![UNITING BOTH LONDON & NEW YORK CITY’S ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SCENES, KDA RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE ‘NEW YORK CITY’ FEATURING THE VOCALS OF LEGENDARY NYC PERFORMANCE ARTIST AMANDA LEPORE, ‘NEW YORK CITY’ IS THE NEXT SINGLE TAKEN FROM KDA’S UPCOMING ‘DRIP FEED’ EP THE 35 RECORDS/ [PIAS] KDA – ‘NEW YORK CITY’ FT. AMANDA LEPORE OUT NOW LISTEN TO 'NEW YORK CITY' HERE KDA is the mysterious producer who lurked in the shadows of London’s underground elite for years. In 2015 he started taking over radio airwaves with his music, demonstrating his craft of delivering careful and deliberate club records, loaded with charm and attitude. Returning earlier this year, 2019 has seen KDA pay homage to his underground roots with a string of new singles all taken from the upcoming ‘Drip Feed’ EP. ‘Sex Magick’ arrived first, swiftly followed by ‘Drip Feed’, with last months ‘Scars’ receiving the ‘Friday Fire’ accolade from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard. With musical influences spanning across the board, KDA can’t be pigeonholed into any one genre. His signature mechanized momentum sees all of the records on the ‘Drip Feed’ EP channel a balance between rigor and raucousness as he now releases the next single, ‘New York City’ featuring the legendary Amanda Lepore. KDA’s uncompromising flair sees him blend kicks and dark synth chords in ‘New York City’. Never one to have trouble translating the most harmonious and vocal driven concepts and conjuring them into dance floor ready productions, ‘New York City’ also features the vocals of iconic performance artist and frequent David LaChapelle muse, Amanda Lepore. As an effervescent fixture on the New York and global scene, Lepore adds character and boldness to KDA’s frenetically charged sound; a craft he learnt from years spent within London’s club scene. Returning with a club-geared catalogue of music this summer and adding to his ever-growing discography, KDA has already shown his underground credentials, remixing the likes of Sia ft Kendrick Lamar, Metronomy ft. Robyn, CHVRCHES, London Grammar, Cassius, Alma, C Duncan and Bronski Beat. 2019 continues to be marked as KDA’s most significant year to date, as he develops and builds on his underground roots which have already seen him play at Europe’s most respected clubbing institutions including Fabric, Printworks, Tobacco Dock, Ushuaïa and Amnesia. KDA ‘New York City’ ft Amanda Lepore is out now via The 35 Records/[PIAS] Connect with KDA](https://thepartae.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Amanda-Lepore-300x200.jpg)
![Iggy Pop has unveiled the first video from his upcoming album Free – out September 6 via Caroline Australia. Directed by Simon Taylor, the clip for 'James Bond' was shot on location at Sweat Records in Miami. 'James Bond' is the second song to be released in advance of the new album, and has been hailed "infectious" by PASTE and by CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND: “a stylistic shift... magnetic.” In Iggy’s own words, 'James Bond' tells a story: "I don't know what she's up to exactly, but the tables seem to be turning, and she's taking over. Well, why not? I’ll try anything once. I’ve never had more fun singing a lyric. Faith’s reading is so loaded, and Leron’s production and trumpet along with the band swings like crazy.” Credits: Iggy Pop - Vocal Faith Vern - Additional Voice Leron Thomas - Trumpet Robin Sherman - Bass Thomas Glass - Drums Ari Teitel - Guitar Simon Taylor - Video Director WATCH 'JAMES BOND' [VIDEO] While Free follows the highest charting album of Iggy’s career, 2016’s Grammy-nominated Post Pop Depression, it has virtually nothing in common sonically with its predecessor—or with any other Iggy Pop album. As The New York Times remarked upon hearing the title track: "Iggy Pops ‘Free' is brief, atmospheric and elusive. Amid sustained electronic tones from the guitarist Noveller and ghostly overdubbed Miles Davis-tinged trumpet lines from Leron Thomas, Pop’s voice appears only a few times, intoning, 'I wanna be free.' As the title song and opening track of an album due in September, it could lead anywhere."](https://thepartae.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/IGGY-POP-300x300.jpg)
![Emerging from the smoky late nights of Brisbane’s humid streets, Keelan Mak is a singer, songwriter, and producer creating a unique and sultry palette of electronic sounds. Combining a blissful intoxicating song writing style with lush atmospheric production, Keelan seamlessly blends indie and electronic genres and combines them with his smooth, honeyed, emotional vocals and heartfelt personal storytelling. Today, Keelan Mak announces the forthcoming release of his debut EP ‘Test The Shallows’ which will be released digitally on September 27th, and also reveals new single "Sleep Talker", a melancholic disco track which plays with garage house influences, woozy layers of synth and beats, and smooth vocal toplines. "Sleep Talker" came out of a writing session just after BIGSOUND last year. Co-written with Melbourne artist Maribelle in a burst of creativity, the song came together in only a few hours and draws from Keelan’s personal experience in a relationship where the only honest communication was in their most vulnerable state; Sleep Talking. "We obviously exaggerated the