R3HAB explores uncharted sonic territory on "Bésame (I Need You)," his sultry new collaboration with singer/actress TINI and Latin GRAMMY-winning Latin Pop trio Reik. We quickly find out what happens when three powerhouses of this magnitude come together, as the track subtly fuses exquisite elements of each one's signature sound. R3HAB delivers his deep, driving drum bass lines that serve as the backbone of the song, asking listeners to get up and dance, while Reik's influence plays with Latin-infused melodies that give "Bésame (I Need You)" exotic appeal. Platinum-certified TINI and Reik come together for a female/male vocal group, evoking images of a balmy and enthralling night out dancing. The single is out now on Hollywood Records and follows R3HAB's releases "Feel Alive" for "SCOOB!" movie's soundtrack as well as "Be Okay" with HRVY. "Right after we started working on the song, it was clear what the sound of the track will be like. Tini & Reik brought the perfect energy, which you can hear throughout the entire song. "Besame (I Need You)" is being released right in time to provide these necessary summer vibes to our fans." - R3HAB "I am so excited to work with Reik and Rehab. I find it very interesting to explore new musical styles, and Bésame definitely has a special sound, distinctive from other songs. I feel very honored to collaborate with these two great artists." - TINI "We love the song. It's super energetic, it makes one dance and have fun all the time. It's one of those songs that you really just wanna jump to. Looking back, we remember meeting TINI at a concert in Argentina when she was 15, or so. It's crazy now having the song together with her. About R3HAB, we just recently met him, and we love what he does. He already remixed our earlier single "Si Me Dices Que Si," and it blew our mind, as he took the song to another dimension. Collaborating with R3HAB again is awesome" - Reik Over the last eight years, the Dutch/Moroccan artist Fadil El Ghoul - better known as R3HAB - has established himself as a leader at the forefront of modern electronic music. His talent has been called the "future of the craft" by the likes of Forbes and Billboard, and he's circuited the globe's best clubs and festivals, all without the backing of a formal record label. In 2017, R3HAB independently released his debut album "Trouble" through his imprint CYB3RPVNK, which amassed over a half-billion streams globally and officially placed R3HAB among electronic music's heavy hitters. He made number 14 on DJ Mag's Top 100 list in 2019, topping the charts with tracks like "Lullaby" and "Hold On Tight," while his sophomore album "The Wave," revealing more complex, emotional and experimental layers of himself, has amassed over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. In 2019 R3HAB's “All Around The World”' with A Touch of Class quickly became his biggest ever record already topping 200M streams across platforms and achieving gold & platinum status in 8 countries. It was followed by "Flames," R3HAB's collaboration with ZAYN. Since her 2016 debut album, TINI has become a global phenomenon, with a social following of 24 million and 3 billion combined audio and video streams. TINI toured Europe and Latin America on her headline "Quiero Volver" tour in 2019/2020, including 9 sold-out Luna Park shows in Buenos Aires. TINI's most recent releases include "Recuerdo" (99 million combined streams), "Oye" (301 million combined streams), Gold-certified "Fresa" (379 million streams), and Platinum-certified "22" (365 million combined streams.) TINI has had numerous collaborations with fellow A-list artists, including Sebastian Yatra, Karol G, Morat, Greeicy, Cali y El Dandee, Mau & Ricky, Alesso, Jonas Blue, Alvaro Soler, Ovy on the Drums, Nacho and The Vamps. TINI will also be joining Alejandro Sanz as a judge on the upcoming season of THE VOICE (La Voz) in Spain, airing later this year. Multi-platinum and award-winning group Reik is made up of band members Jesus Navarro (vocals), Julio Ramirez (acoustic guitar), and Bibi Marin (electric guitar). With a career spanning over 15 years, Reik are the most listened to Mexican band in the world. Reik’s top singles include “Aleluya” (110 + million audio streams), “Indeciso” (145 + million audio streams), “Me Niego” (575 + million audio streams), “Duele” (52 + million audio streams), “Amigos con Derechos” (337 + million audio streams), “Creo En Ti” (187 + million audio streams) and “Ya Me Entere” (421 + million audio streams.) Reik has a social following of over 45 million and appear courtesy of Sony Music Mexico.

written by the partae

GAWP returns to Heldeep Records with his brand-new mystical banger ‘Moon’. A stunning result of a lifetime spent in the studio perfecting his craft, ‘Moon’ is another stunning GAWP production completed with a bouncy baseline, distorted kicks, electrifying elements and enchanting vocals. The blend of his signature unique sounds proves that GAWP has found his area of expertise and is here to stay.

