It’s been a HUGE week for new indie, hip-hop and EDM releases – not only did we get fresh new tunes from some of Australia’s finest up-and-comers, like ONEFOUR (who just dropped PROVE ‘EM WRONG), Somber Hills (who blessed us with Joker) and Forest Claudette (whose new cut 2AM is destined to be a hit), but the international heavyweights were out in full force: Childish Gambino came in hot with his wicked new album Bando Stone & The New World, for example, while Sofi Tukker delivered another instant classic in Hey Homie, and Denzel Curry got his fans going absolutely mental with HOODLUMZ.
With all of that in mind, now seems like as good a time as any to remind you – or clue you in, if you didn’t know already – that we have our very own playlist dedicated to bringing you the best new music from the underground and beyond, fittingly named Purple Sneakers’ Best New Music. We update it every Friday with more than a dozen of the brand new tracks we simply can’t get enough of, giving you the ultimate soundtrack to power your weekend.
You can listen to Purple Sneakers’ Best New Music on Spotify (here) and Apple Music (here) – and make sure to hit us up on Instagram or Facebook to let us know what songs you’ve been loving!
