“Even with the re-emergence of nü metal sweeping through our nation, Druid have always marked themselves as somewhat of an anomaly.”
(Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed)
Australian metalcore powerhouse, Druid, continues to make waves in the heavy music scene with their latest single, ‘HANG IN THERE (IT GETS WORSE)’, which they are now pairing with a chilling and haunting music video. The track, released on May 12th, delves into the depths of mental health issues and the inner struggles that accompany them, showcasing Druid’s unyielding style and raw intensity.
Now, Druid unveils the haunting and suffocating music video for ‘HANG IN THERE (IT GETS WORSE)’. Produced by Crow Rivers Visuals, the video perfectly captures the essence of the track’s dark themes as the band performs amidst an ominous warehouse backdrop. The visuals intensify the emotional impact of the song, immersing viewers in a chilling atmosphere that echoes the struggles depicted in the lyrics.
With their powerful and honest lyrics, volatile vocals, and explosive energy, ‘HANG IN THERE (IT GETS WORSE)’ serves as a reflection of co-lead vocalist Jordan Williams’ personal experiences with depression and mental health challenges. Williams’ hostile vocal delivery, paired with brutally honest lyrics, authentically convey the weight and pressure that come with such struggles. The song carries a purging, fiery feel that resonates with listeners on a visceral level.
The intense and cathartic composition of ‘HANG IN THERE (IT GETS WORSE)’ is further accentuated by lacerating riffs and unrelenting breakdowns, creating an unyielding sonic experience. The chorus, referencing Bring Me The Horizon’s 2008 album ‘Suicide Season,’ not only pays homage to an influential band but also alludes to Williams’ enduring battle with mental health, which has been a part of his life from a young age.
Having solidified their position in the Australian heavy scene since the release of their debut EP in 2019 and subsequent string of powerful singles, Druid has shared stages with renowned acts including Void Of Vision, Alpha Wolf, The Beautiful Monument, Suspryia,
Druid’s previous releases have garnered significant support from esteemed platforms such as Triple J (The Racket), Triple M’s Hard and Heavy, Hysteria, and Maniacs. The band’s presence on Spotify’s Homegrown and Heavy Playlist has also contributed to their well-deserved recognition. Notably, their single ‘DTHBLW‘ premiered via Knotfest, leading to an invitation to perform at Knotfest’s Pulse of the Maggots streaming festival, headlined by Hero The Hero.
The single is available now, and the accompanying music video can be viewed on the band’s official platforms.