A spine-tingling intro charged with cosmic ambience showcases a distinct female voice, demanding a celestial voyage, to create the perfect stellar sensation. A thrilling snare roll backed by throbbing synths and looped vocals leads toward a dramatic drop that keeps on giving. With a dark bassline, kinetic samples, and galactic synths little else is needed to see this track secure a prime spot among dance music enthusiasts.

After releasing two tracks on Heldeep Records last year, GAWP’s latest opus ‘Moon’ is a perfect follow-up to his already unique and well-established sounds. It proves that GAWP’s relentless pursuit of perfection rewards.

‘Moon’ is out now on Heldeep Records!

Then, sure enough, the melodies worm their way deeper into your head, you notice little nuances, and the songs prove themselves to be more enduring and bulletproof than you could’ve previously imagined." – Stereogum "Our new album Sideways to New Italy is out today. It feels strange releasing music with so much happening in the world right now, but we couldn’t be more proud and excited. This is a hopeful record, true to the people and places that shaped us.

Rolling Blackouts C.F.   Today Ivy League Records are thrilled to release Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s triumphant second album, Sideways to New Italy – a stunning return for the Melbourne five-piece. Featuring tracks ‘She’s There’, ‘Cars In Space’, ‘Falling Thunder’ & the anthemic, ‘Cameo’ – Sideways To New Italy shows Rolling Blackouts C.F. at the peak of their powers; a timeless record that’s universal yet threaded through with personal histories, born of dislocation but with a distinct geographic identity.  To coincide with the album release is the announcement of new single ‘Cameo’, which begins with open guitar strums and Fran Keaney's lone voice, before building to a swirling roar – a stellar showcase of the band’s instrumental and lyrical prowess.   “This is a love song. It’s about reaching through time portals,” says Keaney. “The lyrics were pieced together over about a year like a little puzzle. I found the first pieces in Rushworth, and the last pieces in Darwin.” Sideways to New Italy is set to follow in the footsteps of the band’s internationally acclaimed debut album, Hope Downs (2018), with praise for STNI coming in from MOJO (4/5), Dork (4/5), Upset (5/5), Uncut (9/10), Rough Trade’s ‘Album of the Month’, The Music’s Album Of The Week + more to be announced.  The eponymous New Italy is a village near New South Wales’s Northern Rivers – the area Tussie is from. A blink-and-you'll-miss-it pit-stop of a place with fewer than 200 residents, it was founded by Venetian immigrants in the late-1800s and now serves as something of a living monument to Italians' contribution to Australia, with replica Roman statues dotted like souvenirs on the otherwise rural landscape. The parallel between these remnants of home and the band's own attempts to maintain connections and create familiarity during their disorienting time on the road were not lost on Russo. “These are the expressions of people trying to find home somewhere alien, in someone else’s land. Trying to create utopia in an imperfect world.”   In addition to the specific town, the songs on the record exist variably in Melbourne (‘Beautiful Steven’), Los Angeles (‘The Cool Change’), Darwin (‘Cameo’), the tiny town of Rushworth (‘Not Tonight’) and the driver's seat of a car at a drive-in movie (‘Cars in Space’). Rolling Blackouts C.F are well-versed in a detailed and cinematic style of songwriting, where landscapes, interactions and memories materialise as characters and stories that reflect the tight, swirling guitars that emote alongside the trio's voices.

