Soothsayer are excited to reveal the latest member of their ever-growing roster, UK-born, Sydney-based producer Jonny Reebok. Jonny Reebok carefully crafts tracks that reference the halcyon days of electronic music while creating a lane all for himself. After a series of online drops, remixes and edits, Soothsayer today release Jonny Reebok’s latest offering, ‘Aphrodite Dub’.
Receiving its radio premiere by FBi and debuting online via Majestic Casual, ‘Aphrodite Dub’ was inspired by a desire to “create dark, heavy club music and keep you on all ten toes with bass heavy direction”. Cruising at 134BPM, ‘Aphrodite Dub’ walks us through a darkened street, late at night, as echoing synths and tight bass vibrate through the thin air, enticing us to immerse ourselves in the track’s masterful mix of UKG, jungle and dub. ‘Aphrodite Dub’ is the first half of a double a-side due later this month.

BLINK-182
DROP TIMELY SONG AND VIDEO, QUARANTINE
|
“This song is about the sadness, confusion, anger and frustration we are all experiencing right now. I hope that everybody is safe and that we can get through this very soon. Can’t wait to see you all on the other side.” says Mark Hoppus. Travis Barker adds “The song was inspired by the quarantine and the crappy punk rock music we have loved to play since day one. All the drums are one take and I even sang some backup vocals. Mark sounds more pissed off then I’ve ever heard him, and I really like it.”
Alongside the brand-new song, blink-182 have also scored two MTV VMA nominations for “Best Rock” and “Best Music Video From Home” for their fan-driven montage to their song Happy Days. Fans of the band can vote now at vma.mtv.com.
blink-182’s latest album NINE is out now on Columbia Records / Sony Music Australia and includes singles I Really Wish I Hated You, Darkside, Happy Days, Generational Divide and Blame It On My Youth.
Since their humble beginnings in 1992 in San Diego, blink-182 have sold over fifty million albums worldwide and rocked audiences around the globe, becoming one of the defining and inspirational rock bands of their generation.
“it’s got swagger and vibrancy by the truckload and kept me hooked from go to whoa” – Declan Byrne, triple j
“Creature Fear are a band that are bound to make you sing, spin and grin along to their incredible, energy-ridden sound.” – The AU Review
“With even more to come, it wouldn’t be too far-out to say that Creature Fear are stepping forward as an act you’ll probably become well-familiar with in the year ahead.” – Pilerats
Melbourne based garage rock band Creature Fear release new stop motion video for single, ‘Little Fishes.’ Inspired by the single artwork, the clip is comprised of 2,500 frames hand drawn by the band, with each drawing cut out individually. The entire video took a full week to complete.
“We were in the final stages of planning the ‘Little Fishes’ music video and were within a week of shooting. However, due to the COVID-19 restrictions and lock down, we had to quickly change our plans and strategy. Jason had previously suggested animation but it seemed like something so out of reach. With not many options and lots of extra time on our hands due to lock down, we quickly re adjusted.”
The band did some trial runs, developed a proof of concept, a story board and jumped straight in. They used books, crates and a plank of wood from the garden to prop up a ring light. They then taped an iPhone into place above a large white notebook which became the background.
“We drew everything individually and cut it all out by hand. With each frame we moved each piece that was on the page. We approached each section like a scene and roughly planned out the movements and beats. A lot of the time we played the scenes out as we were creating them, finding little moments we could play with and that gave us a giggle.”
Following a series of independently released triple j approved singles, 2019 proved to be a breakout year for Creature Fear. Sharing the stage with major acts including Ball Park Music, a run of tour dates with Kingswood, supporting heavy hitters; Boo Seeka, Killing Heidi, The Delta Riggs & Tired Lion as well as selling out headline shows for the launch of singles ‘Baby Love Me’ & breakthrough gem, ‘Makeup’.
This success led to further milestones in Creature Fear’s history to date which included festival appearances at New Year’s Eve on the Hill 2019, Beyond the Valley Festival 2019 & St Kilda Fest in the summer of 2020. This year they were set to perform alongside BOO SEEKA at The Drive-In concert series which were unfortunately cancelled due to COVID-19.
Renowned for their theatrical, leg-spasming live show which brings back the exciting energy of a 60’s rock n roll crowd wanting to dance the night away, Creature Fear blends the manic old-time fun and excitement with the sleekness of modern-day music to perfection.
With big aspirations, huge plans and no signs of slowing down, be prepared for 2020 to be the year of Creature Fear.

London!
I started playing music mainly because I was gagging for a creative outlet! I spent a lot of time waiting to be given permission to use my voice. I find that energy can often manifest into something quite negative if it goes untapped. So it was a way of helping my mental health. Plus, singing always terrified me and I kinda relish doing something that frightens me!
