Where are you currently based?
I’m from Perth.
How did you first start playing music?
One day Dad came home from a weekend garage sale with an old classical guitar. I was the first one to run outside and asked my dad if it was for me. He said yes and that was it!
What’s been happening recently?
Just the usual crazy stuff I suppose. Writing music, gaming and preparing for Bigsound.
Your latest single ‘Guns and Grenades’ is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I was cramming a school project one night. Because we are using Ableton in school, the song ended up having more electronic elements in it than my previous songs. The lyrics were actually sitting in my phone for a while and I decided, “f$%& it, let’s use it”.
Where and when did you record/produce/master and who did you work with?
I recorded the song within the span of three weekends in March this year and I worked with Ryan Botha of Audax Studios here in Perth, who also mixed and mastered the song.
How did you approach the recording process?
I will send the full demo to Ryan. He will then program the drum and bass parts from the demo, we then record all guitar parts. Upload the synth’s from the demo and then comes the hardest part – vocals.
What does Guns and Grenades mean to you?
When I think about the song, I think about two people standing on opposite sides of the battlefield told to fight to the death. These people are having their love torn apart by other people’s selfish interest.
You’re playing at Bigsound 2022, how are you feeling?
Scared and nervous but excited! It’s my first time flying to somewhere else to perform so it’s a really big milestone in my career so far.
What do you have planned for this epic showcase?
I’m excited to play “Guns And Grenades” live!
Who are you looking forward to seeing also play at Bigsound 2022?
To Octavia, The Last Martyr, Future Static.
What do you like to do away from music?
PC Gaming (especially Valorant), spend time with family and my cat Mimi and also drawing.
What’s planned for 2022?
There may be more singles still to come and I’ll continue writing in the meantime
Favourite food and place to hangout?
The restaurants in China Town are bussin, and gamers like me hangout virtually online with other gamer friends.

Title: I Hope That It Hurts
Label: Universal Music / Virgin Records
Dance music veteran Nicky Romero releases his third single on Universal Music / Virgin Records titled “I Hope That It Hurts” with Norma Jean Martine. The song is a stunning example of Romero‘s ability to produce everything from the mainstage festival dance floor fillers to radio airwaves-friendly dance-pop crossover gems that truly hits in the feels. With a winning combination of emotive vocals and organic, cascading melodies, “I Hope That It Hurts” is the type of breakup anthem that you’ll be belting out in the shower, in the car, or after a few glasses of wine. In addition to his countless releases on Romero‘s very own Protocol Recordings, he previously released “Why Do I Call” and “Nights With You” on Virgin/Universal, while Norma Jean Martine had collaborated on some big hits with the likes of Ofenbach on “Head Shoulders Knees & Toes” (over 350M on Spotify alone) and Lost Kings on “When We Were Young” (over 110M streams on Spotify) making the talented American one of the most in-demand singers/songwriters in the world.
“‘I Hope That It Hurts‘ is a special song to me, as the whole creative process was quite a journey. I fell in love with the first demo of the song, but it was originally too far away from my sound. So my biggest challenge was to turn this beautiful song into something I felt comfortable with without losing the DNA of the original writing and Norma‘s voice, which captivated me when listening to the very first version of it. She really brought the song to the next level with her amazing performance. I’m really excited to share this one with the world.” – Nicky Romero
“I felt honored and couldn’t pass up the opportunity of collaborating with DJ legend Nicky Romero. I’m really proud to say that this is my first ever release with a producer credit attached to my name. During lockdown, I had to learn logic to stay in the songwriting game, so I actually recorded the vocals for this song myself while in my childhood home in New York.” – Norma Jean Martine
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as “Legacy” with Krewella and the #1 single “I Could Be The One” with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label’s roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve, and with his annual “Nicky Romero & Friends” ADE showcase and the launch of Monocule alter-ego, he keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.