GUARD releases video for Wine ‘N Die

by the partae June 5, 2020
written by the partae

“With his enterprising nature, and some serious production chops, we can see Guard doing pretty well for himself.”
– Tone Deaf

”…a trippy electro-pop wonderland”
– Music Feeds

“The future of pop music is here, so jump on board early”
– Pilerats

Following the release of his single earlier this year, Guard makes a return with a colourful yet sombre clip for ‘Wine N Die’, premiered via Purple Sneakers.

Directed by LA-based director Gianfranco Svagelj, the music video cleverly plays on the dark lyrics of the track, showing the raw side of mental health, whilst juxtaposing with bright colours and kaleidoscopic visuals. Gianfranco explains: “This is our third project together and I’m excited because there is no better time frame for this to be released as so many of us not only are struggling with this pandemic and being stuck at home but also dealing with the ups and downs of social media and the effects it can have on our moods, feelings and mental health.”

The video, in particular, explores the duality of Guard’s character; an online personality with a large following, but also the vulnerability of a man trying to navigate mental health and precarious relationships.

“‘Wine N Die’ is a look behind the scenes of me trying to look cool online while secretly self-destructing. I think we all to a certain extent use social media to portray a heightened version of ourselves. Its offers an escape from this apocalyptic situation. But it’s important to keep your habits in check & look after your mental well being… you don’t have to pretend to be okay like I have in the past,” says Guard.

His latest release ‘Gaslight’ premiered via triple’s unearthed TOPS and online via Cool Accidents, praise from PAPER Magazine and support nationally across community radio. His past singles ‘Pineapple Express’ has amassed over 3 million streams and ‘Phantom’, ‘Wine N Die’ and ‘Martyr’ have been added to Spotify editorial playlists Chill af, Study Zone, Indie Arrivals & Pop Edge.

Watch the new music video for ‘Wine N Die’ is OUT NOW.
Guard’s debut album The Identified Patient is out Fri 26 June.

SUPPORT FOR 'NERVOUS BREAKDOWN' "It's timely and brilliant, and with plenty more on the way, we can't help but feel this is going to be another decade lush with the charm and excitement of one of Australia's best bands, ten years after their journey all started." - Pilerats (AUS) Aussie indie legends Philadelphia Grand Jury have returned with their endearing new single ‘Nervous Breakdown’ – produced and mixed by frontman Simon Berckelman (The Internet, Lime Cordiale, Dune Rats) and mastered by Brian Lucey (The Black Keys, Lana Del Ray). Dripping with their trademark charm, ‘Nervous Breakdown’ is two minutes and thirty seconds of soaring feel-good indie-rock. Opening with bouncing vocoder and driving bass, punctured by the captivating vocals of Berckelman, the track playfully weaves intricate guitar riffs and vibrant percussion, before the bridge hastens the track towards its satisfying conclusion. Simon talks about the meaning behind ‘Nervous Breakdown’: “Just to be clear, we wrote this song about a year ago, right when the world was heading full charge into oblivion without even realising it. Of course, it seems perfect for it to be coming out right now and I’m cool with that. I guess the song is a combo of that anxiety only being in love can really create and how that gets mixed up with everything else into a big old crazy blender. At the same time as getting it all off my chest, I can’t help but ask myself if it’s valid and if anyone else even has any interest in hearing about it? Am I simply lucky to have the time to be preoccupied with my own inner most feelings? Other people have to dig holes, drive buses, that kind of thing”. The band’s debut album ‘Hope Is For Hopers’ reached No. 34 on the ARIA Album Charts and was nominated for a J Award. Single ‘Going to the Casino’ won an AIR award for ‘Best Independent Single or EP’, with triple j Unearthed awarding them a slot in 2009’s Big Day Out. This support continued with single ‘The Good News’ also coming in at No. 57 in the that year’s triple j’s Hottest 100, and a performance on the station’s iconic segment Like a Version. In the live arena the trio have sold out multiple national headline tours and performed with contemporaries Franz Ferdinand, Manchester Orchestra, Megan Washington and Art vs Science, as well as playing world renowned festivals The Great Escape (UK), Live At Leeds (UK), Splendour in the Grass, Laneway Festival, Big Day Out and Falls Festival. The trio’s releases have been widely embraced by Apple Music, NME (UK), Clash (UK), Sydney Morning Herald, The Daily Telegraph, The Age, Channel V, Music Feeds, The Music and a host of others. They’ve also seen extensive support from Australian radio stations triple j, Double J, triple j Unearthed, FBi Radio and community radio. In the coming weeks Philadelphia Grand Jury will announce new tour dates and reveal an accompanying music video for ‘Nervous Breakdown’. ‘Nervous Breakdown’ is available worldwide now through Normal People Making Hits Click to stream 'Nervous Breakdown'