concept… I wasn’t sleep talking with them, but there were definitely a lot of moments where we only got honest when the lights were off and we we’re talking in bed. The whole relationship felt very sleepy and sedated at times which fit the theme perfectly." – Keelan Mak Co-produced by Keelan himself along with Sydney artist/producer Mookhi, new single "Sleep Talker" will be available digitally worldwide on August 15th, and will feature on Keelan Mak’s upcoming debut EP ‘Test The Shallows’ which will be released on September 27th. "She [Mookhi] really brought life to the song and a lot of subtle nuances that I couldn’t do myself." Keelan Mak will also be supporting Thomston on tour! Come and sad dance to Keelan live in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne at the following dates: Thurs 19 September – The Lansdowne Hotel, Sydney NSW Fri 20 September – Workers Club, Melbourne VIC Sun 22 September – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane QLD KEELAN MAK "Sleep Talker" (single) (independent) h Launching his career last year with debut single "Weigh You Down" and follow up single "Flicker", Keelan Mak has made a mark with his sound and style. The two tracks have amassed over 500k streams, were added to major Spotify playlists (New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Indie Arrivals and more), and has received spins on triple j unearthed, triple j, and handfuls of community radio stations. The tracks also caught the attention of bookers and artists around Australia – leading to Mak supporting Vera Blue, E^ST, Matthew Young and Alice Ivy, as well as co-writing with some of Australia and New Zealand’s top upcoming producers including Fossa Beats, Maribelle, and SACHI, and a feature vocal on single "Wouldn’t Be The Same" from Australian electronic favourites Tora. Recently winning the AMEX Music Backers grant, Keelan was also a finalist in the 2018 Billy Thorpe Scholarship, and was one of two hand-picked showcasing artists representing triple j unearthed at BIGSOUND 2018. Nice things people are saying about Keelan Mak: "It pulls you in slowly with his brooding vocals and then seals the deal with a planet-shifting synth-line that immediately tugs at the heart." – The Interns "captivating vocals drawing you in above a hazy, crashing production underneath" – Pilerats "There's a really lovely nuance to your voice that makes it stand out among a fairly satured indie-pop landscape"– Tommy Faith, triple j unearthed "Keelan achieving proper heart throb status with another cold as ice cut." – Dave Ruby Howe, triple j unearthed "you've got a realised style and this one shows off your ability to get people moving with that added late-night oomph." – Declan Byrne, triple j Home and Hosed "It's like Troye Sivan meets Oscar Key Sung. Sweet and smooth!" – Bridget Hustwaite, triple j Good Nights "It has that synth-pop vibe with an extra lashing of glam thanks to the echoing and silky vocals from Mak" – Purple Sneakers LIKE / FOLLOW KEELAN MAK:](https://thepartae.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/KEELAN-MAK-292x300.png)
![“Crocodyl-yes.” – The Music “…Crocodylus [are] one of the most unique bands in Australia.” – Backyard Opera “Crocodylus kick the energy up to 11…” – Happy Mag "This band have fangs." - Tommy Faith, triple j Crocodylus today reveal the energy fuelled video for new single 'Adrenaline' alongside details of their forthcoming EP 'Enjoy' out September 27th via The Chat's label Bargain Bin Records. The trio will then take their dynamic live show on a nine-date tour across Australia to showcase the release. After befriending mullet-bearers The Chats on their national 'Pub Feed' tour in June the viral punks have chosen to release 'Enjoy' via their own label Bargain Bin Recordscementing their reciprocal admiration. The Chat's lead singer Eamon Sandwith said of the collaboration "We’re very proud to be releasing our good mates Crocodylus' EP on Bargain Bin this year. These guys did a few shows with us this year across Australia and they quickly became one of our favourite Aussie bands." The seven-tracker will also be released on vinyl and feature singles 'Ghosts' and 'Adrenaline' plus countless tempo changes, grunge-tinged riffs and driving beats, ‘Enjoy’s unifying theme is right there in the title: "it’s something for the fans, from us, the Crocs."Bassist and vocalist Josh continues "After touring with The Chats earlier this year we are so stoked they decided to chuck us on their label Bargain Bin. The EP has been a long process and we can’t wait to release new music." Notorious for their lively stage show Crocodylus aren't ones to take time off the road and will be impressing their captivated fans once again on the 'Enjoy' Tour this October. From Brisbane to Hobart they'll be joined by post-punk outfit Israeli Chicks and steeze-filled grunge-punkers Pistol Peaches. Teasing that epic live show in today's 'Adrenaline' clip, Crocodylus showcase what to expect on their upcoming tour atop a north Sydney expressway with a harbour sunset backdrop bringing their signature raucous energy to a blustery Sydney evening. Released under two weeks ago 'Adrenaline' has already caught the attention of General Pants andWrangler and was added to rotation on FBi Radio. Crocodylus returned in May with the dynamic ‘Ghosts’ which was premiered on triple j’s Home & Hosed and added to