This youthful foursome made up of Ll’vo (Darren Parisella), Lovely Me (Nathanael Dixon), River Deep (real name) and KL (Cale Foley) are here to tear down your perceptions of Aussie hip hop through confronting messages and complex beats. “We’re trying to break away from that ‘skip hop’ stigma that Aussie hip hop has.

Charles Baby is in the middle of a typical artist’s day when we chat, juggling multiple jobs and duties in attempt to keep his craft alive and a roof over his head. Music is an expensive business and never more so than for the independent artist with a debut album ready for release. “I always end up doing all these things that I’m terrible at,” Baby laughs. “I shouldn’t be in charge of my online...

Describe your genre in five words or less: Alternative grunge rock.   Describe the best gig you have ever played:  This would definitely have to be when we were lucky enough to gain a spot on the Bendigo GTM festival. Being on a lineup with some of the biggest Australian and international bands was actually hard to believe. The festival was in QLD the next day, this meant endless beers... Read More

German house DJ/producer Daniel Bortz has a deft touch for striping things back to the minimal without losing the soul. After spinning house and techno for more than a decade and releasing tracks from 2007, Daniel Bortz found his way into the international spotlight in 2011 along with the resurgence of house. Well known for his bootlegs and last year's re-working of James Blake's cover of Feist'... Read More

Brooklyn-via-Washington DC rapper/producer Oddisee – who put out his first ‘official’ record last year after a swathe of mixtapes, instrumental records and guest features – likes to fly under the radar. But following the release of his acclaimed debut album People Hear What They See, it doesn’t look like Oddisee, the nom de tune of Amir Mohamed el Khalifa, is going to be enjoying anonymity...

Describe the best gig you have ever played. The third show we ever played, which was the final of Gunn Music's Espy Artist Showdown. We sold 70 tickets and played to over 100 people in the Gershwin Room. We had such great energy onstage and off with people jumping around and screaming out the whole set. We even got chants for "One more song!"   If you could go on tour with any musician or... Read More

Melbourne metal/hip hop/electro maniacs, Blindmunkee, have been spreading their mammalian love via gorilla marketing tactics all around Melbourne. They appeared on the scene a couple of years ago but in the past year, stickers, street art, impromptu (and uninvited) television appearances and a stroll into the world of graphic novels has seen the band stepping down from the tree of up-and-coming...

Vocalist and guitarist, Ambroise Willaume, and cellist and vocalist, Jeremie Arcache united over their love of classical music during their training at France’s prestigious Maitrise Notre Dame de Paris music school.

Define your genre in five words or less: Sexy, acoustic, eargasm-rock.   So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you... what do they say? "Wow those guys could use some singing lessons and one of them kept burping. But with songs like Blue Balls and The Platypusary, let's all go buy their EP!"   Name an interview question... Read More

Brothers Ben and Louis Helliker-Hales are Chaos in the CBD – and the boys from Auckland are heading back to Australia shortly for their second trip. Right now though, they are chilling in their native New Zealand and have just finished lecturing a bunch of students at a local school who are enrolled in a DJ and production course. “It was a great experience,” describes Louis. “We never thought we’...

The Sidetracked Fiasco

Sydney funkcore band The Sidetracked Fiasco have recently finished a 17 date national tour and the logical way to wind down from that seemed to be to do it all again. They are a band whose energy seems to be unstoppable and passion for their music (and a good time) unending. Part funkadelic cool, part hip hop smooth and part cheeky spunk, the four-piece are embracing the ethos of unending touring... Read More

Define your genre in five words or less: Hard melodic rock.    What inspires or has influenced your music the most? Really digging Twelve Foot Ninja at the moment - those guys are amazing – check out the clip to Mother Sky on YouTube.

It was the era that initially struggled to shake off the bravado of its predecessor, but the ‘90s soon developed a whole new brand of equally cringe-worthy and interminably cool trends that rival the ‘80s as one of today's most nostalgic periods. One such nostalgic outburst is the upcoming show Never Mind The 90s, which showcases bands such as Bad Taste and Copse re-colouring '90s... Read More

Last January the grounds of Werribee Park Mansion were transformed into a private estate in Provence with the finest French food, wine and music flowing all day.  In fact the only local content was the beautiful summer weather and the 4,000 people who loved every minute. In January 2013 So Frenchy So Chic In The Park is set to return with another handcrafted festival of joie de vivre. Bring... Read More

‘Classically trained.’ It’s a nice, vague little phrase that crops up in press statements for musicians of any genre. “Yeah,” says Alex Menzies, better known as Alex Smoke. “It’s one of those classic bio lines, and then you find out they played recorder until they were seven.” For Menzies though, ‘classically trained’ isn’t a token bid for musical legitimacy, but a prominent commitment, part of...

Who is Dirt River Radio? We are St Kilda’s answer to a long forgotten question, “What the hell did you put in my drink?“ Or maybe it was, “How the fuck does he get his hair to stay like that?” Or, “Who let Brady write his own interview?” Regardless, DRR are a debaucherous gang of mates who play rock’n’roll roots-blues-alt country with a Melbourne attitude and a drinking team the size of a small...

Here not too long ago and a firm favourite of Melbourne crowds for his ability to whip a dancefloor up into a frenzy (as evidenced by his appearance at last year’s KUBIK Melbourne), Alexkid is a truly masterful musician.  With roots in the early nineties Paris rave scene alongside other French house luminaries including St Germain and Mr. Oizo, Alexkid has spent years being one of the most...

When Stereo-Heaven (the biggest record store in Essen, Germany) found that their biggest selling tech-house record was one that happened to be written in a tiny share-house studio in the far-off city of Sydney, Australia - it seemed that something special was beginning. The emergence of Australian ex-pat Deepchild, now residing in Germany, is one that surprised many at first, but catch a snippet... Read More
Lost & Found @ Revolver

  Revolver on Chapel St means different things to different people. Colonel Tan’s Thai menu attracts a trendy, mid-week crowd, keen on curries, retro decor and funky tracks from days gone by. Original Banksys dot the walls, dating back to when only ‘cool people’ knew of the antagonist and his emerging form of graffiti. Shepard Fairey’s iconic Obey images paste the hallways to where The...

After a series of serious-business nights of partying in 2011, Summer Series is back for another round, and with no stranger to shenanigans at Revolver in tow, Butch.  The much-respected experimental house and techno artist spent his early days as a graffiti artist before breaking both of his arms in an attempt to paint a train and decided to make his way into the music industry instead....

Brad Cameron has always been obsessed with music. As far back as the young gun can remember, his earliest memory of being blown away by music was getting Thriller by Michael Jackson for Christmas - and then taping Original Sin by INXS from the radio when he was about 7 or 8 years old. “Once I discovered hip hop a couple of years later, it was all over,” he chimes. “So I went out and got a part...