Western Australian singer songwriter Paige Valentine reveals her first single of 2020 with the stunning new track ‘Pure’ + live hometown launch

Paige Valentine is back with a stunning new single ‘Pure’, her first release for 2020. Co-written with renowned songwriter Matt Gresham and produced by The Money War’s Dylan Ollivierre, the song is a hauntingly soulful track that perfectly showcases Paige’s exquisite vocal range. “I think the real key has been writing from the heart,” says Paige of the single. “Letting my voice go where it wants to.”

Out today, ‘Pure’ marks an exciting new direction and style for the newly Fremantle-based musician, following a move away from her hometown of Margaret River. Opening with a sparsity that allows Paige’s exquisite vocals to take the floor, ‘Pure’ unfolds in gradual layers of synths, keys, and delicate harmonies, soundtracking an intimate and personal journey back to love.

“Pure was written on a winter’s afternoon while visiting my friend and fellow writer, Matt Gresham. I was beginning to witness a number of friends’ long term relationships being tested and drew a bit on personal experience, when two people who love each other seem to drift apart chasing different dreams, or going through hardships, or just generally changing as people. Matt already had the chords ready to go, I ad-libbed the first verse and chorus while he was playing guitar. We both knew we were onto something really special and something that really hit a nerve, Matt even asked if I wanted to continue writing it – it was intense. We finished the song half an hour later…vulnerable, personal, challenging songwriting. I went to Sydney and did some pre-production with Billy Otto, before returning to Fremantle and finishing the single with Dylan Ollivierre (The Money War). Pure is about trying to remember why you love someone and wanting to get back to that innocence of when you fell in love.” – Paige Valentine

Though still early in her career, accolades have started piling up for Paige, who is already a five-time WAM Award nominee and Vanda & Young International Song Competition finalist. Flattering as this may be, Valentine’s motivation is purely her music. To write the best songs she can, and deliver them with honesty and tenacity. Paige Valentine shows no signs of slowing down in 2020, with another single already in the works and hints of an EP on the way. To launch the release of ‘Pure’, Paige will be celebrating with a special intimate live hometown show at Feld & Co. A Tiny Spaces Event on Thursday 11 June.

THE CASANOVAS LAUNCH NEW SINGLE “RED HOT” AND ANNOUNCE FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM “REPTILIAN OVERLORD”, PRODUCED BY MARK OPITZ

by the partae June 5, 2020
written by the partae

Today is the day. A red letter day. A red hot letter day. It is the day that Melbourne rockers, The Casanovas, release their new single ‘Red Hot’ and announce their forthcoming album ‘Reptilian Overlord’ – out August 28.

Last year, with a set of great new material, the re-tooled Casanovas hit the studio with iconic Oz rock producer Mark Opitz (AC/DC, The Angels, Cold Chisel, The Divinyls) to record a new album. The Casanovas provided the first taste from the upcoming album late last year when they released their first new music in over four years with popular single ‘Hollywood Riot’.

This new single ‘Red Hot’ proves to live up to its name, with James “The Hound Dog” Young, owner of the iconic Cherry Bar in the boys’ hometown calling ‘Red Hot’ “another scorcher”. “It’s like they’ve captured all my favourite rock acts – Cheap Trick, Stones, Kiss, ZZ Top & AC/DC, and crammed them all into their own jar of Vegemite” he proclaims.

The Casanovas will launch the single this Saturday Night at 8PM (AEST), with a live-streamed performance from Melbourne venue Musicland. Details here.

