YT DiNGO (pron. White Dingo) is the personification of blood, sweat and tears. This music and dance project, spawned from the genius mind of Travers Ross, encapsulates sounds, movement and feeling in its rawest form.
Since releasing his debut music video and single, ‘Shipwrecked‘, last year—which garnered more than 50k views—YT DiNGO also premiered his live show atSplendour in the Grass. ‘Thrill of the Chase‘ is the stunning second entry of his ambitious short-film trilogy, which is released today via GD FRNDS.
‘Thrill of the Chase’ is directed and edited by ARIA Award-winning videographerClaudia Sangiorgi Dalimore (Her Sound, Her Story). Both musically and visually, the piece shows a deep love for Aboriginal cultural with three stunning Indigenous actors / dancers set in the Gumbaynggirr outback.
Following from the brash and confident debut of last year’s ‘Shipwrecked’, YT DiNGO has stepped it up even further. Presenting new and austere ideas, he collides dance and music into one entity. There’s no separating ‘Thrill of the Chase’ from its visual partner. Its decisively comprehensive and jaw-dropping visuals are merely enhanced by YT DiNGO’s meshing of rock, hip-hop and pop.
YT DiNGO uses this unique art form to fully express himself. He hopes the trilogy of songs—with the third to be released later this year—develops a story and dialogue within yourself.
“This trilogy is a raw expression of my little story on this planet in outer space at this moment in the only way I can communicate at my fullest form from experiencing all of you (people, animals, nature and what surrounds us),” explains YT DiNGO.
The cast for ‘Thrill of the Chase’ features Blk Cockatoo of the Yidnji people from far North Queensland, Shae Duncan from Gamilaraay (Moree) and Carmel Vale from Dunghutti (Kempsey). Not to mention Dave Atkins (Resin Dogs, Wolfmother, Hydrofunk Records) who played the drums and mixed the single.
‘Thrill of the Chase’ will be available worldwide on Friday 18 January.

‘A REAL GOOD KID’ – AVAILABLE NOW
“[A Real] Good Kid makes a solid case for consideration as one of the most compelling dramas of the new year.” – Entertainment Weekly
“‘Stuck in the Middle’ is a breezy pop meditation on memory, loss and growing up,” – Billboard
“The instrumentation is sunny: firm strums on guitar, a disco bass line, a resolute four-on-the-floor beat.” – Rolling Stone (“Move On”)
Grammy-nominated, worldwide multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter and producer Mike Posner (“I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” “Cooler Than Me”), released new album, A Real Good Kid, today via Island Records.
“This album is about pain, loss, and the joy that comes with it. It’s about getting a call that my father has a tumor the size of a tangerine in his forehead. It’s about selling my house in LA to move into the house I grew up in to help him die. It’s about falling in love after his death. It’s about having that relationship fall apart and not really knowing why. It’s about somehow finding peace through it all.” – Mike Posner
The long-awaited third album includes newly released tracks “Move On,” “Stuck In The Middle,” and “Song About You” – which find Mike coming to terms with the circumstances that real life sent his way. Mike emerges as a musician and storyteller, finding in his melodies and lyrics that beginnings always do hide themselves in ends.
The creation and completion of A REAL GOOD KID encompassed an extraordinary two year-plus period for Mike as he moved back into the house outside Detroit where he grew up, in order to stay with his terminally ill father during his final months. The album, which tells his story, deals heavily with love, loss and eventually acceptance.
In a recently revealed video for “Move On,” Mike announced he will be setting out on a 9-month trek walking across America starting March of this year. The video received over 10 million combined views in the first week alone, while fans showed their support with nearly 200k combined shares, comments, and personal playlist adds.
A Real Good Kid Tracklist:
- Introduction
- January 11th, 2017
- Wide Open
- Song About You