Title: Crew Thang
Label: Ultra Records/Sony Music
Canadian brothers DVBBS teams up with Grammy-nominated R&B artist Jeremih and singer-songwriter SK8 for “Crew Thang,” a genre-bending collaboration. The track’s unique style rides on dynamic melodies and groovy house basslines, all wrapped up with upbeat but velveteen vocals for a perfect balance of sexy and fun. This combination makes for the perfect anthem, launching this year’s summer season, making unforgettable memories, and doing your own crew thang on or off the dance floor. It follows DVBBS‘s “Synergy” with Timmy Trumpet from last month, “Next To You” with Loud Luxury and Kane Brown from February, and the cheeky “SH SH SH (Hit That)” with Wiz Khalifa, Urfavxboyfriend and Goldsoul from the same month, also on Ultra Records. Jeremih recently released “Chose You” with French Montana, and earlier his solo single “Changes” on Def Jam/Universal Music Group. Be on the lookout for an official music video for “Crew Thang,” coming out very soon.
“Summer starts now… Big love to Jeremih for lending us his incredibly talented voice and our bro SK8 for making this come to life. ‘Crew Thang‘ is for you and your crew to turn up. 2023 vibes.” – DVBBS
“Following a huge single off my last project featuring DVBBS and Wiz Khalifa, I’m stoked to create something special with DVBBS again, and this time with Jeremih – an artist I’ve looked up to for a minute. ‘Crew Thang‘ is a blend of uptempo house mixed with pop melodies that make you feel good and wanna dance. This is another super proud moment in my career. Looking forward to touring and performing this song all summer.” – SK8
DVBBS
Only a few producers have risen to the top in the electronic music scene as quickly as DVBBS, who captured the industry’s attention with hits like “Tsunami” and “Not Going Home” and never let it go. The Canadian brothers Alex and Christopher have been continuously cultivating their sound since their debut in 2012 and have racked up an impressive display of collaborations with renowned names from diverse musical backgrounds, such as blackbear, 24kGoldn, Jasmine Thompson, Belly, NERVO, Juicy J, Galantis, Cody Simpson, Aloe Blacc, Icona Pop, GASHI, and more. DVBBS continue to prove there’s nothing they can’t accomplish. Their hits, such as “La La Land,” “Gold Skies,” and the breakthrough “Angel” are staples in every dance music fan’s library. Prior to the global pandemic, DVBBS performed a staggering 250 dates per year at some of the world’s hottest music festivals and top-tier clubs, including Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, Hakkasan Las Vegas or Ibiza‘s Amnesia, and Ushuaia. Throughout their career, DVBBS has proved they are relentlessly dedicated to expanding their global footprint and bringing cutting-edge new music to their listeners.
Jeremih
He quickly rose to fame in 2009 with his Top 10 debut single “Birthday Sex,” a lewd lullaby of sorts that sounded like nothing else at the time, optimizing the R&B artist’s slinking vocals and explicit wordplay. The slow jam effectively launched the Chicago native’s career, one that has been studded with additional and quite different Top 10 hits – “Down on Me” and “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” among several more gold and platinum singles. “Jeremih” (2009), “All About You” (2010), and “Late Nights: The Album” (2015), his first three LPs were similarly awarded, while “Planez” earned Jeremih a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance. “Late Nights with Jeremih” and “Late Nights: The Album” became the first two parts of a trilogy with the August 2016 release of the commercial mixtape “Late Nights: Europe.” The collection was highlighted by “London,” featuring Stefflon Don and Krept & Konan, and “Paris (Who Taught You),” assisted by Ty Dolla $ign. Jeremih and fellow Chicagoan Chance The Rapper closed out 2016 with the collaborative holiday mixtape “Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama.” During 2017 and 2018, Jeremih released a handful of singles, and in the latter, more productive year, the singer bundled four new solo cuts as “The Chocolate Box,” and teamed up again with Ty Dolla $ign to issue the full-length project “Mih-Ty.” Jointly issued by Def Jam and Ty‘s home label, Atlantic Records, “Mih-Ty” placed at number 60 on the Billboard 200. Its single “The Light” went gold. Jeremih issued some more singles in 2020, but during that year through 2022, he was much more active in featured artist and co-headliner roles, appearing on Afrojack and Chico Rose‘s “Cloud 9,” Kito and ZHU‘s “Follow,” and Benny Benassi‘s “Lovelife,” among many other tracks.
SK8
At 15, you could find SK8 in his room writing lyrics, and by his sophomore year, you could find him handing out CDs in high school. The 23-year-old moved to Los Angeles from Omaha, Nebraska, and linked with the venerable Taylor Gang, first breaking into the mainstream with his gold-certified single, “Like That,” with Jack & Jack and opening for revered rap icons like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Rae Sremmurd. SK8 began building a dedicated fanbase of dreamers who related to his message of seizing every moment long before his eventual move to LA. Shortly after founding his own imprint – Alignment, and formally signing a joint venture with Atlantic Records via James McMillan‘s ART@WAR, SK8 released his major label debut EP, sk8sounds, which was buttressed by the standout singles “Omme (feat. Wiz Khalifa),” “XXX” and “Mood (feat. YK Osiris).” Over a year later, SK8 has turned a new page in his career with his first single of 2021, “Famous (feat. Tyla Yaweh),” and its associated forthcoming project, which finds the rising singer seamlessly blending punk/rock instrumentation with his hip-hop origins, the latest but not last development in SK8‘s rapidly evolving artistry.
Title: Cold Like Snow
Label: Barong Family
Yellow Claw returns with K-pop singer Sorn on their new vocal bass track “Cold Like Snow,” out now on Yellow Claw‘s imprint Barong Family. Sorn‘s haunting vocals shine in the cinematic opening of the record, which slowly builds into a hard-hitting drop with cascading synths and steadily undulating basslines. The heaviness of Yellow Claw‘s signature sound is balanced by the delicate feel of the lyrics, making “Cold Like Snow” so much more than your typical head-banging crowd-pleaser. The new release follows Yellow Claw‘s recent “Hey Sensei” with Japanese female rapper SHACHI and $u$hi Girl. Read on for the story behind “Cold Like Snow,” and keep an eye out for more music from the guys coming soon.
“After our first studio session in a hotel in Singapore, we invited Sorn over to Bali to work on the music some more. She came over and brought snacks. It was then, and there we knew we had a true friendship going on.” – Yellow Claw
“This project is very exciting for me because I never imagined I would get the opportunity to work with world-renowned producers/DJs like Jim and Nils. We started off spontaneously recording a demo in a hotel room in Singapore, then I flew over to Bali to finish the song, and before I knew it, we were performing on the main stage at a festival in my hometown in Thailand and then at Marquee Singapore, which was my first club performance. I never thought I’d be able to be a part of such amazing opportunities, and I’ve learned so much working with the guys. I really hope my fans will enjoy this track that myself and the guys made together.” – Sorn
Yellow Claw
Dutch electronic icons Yellow Claw are known for their thumping club records that have fueled dance floors for almost a decade. To date, the duo has accumulated over a billion plays on their music, performed at the biggest festivals and nightclubs, and worked with some of the biggest players in the industry. Their collaborations include the likes of DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, Gucci Mane, Tinashe, Tiësto, A$AP Ferg, Juicy J, to name a few., resulting in global hits such as “DJ Turn It Up,” “Do You Like Bass” and “Till It Hurts,” which are blasted in clubs around the world till today. Since 2010, Yellow Claw has been quietly inching toward electronic dance music supremacy. Their November 2015 debut album, “Blood For Mercy,” bowed at #1 on Billboard’s Heat Seekers Chart and Top/Dance Electronic Albums Chart and scored an Edison Award – the Dutch equivalent of a GRAMMY. It spawned the mega-smash “In My Room” (feat. Ty Dolla $ign, Tyga, & DJ Mustard), which notched over 160 million Spotify streams. Yellow Claw‘s magnificent development is undoubtedly linked to their stellar performances and being unique as a brand with sophisticated outfits for each stage. With being a powerhouse beyond the trap scenes, Yellow Claw‘s consistency continues to fuel their momentum, pushing them forward.
Sorn
Sorn is a Thai singer and internet celebrity based in South Korea. In 2011, she competed in tvN’s K-Pop Star Hunt and was named winner of the first season.

