Automatic’, Ali Reyis will be performing at Whole Lotta Love in Melbourne on the 30th of September, with Gertie May lining up for support. 

TOUR DATES

Saturday September 30th – Whole Lotta Love Naarm/Melbourne, VIC  w/ Gertie May

PRAISE

“Ali Reyis’ Glenfield 308 Semi Automatic is not just a song; it’s a musical testament to the unwavering pursuit of one’s dreams, a journey that resonates with anyone who has ever dared to chase their passions.“

AAA BACKSTAGE

“Combining traditional blues one-man-one-guitar intimacy with the intensity of pop-punk lyrics, Hawkeye Reis is no stranger to the collision of two worlds.”

ARMCHAIR RIOT take things up a notch on their new single HYDRO

Bunbury alternative rock group Armchair Riot have returned with refreshed energy, delivering a great hit of new music in ‘Hydro’.

 After developing a strong band dynamic in 2019, Armchair Riot have continued to make music driven by passion for the sounds that built great musical foundations for bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana. With the release of ‘Hydro’, Armchair Riot poured these influences into a melting pot of new sounds that will easily impress fans of bands like Silversun Pickups, Cold War Kids and Broken Bells.

The release of ‘Hydro’ follows on from Armchair Riot’s 2022 track ‘Mad Dogs In The Midday Sun’, as well as ‘Crush’ and ‘Submission’ – music that peppered 2021, further establishing Armchair Riot as a band to watch. The progression of Armchair Riot since their initial jam sessions together in 2019 has already seen more than an album’s worth of material recorded.

“The song is a hard one to describe. Some parts come from an old structure that I discarded and kept the rhythm and chord progression. I rewrote the lyrics and melody so they felt relevant. I was coming from a relationship that was ending and ending badly and painfully and the song grew from a snapshot of a moment. I try to keep the lyrics as ambiguous as I can, but most of this song is open enough.”

Glenn Breslin, Armchair Riot 

 As they navigated their way through the creative process, the vision for the type of music Armchair Riot wanted to produce became clearer. Initial recordings were shelved in order to chase the inspirations driving a more cohesive and layered sound – the first hint of which came with the release of ‘Submission’ in 2021. The track was recorded at Guitarist Jason Rechichi’s house, and mixed and mastered by Dr Alien Smith at Bergerk Studios (Amyl and The Sniffers, Coniglia, Nerve Quakes).

“The process can be glacially slow and other times so fast. This song was a quick one to learn and come up with everyone’s parts. Ian found his bass line and Paul with the driving beat. No click track was used so we could go with a feel. Jason got the song recorded and sat with it for a few days before he came up with his guitar parts. It was originally all Glenn on guitars and it sounded complete. So coming up with another part that complimented the melody and stayed true to the aesthetic mood of the song was super important. And I think he managed it”

GLENN BRESLIN, ARMCHAIR RIOT

Hydro is released alongside a music video, directed by frontman Glenn Breslin’s partner Armelle. The beautifully shot video perfectly captures the themes of the song, as we follow Glenn running from his problems rather than facing them head on.

“It was a freezing cold day, and Armelle was shooting it and was heavily pregnant with twins. We were using our drummer Paul’s car, a beautiful old Ford LTD, the rain was coming down and we had cameras everywhere. The video mainly focuses on Glenn so the band had cameras too and were helping Armelle in whatever capacity they could – she used a drone for some beautiful shots. The video was about drowning the past or finding it easier to leave rather than face pain. The closing shot has four birds circle Glenn while he lay in the freezing water – That wasn’t staged. It was awesome. Very serendipitous.”

ARMCHAIR RIOT

And now as the band anticipates a busy tail end of 2023 heading into summer, Armchair Riot is ready to let ‘Hydro’ lead the charge into an exciting new chapter. 

TOUR DATES

Saturday, September 23 – Convenients, Northbridge Perth, WA, w/ Castle Bravo, Laurie Luke and The Grots. 

Friday, September 29th Single Launch – The Prince Of Wales, Bunbury WA w/ The Boogie Men, Drowse   

 Wednesday, October 11 – Mojo’s, Perth WA w/ Tailored Green and Juni. 

Monday, October 16 – The Bird, Northbridge, Perth WA

Saturday, November 25th – Nannup Hotel Perth, WA w/ Innasanitorium, Decapitated Chooks, The Compound

PRAISE 

“What separates Armchair Riot from the pack, is not only their songs and unnerving sound, it’s that these guys throughout their long musical journey have mixed it with the best, and are now in a league of their own“

Peter Murphy 

“Armchair Riot’s new single, Hydro, is a testament to the band’s ability to channel personal experiences into a universal, emotionally charged musical journey that invites listeners to reflect on the intricacies of love and relationships.”