Title: Colombiana
Label: Repopulate Mars
Native Californian and international sensation Sam Blacky makes her debut on Lee Foss‘s Repopulate Mars with “Colombiana,” a tech-house firestarter with a sultry edge. The new single is the next tribute to Blacky‘s love of travel and appreciation of culture, incorporating elements of traditional Latin music with her signature tech and tribal style. Strong kick drums and organic instrumentals combine for a record that will have you booty shaking on the dancefloor and imagining yourself framed by the ocean and the setting sun in an exotic paradise. “Colombiana” is Blacky‘s first release since her “Summer Solstice” EP from the last summer.
“‘Colombiana‘ was inspired by my love for the Latin influence in music. It seems to be coming to the forefront much more recently, which makes me so happy. The sensual guitar set amongst tech house tribal vibes is what makes it for me. Since I started performing and especially making music, Repopulate Mars has always been one of my biggest goals. I think the level of taste-making and innovation in the tech house scene is unparalleled, and I couldn’t be happier to join the family.” – Sam Blacky

Before all the music, her modeling portfolio included brands such as Nike, L’Oréal, Galore, Marie Claire, Superdry, Guess, Sports Illustrated, Malibu, and Playboy, giving her a unique creative perspective to all types of cultures and styles to bring to her music. With the launch of Sam Blacky‘s label, Stabby Records, back in 2021, the first releases, and now the first track of 2022, Sam keeps expanding her artistic brand.
Title: Say Yes
Label: Spinnin’ Records
Rising star BYOR releases his dancefloor-friendly new single “Say Yes” on Spinnin’ Records, an end-of-summer anthem perfect for those late-season festivals. He opens with a sultry question, “If I asked you to dance, would you say yes?” as if teasing the crowd with what’s to come; the talented DJ and producer then seamlessly weaves in a tech house beat with strong kickdrums and rising cymbals, topping it all off with funky melodies that give listeners no choice but to get down and groove. No matter what BYOR asks us to get moving, with this beat, the answer will always be “yes.” See what he had to say about the track below:
“The story behind the single and its title is that every DJ dreams of the same thing – a huge dancefloor filled with a responsive crowd. But even the most confident DJs, since they are all human beings, have complexes, echoes of doubts, and uncertainty. In my head, every set begins with a silent question that I’d like to ask the crowd – if I ask you to dance, would you say “Yes“? All doubts are dispelled instantly when I see the answer is ‘Yes!” – BYOR
Since 2020, BYOR has made a household name for himself on Tiesto’s Musical Freedom and AFTR:HRS labels with releases such as “Feel That Way’,” “Keep On Dancin’,” and more. After listening to his tracks, it’s clear that BYOR makes his own rules to the game of life and music, with his style ranging from tech house to big room and more. BYOR had his breakthrough moment this year in February with “Belly Dancer” with Imanbek, which has already clocked up 100M streams on Spotify alone since its release and became a recognizable dancefloor filler. Keep an eye out for more from BYOR coming soon.
Known for his ability to create evocative and transcendental tracks, Paul van Dyk’s latest offering, ‘Artefact’ alongside UK duo Fuenka, demonstrates this in abundance. With the pioneering electronic artist releasing the third single from his highly anticipated 11th studio album The Record, ‘Artefact’ comes from Paul’s Off The Record segment of the project focusing on deeper releases to showcase another element in the producer’s arsenal.
The follow-up to recent album singles ‘SHINE Ibiza Anthem 2022′ and ‘But Not Tonight feat Christian Burns’, which have already received epic outings across the mainstages of UNTOLD and EXIT Festivals, Luminosity Beach Festival and EDEN Ibiza, ‘Artefact’ represents a simmering yet effervescent presence that primes the listener on a joyful voyage. Taking cascading rhythmic melody that flows with metallic prestige, a more profound, thick bassline then introduces a fuller body to the song’s underbelly. All of which are upheld by driving frequencies that propel the track forward. Distinctly building tension with a push-and-pull of attributes that weave throughout, both producers then bring in cinematic, spacious pockets to allow dominant elements to rise. As a result, ‘Artefact’ is a wonder that stands grandiose yet progressive within its musical aura and extended transitions.