‘Hold Me’ is the first of three songs set to appear on for the dark days and is one hell of an intro to the young stars second EP. The track sees Lil mature not only as a vocalist but as a producer (co-producing alongside George Moore), as she delicately layers her stunning vocals amongst intricate production, illuminating the song with a sense of vibrant light thanks to bright melodies and snappy beat production.
LISTEN TO LIL HALIMA ‘HOLD ME’
As with all Lil songs, ‘Hold Me’ tugs hard on your heartstrings as she sings lines like, “I don’t want to feel so alone, like no-one understands a word that I say, and yes I know I’m pushing them away,” with a quiver in her voice and a sense of melancholy that only comes from an artist experiencing catharsis through their work.
for the dark days is set to be followed up by another EP later in the year, designed to be a series that offer a conceptual take on her life in northern Norway, which goes through a winter of endless darkness followed by summers of constant sunlight.
Lil Halima herself said ‘Hold Me’ may, “seem like a very dark song, but in many ways what I’m trying to say is that nothing is wrong with me, I just need a hand to hold on to and in this case, it should’ve been my own”.
The multi-talented Norwegian songstress, with musical roots in both Kenya and American hip-hop, has been inspired by names such as SZA, Noname, Erykah Badu and FKA Twigs. Artists like James Blake and Bon Iver have also been an important part of her upbringing and of the making of this EP.
In 2018, Lil Halima captured the world’s attention using her unique singing, songwriting, musicianship, producer and visual art skills. On top of the masterfully crafted songs off her first EP, love songs for bad lovers, Lil Halima hand-painted all of the artwork for its singles,
including ‘Train’ and ‘Jasmine.’ Her artistic talents earned Lil Halima praise from a range of media such as triple j, FBI, Monster Children, i-D and MTV.
In the words of Wonderland Magazine, Lil Halima’s work is “reminiscent of being folded slow-motion into your duvet. And we’re ready to be coddled for an eternity”.
Today Norwegian pop star Sigrid releases the defiant new single ‘Don’t Feel Like Crying’, ahead of her highly anticipated debut album Sucker Punch, out 8 March 2019 on Island Records. The 22-year-old’s epic songs are tales of the unexpected; fearless musical collages and shout-outs to human resilience, starting at the piano in Norway, “There’s a certain grace to heartache”, says Sigrid, “A sort of…epic grace! I like good, heartfelt pop songs,” which is the foundation of Sigrid’s extraordinary debut Sucker Punch.
We have all witnessed an incredible new talent over the last two years: Sigrid has won BBC Sound of 2018, debuted at Glastonbury, lit up festivals across Reading, Roskilde,Coachella and Radio 1’s Biggest Weekend, 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 Norwegian sensation is undoubtedly set to continue her ascent with non-conformist and progressive attitudes to the femininity in the pop landscape.

Contemporary R&B singer-songwriter Phé offers up a dose of soulful prowess, as her commanding vocals, combined with raw and honest lyrics, expose a realness that truly sets her apart from the crowd. Born and raised in East Vancouver, Phé fell in love with the arts at an early age, taking to the stage as a dancer, actress, and singer. Throughout high school, she attended the Sarah McLachlan School of Music where she took her first official voice lessons — exploring her voice and honing in on her skills as a performer. It wasn’t until Phé graduated from high school that she made the decision to officially pursue her career and post-secondary education in music. She attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she studied vocal performance, music business, and songwriting, developing her unique style and refining her songwriting skills.
Throughout her time in college Phé sang as a background vocalist on projects including the Marianas Trench song, ‘Shut Up and Kiss Me’, and Aloe Blacc’s hit single ‘The Man’, but before long she found herself yearning to tell her own stories. Inspired by the strength of her childhood idols, and female powerhouses Erykah Badu, Sade, and Lauryn Hill, Phé began exploring her own artistry. Her debut EP, CRISIS is the result of this musical exploration and a first look into Phé’s mind and world – as she details her first experiences with falling in and out of love in this eight track EP. Touching on themes of love, heartbreak, female sexuality and sexual exploration, healing, mental health and self-empowerment, the stunning release takes an in-depth look at how Phé handled each new space she entered as she attempted to heal. “CRISIS is an honest and open exploration of myself and sound at a time where I had to decide if I wanted to be a victim of heartbreak or use that discomfort as inspiration for growth”, reveals Phé.
Leading single ‘Incredible’ highlights Phé’s signature sound of feel-good, ambient neo-soul, featuring ethereal synthscapes, smokey vocals and seductive melodies. With a distinct coolness the songstress narrates the moment of falling in love for the very first time, despite believing that love was a fickle and fleeting thing. ‘About Us’ speaks to that moment when you can look back at a toxic relationship and see it for what it really was. “It is my anthem of self-worth, self-realization and was my way of giving myself what I truly deserved — which was the freedom to move on and own the power of loving myself ”, confides Phé. Showcasing a sassy 90’s R&B vibe, ‘About Us’ is a declaration of self-empowerment, casting away the relationships that no longer serve us in an act of self-love.
Phé hopes that her music will allow others to feel connected and give them a mirror through which they can see and understand themselves and their experiences. The singer declares, “It’s really important for young people to be able to see themselves reflected back in the media and popular culture. It makes them feel understood and shows them that they are part of something greater than themselves. I think everyone deserves to be seen and heard”. Having received critical acclaim from outlets such as NPR and The 405, as well as her 80’s inspired ballad, ‘Feel You’ gaining over 93 thousand streams on Spotify and ‘About Us’ having been featured on Spotify’s Just Vibing playlist, Phé is ramping up for the release of CRISIS currently available worldwide.
Ahead of their upcoming Australian tour, the rebooted Divinyls featuring founding member, guitarist and songwriter Mark McEntee has introduced the band’s cracking new vocalist Lauren Ruth Ward and all Australian rhythm section via a sneak peek performance clip taken at recent rehearsals in Perth, Western Australia.
The new combination featuring McEntee, Lauren Ruth Ward and Aussies J Cortez and Malcolm Clarke rip through a snippet of the classic Divinyls track Boys In Town breathing a new energy into the song, paying homage to the past but definitely dragging the material kicking and screaming into 2019.
“For true fans of Divinyls music, this is a chance to relive some of those great songs live again,” states McEntee. “It’s not about replacing anybody,” he continues, “this tour is about getting the chance to play and bloody celebrate these great songs again, live and loud, and hopefully people are interested in that.” On the addition of Lauren Ruth Ward McEntee adds, “I’d never seriously thought about getting Divinyls back on the road until I heard Lauren sing, there had been offers, but this girl is the real thing and I just had to jump on the opportunity.”
Lauren Ruth Ward is a force of nature. Having moved to Los Angeles in 2015, the Los Angeles-based artist quickly built a large and loyal local following with her 70s-tinged psych-blues swagger and voice of gold. As a young up and coming artist Lauren brings her own voice and message to Divinyls, while at the same time respecting the legacy and lyrics of the late great Chrissy Amphlett.
The reformed Divinyls hit the road in late February with only one thing to prove, how great these enduring anthems still are and how much they still mean to so many.