triple j unearthed and EDGE Radio. The part vintage horror, part arthouse cinema film clip produced by regular collaborator Jamieson Kerr was lauded by The Music and added to Rage. They spent June traipsing the country with The Chats, playing their show-stopping set to sold out crowds every night and adding to their legions of fans. Their unpredictable live show has been honed on stages around the country, supporting the likes of Ocean Alley, Dune Rats, Hockey Dad and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets alongside a tri-headline tour with A. Swayze and the Ghosts and VOIID to kick off 2019. Crocodylus have also just been announced on Yours & Owls Festival alongside Courtney Barnett and Bad // Dreems this October. Last year saw the most acclaimed releases from the well-toured trio, even while only delivering two singles. The former, ‘My Love’ is a slice of vintage surf-rock indicative of the band’s live shows and was well-supported with sold-out launch gigs at The Lansdowne in Sydney, and The Tote in Melbourne and came in at #14 on Happy Mag's Top 100 Songs of 2018. The latter, ‘My Baby’, is a 60’s-style crooner and came out alongside a choreographed music video premiered by Triple J Unearthed and heralded by Life Without Andy as the #1 Indie Music Video of that year. Filled with tracks born on the stage, 'Enjoy' will take you from the living room to the pit. Get a head start and grab tickets to the 'Enjoy' tour now.

![Australia’s biggest music industry gathering and new music discovery festival BIGSOUND has dropped a last minute surprise, revealing “extremely dedicated” Fyre Festival event producer Andy King will be making his way downunder to address the conference, giving insight into the world of event promotion and why you should never run out of water. A pop culture icon following the Netflix documentary ‘Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened’, Andy King has become the event management poster child for going the extra mile with a history of successful events to his name in the States to contrast with the exceptional circumstances surrounding his more famous endeavour. His learnings, insights and good humour will set the scene for BIGSOUND 2019. With the entire conference and live music timetable also revealed today, BIGSOUND has dropped 70+ more speakers and buyers, including representatives from Spotify, ARIA, triple j, The Fader, Sony Music, Unified Music Group, Secret Service, X-Ray Touring, and more. They join the recently announced keynote speakers Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, music writer and industry figure Vivien Goldman, Frontier Touring’s Sahara Herald, acclaimed artist Mojo Juju, and Nettwerk Music’s Terry McBride, as well as a keynote featuring four First Nations voices to unpack cultural resurgence and working within a global settler-led music industry. BIGSOUND also unveils its full program schedule, giving you a taste of the panels, forums, workshops, and presentations which will dissect the music industry today, look forward to where it’s heading, opportunities to brainstorm ideas, hear different perspectives, and discuss all the key topics at the forefront of artists and the industry’s minds. And that’s before we even get to the 150 bands and over a dozen parties including the first Indie Label Market on the event’s closing night. BIGSOUND is teaming up with Mountain Goat and [PIAS] for the market between 5-8pm featuring indie labels from around Australia as they sell vinyl, merch and spin some of their releases before turning Ric's Backyard into the final night of live music as the featured labels showcase their rosters. BIGSOUND has partnered with YouTube Music to present the first ever Artist Village! In this sanctuary and meeting place, YouTube Music will provide artists with exclusive workshops on how to maximise their music potential with the help of its global platform. YouTube Music experts will also be on hand for one-on-one assistance for artists, managers and publishers on topics at all levels - including leveraging and growing your audience, monetising your channel, playlisting, content IDs and digital fingerprinting. “Some of the most memorable moments with artists happen early -- many fans can tell you about the first time they heard an incredible new song or watched a groundbreaking video from a musical newcomer,” said Ruuben van den Heuvel, Head of Music Content Partnerships (South East Asia, AU/NZ), YouTube. “This is why we're proud to join forces with BIGSOUND for the second year, and look forward to coming together with thousands of artists in Brisbane, to try to help them find audiences at every phase of their career.” The YouTube Music Artist Village will be open to all BIGSOUND artists from 10am until 4pm daily, including free accommodation, complimentary breakfast, free wifi, conference live stream, artist workshops, safe zone with mental health counsellors, informal interview spaces, instrument repair store, hair and makeup salon, rehearsal room and brand networking opportunities. ------- The hints, clues, rumours and announcements have finally come together into a cohesive program of discovery, networking and professional development, with collaboration and community at its core as BIGSOUND stamps its mark as the place to create change and celebrate the future of the Australian music industry.

