Audio Obscura Sunrise at The Loft w/ Peggy Gou, Hunee for ADE 2022

by the partae November 3, 2022
written by the partae

Words: Domenico Frascino

Amsterdam Dance Event – which took place from October 19th to 23rd – is arguably the leading European music event and something you absolutely cannot miss every autumn. With over 300 music events happening in the city, we attended one of the most epic parties of the week: the Audio Obscura Sunrise at the infamous location The Loft.

Audio Obscura parties are widely renowned for their picturesque and charming locations. This Sunrise Session took place at The Loft, located on the top floor of the A’DAM Tower, one of the tallest landmarks in the city centre of the Dutch capital. The large glass windows allow for a breathtaking view of the city, enhanced even further by the early lights of dawn that created a magical scenery for a legendary dj-set.

Behind the decks, the power combo of Peggy Gou and Hunee entertained the intimate crowd with a whopping 7-hours musical journey that kickstarted the morning on the last day of ADE 2022 from 7-14h. The unusual mix of people, some coming from afterparties or one of the multiple ADE events happening on Saturday night, and some just about to start their day with house and disco for breakfast, contributed to an otherworldly vibe in the club. 

 

Hunee started out with a carefully selected set of trippy morning magic music including several house classics tracks, perfectly fitting to an afterhour. This made the atmosphere quickly escalate and the temperature inside the Loft rise. It was enchanting to see the multicultural and international crowd getting together smiling and dancing to the hypnotic beats.

When Peggy Gou took the stage, the party went absolute bonkers. Her electro disco house selection set the dancefloor on fire, bringing the energy inside The Loft to a whole new level. 

As usual, Audio Obscura did not disappoint and delivered one of the most memorable events of the packed ADE week.

To make you feel part of the party, we listed our top 5 tracks that Hunee and Peggy Gou blasted at the Audio Obscura Sunrise Session at the Loft:

 

  1. Off the Meds – Hiccups  (Roman Flugel Elektro House Mix)
  2. Peggy Gou – I Go (DJ Koze Remix)
  3. Satoshi Tomiie – Bassline
  4. Mim Souleiman – Poa
  5. Kassian – Aerial

Sunk Loto Final Shows For 2022 Kick Off Later This Month, Limited Tickets Available For 2nd Melbourne Show

by the partae November 2, 2022
written by the partae
Photo Credit: Luke Henery
“You wouldn’t know they had just been on a 15 year hiatus…it seemed like they hadn’t missed a day. Their performance was stellar, and the crowd agreed. Crowd surfing, moshpits, horns in the air – the punters were having the time of their lives” – Wall Of Sound

“This was not just a nostalgic experience, this was better than ever. The Sunk Loto that strode confidently on to this stage, though the same humans, was a whole new beast” – Kill Your Stereo

“…the band sounding only better than they had 15 years ago, this is nostalgia heaven and everything feels right again…they’re tighter than ever, they sound bigger than ever” – Everblack Media

“Tonight’s set is twenty songs long, covering two LPs and their legendary debut EP…this is far more than a greatest hits affair. Deep cuts abound, and the crowd is loving it” – Sense Music Media

“With an explosion of energy and methodical precision that belie the fact that there had even been a 15 year hiatus as a band. Same band? Yes. Same Music?  Yes. Same performance? Not a chance! There was something fresh and exciting, like hearing it all again for the time but a more precise and mature version of those songs from long ago” – Metal-Roos
“A night fifteen years in the making for some…to say this was probably one of the most anticipated gigs for a Brisbane act in 2022 is a massive understatement” – The Live Wire
While 2022 has had its fair share of surprises, none have been more resoundingly celebrated than the announcement earlier this year that Australian metal pioneers Sunk Loto were officially returning to stages after a 15 year absence.

Selling out multiple Queensland shows within 24 hours of announcing their return, Sunk Loto swiftly went on to sell out additional 2022 shows, with a second Brisbane date and previously announced shows in Melbourne and Sydney rapidly reaching capacity. But if you missed out on snagging a chance to catch the prolific quartet back and bigger than ever live in action, a handful of tickets still remain for the second Melbourne show at Max Watt’s on Thursday 24 November. With unanimous praise from critics and fans alike so far for these explosive and in-depth shows, absence has indeed made the heart and the band’s ferocity grow fonder, and these final 2022 Sunk Loto shows are not to be missed.

If you had to list the most important heavy Australian albums of all time, it’s likely that Sunk Loto’s 2003 release Between Birth and Death would be near the top, and metal aficionados still consider the band as one of the most influential home-grown bands of the early 2000s.