AFROJACK, TIMMY TRUMPET, MORTEN, SUB ZERO PROJECT and more lead debut Australian edition of global EDM festival DON’T LET DADDY KNOW.

by the partae October 11, 2023
written by the partae

From its birthplace in the electric Ibiza, DON’T LET DADDY KNOW has grown into one of the biggest dance music festivals globally, attracting some of the world’s most exciting names in EDM to its stages. And in Summer 2024, DLDK is bringing the action to Australia for the very first time, locked and loaded to take place across the East Coast in January. 

Pre-sales commence Wednesday 11 October, before tickets go on sale to the general public at 12pm, Tuesday 17 October from Ticketek Australia.

The summer vibes will be at an all-time high this coming January, with DLDK’s arrival set to elevate Australia’s incredible festival season to new heights. The debut Australian run through Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane will be a gamechanger in Australia’s EDM scene – living up to the epic legacy of its international counterparts for a one-of-a-kind festival experience this summer. 

The explosive artist bill will be led by one of the most innovative and sought-after artists, Grammy Award-winning producer and DJ, AFROJACK. Since making his breakthrough with the multi-platinum-selling single ‘Take Over Control’, the Dutch-born musician has lent his production skills to tracks that bend genres and lay the foundation for major hits for artists such as Beyoncé, Pitbull, Will.i.am and more.

Joining AFROJACK on the debut DLDK tour of Australia is evergreen festival favourite Timmy Trumpet who’s taken over international stages with his high-octane sets. An award-winning, multi-platinum selling recording artist, Timmy has forged his way to the very top, with a discography that exceeds 2.5 billion+ streams.

Danish DJ MORTEN has also joined the line-up – renowned for coining the ‘future rave’ genre with close friend and collaborator David Guetta. MORTEN has graced the stages of some of the most prolific festivals in the world, and even took up residency with Guetta in Ibiza in 2022.

Making their return to Australia for DLDK, are Dutch hardstyle duo Sub Zero Project, who have established themselves as a must-see act for EDM fans with their combination of crazy high-quality productions and a unique signature sound. 

DLDK are also excited to be expanding the line-up with some incredible local talent, including RESTRICTED, Dimatik and Bobby Neon.

RESTRICTED is one of Australia’s quickest rising names, who is rapidly gaining support from

some of the industry’s biggest tastemakers and music labels. This 22 year older DJ/Producer

has carved his signature style with influences from UK Bassline, Techno, and Hard Dance, amassing over 50 million streams in 2022 alone.

Dimatik is a complete package – from heavy hitting music that teeters the line between hardstyle and psy trance, to his haunting and head-banging live shows. His stylistic approach to music has caught the attention from crowds across the globe and it’s no surprise that he’s been supported by the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Hardwell, KSHMR, David Guetta, & more.

Paving the way in the electronic music industry, Bobby Neon has pioneered with his masterful productions and memorable performances. From holding residencies at some of Australia’s biggest club nights, to touring around Australia making guest performances, there is no doubt his music has made a huge impact within the EDM community.

In only ten years, DLDK has transformed into a global movement – with events expanding into over twenty countries including the UK, Thailand and Singapore.

The festival brand has set themselves apart as being one of the most dedicated EDM platforms – DLDK is about more than just a fun day out, it’s about consistently promoting cutting-edge talent and keeping its finger on the pulse when it comes to pinpointing the next wave of superstars.

Putting the emphasis on elevating prime Australian EDM talent alongside global heavy hitters, DLDK is set to offer Australian fans the best of EDM talent this January.

TEG GROUP CEO GEOFF JONES said “TEG is thrilled to be bringing one of the world’s premier EDM festivals to Australian shores. Renowned for featuring some of the biggest and most influential artists in EDM, along with some very impressive production, Australian electronic music fans should definitely mark these dates in their calendar as it’s sure to be the event of the Australian summer!”

Presented by TEG Live in Australia, DLDK is set to redefine the live EDM landscape in Australia, setting a new standard for festivals and festival goers in 2024. With more information still to come, fans are urged to jump on tickets once they go on sale – they will not hang around!