I’ve been writing and listening and experimenting. Also doing a lot of online gigs but now I’m back to doing it IRL! (Socially distanced of course)
It’s a song about how brave decisions (which are terrifying and so hard to make) can lead to something great.
I wrote it in about half an hour one very warm, sunny evening. I was accompanied by a vodka elderflower and my very fat and messy notebook. Usually when I hit on something I like I write very quickly before it leaves my brain!
Luckily I have a very patient team behind me. I like a super chill atmosphere. Usually I’m sat on the floor with a marmite sandwich waiting to be told what to do!
Currently hooked on Call Of Duty, reading and evening bike rides. I also find cooking so relaxing and fun. I made my first pie the other day. I was more proud of that than any song release.
Lots of Edith Piaf, Beatles, Matt Maeson and my lovely friend Grace Grundy.
Lots more writing and growing. I’m excited to see where it takes me.
Too many to choose just one!
Fiin Teams Up With Brigado Crew and Jinadu for Driving, Dark Progressive Single “Still In The Storm”
Title: Still In The Storm
Label: Ultra Records
Release date: August 07, 2020
Miami artist Fiin returns to Ultra Records with “Still In The Storm,” his next single on the label in collaboration with Argentinian duo Brigado Crew and British singer Jinadu. Fiin‘s underground influenced style manifests in deep, driving basslines formed from a classic “four on the floor” rhythm. “Still In The Storm” is the kind of track that is right at home in dark basement clubs or intimate techno festival stages. Haunting vocals from Jinadu and shaker-infused melodies bring an otherworldly element to “Still In The Storm,” making this dark progressive gem with depth a sophisticated production. Fiin previously released on Ultra Records multiple times, including his debut single on the label “Calling Out” also with Jinadu, while Brigado Crew has released on Stil vor Talent, Diynamic, Katermukke, and more.
Fiin has been taking the Miami electronic music scene by storm as one of its youngest and most promising up-and-comers. His weekly “Relic” party at 1-800-Lucky every Sunday had become a staple in the community and served as a closing ceremony to the city’s vibrant music scene. He cut his teeth as the youngest resident of Heart Nightclub. He played alongside some world-class DJs, including the opportunities to go b2b with Paco Osuna, Butch, Hot Since 82, Technasia, and more. In 2019 he played gigs through North America, Europe, and South America at BPM Festival, WMC, Lost Circus, to name a few. Known for his daredevil, risk-taking production style, we have no doubt that this is only the beginning of a very exciting journey for Fiin.
Title: Mixtape 3
Label: BROHOUSE
BROHUG boys are back with a special gift for fans in the form of their four-track “Mixtape 3,” which is full of the bass-heavy house vibes the Swedish trio is known and loved for. The full-length release features already released “Breach,” “Charge,” and “Escape,” all of which pack in shuffle-worthy beats and dirty synths, in addition to the brand new work “Stealth.” It delivers deep, driving bass that is sure to make your feet move, even if you’re listening from your living room speakers, and perfectly rounds out the bundle with BROHUG‘s signature sound. They made all the tracks from the EP entirely during the beginning of worldwide lockdown and are now giving it to their fans as a way to lift spirits during the pandemic. The “Mixtape 3” EP is the latest in BROHUG‘s series, following chapters 1 and 2 as well as their earlier releases “Gold On My Crown,” featuring Born I and “1990” with Kaskade.
“The ‘Mixtape‘ series continues with #3; a concept which we wanted to focus on in 2020, releasing crates of new music to move the dancefloors. While we all expected to be partying together this year, a different hand was dealt. The 4 tracks featured on Mixtape 3 were made during the beginning of shutdowns around the world, and we wanted them to represent and inspire the strength music can provide during crazy times. At times of uncertainty, sometimes the best thing we can do is listen to music, dance, and forget about the outside world, if only for a moment.” – BROHUG
Regardless of their satirical stage name, BROHUG is not here to play games. Since John Dahlbäck and the Lunde brothers formed BROHUG in 2016, the trio has worked with Ghastly, remixed Steve Angello, and released on labels such as Confession, Spinnin’ Records, Dim Mak, Musical Freedom, and their label BROHOUSE. In 2019, their release schedule was packed with relentless hit after hit. Virtually unrivaled, their touring has been intense since the start. BROHUG has really put their name out, with sets on festivals like Ultra Music Festival in Miami and Tomorrowland in Belgium, touring Australia and several tours in the US and Asia. Even a global pandemic can’t keep BROHUG down, so keep an eye out for what’s next for this talented trio!