Signed to Sony in 1999 when the average age of the band members was 16, Sunk Loto released an EP and two albums over their 10-year history. They toured the world with bands like Korn, Linkin Park, Suicidal Tendencies, Perfect Circle, Deftones, Sevendust and staked their claim as an epic live band at festivals such as Big Day Out, Homebake, Vans Warped Tour, Splendour in The Grass, and Falls.

Now, after 15 years apart, Sunk Loto have returned to the stage, with multiple sold out shows in Queensland earlier this year, and three shows remaining this November. The shows feature all four original members, Jason Brown, Dane Brown, Luke McDonald and Sean Van Gennip, who have come together to reconnect with their fans, entertain, have fun, and reignite their love of playing music.

After “five years of silence” (times 3) in a live setting, definitely don’t miss the final chance to catch Sunk Loto back at it in 2022 – snag your ticket today to one of the biggest shows of the year!

DJ Seinfeld announces exclusive Sydney/Eora headline show! Joined by moktar and IN2STELLAR

by the partae November 1, 2022
written by the partae
TICKETS HERE
Astral People & WAT artists proudly present… DJ Seinfeld

Sydney/Eora, you’re in luck! DJ Seinfeld is returning this coming January 2023 to bring us a night of unparalleled talent in Sydney’s Roundhouse. Joining him on the night will be two local heavy hitters, moktar and IN2STELLAR, for a night of sweat-inducing tunes.

DJ Seinfeld’s music exists in a gossamer haze, a true master of delicate and purposeful production. An unintentional figurehead of the lo-fi scene with deep influence and inspiration across electronic music as a whole.

The Swedish producer’s latest album ‘Mirrors’ released in 2021 brought his sound into sharp focus, receiving resounding critical acclaim, the record manages to exist in a space that is both optimistic and melancholic. Recorded between Berlin and Malmo, ‘Mirrors’ is the follow up to Seinfeld’s 2017 debut album ‘Time Spent Away From U’ and his first for Ninja Tune.

The fastidious attention to detail that goes into his production is mirrored in his sets. An equally calculated affair, every element of Seinfeld on stage is curated to perfection; expert selections woven seamlessly together where euphoria is the default, and this is exactly what he’ll be treating us to in an unmissable Roundhouse show this January.

Joining him on the night is Sydney fan favourite moktar. At a time that’s seeing a championing of more traditional instrumentation in dance music, moktar is at the forefront of this groundswell. Exploring techno and IDM through the lens of Arabic percussion and instrumentation, he is undoubtedly one of the country’s most exciting emerging artists.

Rounding off the lineup is Melbourne/Naarm powerhouse duo IN2STELLAR. Inspired by 90’s rave and jungle, futuristic electro sounds and breakbeat, they’ve made a name for themselves around the Melbourne scene. Cutting their teeth at the infamous (but sadly closed) Lounge club’s night ‘Lucid’, they’ve been a welcome addition to club and festival lineups all over the country.

Join us for a night of steamy dancing and impeccable tunes this January – see you in the place!

Fri Jan 27, 2023 – Sydney, Roundhouse

Synth-Pop Sensation PRISCILLA Delight With Their New Single ‘Lose Control’

by the partae October 28, 2022

Credit: Jarrad Levy

Previous Support For PRISCILLA

“surging, sparkling and stylish pop that’ll have you out of breath by the end.” 4 / 5
(Declan Byrne, Triple J) 
[About ‘Dance Through The Night’]

“the electro-pop sound of the future” (Purple Sneakers) 

“It’s a song that’s rich with emotional intelligence and personal growth, witnessing Priscilla evolve from their experiences through heart-gripping lyricism and dynamic instrumentation” 
(Pilerats) [About ‘Dance Through The Night’]

‘Dance Through The Night’ – Wild One on ABC Rage

‘Follow’ added to Spotify’s Out Now Playlist

Stream ‘Lose Control‘

Proving once again that they’re “the electro-pop sound of the future” (as heralded by Purple Sneakers), Boorloo/Perth-based duo PRISCILLA are set to release another incredible sensory smash. Titled ‘Lose Control’, this next track will be out on Oct 28, and stuck on repeat ever after.

Debuting in 2018, and with 7 singles already under their belt, PRISCILLA have set the stage for The Presets, Wafia, San Cisco, Haiku Hands, ALPINE, and Woodes, and played at a multitude of festivals along the WA coastline.

Climbing to greater heights seems inevitable for PRISCILLA, and ‘Lose Control’ is set to take them there.