BEYOND THE VALLEY ADDS 10 ADDITIONAL ARTISTS TO LINEUP AND REVEALS COUNTDOWN ARTIST

by the partae October 9, 2023
written by the partae

Beyond The Valley has just expanded its lineup with the addition of 10 new acts, including FERG (fka A$AP FERG), Flight Facilities (performing a Decade DJ Set), PARIS, Airwolf Paradise playing a b2b with Torren Foot, Tseba, C.FRIM, Sasha Fern and Jennifer Loveless.

After much anticipation, they’ve also revealed this year’s countdown artist, with Peggy Gou confirmed to ring in the new year on the Valley Stage.

Due to personal reasons, unfortunately Kelis has cancelled her full global tour and will no longer be performing.

FERG, an original member of Harlem’s A$AP Mob, will make his presence felt at Beyond The Valley. Initially acclaimed for his unique role as the fashion visionary of the group, FERG has since risen to prominence as one of the world’s most inventive hip-hop artists.

Australian icons Flight Facilities have been included in the lineup as well, known for their timeless classics and highly sought-after ID tracks. They’re returning to Beyond The Valley to showcase their Decades Show, following a successful Australian tour that saw sold-out shows.

The daily lineup has also been unveiled with the festivities kicking off on the 28th December with Airwolf Paradise and Torren Foot teaming up for a b2b set in the Dance Dome, alongside PARIS, C.FRIM, Tseba, Sasha Fern and Jennifer Loveless.

Performing on the 29th December will be RÜFÜS DU SOL, Mall Grab, The Jungle Giants, Rebūke, Jayda G and more. On the 30th, you can expect performances by Central Cee, FERG, DMA’S, Ewan McVicar, Channel Tres, Romy, and many others.

As for New Year’s Eve, the lineup boasts Peggy Gou, Overmono, STÜM, KETTAMA, DJ Heartstring, Willaris. K, BIG WETT and more to help ring in the new year in style.

Presented by Untitled Group and supported by triple j, Beyond the Valley has cemented itself as Australia’s largest multi-day music festival, having sold out of their general camping ticket allocation in under a week.

If people would like to camp there’s a very limited amount of Pre-Pitched tent packages still available. For those who would prefer to stay off site they can purchase festival only tickets. Positioned just a short 40-minute drive away from the Surf Coast, encompassing Torquay, Anglesea, Jan Juc and more, and a mere 30-minute distance from Geelong, the Beyond The Valley site holds appeal for attendees keen on transforming the occasion into a vacation.

Untitled Group are the largest independently owned music and events company in Australia, are also responsible for festivals such as Pitch Music & Arts, Wildlands, Grapevine Gathering, Ability Fest and more.

Head to www.beyondthevalley.com.au for remaining ticketing options.

“STATEMENT FROM KELIS:

“As many of you will know, it’s been a tough couple of years, but I’ve been out there working hard on the road and at home on the farm, all whilst providing stability and nurturing my children. I’m afraid to say it but I need to come off the road for a little while to regroup, to be the best mother, to be the best for myself and to thrive in the future. With that in mind I’m having to cancel or postpone all live touring for the foreseeable future. I was excited to be coming back to Australia and New Zealand and seeing you all again. I will be back; I’m making a new record and ill be back better than ever but for now it’s a needed pause. Thanks for understanding and your support all these years.

Kelis”

Diamond-Certified 21-Year-Old Artist LUM!X Releases Nostalgic Feel-Good Dance-Pop Single “Kids Like Us” In Collaboration with LUCiD & FRiENDS. Out Now on Spinnin’ Records

by the partae October 8, 2023
written by the partae

Artist: LUM!X
Title: Kids Like Us (feat. LUCiD & FRiENDS)
Label: Spinnin’ Records

Download / Stream

Austrian–Italian electronic protege LUM!X returns with his newest release – “Kids Like Us,” a unique and uplifting dance-pop smash that conveys the youthful energy of its namesake. Pairing cinematic and euphonious melodies with a dynamic, uplifting progressive house drop, LUM!X makes a true statement by incorporating an attention-grabbing and singalong chorus featuring children’s voices. The combination of joyous and nostalgic elements creates a truly special sonic experience that will transport the listener to the favorite childhood memories and partially encourage you to embrace the present moment with the same type of wonderment. LUM!X has been on a hot streak the last few years, achieving an incredible milestone of 2 billion streams across all platforms, as well as 2 diamond, 22 platinum and 9 gold certifications under his belt. LUCiD & FRiENDS is the pseudonym for a newly formed songwriting collective, whose members have been working with the likes of Karol G, Camila Cabello, Iggy Azalea, MNEK, Cheat Codes, Selena Gomez, Marshmello, Kendrick Lamar, Maroon 5, and more.

