Stuck Out’s lyrics resonate like that familiar internal monologue we all shared when we discovered one simple truth: growing up is not all it’s cracked up to be. Navigating the ins and outs of complex relationships, while trying to find your place in a world that makes less sense by the day have become the cornerstone for the band’s lyrics, and they want to use every platform they can to help music lovers feel a little less alone. While some musicians play their cards quite close to their chest, Stuck Out have worn their heart on their sleeve since day one, and it has lead to them garnishing a keen and loyal fanbase.
The young four piece have made their way around Australia multiple times over the past few years off the back of their 2018 Greyscale Records debut EP You Won’t Come Home. They have supported acts such as As It Is, With Confidence, The Story So Far, and Senses Fail; enrapturing audiences with their blend of rock infused pop-punk that cuts through to a deeper layer of the human condition. The band can also now forever lay claim to playing the very first note ever played on a stage at the now staple of the Australian heavy music calendar, Good Things Festival.
2020 saw the band knuckle down to work on a follow up to their debut EP, and came out the other side with a very pointed EP titled Lie Through Your Teeth. Now the band & Greyscale Records look to the future as they add Sharptone Records to the team to help them push from one of the most exciting bands in Australia, to one of the biggest in the world.

German producer Wankelmut lays his magic touch to her poppy single, amplifying its feel-good vibes to a new level. Her classy, flowing vocal delivery is fused to a high-energy piano house groove that bumps and bounces in all the right places. The piano chords are sprightly and accent the groove in a ‘90s house style, while the plump bass melody adds more colour. A clever arrangement keeps the remix interesting and intriguing throughout, finding the perfect balance between dancefloor power and radio-friendly. It’s the perfect complement to her innovative songwriting and soulful voice. Wankelmut makes for the perfect remixer for her, with remixes for the likes of Gossip, Royksöpp, Dennis Lloyd and Flight Facilities among his 300 million+ Spotify plays.
‘’Following the recent global success of my collaboration with Ofenbach on ‘Head Shoulders Knees and Toes’, I’m really excited to release this remix of Basketball as a fresh new take on the song.’’ Norma explains ‘’ I love the way Wankelmut used the outro hook from the original to make a really fun, bouncy, and catchy drop in this version. Remixes are interesting because they dress up a song in a totally new way, and they not only show the versatility of a strong melody, but the power and ability of chords and tonality to express different emotions.’’
With 9 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 200 million streams worldwide, Norma Jean Martine is blazing through the charts. The aforementioned ‘Head Shoulders Knees & Toes’ has been one of the standout hits of 2020, currently picking up over 1 million streams a day, it’s proved a real earworm of a track, hitting #60 in the Global Shazam Chart.
Her next EP ‘Visiting Hours’ is on the horizon and it features another dance banger alongside the amazing MOTi.
The official video of ‘Basketball’ Wankelmut Remix is out now and gives the track a 90’s vintage visual identity.
Norma Jean Martine: ‘’Douglas Dulgarian, the director and producer of the original, remixed the video as well. He experimented with VHS stock footage and negative processing to create a very instagram e-girl meets Lana Del Rey Video Games DIY’’

The 2020 year has been both unprecedented and challenging in many ways, with artists and music fans feeling the absence of making memories in-person most of all. R3HAB decided to close out the year with his new single “Ones You Miss” to commemorate the strangest year most of us can remember, sending a positive message as we experience the holiday season in uncertain times. Delivering bouncy piano melodies, a breezy bassline, and a velvety topline, “Ones You Miss” is an emotive yet energizing and dancefloor-friendly ode to all of the people that make our life worth living. Despite the global pandemic, R3HAB had no shortage of meaningful releases, including his singles “One More Dance” with Alida, “Am I The Only One” with Astrid S and HRVY, “Family Values” with Nina Nesbitt, “Good Example” with Andy Grammer, to name only a few. Check out R3HAB‘s inspiration behind his final track of 2020 below:
“At the end of a year, we look back and celebrate milestones, but the memories that mean the most to me are always the special moments with my family, friends, and fans. I want this song to let the people I love know that I can’t wait to be with them again.” – R3HAB
Dutch/Moroccan DJ and producer Fadil El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, has been trailblazing his way through dance music for the better part of the last decade. From his breakthrough hit remix of Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo‘s “Give Me Everything” to his dance anthems, such as “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” which have collectively amassed over 600M streams, to his collaborations with the likes of ZAYN, Andy Grammer, Sofia Carson, Timmy Trumpet and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most talented and forward-thinking artists in the game. He partnered with Spotify and GATTÜSO to create the first-ever official “mint” single release. In 2016 he founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which passed one billion streams on its catalog within the first two years since its inception. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, experimenting with everything from hip-hop to pop through his collaborations. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB is continuing his journey. Keep an eye out for what’s next in 2021!

