Beckah Amani - Smoke and Mirrors

The opening track to the singer-songwriter's debut EP; April, Smoke and Mirrors is a somber piano-lead ballad that is equal parts vulnerable and powerful, showcasing Beckah’s impressive vocal range, and ear for melody. 

Genesis Owusu - Get Inspired

The second single from the Multi-ARIA award-winning Ghanaian-Australian artist for the year, Owusu flexes his diversity and willingness to embrace any and all genres, taking things in a motorik, addictive, post-punk direction.

Georgia Fields - In My Blood

The Naarm-based art-pop artist continues to tease her forthcoming LP Hiraeth (out Nov 17th) with a thoughtfully composed track, produced to perfection creating the ultimate sensory experience.

Gordon Koang - To You My People 

Hailing from the Upper Nile region of what is now South Sudan and now calling Naarm/ Melbourne home after being granted asylum after 5 long years, Gordon releases a single from their forthcoming album Community - and it's an uplifting shuffler of a track with plenty of soul and melody. 

Grace Barbé - Fatige (GUM & Ginoli Remix)

The local Fremantle-based musical minds team up to yield a vibe-filled, DJ friendly, housey slice of dancefloor goodness by remixing the Afro-Creol legends 2013 single Fatige.

Jade Imagine - I Guess We'll Just Wait

Lifted from the Naarm/ Melbourne based trio’s sophomore LP Cold Memory, I Guess We'll Just Wait is a daydreamer's anthem, sparkling with bright synths and an effortlessly smooth bass line, and rounded out with reverb-drenched harmonies.

Rebel Yell - Protect 

The moniker of Grace Stevenson, Rebel Yell is hard music to explore soft ideas - Protect being no exception as this industrial dance track commands listeners to look to the future, uplift one another, and care for the land we inhabit in a chant-like fashion. 

Vissac - Prosaic 

The Walyalup/ Fremantle collective continue to effortlessly fuse jazz and prog-rock elements to create a new unique sound, breathing new life into instrumental music with their intriguing and enjoyable trip that is Prosaic.
