Big Scary - Goodbye Earle Street 

Strumming and drumming their way from their suburban living room into the ears and hearts of listeners around the globe, the Naarm/ Melbourne duo weave breathtaking melodies drenched in euphoric harmonies in this sweet yet melancholic track, taken from their sixth record Me and You. 

Grace Sanders - Attachment Theory 

An irresistibly catchy sonic hypothesis taken from the Boorloo/ Perth artist's forthcoming EP due later this month, taking cues from psychedelic, indie pop and electronic genres, it’s a soulful and sentimental take on modern r&b. 

Loods & Mall Grab - Love Is Real 

In the midst of a nationwide tour together, Mulubinba/ Newcastle based producer and DJ Mall Grab teams up London-based aussie producer/ longtime friend Loods for a groove-laced ecstatic disco-house track.

Loretta Miller & Ruby Jones - Eighteen 

The harmonious voices of Naarm/ Melbourne based singer-songwriters Loretta and Ruby intertwine, as the pair address the realities of ageism and misogyny in this rollicking and anthemic celebration of female friendship on the road.

Memphis LK - Whip 

Fresh from Listen Out stages, The Naarm/ Melbourne based self-taught producer continues to refine her brand of OG underground dance music styles with modern pop influences with this potent percussive jungle and synthy alt-pop tune.

Sampa The Great - Mask On feat. Joey BadA$$

Taken from her latest LP As Above, So Below, The Zambian-born Botswana-raised poet and rapper teams up with rapper-singer-actor Joey BadA$$ for this huge track, evolving from hazy and spiritual to straight up fire. 

Stephen Bailey - The Holder 

The prolific Boorloo/ Perth-based artist reveals his ballad dedicated to Mother Nature, taken as the first track from forthcoming record (due November) the intriguingly titled G.G. Ryder, it’s an optimistic and enchanting slice of laidback folk rock.

Supathick - Own My Mind 

Recently taking out the West Australian Music (WAM) song of the year in the Hip Hop/ New R&B category, the genre-blurring outfit reach anthemic pop perfection with this bitter sweet track taken from their sophomore EP In The Thick Of It. 

The Murlocs - Bellarine Ballerina 

Lifted from their sixth full-length studio album Rapscallion, the Naarm/ Melbourne-based rockers venture through the realms of stoner-rock to the more primitive edge of post-punk with this melodic and explosive track.