In ‘Lose Control’, P Gardner’s voice gracefully carries the track’s plea for surrender straight to the heart, powerfully punctuated by synth bursts that beat alongside. The pared back verses hold ample space, welcoming the glittery cascades of Luke Minness’ twinkly production and granting them attention to oscillate and catch the light. It’s easy to picture a packed dancefloor or sweaty festival crowd dancing along in a powerful moment of euphoric bliss, a vision that will soon become a reality.

‘Lose Control’ is angry at the world, but celebratory of the strength found in community and the euphoria that can be experienced when surrounded by people who affirm and understand. P states:

“Feeling at home in your own environment, taking up space, or feeling safe in your own body are some things that others may take for granted because they have never had to think about it. Not all of us get to experience a secure sense of feeling comfortable and safe enough to completely let go, lose control, and be ourselves without fear of the external consequences coming from hateful and loveless places.”

PRISCILLA have already been given the nod from plenty of industry insiders, including but not limited to Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, Purple Sneakers, RAGE, Pilerats, FROOTY, RTR FM, 2RRR, 4ZZZ, Radio Adelaide. PRISCILLA’s track ‘Follow’ featured on Spotify’s ‘Out Now’ pride playlist, has been streamed 130K times and ‘Dance Through the Night’ earned the group their 4th consecutive year of WAM nominations, this time for (Pop) Song of the Year 2022.

The duo are looking ahead to summer when they are set to support The Veronicas during the Summer Festival at the Ice Cream Factory on December 2 and launch their single at Fremantle Arts Centre on December 11.

Catch the latest hit from PRISCILLA, ‘Lose Control’ when it’s out on Oct 28.

Shifting their impulses from shuffling, warped sample-led percussion as on their previously released ‘UR Heart’ and ‘Never Forget’, Bag Raider‘s latest release ‘Letting Go‘ is a pensive, fast-paced mantra. In this latest era, Chris and Jack‘s music is dedicated to the emotional ties of club spaces and dancefloors, serving today a single devoid of indulgent hubris, but instead, presenting a vessel and means for release.

Of their latest release, Jack shares, “This tune is about body feel, freeing the mind and submitting. On the dancefloor, in life, whenever. We can all use a bit of letting go.” Chris elaborates, “Letting Go is about liberation, sometimes we don’t allow ourselves to live the full potential of our experiences because we’re holding on to expectations or insecurities or other baggage that brings us down, and one of the best places to drop all of that is on the dancefloor.”

Following the success of their 2019 sophomore LP Horizons, Bag Raiders‘ recent stream of releases arrived in the wake of their newly minted label Broken Head Records, both of which accumulated international praise from BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, Danny Howard and Sarah Story, KISS FM UK’s Sam Divine, Ben Malone and TCTS, Apple Music 1 and triple j with the coveted Friday Mix.

Wider praise arrived from the likes of DJ Mag, EARMILK, Pilerats, EDM.com, and Stoney Roads, with a stack of streaming playlists including the Monster Dance cover and global DJ support from TOKiMONSTA, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, A-Trak, Fouk, Adana Twins, Dom Dolla, John Digweed, Eelke Kleijn and Oliver Heldens.

The project of Jack Glass and Chris Stracey, not many artists have had an immense effect on the youth of today quite like Bag Raiders. Whether that be sound-tracking many a sweaty night on a dancefloor, sing-a-longs at some of the biggest festivals in the world, or even becoming the anthem to one of the most iconic moments in the internet’s history, the electronic duo have done it all; and are ready for more.

Their place as stalwarts in the dance community for over a decade comes after releasing a slew of cult-favourite singles and signing to dance-powerhouse Modular Records, which saw the duo release their debut self-titled record in 2011. The record debuted at #7 on the ARIA Charts and snagged them a ‘Best Dance Release‘ nomination at that year’s ARIA Awards. A part of that record was the single ‘Shooting Stars‘ which has amassed over 4 billion streams online, clocked over 32 Platinum or Gold plaques worldwide and had a cultural impact beyond anyone’s expectations. Now their eyes are firmly set on the future.

‘Letting Go‘ is out now, buy/stream it here.

FUTURE ISLANDS Announce 2023 Australia + New Zealand tour

by the partae October 27, 2022
written by the partae

Handsome Tours and Secret Sounds are thrilled to announce the return of indie icons Future Islands for their first shows in Australia and New Zealand since 2017! The Baltimore quartet of Gerrit Welmers, Michael Lowry, Samuel T. Herring and William Cashion will be performing songs from their latest album, As Long As You Are alongside favourites from across their career this coming February.