Release: Braunbeck – Schlaflos EP (SOL005) Sol Eterno / 18.01.2019
Its past few releases got music enthusiasts thinking they may have to take Braunbeck’s & Hazel’s young label, much more seriously. And it’s up to co-founder and SOL01 architect, Braunbeck to up the ante even further.
Berlin’s Sol Eterno has lended some fierce dancefloor igniters since its inception not too long ago, in 2017 and by now has established a level of complexity, depth and balance within its own style. Sol Eterno labelheads have always paid keen attention to the intricate dance and intercourse of dark and light, and with SOL005, births some remarkable soundscapes and tempers multidimensional soundstructures molded by coherence and contrast. Featuring stirring vocals by Eluize, the title track of Schlaflos is rough and smooth, pitchdark and awake at once. And isn’t sleeplesness same? On B-side, Cafe Jasmin weaves in a bit more of the Sol Eterno climate as we know it, nuance, progressive and propelling. Eclecetic and electronic music maven Daniel Bortz, joins Braunbeck with a energetic, versatile remix of the title track. Bortz’ rendition of Schlaflos strips the vocals and peruses all layers of the original track to pack and punch groove and rhythm to any aural time or space, a perfect formula for some serious hip sway and unpretentious foot action.

One Track Brain, the mastermind behind OTB Records, has linked up with Irish producer Ceili in an absolutely murderous combination that, quite frankly, shouldn’t even be legal. Both artists focus on boundary-pushing modern techno, and The Brutal Truth EP is no exception. Centered around concepts of inevitable revelations of truth, longings for eternal youth, and the intersection of sublimity and insanity, this project consists of three heavy analogue jams blasting in full force from start to finish.
The title track, The Brutal Truth, invigorates the senses right away with a piercingly thick and straightforward bass line accompanied by sweeps, swooshes, and haphazard clicks and claps of various sorts. Glitchy synth noises are the cherry on top in this track, guiding the listener through multiple climaxes and bursts of energy with a strangely chaotic yet cohesive consistency.
Eternal Youth provides a melodic break while maintaining the EP’s unifying edgy and aggressive feel. The eye of the hurricane prepares listeners for the final track, Wild Card. Another fully-saturated bass line is accentuated by fluctuating synth waves and a thought-provoking male voice stating “I love dreaming”. The track ends as each instrument is meticulously stripped away, leaving the listener with a solo bass line and an appetite for mayhem.
The Brutal Truth EP will be available February 1st on OTB Records.
Tracklist:
01. The Brutal Truth
02. Eternal Youth
03. Wild Card