Over the last 12 months, Verknipt has continued to establish itself at the cutting edge of the underground with big indoor events that focus on great production, killer sound systems and of course mouthwatering artists. There have also been boat parties, the Verknipt Festival with its own afterparties, Kingsnight Specials, 6th Birthday events and all night long parties amongst many other highlights, with plenty more big and bold plans for 2020. The series at ADE always sells out at the amazing Amsterdam Studios and this year will be no different. The prize location is a big warehouse with capacity for more than 2500 visitors split over three different rooms with their own character, all of which will come alive with Verknipt’s great light and laser shows. It is only used once a year and has no sound restrictions, so get ready for the parties of your life. Things kick off on Thursday October 17th with a seriously tasteful line-up featuring a hybrid live show from Perc & Ansome that will be dark and industrial, a special back to back between FJAAK and Fadi Mohem and sets from UK star Randomer, the cult likes of SHDW & Obscure Shape, I Hate Models, Juan Sanchez, AIROD and AnD amongst many more. Day two brings together yet another wide spectrum of vital artists with Radio 1 tastemaker B.Traits, techno trailblazer Deborah de Luca, underground favourite Ø [Phase], the local legend Egbert playing live, Scottish star Gary Beck, the UK legend The Advent, Irish Minus man Matador, Germany’s Thomas Schumacher and Belgium veteran Marco Bailey as well as many others with their own distinct flavours. The third and final day keeps up the quality with Ibiza and UK party Solid Groove’s Michael Bibi and PAWSA, plus Solardo - Hi Ibiza regulars with their own trendsetting Sola label and a huge following who lap up their slick tech house - and Franky Rizardo, the man behind the FLOW radio show and touring party concept that deals in quality house of all forms. You can also look forward to UK groove master Latmun brining more house flavours next to some big techno from Cocoon regular wAFF, with local hero Benny Rodrigues, Spanish hit maker Dennis Cruz and the fast rising ANOTR also lining up amongst others. These are three blistering parties in a unique venue that are set to be the most essential events during all of ADE.

![Credit: Neelam Khan Vela TOURING… ‘CHEAPLY BOUGHT, EXPENSIVELY SOLD’ THE DEBUT ALBUM - OUT 19 OCTOBER 2019 - ON MODERN SKY UK “[‘No Fun’ is] one of my favourites…same feelings I get from it as I do listening to I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor or Juicebox by The Strokes, a sure-fire Indie banger. Pits will open even at your grandma’s 70 birthday….I think we’ve got a future classic on our hands” Jack Saunders, BBC R1 DECLAN WELSH & THE DECADENT WEST have announced a fresh run of UK dates for Winter 2019. With their debut album ‘Cheaply Bought, Expensively Sold’ now in sight (out 18 October 2019 via Modern Sky UK), the four piece will be piggy-backing its release with a 15 date tour immediately after. Kicking off, in every sense, on the 31st of October (or 'Brexit Day’ in case it had slipped your mind…), the Glaswegian band will be taking their politically charged indie-punk to the irate masses in a run of shows that will stretch across Scotland, England and Wales. Full dates and details as follows: October Thurs 31 Newcastle Think Tank November Sun 3 Brighton Hope & Ruin Mon 4 Bristol Louisiana Tues 5 London Notting Hill Arts Club Wed 6 Cardiff Clwb Ifor Bach Fri 8 Blackpool Bootleg Social Sat 9 Liverpool Phase One Sun 10 Leeds Lending Room Mon 11 Manchester Jimmys Wed 13 Leicester Cookie Thurs 14 Halifax Lantern Fri 15 Glasgow St Lukes Sun 17 Inverness Mad Hatters Mon 18 Aberdeen Tunnels Tues 19 Dundee Beat Generator Tickets on General Sale this Friday (9 August) from: https://www.declanwelshandthedecadentwest.com Following a year of sold out shows across the UK and performances as diverse as those in Palestine (as part of a Glaswegian cultural exchange), The Great Escape, Reeperbahn,London Fashion Week, and their electrifying Billy Bragg-approved appearance at Glastonbury 2019; The Decadent West have solidified themselves as one of Scotland’s most promising talents and an unmissable live prospect. In the lead-up to their new album, the Declan & Co. have whet appetites with recent single: ’No Fun’, a sardonic swipe at the scenester culture found to be lingering in Scottish flat parties, and, well everywhere for that matter. Watch the ‘No Fun’ video here: https://youtu.be/VI49s7trQAk Sharp of wit, dry of humour, and charged with Declan’s expertly acerbic lyricisms, the tracks sets the tone for what is surely one of 2019’s most anticipated debuts.