The band will kick things off in Perth playing The Rechabite, before heading to Powerhouse in Brisbane and Forum in Melbourne, followed by a trip across the pond to play Auckland’s Powerstation. Additionally, Future Islands will be playing New Zealand Festivals Splore and Electric Avenue, plus a very special Sydney show, with more details to come….

As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and “letting go”, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close. Signalling a new era for Future Islands, touring drummer Mike Lowry officially joined as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers. Given time to allow the songs to slowly come to life, these eleven new songs of post wave synth-pop are as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career.

Tickets for the headline dates will go on general sale Thursday 3 November at 10am local time. Eager fans can gain access to early tickets by signing up to the promoter pre-sale here: https://bit.ly/fi23_ht

For more information and full tour details head to headsometours.com.

Praise for As Long As You Are

“Melding melodic punch with brooding gloom, Future Islands’ role as new wave torch bearers is assured on a sixth album gilded with emotional and sonic depth, symptomatic of their rising status as seasoned songsmiths.” – The Line Of Best Fit, 9/10

“existential bangers from Baltimore’s most eccentric band” – NME, ★★★★

Album Of The Week – AU Review, ★★★★

“Future Islands stun once again with their sparkling synthpop that is equal parts melancholic and uplifting.” – STACK

“Brimming with confidence and dripping with arena-sized existential anthems… As Long as You Are is the rejuvenated sound of a band who finally found what they are looking for.” – Loud and Quiet

“A work of incredible density, and yet, it feels so light. A remarkable dichotomy.” – Scenestr

“One of the most anticipated albums of the season.” – Consequence of Sound

“This album feels like the next step in their story, with more deeply felt New Romantic intensity than ever.” – Rolling Stone

Armand Hammer announce AUS/NZ tour With headline shows in Wellington, Auckland, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth

by the partae October 26, 2022
written by the partae
SIGN UP TO THE PRE-SALE
Armand Hammer bring their strikingly unique and eclectic style to Australia for the first time in March, presented by Astral People & Handsome Tours. The incendiary combination of New York rappers Billy Woods and Elucid is untouchable: both artists having released acclaimed and forward-thinking solo albums this year alone, still coming together as a sum greater than its parts.

Few rap duos achieve what Armand Hammer achieve, boasting a legendary back catalog that provides a vivid cross section of each moment in underground hip-hop over the last decade. Collaborating regularly with artists such as Earl Sweatshirt, Pink Siifu, Quelle Chris, Moor Mother and R.A.P Ferreira, the duo have the taste of curators and the touch of true artists. On 2021’s seminal Haram, Armand Hammer join forces with a single producer on a record for the first time: no one better to challenge the unchallengeable than the legendary The Alchemist. The record sees all three artists embark upon uncharted territory, with Woods and Elucid entering more outlandish regions of storytelling and world-building, stirring pristine imagery and finding pockets in the increasingly eclectic production of The Alchemist.

Elucid and Billy Woods are fresh from solo ventures, with Elucid’s I Told Bessie and Woods’ Aethiopes and Church adding to their indelible catalog and solidifying both rapper’s legendary status with their incomparable output. Both artists feature extensively on the other’s record, making clear the sentiment of Armand Hammer exists wherever each rapper ventures into next.

Haram, and all other Armand Hammer albums, are there to be explored like a living museum. Their live show reveals more, and places you within their remote world like no listening experience can.

There is nothing on the landscape like Armand Hammer: missing this shows would be a disservice.

Friday Mar 3, 2023 – Wellington, San Fran

Saturday Mar 4, 2023 – Auckland, The Tuning Fork

CVLTFest Feat. Alpha Wolf, Silent Planet, Deez Nuts, Currents, The Beautiful Monument, To The Grave, Bloom, Vengeance & Future Static Is This Week!

by the partae October 26, 2022
written by the partae

CVLTFEST, Alpha Wolf’s special one off heavy music festival makes its debut this Sunday at Melbourne Pavilion, Kensington.

This truly spectacular line up curated by the band themselves features Alpha Wolf as the headliners and with friends Silent Planet (USA), DEEZ Nuts (their first show back in Australia in nearly 4 years), Currents (USA), The Beautiful Monument, To The Grave, Bloom, Vengeance and Future Static.

On top of the killer performances, there will be a free photobooth and Deathwish Barber & Tattoo stand. There will be food trucks with vegan and non vegan options and market stalls including Greyscale Records, Sharptone Records, UNFD, Gehenna Clothing, Wearalmost Clothing and Sea Shepperd.