Istanbul synth-wave vanguards Jakuzi are back with a new album ‘Hati Payı’ set for release April 5th via City Slang Records. The first single & video “Şüphe” is streaming online now.Speaking about the video, director Eli Kasavi said “During a rehearsal of a theatre group, we focus on a couple’s relationship. These two people, who seem to be very flirtatious at the beginning, gradually become distant to each other. We begin to get suspicious whether their change of mood is caused by a third person’s presence or that they are actually turning into the characters that they have been rehearsing for.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHNiLW-hoik
Istanbul synth-wave vanguards Jakuzi turned heads in 2017 with the release of their debut album ‘Fantezi Müzik’ which showcased their modern Turkish underground music to the world. This record saw the band go against what you would stereotypically expect from a male-fronted band out of Istanbul – Turkish music is not necessarily known for being a genre where men are introspective – but Jakuzi’s gothic sensibility addressed the personal psychological issues they were facing.
When they originally released their debut on cassette in 2016, no one expected it to leave their circle, especially not the band themselves, but the record was re-released with new tracks in early 2017 via City Slang Records and immediately gained more attention than anyone anticipated. All of this seemed to happen over night, with praise from international outlets like The Quietus & The Guardian and the band also got to play sold-out shows with their musical idol John Maus.
Despite all the positivity that came with this, it came not without issues. The reality for a band in Turkey is challenging, both from an economical and personal perspective. Singing in Turkish for Jakuzi vocalist Kutay Soyocak is important to express himself, but it also means that the opportunities are limited. There are no playlists in for Turkish DIY dream pop dark wave bands, their songs will not be played on the traditional radio shows and there’s no mass market for attending punk shows. Jakuzi will always end up as the outcasts in the corner, even if your plays stack up to over two million. Paving your own path is hard, and not always rewarding.
But Jakuzi were not willing to give up. Arriving two years after their debut, ‘Hati Payı’ (literally translated as ‘’a part of the mistake”) delves deeper and explores further all the feelings that were touched upon in their debut – what it’s like to be a young adult growing up in Istanbul, having success and then having to live up to expectations, being an artist in a country that doesn’t necessarily support your work, managing personal relationships and also addressing mental health. ‘‘Hati Payı’ ’brings a more refined, darker sound to the surface, exploring the human condition.
Speaking about his personal journey creating this record, Kutay said“I think my own melancholy is coming from where I live. This can be seen in the lyrics. I feel dark, lost and lonely. The country that I’m living in just puts me in these feelings. The economy and politics here feels like life without hope. The future is dark for us in here. Trying to keep our hopes high and continuing what we do. The audience is getting bigger every day and they support us and it is just pure love in our gigs.”
As a result, Jakuzi are here to offer a home to anyone who has ever felt out of place. Instead of sinking into his personal abyss, Kutay Soyocak croons and purs his heart out on ‘Hati Payı’, which blends elements of dark wave, krautrock, post punk and British early 80s synth sounds in the hope that by confronting and observing his inner demons, he’s able to help himself and also the listeners.
Produced by Taner Yücel and recorded in Instanbul ‘‘Hati Payı’ is about acceptance, acceptance of every community, every gender, every race, ever sexuality and also about acceptance of yourself and dealing with the demons that come with being alive in the modern day.
‘Hati Payı’ track list:
1. Sana Göre Bir Şey Yok
2. Şüphe (video)
3. Yangın
4. Gördüğüm Rüya
5. Kalbim Köprü Gibi
6. Hâlâ Berbat
7. Kendine Rağmen
8. İstemezdim
9. Toz
10. Bir Şey Olur
11. Ne Teselli Ne Avuntu

Genre-blending British/Turkish songwriter and producer Gazel has shared the video for her latest single, ‘Mina’s Hymn’, ahead of her headline show at London’s St Pancras Church on February 27th.
Taken from her upcoming album Gazel’s Book Of Souls – where each track represents a different ‘soul’ from the protagonist’s subconscious – the video sees the character confront a figure amid surreal and dream-like imagery, with the track melding subtle hints of folk-tinged pop with ambient electronic tones to create an ever-changing progression of atmosphere.
Gazel explains; “Mina is an elderly widow, one of six characters that appear in Gazel’s Book of Souls. Mina watches memories of her youth through a window in the open desert where she has sat for centuries, fixing mankind’s eyes on the past. In our video, Gazel confronts Mina for the first time, only to find the face looking back at her is strangely familiar. Directed by Glen Travis and Sam Hooper, for this film we enjoyed using a surreal and ambient style to reflect our story, as the barriers between dreams, visions and reality begin to crumble.”
Taking influence from both the mysticism and the folk music of her Middle-Eastern roots, Gazel’s music references everything from world music to electronica, reminiscent in part of Grimes and Four Tet. Imbuing her music with profound philosophical references, the resulting creations form what Gazel calls “music from a fractured mindscape”.
Gazel has previously performed sold-out shows at venues including the Borderline, The Waiting Room and Birthdays, with her live shows an unmissable immersive experience of visual and sonic performance reflecting lyrical narratives and characters.
‘Mina’s Hymn’ follows Gazel’s debut single, ‘Pointing At The Moon’, released last year, and comes ahead of her headline show at London’s St Pancras Church on February 27th – tickets are available here.