“‘Kids Like Us‘ is a song that has a very special place in my heart. As I crafted the beats and melodies, I felt the music come alive, a vibrant tapestry of sound that beckoned you to feel like a kid again. The title came from a place deep within my heart, a longing for the innocence of youth when the world was a playground, and worries were but fleeting whispers. Like a technicolor dream, the song paints vivid images of laughter, sun-drenched afternoons, and endless possibilities. Each note was a brushstroke, every lyric a stroke of nostalgia’s brush. It was a melody that transported you back in time while keeping one foot firmly in the now, a balancing act of emotion and innovation. What started out as a very uncommon and difficult topline ended up being one the most emotional songs I’ve ever worked on. The big vocal hook, together with the pop-ish verses, is something very different from what I usually produce, but for me, that’s the magic about this record” – LUM!X

At just 21 years old, Austrian–Italian musician LUM!X, real name Luca Michlmayr, is quickly becoming one of the hottest names in the global electronic music scene. To date, LUM!X‘s songs have been streamed well over 2 billion times, leading him to over 30 diamond, platinum and gold certifications. With a signature style that’s as smooth as it is hard and refreshing as it is versatile, LUM!X represents the next step in the evolution of the modern DJ, bringing with him a sound that’s not only primed for the radio and the club, but geared for the viral airwaves as well. He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry already, including Gabry Ponte, DVBBS, KSHMR, and remixed the likes of Robin Schulz, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Alan Walker, and R3HAB to name only a few. In 2022, he became one of the first DJs to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, representing Austria in the competition. In 2023, he also won two prizes at the Amadeus Awards of Austria for Song Of The Year and Best Dance Act with his song “Halo,” featuring Pia Maria.

PLS&TY Releases Dynamic Tech House Single “Listen to My Heart” and Lays the Ground for Future Announcements

by the partae October 8, 2023
written by the partae

Artist: PLS&TY
Title: Listen To My Heart
Label: Self-release

PLS&TY is back with a dose of new music in the form of his single “Listen to My Heart,” which also lays the ground for future announcements that the Florida native has up his sleeve. The track fits right in with his dynamic signature style, opening with piano instrumentals that meld into funky melodies, progressive synths, and a driving tech-house-influenced bassline. Its catchy vocals give “Listen to My Heart” a disco influence, making the track one that is guaranteed to light up club dance floors around the globe. The new single follows his recently released “Your Love” with Kenyan singer Sofiya Nzau, and “3 Days, 2 Nights” EP earlier this year.

“‘Listen to My Heart‘ is a tech-house-focused single, fusing hard-hitting basslines and piano melodies with soulful vocals. It’s a song straight for club play, and a highlight within my live shows. DJs, check your inboxes.” – PLS&TY

Tommy Leas, a Florida native – better known as PLS&TY – is burgeoning into the electronic dance music scene with his unique sound: languid bass, captivating vocals and enough upbeat melodies to make anybody feel good. His music has amassed hundreds of millions streams across platforms… that’s if you don’t include a feature in a Hershey’s chocolate television commercial that has now reached over 1 BILLION views. PLS&TY‘s singles have charted on Billboard, have consecutively reached #1 on iTunes four times, & have been remixed by Grammy-nominated Morgan Page, Rusko, Cazzette, Bondax, and YehMe2 (1/2 of Flosstradamus latest venture). Tommy has also toured a bevy of A-list festivals including Shaky Beats, Breakaway, Electric Forest, EDC Vegas, and more. After releasing his debut “Very Special” EP, which featured platinum-selling artists like Sean Kingston, Alex Aiono (of Netflix‘s “Finding Ohana“), Wifisfuneral, and more, 2020-2022 saw PLS&TY become an early adopter of the emerging NFT technology. PLS&TY has co-designed skateboard deck NFTs for Tony Hawk‘s charity initiative, as well as visuals for celebrity athletes and even members of Congress. PLS&TY‘s NFT projects were referenced in Billboard at the #3 and #10 positions of Top Music NFT Sales in August & September of 2022 alongside Snoop Dogg, Eminem, & David Bowie. 2023 sees PLS&TY emerging with new music & artistic endeavors, all while wielding the lighthearted “mind your manners” and “please and thank you” catchphrases.