Paul van Dyk has helped establish electronic music’s foundations and continues pushing its boundaries. Currently working on his 11th studio album, the renowned musical innovator continues to be more enthusiastic about electronic music and the global scene than ever. Through his iconic VANDIT imprint, van Dyk continues to stock the scene with dancefloor anthems, whilst his weekly VONYC Sessions radio show recently passed its 820th episode. Fans seeking to show their support for Paul van Dyk away from the dancefloor can do this by voting for him in the 2022 edition of the Top 100 DJs Poll here.
Fuenka is a rising duo hailing from the UK, bringing hypnotic releases across many labels. Having collaborated with names including Paul Thomas, John 00 Fleming, and now, Paul van Dyk, their shows across renowned events, including Luminosity and ADE, have only showcased the live talents in a recontextualized fashion.
‘Artefact’ from Paul van Dyk and Fuenka is out now on VANDIT!

CHAPTERFEST 30
Presented by ALWAYS LIVE & Triple R Saturday, November 5 | Northcote Theatre, Melbourne | Tickets In June 1992, seventeen-year-old, self-described “pimple-faced nerd” Guy Blackman put out a compilation cassette of bands from his Perth hometown called Bright Lights, Small City. He had to use fake ID to attend the launch of the cassette at the Shenton Park Hotel.
Thirty years later, Chapter Music is still alive and kicking, having endured and blossomed across eras such as 90s lo-fi jangle, 2000s post-punk revival, 2010s lo-fi jangle revival and 2020s post-punk revival-revival. Chapter has now spent three decades as a tireless champion of Australian independent music and one of Australia’s longest running and most influential labels. Guy moved to Melbourne in 1995, where Ben O’Connor joined the fold as Chapter work and life partner. There was a six-year period where records were pressed by hand by Guy at vinyl plant Corduroy Records, then a spell in Japan where Ben & Guy documented the amazing music they discovered there. Back in Melbourne since 2004, they have released earth-shaking artists like Beaches, Crayon Fields, Dick Diver, The Goon Sax, Gregor, Kath Bloom, Laura Jean, Pikelet, Sweet Whirl, Smokey, Teether & Kuya Neil, Twerps, and many more.

After two outstanding tracks on the 2021 album “101 Tropical Hits from Cosmic Space” Melbourne producer Watermelon Boy and Ghanian vocalist BRYAN THE MENSAH have teamed up again for summer prelude “No Problems”.
Since 2017 Watermelon Boy has made music to feel good too. A unique combination of sounds from the southern continents, sparkling with electronic glamour. Having combined influences, ranging from Future Bass to Reggaeton & Afrobeats, Watermelon Boy (Arlo Enemark) has established something unique in the Australian music scene. A sound that’s both vast and concise. “I want to take people to those special memories they have of summer holidays, visiting the tropics and being warm and free.” says Arlo . “It’s dance music but it’s easy to relax to.”.
Very nearly crossing paths at the start of 2020 Watermelon Boy and BRYAN THE MENSAH have since worked on three tracks together. “I was in Ghana early 2020 and I sent Bryan a message asking to collaborate. It wasn’t until I was already on my way home that he got the message and we started working together. Since then it’s been so fun collaborating and Bryan’s gone from strength to strength as an artist, becoming one of Ghana’s favourite new talents.” Their first collaboration “Same Day, Same Thing” was released later in 2020 and features a guest verse from Melbourne pop mensch Freeds. Watermelon Boy’s sparkling groove and Bryan’s stellar tone were a match made in heaven.
Their latest single “No Problems” has a big, open beat with a bouncing bassline. BRYAN THE MENSAH’s topline sings sweetly about making time quality time in the sun and escaping the rat race in contrast to society’s expectation of constant hustle. Potentially their strongest work yet, the track is funky, hooky and fun.

Having spent the first half of the year revelling in their return to live touring, Sydney’s Thunder Fox have kept the same energy they’ve brought to stages along the East Coast into new music.
