Radical Redemption releases his most personal album โ€˜No Retaliation, Part 1: The Soloโ€™sโ€™

by the partae February 1, 2024
written by the partae

PRE-SAVE/STREAM โ€˜NO RETALIATION, PART 1โ€ THE SOLOโ€™Sโ€™ HERE

Amsterdam, datum โ€“ The wait is over! Radical Redemption finally releases the first album of his most personal project up to date. With โ€˜No Retaliation, Part 1: The Soloโ€™sโ€™ the Dutch hardstyle DJ closes off a hard period filled with loss and grief and makes his first steps towards a brighter future. The album contains 12 brand new tracks including his recently released single โ€˜Wonโ€™t Bow Downโ€™.

Even though Radical Redemption is one of the most loved DJโ€™s in the scene he went through a rough period the last couple of years. Being a DJ/producer for more than a decade, his career was an accumulation of success and highlights until a few years ago. Corona kicked in, he ended the collaboration with his booking agency and label after more than 10 years resulting in a long lawsuit but the most impact on his life and career was of course the loss of his father in 2021. Somehow Radical Redemption managed to turn all this into something positive thanks to his music and fans!

With the release of โ€˜No Retaliation, Part 1: The Soloโ€™sโ€™ on January the 26th Radical Redemption is back stronger than ever. The album is part of a trilogy that embodies everything Radical Redemption stands for. Working on the project for three years was and emotional and personal journey in which Radical Redemption grew a lot as an artist and producer. โ€˜The Soloโ€™sโ€™ will be followed by the release of ‘The Collabs’ and ‘The Orchestra of Eternity’ later this year. Together the three albums form a tribute to Radical Redemptions late father and creative partner/sounding board. The albums are connected through their artwork, which all contain one letter that together from the word โ€˜DADโ€™. With this tribute he hopes to put this difficult period behind him and focus on a bright future full of music.

In a personal message to his fans Radical Redemption explains the following:

โ€œBefore you lies the most personal album I have produced in my career. It tells my story, a story of loss, uncertainty, change and mental challenges. But also a story of strength, determination and perseverance. Life happened to me, just like it will happen to any other human being.

Losing my dad in the summer of 2021 had a huge impact on my life.

At the end of 2022 I decided to leave my bookings-agency & music label after 10 years, unfortunately their response was not as expected.

I was removed from line-ups, erased from playlists, they seized my house, my bank accountโ€ฆ.

โ€ฆbut what do you do when this happens to you? Be afraid, hold back, run away, or stand-up and fight? The fire inside me was ignited like never before, I knew, I will get out of this stronger & better. The music basically wrote itself, inspiration hit like in the early days.

The importance of looking forward became clear, life is just too short to stay in the past.

I donโ€™t have time to be hateful towards people, because there is too much to be grateful for.

Producing this album allowed me to deal with my emotions, it provided closure.

It helped me to process everything that has happened over the last 3 years.

I can really say, for me there will be no retaliation.

It is time to tell my story. Thank you for your time and listening.โ€

Joey โ€“ Radical Redemption

For the last 3 years, Radical Redemption worked on a new, game changing show – apart from his DJ sets. In October 2023 he launched his worldwide exclusive live-act, โ€˜Radical Redemption & his Orchestra of Eternityโ€™ during a sold-out show in Amsterdam. A once in a lifetime experience, combining the elegance of a 20-piece orchestra with the power of his hard dance music.ย

Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks – Release Evocative Debut Album ‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’

by the partae February 1, 2024
written by the partae

SUPPORT FOR SINGLES OFF ‘THE NIGHTTIME, THE WIND, THE CROCODILE’

“This is the most heartwrenching, stand-in-a-field-and-cry piece of music I’ve heard all year. Will always love hearing what you’ve written.” โ€“ย โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
Pip Rasmussen โ€“ triple j (AUS)

“Davies’ raw Australian lilt still remains centre stage, carrying the narrative of feeling lost and directionless.”
NME (AUS)

“Really loving the tender restraint, the air between the microphones, the gentle melodies and the climactic pay-off towards the end of the song – proof that subtlety goes a long way.” โ€“ย โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…
Colby Robertson โ€“ triple j (AUS)

“Jack Davies is one of the most brilliant songwriters in the country right now.”
Pilerats (AUS)

‘This Highway Is Stained’ added to Spotify’s ‘Chilled Afternoon’

‘Clothes Peg’ added to Apple Music’s ‘indie + chill’

‘Clothes Peg’ added to triple j Unearthed Rotation

Boorloo/Perth-based indie-folk bandย Jack Davies and The Bush Chooksย have just unveiled their alt-country debut album, ‘the nighttime, theย wind, theย crocodile‘ย โ€“ produced by lead vocalistย Jackย Daviesย andย Broderickย Maddenย Scott.

‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’ is an inviting 11-track amalgamationย of nostalgia, mellifluous vocal layers and vintage-filtered instruments. Creating an artful balance between tradition and modern folk, the collection gracefully blankets each track in a sepia-toned haze, seamlessly intertwining threads of the past with the present.

Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks talk about the inspiration behind ‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’:

“‘the nighttime, the wind, the crocodile’ is set in a nighttime scene. A crocodile descends from the sky like an apocalyptic cartoon, hungry for guts. The listener sits below, hands over their ears and their eyes closed. The trees sways, the moon watches. I think the idea of the album is to open your eyes in that scene and witness the crocodile. To remember that morning is around the corner, and darkness around the next. To attempt to keep looking long enough to see the colours shift, the crocodile disappear, reappear; and find beauty in the never-ending psychedelic whirl of fears and changes that we are plunged into as thinking, feeling human beings.”

Focus track ‘Myย Hardย Times‘ and ‘Theย Colours‘ opens the record, resonating with sentiment and vivid imagery, adorned with introspective reflections and compelling storytelling. Singles ‘Clothesย Peg‘ and ‘Thisย Highwayย Isย Stained‘ follow, with acoustic strumming and gentle instrumentation providing a kaleidoscope of sonic hues.

Marking the centre of the compilation, ‘Orangeย Peel‘ย weaves rapid guitar arpeggios and lush strings, incorporating lyrical palettes of memory and ambience. In contrast, ‘You‘veย Gotย Theย Fear‘ย introduces a rich rhythm arrangement, laying the foundation for whispered vocal tales that ebb and flow.

‘Everybody‘sย Looking‘ย and ‘Thinkingย Aboutย Theย Blues‘ further amplify the sonic diversity with retro-infused guitar and strings, evoking a sense of old-timey musicality that crescendos to a captivating climax before ‘Pleasedย Toย Meetย You‘ย follows, providing an intimate sense of comfort.

Closing the release, ‘Youย Deserveย Toย Beย Loved‘ย and ‘Littleย Dog‘ย stand as poignant echoes to the project, painting amber hues that leave a lingering resonance of heartfelt emotion and reflective grace.

Jack Davies and The Bush Chooks were selected asย tripleย j Unearthed‘sย Feature Artist, as well as their music video for the single ‘Halfย Frozenย Beer‘ being featured asย rage‘s ‘Wildย One‘. The band has also won theย WAM Awardย for ‘Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Act‘ forย fourย consecutiveย yearsย since 2020. Their previous releases have garnered widespread recognition onย Spotify,ย Appleย Music,ย tripleย jย andย triple j Unearthed,ย along with support in the blogosphere fromย NME,ย Pilerats,ย The AU Review,ย LivewireAU,ย MILKYย and numerous Australian community radio stations.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2024, 3 DAY x UNTITLED. FINALS FESTIVAL!

by the partae January 31, 2024
written by the partae

The Australian Open Finals Festival, held on the 25th, 27th, and 28th of January, marked the culmination of the 2024 Australian Open in Naarm/Melbourne, delivering an electrifying mix of music, entertainment, and cultural celebration. The festival, organized by Untitled Group, aimed to complement the diverse and multicultural nature of the Australian Open while ensuring it stands as an independent and vibrant event.

The festival’s final day coincided with the Men’s Final, transforming the John Cain Arena into a musical spectacle that drew record-breaking crowds. The atmosphere was nothing short of festive, with marquee dance music acts such as Rudimental and Groove Armada taking the stage. Rudimental, a multicultural UK collective, brought their energetic drum ‘n’ bass hits, celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album “Home.” The crowd was treated to anthems like “Feel The Love,” “Waiting All Night,” and “These Days,” creating an infectious party vibe.

The festival also featured local talents, including Melburnian hotshot Cooper Smith, Samoan-Guringai DJ Latifa Tee, and Melbourne club DJ Sunshine with her Disco Faith Choir. The latter, donned in vibrant costumes, delivered soulful performances, covering songs like Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and The Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On,” infusing an Australian Mardi Gras aesthetic into the music.

Chenai, a gracefully soulful newcomer, took the spotlight, leading Rudimental in their 2023 UK hit “Dancing Is Healing” and introducing an unreleased cover of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn.” The festival reached its climax with Groove Armada, known as ’90s UK dance ambassadors, taking the decks. Their set was a bold mix of classic crossover dance tunes, including Robin S’s “Show Me Love” and Daft Punk’s “One More Time.”