Startup duo Yardhaus makes their end-of-year debut with the new single “Blame,” a dance-pop crossover track that will hit home for anyone who has experienced the temporal nature of modern dating culture. Yardhaus creates a vibe for easy listening by weaving deep basslines with groovy melodies, which are complemented by the track’s soulful vocals. With lyrics like “we can see the ending right from the beginning,” “Blame” is a relatable lament for situations when you know a relationship will be short-lived but continue it anyway. Whether you need an emotional catharsis from a recent breakup or just a track to chill out to, press play on “Blame” and let this talented new duo take you on a sonic trip down memory lane.
“‘Blame‘ is a hybrid between dance, pop, and electronic. The song is about knowing how a relationship will end, even from the start. It speaks to the toxicity and short-sighted nature of transactional relationships.” – Yardhaus
Michael Jack and Max Shaevitz are the Pennsylvania and New York-based duo that make up Yardhaus, a promising new name in the dance-pop crossover circuit. Their dynamic fusion of genres gives them appeal to a broad audience, and they have cultivated a growing fan base even early in their career by opening for the likes of Marshmello, SNBRN, Zedd, ASAP Ferg, and more. Their prior tracks include “Boomerang,” “Talk Me Down,” and their remix of Galantis‘s “Mama Look At Me Now.” After spending time refining their sound, Yardhaus is back and ready to take the world by storm. Keep an eye out for more new music from this talented duo coming soon!

“‘STARS’ takes the rule book and throws it out the window and with an introduction this good, there’s no doubt what will follow will be insane. 8/10.”
Hysteria
“Mammoth sound and a relentless message.”
Claire Mooney, triple j Unearthed
“Enigmatic and hyper-active, Up Late refuses to sit in one place long enough to be confined. There’s metalcore, straight rock, EDM, pop and hip hop elements all woven atop one another, and with incredible harmony no less.”
Blunt Magazine
“Up Late is filling the gap within the Australian music industry where no other artist seems to be crossing these genres.”
MILKY
Fresh from the announce of his new label home, Up Late’s new EP ‘STARS’ is out today via UNFD.
Up Late – AKA the moniker for Wollongong singer-songwriter, producer and visual artist Max Pasalic – marked the first solo project to join the UNFD roster after his signing in September. The ‘STARS’ EP marks a complete collection of his previous singles from 2020, as well as a reimagined version of his celebrated triple j DIY Supergroup submission ‘Like This’. On today’s release, Pasalic declares: “That distortion and chaos, mixed with the pop semblance – that dichotomy – that genre-mashing, that’s the EP. That’s Up Late.”
After debuting with his comp entry in May, Up Late scored an honourable mention among 900+ other entrants, a nomination as one of the “10 most exciting discoveries of 2020” by triple j and nods from local music media including Pilerats, Blunt Magazine, Music Feeds, MILKY, Depth + more.
Backing it up with inimitable singles ‘FRIENDS’, ‘u left me on read’ and ‘Alone’, Pasalic continued to flex on his flair for unusual genre blends. Many may remember the 24 year-old as the lead singer of heavy act After Touch, who released various outputs on UNFD in 2017/18, while he also has credits producing for various local and international rap and hip hop artists including the likes of BONES.
Up Late’s ‘STARS’ EP is out now.

Generation was originally formed in the Carne brothers’ late-teens in the midst of period of self-discovery and experimentation, gathering word of mouth from their must-see live shows, yet stubbornly holding back recorded material until they were satisfied that they were meeting their own, exacting standards. Pursued by industries as interested in their style as their sounds, the brothers sway between fashion and music, gigs and runways, deadbeat bars and photo studios.

One of the best things about the internet is that you can easily discover what things are like in other parts of the world, as is the case here.
Tiahi, who has had a long lasting connection with both Australia and New Zealand, is giving us a glimpse into summer in Europe or to be more precise, in the Mediterranean – the hub in Europe for all sun seekers to gather, relax, connect and make memories during the summer season.
‘Summer Love’ is more electronic than anything we’ve heard from Tiahi so far, but still grooving to that typical offbeat rhythm. It’s an astonishing mix between upbeat electronic energy and super chill vibes and the lyrics take you straight back to where you were last summer – or want to be this summer…
The clip is just what you’d expect: beaches, sunshine, pool parties and drone shots. No need for further explications, go see for yourself, keep your eyes peeled for more news from Tiahi and get ready for summer!