The five-piece’s new single – ‘Hard Times’ – is a reflection of how much the Thunder Fox dynamic has bolstered since the release of their sophomore album Sanctuary in 2021. The group’s music, drenched in groove and funk, is elevated and as they continue to explore new influences and creative pathways, Thunder Fox enter a new era.
Recorded at Yap Yap Studios in Coogee, Thunder Fox worked with Daniel Willington (Bootleg Rascal, Plini) and Andrew Edgson (Matt Corby, Hayden Calnin) on mixing and mastering respectively. The final cut of ‘Hard Times’ is lush and rich in its tone; Sam Dawes’ gorgeous lead vocal powers through, buoyed by irresistible rhythm and guitar.
Like Sanctuary before it, ‘Hard Times’ is a great example of how Thunder Fox thrive when in a realm of R&B, funk and pop sonics, adding their own charm to some punchy and hedonistic arrangements.
“‘Hard Times’ is a song of catharsis. I was feeling pretty down and out at the time, growing tired of the bad news, bad people and bad jobs sucking all the joy from our lives. The song tells the story of two people who are struggling with 21st century issues like the effects our media has on body image, the fear women can feel for their safety when walking home at night or working a shitty job and still not being able to pay for rent.
All of these issues I’ve experienced or know someone who has so they’re close to home but, there’s a twist. I wasn’t feeling the idea of writing a depressing track so I had to find a silver lining.
When I really thought about it, almost everyone has experienced one or more of these problems; I’m really just singing about average people like myself or my friends. The idea that we’re not alone in this was the inspiration that tied the track together and where I found the hook. There’s a pumping beat to boot so we’re all gonna listen to this track and get down to it thinking, “Oh well, I guess we’re just living through hard times”. (but also let’s take action on these issues after we dance away our frustration).”
THUNDER FOX
The music video for ‘Hard Times’ was conceptualised by Jesse Tachibana and executed by director Nick Allen. Working with choreographer Jess Ines, the clip matches the vibe of the song and engages in the fun side of Thunder Fox to great results.
“For the ‘Hard Times’ video I really wanted to lean into the synth driven, high energy vibe of the song by showcasing some incredible dancers in a neon lit studio. A lot of our previous videos have had a large focus on narrative and I thought it would be fun to depart from this approach a little and really focus on aesthetic, by carefully curating lighting scenes, costumes and movement. Huge shoutout to the incredible team that made it all happen, with special props to Nick Allen our Director and Jess Ines who came up with the choreography.”
JESSE TACHIBANA, THUNDER FOX
Thunder Fox have become one of Sydney’s favourite groups in recent years and as a live unit, the band has had their evolution play out gloriously on stages as varied as Caloundra Music Festival, Lost Paradise, Subsonic Music Festival and more.
Having supported the likes of Ocean Alley and Winston Surfshirt, as well as completing their own successful run of headline shows to a growing number of fierce fans, Thunder Fox are proving their staying power with each release.
PRAISE FOR THUNDER FOX
“It’s a kaleidoscopic, exhilarating piece of funky R&B-infused pop, and almost defies belief at how something so majestic can arrive when the world feels so dismal.”
Rolling Stone Australia (‘Head In The Clouds’, 2021)
“When you’ve got that bass, horns and the type of swagger only really reserved for those who can walk the walk as well as they can talk the talk, you’ve got a formula that can’t fail”
The AU Review
“The funky saucepan has boiled over with Thunder Fox’s horned up mixture going everywhere. It sounds like way more fun that that though.”
Triple J Unearthed, Dave Ruby Howe (‘Not For Sale’, 2021)
“…sultry sax-iness and funk-drenched…a groove-laden number that is set to get feet churning and hips swaying.”
Scenestr (‘Been Busy’, 2019)
“Their music is fun and bawdy, yet with a sexy sophistication that makes it incredibly appealing.”
Eclectic Music Lover
“…funk-drenched blast of horns, harmonies, humour and bucketloads of Thunder Fox swagger.”