The festival’s success was not just about the music; it reflected the diversity and inclusivity of the Australian Open. From AO Pride Day with LGBTQIA+ artists like Peach PRC and DJ Luv You to the powerhouse performance by Tash Sultana, the festival showcased a wide range of talents. Tash Sultana’s return to the Melbourne stage after five years was a highlight, displaying their instrumental prowess and diverse musical styles.

On the electrifyingย  day of January 27th, the Australian Open Finals Festival dazzled with an exceptional roster of artists, infusing the air with a dynamic and eclectic musical atmosphere. The stage came alive with the captivating performances of Mell Hall, Tia Gostelow, The Jungle Giants, Ruel, and DMA’S. Each artist brought their distinctive flair and infectious energy, weaving together a tapestry of sound that not only defined the festival but also left the audience on a euphoric and unforgettable musical odyssey.

The festival’s evolution from the inaugural AO Finals Festival in 2023 to the upgraded John Cain Arena with double the capacity in 2024 demonstrated its growing popularity. Despite the challenge of rainy weather on AO Pride Day, the production quality remained high, featuring charismatic hosts like drag queen Courtney Act and striking visuals.

The Australian Open Finals Festival has solidified its place as a significant cultural event, not merely a musical satellite of the tennis tournament. It successfully weaves together mainstream and multicultural elements, delivering a unique and vibrant experience that adds an extra layer of joy to “The Happy Slam.” The diverse lineup and dynamic performances underscored the festival’s commitment to inclusivity and entertainment, making it a fitting conclusion to the 2024 Australian Open.

NYC Talent Mark Wolf Makes His Stellar Debut with Dance-R&B Fusion “It Was OK” with R&B Artist Khalil

by the partae January 29, 2024
written by the partae

Artist: Mark Wolf, Khalil
Title: It Was OK
Label: ONErpm

Download / Stream

Mark Wolfย andย Khalilย are two multitalented, dynamic artists who teamed up forย Wolf‘s true debut release – “It Was OK,” a sultry fusion of house music and R&B.ย Markย layers in an upbeat piano with glimmering melodies and a subtly dynamic bassline, which combines withย Khalil‘s emotive and soulful vocals for a track that feels at home on the radio, relaxing or even for a groovy moment in the club. “It Was OK” marksย Wolf‘s new beginning as an artist, though he experienced success back in 2021 with his single “Sticky” withย Tank God, the producer of “Rockstar” byย Post Malone. The track was released as a music videoย NFTย and sold out the 30 editions in its campaign within a week.ย Wolfย is stepping up in a massive way with this unique new release, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

“‘It Was OK‘ started off as a simple piano part that sounded fun enough to play in a club. It wasn’t until I listened to “Unfazed” byย Khalilย and sampled his voice that the song came to life and became something I’m excited to share and sing along with. As a debut release, I want this song to set a precedent for my sound- fun, danceable, and full of musicality.” –ย Mark Wolf.

“Markย did an amazing job creating a whole new experience sonically with ‘It Was OK‘ it was a pleasure working with him and looking forward to many more in the future.” –ย Khalil.

Mark Wolf

Mark Wolf, a versatile musician and accomplished guitarist, has made significant contributions to the music industry, with his work featured on records released by prestigious labels such asย Capitol Recordsย andย Hitco. His artistic prowess has been highlighted on tracks like “Priceless” byย Joseph Blackย and “EVOL” Acoustic byย Khalil, the latter of which achieved playlisting onย Spotify’s New Music Fridayย andย Apple Music‘s “Day One” and “A-List R&B.” Beyond the studio,ย Wolfย has carved a niche for himself on the stage, holding club residencies at renowned venues likeย SoHo Grand,ย The Palace,ย Common Ground,ย Nebula, andย Public. His performances have extended to collaborations with top-notch brands, includingย Crown Royal,ย Range Rover,ย Therabody, andย Ciroc.

Khalil

Khalil, once the quintessential teen idol, has evolved into an iconic figure inย R&B, collaborating with industry luminaries likeย Justin Bieber,ย Usher,ย White Iverson, andย Rex Kudo. His tenure withย Teen Islandย produced chart-toppers like “Hey Lil Mama” ft.ย Lil Twist, which peaked atย #5ย on 106 & Park and spent 13 weeks onย Billboard‘s “Bubbling Under” chart.ย Khalil‘s close friendship withย Justin Bieberย led to a record deal withย Def Jam, resulting in the release of the star-studded “Long Story Short” mixtape onย Soundcloud, featuring production credits from legends likeย Mike Deanย andย DJ Mustard, and collaborations withย Birdman,ย Tory Lanez, and standout songs withย Justin Bieber, including “Playtime” and “Time for Bed.”ย Khalil‘s journey showcases his talent, from opening in stadiums forย Usherย on theย OMGย tour to hosting 106 & Park and amassing almost 16M streams on his independent singles “Quality” and “Simple.”

