We may be promised rain all weekend but Gee Whiz, wasn’t that lil glimpse of Spring just Magic! As beautiful as it was brief, this week’s short lived spell of sunshine has given us all a lot to look forward…
Friday Beats
Amii Stewart – Knock on Wood
Our beloved DJ and Friday Beats curator Kieran is in the wars. On his death bed sick for the last three weeks and we’re putting all our good vibes together to get this dude well and there is truly no better way…
Billy Ocean – Caribbean Queen
With all the seemingly endless talk this week about the release Frank Ocean’s eagerly anticipated album, Blond I thought I’d take a trip back to the only Ocean I’ll ever need. Billy’s 1984 BANGER, ‘Caribbean Queen’ still sounds as fresh…
Iesha – Another Bad Creation
Now, we all know I love a good Boy Band, So let me introduce Atlanta’s own, Another Bad Creation. Once touted as The Jackson 5 or New Edition of the 90s they were massive for about 5 minutes (see attached photo…
Kyoto – Yung Lean

You’re the Best – Joe Esposito
With the announcement this week that our own Hunting for George were named Runners Up in the ‘Best Small Independent Retailers Award’ at the 2016 ORIA’s I thought this would be a great time to recognise just how hard all these guys…
If I ever feel better – Phoenix
Before French Indie heart-throbs, Phoenix were an alternative, guitar pop staple they were one of the most eclectic and groundbreaking acts around. This delicious slice of disjointed Disco comes from their debut album, ‘United’. Released in 2000 and produced by Cassius’…
Nyul Nyul Girl – Dan Sultan
With another NAIDOC week coming to a close I thought it only fitting to revisit one of my favourite local artists, Dan Sultan. Part Soul Singer, Part Rock’n’Roll Star & Part Folk Troubadour he may be, yet this Dreamboat remains quintessentially…