‘Red Hot’ revels in everything that fans have come to know and love about The Casanovas, and it shows the impact of Opitz, who was involved in many of the band’s favourite albums like Powerage and Face To Face. As Casanovas bassist Damo Campbell says, “Mark is the master at miking for great guitar tones. He definitely brought some of those techniques into our sessions…  It was also pretty inspiring to be in the studio hearing some of Mark’s stories of some of the great rock bands he has worked with over his career.”

Singer/guitarist Tommy Boyce credits legendary Brit blues rockers Free as an influence on ‘Red Hot’. Free’s rock-solid, soulful groove had a huge influence on Tommy during the writing of this song. “I was enjoying those big riffs that have heaps of space in between chords,” says Tommy. “That kind of tough, unhurried swagger.”

Swagger is something that these guys have in spades. Although they got caught up in the early 21st-century rock mania, The Casanovas always had deeper roots and a natural ease. Hailing from the Live Rock’n’Roll Capital of the Universe – Melbourne – The Casanovas were a merging of two great local traditions –punk rock’n’roll and Oz Rock – and they had a twinkle in their eye and brought a youthful freshness to both when they appeared at the start of the century.

‘Red Hot’ is available on all platforms now, along with its B-Side, ‘St Kilda is Fucked’, a heartfelt (albeit cheeky) denunciation of the one-time jewel of Melbourne’s South; once a rock’n’roll haven, now gentrified. It’s not going to win them any new fans in their old stomping ground but might raise a smile amongst some of their old ones.

‘Red Hot’ is out today and available here:

The Casanovas’ 5th studio album Reptilian Overlord is out August 28 and is now available to pre-order on all formats including limited edition reptilian green vinyl and CD here.

The Casanovas launch ‘Red Hot’ this Saturday Night, June 6 at 8PM (AEST), with a live-streamed performance from Melbourne venue Musicland. Details here.

The Angels Release New EP 'Under The Stone'

The Angels Release New EP ‘Under The Stone’

by the partae June 5, 2020
written by the partae

This is it, folks – The Angels 2020. 44 years after their first release, The Angels have released their new EP, Under The Stone. Their first new material in six years, this is a band that’s still raging with the energy and intensity of an act that’s just starting out.

Under The Stone is classic Angels, the band that Jimmy Barnes said “changed Australian music forever”. There are few more glorious sounds in Australian music than the blistering guitar attack of the Brewster brothers.

The title track ‘Under The Stone’ came to The Angels’ Rick Brewster in a dream, “I’d been messing around with a number of slower tunes and felt the urge to write a full-on riff-based track,” he explains. “It was one of those ‘wake up in the middle of the night, I’ve got to record this riff before I forget it’ episodes.”

Under The Stone shows many sides to The Angels, it’s not all about their classic guitar sound. Drummer Nick Norton assumes lead vocal duties on two tracks – ‘Escape’ and ‘Leaders of Men’ – and ‘Heart to Heart’ is “an unashamed nod to Pink Floyd”. With a powerful vocal by Dave Gleeson, it’s a moving song about child sexual abuse and the innocent victims that are left behind.

‘Escape’ resonates with the crazy times we find ourselves in. “I wrote ‘Escape’ years ago, not as a pandemic lament but as a tale of world weariness,” Nick explains. He imagined the song would be classic Angels: riff-driven hard rock. But it took a surprising left turn with John responsible for the music and became “perhaps more Bob Dylan than Angels”.

Then there’s the epic celebration of the history of blues and rock, ‘Blue Blood’, which the Brewster Brothers wrote with former Guns N’ Roses manager Alan Niven. It’s no surprise that Niven is a fan, with Axl Rose on record as saying, “one of the main reasons this band [Guns N’ Roses] got together was a song called ‘Take A Long Line’”.

Under The Stone shows that The Angels remain a potent force. Live on stage. And on record. Under the glitter. Under the Stone.