BRUNSWICK MUSIC FESTIVAL PAYS HOMAGE TO COMMUNITY IN 2024 LINEUP PEOPLE. PLACE. CULTURE. MUSIC.

by the partae January 24, 2024
written by the partae

Merri-bek City Councilโ€™s Brunswick Music Festival is BACK. March 3- 11, 2024.

After its triumphant return in 2023,ย Sydney Road Street Partyย will roll out onย Sunday March 3,ย prickling the shopping strip with performance, art, delicious delights, spectacle, wonder and probably a harpist on a grassy knollโ€ฆ just because.

Estonian House, sitting proud and unmissable on Melville Road, will once again be a bastion for premium performances. ย The utterly iconicย YOTHU YINDIย bring their boundary-breaking music to Brunswick onย March 5.ย Sullen, shoegaze-y, utterly sensational North Carolina five pieceย Wednesdayย are confirmed to appear onย March 6. Iconic Zamibian Psych-rock bandย WITCHย will fill the house onย March 7.ย Gamelan DanAndaย brings a family-friendly Balinese feast by way of Saudara Sound System w/ย Komang,ย Joelisticsย and more onย March 8. While onย March 9ย Naarmโ€™s operators in the outsider underground –ย Crown Ruler, Slow Clapย andย Gut Healthย bring โ€œHighly Contagiousโ€ a cutting-edge musical banquet from the vast corners of the global musical spectrum.
Over at Howler,ย MJ Lenderman and The Windโ€™s friendly, fuzzed out alt-country vignettes will soothe the soul onย March 5.

The suburbโ€™s best live music venues, bars, nooks, crannies and creative crevices are set to host music in all its conceivable forms.ย Jazzlab, Stay Gold, Howler, Brunswick Ballroom,ย The Retreatย and more will bring a curated collection of performances to their stages.ย MzRizkย takes overย A1 Bakeryย andย Brunswick Bowling Clubย gets in on the action.

Theย Australian Art Orchestraย will explore the sonic potential of Coburg Town Hall, centering its famous organ in a series of commissioned works composed by AAO Artistic Director Aaron Choulai and Associate Sofia Carbonara. Simply, the SHUFFLE-PLAY program will be a fun and frankly, unmissable exploration of sound and space.

Blossom Rot Records, Bad Apples, Melbourne Electronic Sound Studios,ย MOM Galleryย andย Neurotiq Erotiqย have all built their own epic events in this yearโ€™s lineup. You hear the phrase โ€˜something for everyoneโ€™ thrown around with reckless abandon but there’s a scant chance this collection of 60+ shows in 30+ venues will leave you wanting.

“Brunswick Music Festival is one of Australiaโ€™s premier annual music festivals, Merri-bek City Council Mayor Adam Pulford said.

โ€œWe are so excited to announce that Yothu Yindi will be headlining the Brunswick Music Festival this year, and we are lucky to have Brunswickโ€™s iconic Estonian House as our major venue.

โ€œThis year weโ€™re celebrating 36 years of the Brunswick Music Festival and its amazing history of music, culture, and community. We invite everyone, near and far, to join us at a gig, hang out at the Sydney Road Street Party and celebrate everything we love about Brunswick and our local Merri-bek music scene.โ€

Fifth Dawn Interview

by the partae January 23, 2024
written by the partae

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your upcoming โ€˜Closerโ€™ February 2024 East Coast Tour and what fans can expect from your live performances?

ย 

Our main motivation behind this tour is to bring a live show to our interstate fans, particularly those in Brisbane and Melbourne. Fans can expect an intense, emotionally charged performance, embodying an atmosphere of dreamscape. We want people to remember these shows.


Your latest single, ‘The Day Brings,’ has received significant attention on various streaming platforms. How has the response been, and how does it fit into the overall theme of your upcoming album?

ย 

Weโ€™re so pleased at the response so far. Our fans are generally supportive but have exceeded our expectations for this single which continues to motivate us. Having Jack Fontes on board in the music video process truly helped capture the mystery and emotion behind the song. This song is a singular piece in a moving-parts concept which our upcoming album channels. The song represents a cry for help in a place of torment and anxiety. The all-inspired hope that a new day will bring ever desired change.ย ย The album culminates to a place of triumph in a journey of self-discovery. Weโ€™re excited to share more of this concept moving forward.