Sorn personally participated in the cover artwork and music video for her debut single – “Run,” In December 2021, Sorn signed with Wild Entertainment Group as a solo artist, under which she released multiple singles, such as 2022’s “Sharp Objects” and “Nirvana Girl.”
Where are you currently based?
I’m currently based in Boorloo/Perth.
How did you first start in music?
I grew up in an Italian family, my Nonno had an amazing operatic voice, my Nonna loved singing and my Dad used to sing and play in a band when he was young. I remember he would often have band practice at the house and I’d listen (to the singers) wanting to front the band just like them. So from then on I was THAT kid. The one who would be in all the talent competitions and all the musicals. It wasn’t until I was much older and had more life experience that song writing really became my number one.
Your latest single ‘Michael Cera’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
When I wrote ‘Michael Cera’ I was listening to a lot of Vampire Weekend and just really enjoying the playfulness of their earlier albums and how percussive their music was…so that definitely influenced the sound. It felt refreshing to write something fun that people could clap and sing along to and have a laugh at, but still had a lot of heart. Also my brother is heavily influenced by 90s grunge and he did all the guitar work on the track so he brought the 90s fuzz/garage vibes which was a perfect fit.
How did you go about writing this track?
The idea came about when I was dating a guy who smiled like Michael Cera. As soon as I realised this I just HAD to tell him straight away, so that’s where the chorus ‘you smile like Michael Cera’ came from. It was actually the first part I wrote (I was driving at the time) and I couldn’t wait to get home to write the rest! I felt I had so much to say about this person and our situation so the lyrics just poured out of me. The thing I find most amusing though, is when I told him that he smiled like Michael Cera he absolutely hated it, and then I went and wrote a whole song about it, with a music video and all.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
After I wrote the song I shared it with my brother (Token Friend) and then he came back with a draft version of the production for the track (drums, bass and guitar) in logic which I absolutely loved and then I recorded my vocals from home, added some extra touches and lots of live claps and BVs. Our drummer (Jasper) then recorded live drums at ‘Debaser Studio’ and Andy Lawson mixed and mastered the song, as well as adding some of his magic to the production.
What does this single mean to you?
‘Michael Cera’ was the song that marked the beginning of a new sound for me, and it felt pretty special as my brother did most of the production. We have always really bonded over our love of music, but it’s only been the past couple of years that we’ve decided to make it more collaborative and it’s been the best move for both of us. There’s something about making music with a sibling, there’s a depth of understanding and feel which I swear is only in the blood, and it’s beautiful to be able to share the joy and the wins with each other.
Who are you listening to at the moment?
‘What are rockstars doing today’ by Magic Dirt, it is such an underrated album.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2023?
After this single I’m presenting an installation at ‘Strange Exhibition’ in Perth, my piece will be called ‘The Michael Cera Experience’ and it will be an audio/visual experience that will be oh so very strange and humorous. Very grateful to have been selected. After that I will be releasing 2 more singles, with the EP coming out later this year, playing some more shows, and hopefully acting opposite Michael Cera (haha I wish).
Favourite food and place to hangout?
I am pasta obsessed. I also love chocolate and make myself a hot chocolate (or 2) every single day. Somehow I never get sick of it.
My fave place to hang out…well believe it or not, I’m a total homebody, but if I have to choose somewhere else other than home it would have to be the beach or a walk in nature, and really anywhere with a dog. I find nature super calming and great for my creativity.