Mr. Bungle Release ‘USA’ Single (The Exploited Cover) And Limited Edition Shirt, With 100% Of Proceeds Donated To MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund

by the partae June 5, 2020
written by the partae

THE EXPLOITED COVER MARKS THE BAY AREA BAND’S FIRST RECORDED MUSIC SINCE 1999

“They keep their secrets undercover
The rich don’t bother about those that suffer
This ain’t the land of milk and honey
Cause all they want is money money money”

– The Exploited
Mr. Bungle roar back with their first recorded music since 1999, releasing a blistering cover of The Exploited’s politically-charged anthem, ‘USA’, available now on all digital platforms via Ipecac Recordings/Liberator Music HERE.

The Bay Area band, whose current incarnation features original members Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton and Trey Spruance with Scott Ian (Anthrax, S.O.D) and Dave Lombardo (Dead Cross, ex-Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies), is donating 100% of the proceeds from both the song and a limited edition t-shirt to the MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund, through the 4th of July. The shirt, which will only be offered through Independence Day, is available exclusively via Mr. Bungle’s webstore HERE.

MusiCares’ COVID-19 Relief Fund was created by The Recording Academy® to help those within the music community who have been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

“Doesn’t matter what part of the political spectrum you are on, everyone at some point has said ‘Fuck the USA’. The closest thing we have to a universal sentiment,” says Spruance.

“This is a song that resonates and speaks to the country that Ipecac calls home,” adds Ipecac Recordings Co-owner Greg Werckman, who will also be donating the label’s proceeds from the single.

“Over 100,000 US citizens are dead from the pandemic. At the same time protective masks have turned into a political football and no one has a grasp on testing. Racism continues to rear its ugly head. Police brutality spikes, unemployment spikes, depression spikes and ‘our’ ego driven elected officials don’t seem to care. We need to do a better job of looking out for each other. MusiCares looks after all of us in the music community.”

Limited edition Mr. Bungle ‘USA’ shirt
Mr. Bungle surprised fans last Autumn when they announced a trio of The Raging Wrath of The Easter Bunny performances for February of this year. The dates, which eventually grew to seven sold out performances across Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco, were the first time the Eureka, California born band had performed in nearly 20 years and the first time the outfit had played the songs on their self-produced 1986 demo in 30+ years.

Mr. Bungle recently wrapped up re-recording the originally cassette only eight-song demo, with Dunn telling Revolver: “The music from The Raging Wrath, which we wrote when we were 15 and 17 years old, continued to be relevant to us. But the original demo was never fully realized. It was a DIY four-track tape recording fully self-produced by our naive and wandering minds whilst still learning how to play our instruments and understand songwriting at its most basic level… for us, going back to the roots is totally exciting.” A release date has yet to be announced.

KEY OUT “ANTHROPOMORPHIA” ALBUM OUT FRIDAY 26TH JUNE VIA HALF A COW RECORDS

KEY OUT “ANTHROPOMORPHIA” ALBUM OUT FRIDAY 26TH JUNE VIA HALF A COW RECORDS

by the partae June 4, 2020
written by the partae
“Stray”, the second single from Key Out’s forthcoming album “Anthropomorphia” is available Friday 29th May on all digital platforms via Half A Cow Records. 
 

Stray is a change of pace – a wash of attacking guitar, unexpected cross-cutting drums and a contemplation of suburban life, anchored by an insistent post-punk bassline. It finds a place on the sonic spectrum between My Bloody Valentine and Shellac, was recorded by the band and mixed and mastered by Wayne Connolly (Amy Shark, Matt Corby).

The video is a study of small details, finding interest in minutiae. Watch the video here.

 
Key Out will release their second album, Anthropomorphia, on Half A Cow Records, on Friday 26 June 2020. 
 
Anthropomorhia is a bedroom recording featuring acoustic guitars and ageing synthesizers, toy percussion and drums, sequencers and vocal harmonies. It has the intimacy of a home recording, but the polish of Wayne Connolly’s mixing and mastering (Amy Shark, Matt Corby).
 
The home ‘studio’ gave the band the freedom to chop, edit and rearrange original demos and the songs changed. Electronics were swapped out for acoustics, and analog drums for sequencers. Rock songs became electroish-post punk (Chorus), filtered summery pop (Buildings) and close mic’d folk (Dog). 
 
