Cris Gamble – ‘Stars’ Single

Gamble’s wordplay combines 90’s East-Coast lyricism, early 2000’s Dirty-South and Trap flows. Blend this with contemporary synths, heavy bass lines and new age sampling and we have this brand new flavour which is Cris Gamble.

Danny Brown releases ‘BTS’ Video
Danny Brown just released the behind-the-scenes look into the making of his epic video for “Lost”, an essential cut from 2016’s Atrocity Exhibition (Warp). The clip features an intimate look at the crew and talent responsible for bringing to life the ever-illusive Danny Brown’s masterful tome.

Bonzai shares video for ‘I Feel Alright’
With her new single ‘I Feel Alright’ being hailed as an essential summer banger, Bonzai reveals it’s music video; a celebration of being young and being out of control. Taking place at a makeshift rave in a forest clearing around a burning oil drum, things get wavier as night descends and the party heats up. ‘I Feel Alright’ is her ‘Punk RnB’ tale of the precarious thrills of going out, a 2017 anthem from a star shaping up to be the trap-rave P!NK of the Mura Masa-era. It’s about the feeling of being young and lost but being brave that things are going to get better.

Voldo Blanka creates ‘movie moments’
Canadian electronic artist, Voldo Blanka, left the world of a touring rock ‘n’ roll musician to hone his skills as a composer for screen. Through this, Voldo began to look at his music as though it was a scene from a film, designing the sound around how one might feel or move in a certain environment. Tapping into deep sensations and emotions such as fear, anticipation, horror and suspense, the result is a form of sonic storytelling that’s ethereal at times and ‘auditory violence’ at others.
Having formed a wealth of musical experience playing all over the world and recording with legendary producers for many years, the talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist has found solace in the private creative process, and this intimacy with the music has led to the debut record of Voldo Blanka and his edgy brand of alternative electronica. For him, it has become a vehicle to rebel against the industry and the machine that too often spits out music that sounds the same.

“‘Mattress’ is about having that one friend who you wish was more than a friend,” he explained. “You don’t say anything because you don’t want to f–k up the friendship, but seeing them with someone else hurts like hell.

Nadine Shah Debuts New Track “Evil” On Interview Magazine
Inspired by Philip Larkin’s poem “Days”, Shah elaborates to Interview about the track : “It’s a really short poem, it’s great. Within just two stanzas he sums up all the problems with people’s attitudes towards mental health or anybody who lives outside the norm. He says, “Brings the priest and the doctor / In their long coats / Running over the fields,” which means that religion and medicine and society are going to judge you. It’s where [“Evil”] came from, but also my own and my friends’ experiences with mental illness.”

HYUKOH shot to fame in the summer of 2015, rocketing through the charts with their debut EP ’20,’ and eclipsing the carefully marketed K-pop supergroups. Their title “Comes And Goes” took the number one spot over songs by Girls’ Generation and BIGBANG, two of South Korea’s most popular acts today. An alternative to mainstream Korean music, the four-piece’s light drums and gentle guitar strumming forgo K-pop music’s heavy bass lines and synthesizers. Instead, vocalist Oh Hyuk lays his deep, raspy vocals over dreamy tones reminiscent of 90s indie rock.

Described as “going to a yoga class on MDMA”, HABITS are indisputably the most intimate, empowering and sweat-inducing live act in Australia.

Nomis “A Million and One”
In “A Million and One”, Nomis sets the mood of a 1920’s Speakeasy by opening the track with an overtly Jazz inspired chord progression. Imagine a 60 year old man wearing a sweaty suit inside of an equally sweaty night club. Watch as he places a glass of scotch next to an ash tray while waiting for his cue from the piano player. That’s what the instrumental of “A Million and One” feels like. Quickly the rapping begins as Nomis covers a multitude of topics ranging from personal struggle, societal failure, Black exploitation and how our response to these things shape our futures. Though the mood is relaxed, the flow and cadence of Nomis’ rhymes are far from that. This song is definitely for those who are a fan of the art of rhyme with its pattern heavy syntax and ear grabbing punchlines.

BLK OPS Premieres “Truth Fuckery” At No Clean Singing
No Clean Singing has debuted a crushing new BLACK OPS single titled “Truth Fuckery,” the track hailing from the band’s impending split LP with CAVE BASTARD due out late this month via Accident Prone.
BLK OPS declares on the lyrical attack of the new song, “‘Truth Fuckery’ is about media manipulation and propaganda used by presidents to justify profit wars. It’s primarily aimed at ‘faux’ news and their need to feed the war machine of the industrial military complex. It’s saying whatever puppet president is in ‘power’ should pick up the sword and shield and lead us into battle if they’re going to generate profits off conflict.”