Skyuka has also had previous support across community radio including RTR FM, Radio Fremantle, Edge Radio and 97.9 FM. Skyuka is known for her eclectic sound; with ‘Michael Cera’, she is making her mark on the global pop scene, with an EP set to be released later this year.
PRAISE FOR SKYUKA
“The song is bubblegum pop delicious with its high-stepping canter, buzzing garage guitars, rampant choruses and wry lyrics…”
Backseat Mafia
“It’s a fierce and focused pop tune lush with electronic grooves and this larger-than-life assertiveness, channeling names amongst Australian pop’s most exciting as she dives into the dark, moodiness of pop music – something we often don’t see.”
Pilerats
“With a little lick of jazz on the vocals, this opens up into a luxuriously dark banger.”
Triple J – Gemma Pike
“Awesome energy and lyrically on point”

‘Michael Cera’ is out now.

Anyone who wants to be there in 2023 should hurry, because two months before the start, over 40,000 tickets have already been sold.

It should be a gigantic birthday party with guests from over 50 countries. Also a lot of the best DJs and acts will fly in from all over the world to the tranquil town of Neustadt-Glewe in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to congratulate AIRBEAT ONE. Who will be at this year’s edition is confirmed now with the announcement of the Full Line Up.
Only the biggest DJs and acts on the planet will perform on the epochal showpiece of the AIRBEAT ONE festival, the “Mainstage” with its monstrous dimensions of up to 180 meters wide and 50 meters high.

SYDNEY (May 22, 2023) – FLETCHER will return to Australia and New Zealand later this year in celebration of her critically-acclaimed debut album GIRL OF MY DREAMS.
FLETCHER established herself as a bonafide pop star in 2022.
Hailing from Asbury Park, New Jersey, FLETCHER received industry acclaim early in her career – largely due to her natural and candid storytelling talent, exemplified on her debut EP, you ruined new york city for me, in 2019. The record featured FLETCHER’s breakout hit ‘Undrunk’, which scored the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart; an early indicator of the musician’s potential. Following this up with 2020’s, THE S(EX) TAPES, FLETCHER returned triumphant, adding to her winning scorecard with songs like ‘Bitter’ fast-climbing to 250 million global streams.
FLETCHER made new waves with GIRL OF MY DREAMS, landing within the Top 15 of the Billboard 200: a powerfully potent collection of songs that provided 2022’s most memorable pop moments, including ‘Becky’s So Hot’, ‘Sting’ and ‘Better Version’. To date, FLETCHER has amassed over one billion streams globally,
The release of GIRL OF MY DREAMS brought solidified FLETCHER as a U.S. star with staying power. Among her achievements during the album cycle, FLETCHER performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, completed a sold out 25-date tour of North America, and joined Miley Cyrus for a rendition of ‘Midnight Sky’ as part of Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party – another viral moment of 2022.
The GIRL OF MY DREAMS TOUR will be an unmissable opportunity for fans to experience the album live, and fall further in love with FLETCHER as she makes her way to both countries at the end of 2023.
The tour will take FLETCHER to New Zealand first, where she will bring her live show to the Auckland Town Hall on November 29. From there, she will tour Australia, starting in Sydney on December 2 at the Hordern Pavilion, and making her way to Melbourne’s Forum and Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall, before finishing the run in Perth at Metro City.
Fans will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with FLETCHER, with both an Ultimate Meet & Greet Experience and Soundcheck Experience packages on offer.
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 1pm, Friday 26 May.

Mannheim’s Peter Felix Waldmann, known to the electronic music world simply as ‘Gorge’ has been undoubtedly one of the most consistent names on the deeper side of the house music spectrum for almost two decades. Returning to Déepalma with yet another masterful creation, his latest work highlights Gorge’s innate ability to remain at the forefront of cutting-edge electronic music with compelling studio productions that stand the test of time.
‘Sleepless’ is an instantly dissolving deepened house cut with pulsating frequencies and sweeping textures from the outset. Floating delicately around a sensuous vocal hook, its hotbed of reverberating synth layers, deep bass stabs and gliding pads bring enveloping warmth to its loosened grooves and crisp percussive drive.
2023 marks an impressive milestone for Déepalma Records as they prepare to celebrate their tenth anniversary.