The first single Chorus was playlisted on Double J, made 2SERs best new music list, and was played across Austereo (Rebel Rock FM Qld), ABC Darwin and  community radio across Australia. Doubtful Sounds called Chorus “dark, melancholic and moody synth-rock… bringing to mind acts such as Underground Lovers, Ride and New Order”.  
 
The album’s ten tracks clock in at just over 20 minutes. The longer tracks on Anthropomorphia would have been short on 2019’s What (Do) You See. “We’ve always liked the complete sounding two-minute pop songs of Joyce Manor or Sneeze or The Magnetic Fields or Guided by Voices, but they weren’t our template” says Paddy Haid (ex-Sarah Blasko, Ides of Space)  “we just built songs around the important parts, and let them run their course”.
The album will be available on limited edition marbled vinyl and via digital platforms through Half A Cow. 
The band is looking forward to playing songs from the album live in a reopened world or via digital channels in the near future.
Key Out is Paddy Haid, Rohan Geddes and Caroline Wake.
“a mesmerising mix of post-punk instrumentation, wrapped up in a slick two-and-a-half minute package that truly commands your attention.” Tone Deaf on “Stray” 
 
“a delightful shimmering piece that seems soaked in nostalgia and an air of satisfying wistfulness.” Back Seat Mafia on “Stray” 
 
“That bassline, those synths, the sharpness of the guitars, the vocal delivery; if you’re a fan of post-punk and atmospheric indie rock, you’ll love this new single from Sydney’s Key Out.” Double J on “Chorus” 
 
“dark, melancholic and moody synth-rock… bringing to mind acts such as Underground Lovers, Ride and New Order”. Doubtful Sounds on “Chorus”

GEM Festival brings together Artists, DJ’s and ravers in a breathtaking location. Drawing on acts from the full spectrum of electronic sounds this year’s edition can reveal the first wave of acts. Blending mainstage headliners like ATB, Paul Van Dyk and Swanky Tunes with the next generation of headliners Romeo Blanco, CJ JEFF, The YellowHeads. Alongside underground leaning acts such as Lamine, dOP (Live), Onur Ozer as well as respected local talent K.Atou, George Seragos and Mr. Roussos. With only 50% of the line up announced so far there’s plenty more to come, and with previous editions line ups anything to go by you can expect Big Room, Techno, House and Minimal artists to follow ensuring all tastes are covered.
Now in its 5th edition Gem Festival brings its considerable experience to the fore having previously hosted the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Luciano, Solomun, Paul Kalkbrenner, Axwell & Ingrosso, Fedde Le Grand, Steve Aoki, Boris Brejcha, Stephan Bodzin, Anja Snijder, David August, Mano Le Tough, Tales of Us, Dubfire + alongside many others, so you know there is a more still to be revealed…
With picturesque white sandy beaches, clear blue seas, you can get lost in your own adventure when taking a break from the festival. immerse yourself in the Mediterranean lifestyle indulging in fine food, wine. A short journey across the water takes you to the mystical island of Marathonisi, where Turtles hatch. The National Marine park allows you to explore enchanting protected wildlife. Inland you can hike in Askos Stone Park, a stunning expanse of nature and local wildlife. Or discover the local history in the surrounding towns and villages.
For accommodation options we offer our tent city which we call “harmony village” , besides that Zakynthos has plenty of options of accomodation, from hostel dorms to luxury villas and even luxury yachts floating next to the festival. During the three days and nights we provide free buses to the venue. Starting from the airport, ports and the different resorts along the coast line, ensuring you can travel safely to and from GEM. With regular international flights, 7 daily ferries from Athens and Greece open to travelers from the 15th of June, Zakynthos is easily accessible.
 For those returning to us, the new festival location will retain the spirit and unique sense of togetherness that can only be found at GEM. And for  those joining us for the first time this edition of our festival is the most inspiring and exciting in memory, one which can never be forgotten.