While they don’t do anything in halves and continue to push boundaries, CVLTFest is no exception. Each band on the line up will donate 10% of merchandise commission to an organisation of their choice and all festival brand merchandise profits will be donated to a charity by Alpha Wolf.

While the road has been far from easy for Alpha Wolf and they refuse to let anything stand in their way. Throughout the chaotic and turbulent times they find themselves, the band released their sophomore album ‘a quiet place to die’ to critical acclaim including a #6 spot on the ARIA charts and a nomination for Best Heavy Album at the ARIA awards. Selling out multiple sold out runs around Australia, two European runs under their belt, the band have just returned home from a huge North American run as direct support to ERRA and performing in Europe with Polaris on their headline run. In August, the band released a split EP with UK’s Holding Absence.

If you haven’t got your ticket yet, we urge you to do so before you miss out.

GOLD FANG EMBRACES GROWTH AND AUTHENTICITY IN CATCHY NEW SINGLE ‘BIG NATTY RASTA’ + ON TOUR WITH THE TERRYS + NERVE

by the partae October 26, 2022
written by the partae
Photo by @Farnozz

PRAISE FOR GOLD FANG

“Gold Fang is a great reminder that Australia is home to
world class artists  from a wide-array of rich musical cultures”

FBi Radio

“Wild and charismatic flows”
Complex Australia

“Catchy inflections rooted in the sounds of Reggae, 
propelled by a swagger-heavy flow”
Acclaim

“A slice of reggae perfection”
Red Bull Australia

“Natural charisma”
Tenner Magazine

“​​His catalogue of singles have consistently moulded together the 
cultural zeitgest of Sydney with his Trinidadian heritage”
Purple Sneakers

“Catchy call and response hook”
Earmilk

“Sonic realms of Afrobeat and Dancehall”
MILK

“One of the most exciting hip hop artists doing it in the inner west”
Life Without Andy

Today, Trinidad-born, Eora-based artist Gold Fang shares his new single and video ‘Big Natty Rasta’, out now via Nina Las Vegas’ imprint NLV Records. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE.

Produced by Naarm-based producer Swick, whose recent credits include M.I.A’s MATA, ‘Big Natty Rasta’ is a free-flowing and energised number that sees Gold Fang further fasten his versatility as an artist, seamlessly adapting as the beat transforms. The track boasts a powerful arrangement between Swick and Gold Fang, one that is high in energy, unique in production, and infectious in rhyme.

Alongside a video directed by frequent collaborators The Sesh, the release of ‘Big Natty Rasta’ is an authentic addition to Fang’s expansive musical palette, with a firm nod to the experience of his Trinidadian roots. Gold Fang shares “They had this thing back in the days where even in my country, you had to have certain hairstyles or else you get sent home, or the teachers would say something about it. Big Natty Rasta is about going against the grain – people look at Rastas as rebellious, and I think it is rebellious. It’s not you trying to be the clean-cut person, it’s about you embracing who you are – embracing growth and authenticity. Big Natty Rasta is about eating a whole heap of pasta and causing disasters.”

His steady stream of releases including the free-flowing ‘Wet‘, ‘Light It’ and ‘Make It Snow ft. Dante Knows’ as well as his commission for the McDonald’s U.S. biennial global conference ‘Matter To Me’ and collaboration with rapper Big Skeez on their anthemic single ‘Where Yuh From’, helmed Fang’s artistry to new heights – high rotation from triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio and SYN FM, RAGE and MTV alongside praise from Complex Australia for his “wild and charismatic flows”, “head-bop-inducing percussion of dancehall” by Acclaim Magazine and “ferociously delivered bars” by Purple Sneakers amongst others.

Coupled with a blockbuster appearance at BIGSOUND, Gold Fang continues to cement his place at the forefront of local tastemakers and so-called Australia’s thriving Afro-Caribbean creative community: be it kicking off the year as triple j Unearthed‘s Feature Artist, a Semi-Finalist in Acclaim Magazine’s All-Stars as well as one of Red Bull’s 2022’s Australian Rappers to Watch, his commission for the McDonald’s U.S. biennial global conference ‘Matter To Me’ and his explosive freestyle for Red Bull’s 64 Bars alongside his sync involvement with Champion for their ‘Collegiate’ campaign and with JD Sports modelling for the new Adidas Trefoil line, Gold Fang proves no matter what lane, he keeps on winning.

‘Big Natty Rasta‘ is out now via NLV Records,
buy/stream it here.