With the diverse lineup for the tour, including support from Aurateque, Noctica, Bridge Left To Burn, Torizon, In Eyes, New Million, and 50Fifty, how did you go about selecting these bands, and what do you appreciate most about sharing the stage with such a variety of musical styles?

ย 

We had Aurateque in mind as we believed their presence on this tour would make the experience really wonderful. I truly admire Lauren as a vocalist and am beyond grateful to share a stage with her. Our other supports are also so talented. I believe the diversity of musical styles in this line-up will only serve to compliment the tour. Iโ€™ll go on to say, thereโ€™s a wealth of talent currently in this music scene that deserves to be represented and celebrated.


Fifth Dawn has a distinctive sound with vibrant synths, cinematic orchestral arrangements, and groove-oriented rhythms. How has your musical style evolved since your debut albumย 
‘Duality’ in 2018, and what can listeners expect from your upcoming 2024 album?

ย 

Duality was a milestone record for us. What we achieved with that release inspires us in our continued efforts to put out music in the world that people adore. With our next album listeners can expect darker themes, heavier arrangements and more ambitious vocal sections. Itโ€™s important for us to maintain our sound but in the same breath, test the boundaries of our current inspiration and creative pursuits.


‘The Day Brings’ has been featured in prominent editorial playlists across various platforms. How do you approach the creation of a single, and what do you believe sets this particular track apart?

ย 

Mark (lead guitarist) and I share the role of song writing within the band. In our catalogue of songs, we usually focus on developing a song into a single that has the strongest musical components. The Day Brings features an emotional and moving bridge section which offers a delicate contrast to the heavier parts and build-up in the song. We believe this stands out in comparison to our previous releases.

The tour includes stops in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. How does performing in different cities influence your live shows, and do you have any specific memories or expectations for each venue?

ย 

Weโ€™re so determined to make our mark in these cities. Weโ€™re aware we have fans in Brisbane and Melbourne but have not yet cut through the noise. Weโ€™re excited to play to newer audiences and hopefully accumulate more fans in the process. Our expectations for these shows are for fans new and old to truly immerse themselves in the experience and have a joyful night.

As a melodic metal quartet, how do you balance the technicality of your music with creating emotionally charged compositions that resonate with a broad audience?

ย 

We usually aim to achieve contrast in every song to allow for this e.g., softer verses paving the way for heavier chorusโ€™. As each song is written, it normally becomes obvious to us what adjustments need to be made to make it more captivating. Emotion for me is equally a combination of the lyrics and vocal expression. The sweet spot lies somewhere in the middle.

The Oxford Art Factory and Thrashville Festival are notable recent appearances for Fifth Dawn. How have these experiences shaped your approach to live performances and the overall direction of the band?

ย 

We need to consistently perform to identify areas for improvement and general advancement. These shows were important to us for this reason after been inactive for a while. We are so determined to move forward in our bandโ€™s career and feel we have a positive trajectory if we continue to work hard at this. Weโ€™re so excited and prepared for this tour.

Can you share any insights into the collaborative process within the band when creating new music, especially for your upcoming album?

ย 

As stated earlier, Mark and I work together in the collaborative process to write the songs. Itโ€™s important for us to maintain communication in this process as weโ€™re relying on harmony and understanding to achieve this. I truly believe people will feel inspired with this release. Itโ€™s extremely relatable in discussing the ugliness and challenging nature of the human condition.

The Australian music scene is known for its diversity and talent. How do you feel your music contributes to and stands out in this vibrant landscape?

ย 

I agree that there is so much competitive talent in this industry. As a vocalist Iโ€™ve always been very ambitious, which is exactly the reason Amy Lee of Evanescence has impressed me all these years. Her vocals are immersing and powerful in a way thatโ€™s memorable. I endeavour to achieve this in my own vocal style as an Australian artist. Further to this, our music is progressive and heavy which is exhilarating to combine these elements with soaring vocals. I feel confident in saying our music stand outs on its merit for these reasons.


What role does Qona Creative play in supporting local talent, and how has their involvement impacted the planning and execution of your upcoming tour?

ย 

Our experience with Qona Creative so far has been so positive and commendable. They are efficient and exceptional in identifying talent and potential. I am confident with their continued efforts, that their career will propel in the near future.


Looking beyond the February 2024 tour, what are your long-term goals for Fifth Dawn, and how do you envision the band’s evolution in the coming years?

ย 

Our focus and attention this year is directed in developing our next album and expanding touring opportunities. Weโ€™re working hard to deliver an album weโ€™re absolutely proud of. I believe with the right strategy, promotion and execution, that this album perform well.