Stunning New Film ‘This is Ibiza’ Takes You Deep Into the Dance Music Capital of the World

by the partae June 4, 2020
written by the partae
This is Ibiza is a brand new and behind the scenes look at Ibiza, out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime. The sun soaked Balearic Island is the dance music capital of the world, where hedonism and world class clubbing experiences collide in a place of stunning natural beauty. Three years in the making by Directors Jody Hall and Mindaugas Volkis and hosted by Jermaine Whitehead-Bailey, you can watch a trailer for the movie here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN–xj_ii9k&feature=youtu.be
This is Ibiza is a unique window into a fantasy-like paradise that really conveys the magic of the island, how it became what it is and what it is like to be there. This immersive and authentic new film will take you on a special tour to one of the most famous (and infamous) islands in the entire world, where an extraordinary mix of night-life hedonism and spiritual evolution create a unique culture of dance, music and love.
With its mega clubs, breathtaking villas, once in a lifetime nights out, white sand beaches, world famous sunset parties and woodland hideaways, Ibiza has got a lot of negative press and media exposure, good and bad, over the years. This new film has a firm focus on the ever present spirit of freedom, love and music that made the electronic music explosion possible here, and then around the world. The White Isle is where it all started and is one of the few places on the planet where diversity does not bring conflict. All people are in harmony and truly coexist in true harmony. 
This fascinating new film consists of insightful interviews with the owners of the biggest brands and venues here as well as the new businesses. The likes of Elrow, Defected, Pacha, O Beach Ibiza, Chuckie, The Zoo Project, Sam Divine, Marco V, Darius Syrossian, Nick Warren, Lovely Laura, Eden Ibiza, Ibiza Club News, Café del Mar Ibiza, ANANESWORLD, DJ Sneak, Judge Jules, Pikes Ibiza and many more all feature.
There are also voices such as the locals, upcoming DJs, music loving clubbers and the VIP clientele who have all been involved in Ibiza’s evolution and rich story over the years. Interviews are illustrated with the activities inside the clubs, retreats, nature, boat trips and plenty more to give a real sense of history past and present. The whole film has a majestic melodic house vibe and the majority of the documentary soundtrack comes from talented Scottish producer and Ibiza resident James iD.
This is Ibiza is out to rent or buy June 5th on Amazon Prime with a launch party on June 5th at Sunset Ibiza in San Antonio.

Where are you currently based? I'm back and forth from Toronto and Melbourne  How did you first start playing music? I was DJing for my dorm room and the wider building and then started chucking in mashups and remixes in my sets. What's been happening recently? Working tirelessly on my next project which comes out at the end of the year. Seriously, can't wait to share this one  Your new single ‘Reasons' Featuring Jalmar is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting for this track? This song actually started as a demo for another producer who wasn't vibing the track, so I took back my vocals and built a whole new beat around it. It was about an 11 month process from initial concept to what you hear now. How did you go about writing Reasons? A cup of coffee, pen and paper and a couple of hours.  Where and when did you record/produce? I record all my songs in my studio at my house.  How did you approach the recording/production process? When I'm producing, I usually start with the drums and rhythm then figure out the chords and harmonies, doing this after the drums always helps determine what sort of mood I'm trying to set for the record. What programs/equipment did you use? - Logic Pro X (DAW) - EVE Audio SC205 Monitors - Focusrite ISO One Preamp - Shure SM7B Microphone How did you come to work with Jalmar? We were introduced by a mutual friend who thought we'd work well together Where can we listen? Search 'Jordan Astra' and you'll find me on Youtube, Spotify, Twitter, the works :) What do you like to do away from music? I love working out, staying fit and healthy, spending time with my wife, family and friends.  Who are you listening to at the moment? Lucky Daye, Kehlani, Justin Bieber, Drake What's planned for the remainder of 2020? Wait for COVID to finish and start travelling. I had a 20 City tour planned in the US so it'd be good to get back on the road! Favourite food and place to hangout? You can find me at Friends of Ours on the weekends, best spot locally.  IG/Twitter @wolfgangastra Facebook @jordanastra Youtube @rollersrights
