| Voltaire Twins - Young Adult Pop, Dance, Electronic | 18/05/2012 |
With their dancey beats and fun melodies, Voltaire Twins manages to stand apart from the rest of the indie-electronic music crowd.
An ode to youth, Young Adult is a celebration of naivety, and adolescent zeal. The lyrics tell a loose narrative of teenage callowness and overconfidence. Musically it is a bombastic pop song, drenched in echo and layered with brassy synth’s. Within seconds of it being uploaded, the blogosphere loved it.

| JudahCall - Hoover Electronic, Rock, Live Performance | 14/05/2012 |
Inspired by Mutemath, Paramore and Family Force 5, JudahCall's sound is a blend of driving beats, tempered emotion and raw, unconventional sound combinations.
Inspired by Erwin McManus' book 'Wide Awake' which encourages curiosity, discovery, exploration, and inevitably moving towards growth. Equally inspired by Ken & Charis' 20 month old daughter Halle just watching her never ending curiosity as she tries to see, touch, taste, and do everything while often not knowing any limits.

| Karoshi - Sigmund Freud's Evil Nephew Electronic, Instrumental, Downbeat, Atmospheric | 10/05/2012 |
Brothers Beres and Dave Jackson form Karoshi, an electronic/acoustic duo from Sydney, who explore delicate soundfields whilst maintaining
Shiny synths battle with subsonic bottom end over a half-time scrawl with clicketty spikes of rhythm. All this is under-girded by Karoshi's usual attention to melodic detail.
Other tracks by Karoshi: Blood In The Rain - Downside Upshot
| Mitzi - All I Heard Pop, Dance, Rock | 10/05/2012 |
Mitzi comply with a classic pop sensibility. Entwined by a backdrop of disco beats, syncopated guitar and bass grooves lies the Mitzi sound- dreamy vocals and a vintage analog warmth.
Mitzi’s blend of lazy disco grooves and anthemic pop hooks is reminiscent of DFA’s own Holy Ghost, admittedly with a sunnier disposition and typically Australian breezyness. All 3 tracks are excellent. These guys will be worth looking out for in 2011, without doubt.”– Juno

| The Fingers Malone Ensemble - Push Electronic, Chill, Dub | 04/05/2012 |
From bass heavy clubs in East London to martinis on Byron Bay beaches. Fingers Malone create music that simultaneously oozes the feeling of late heady nights and lazy long afternoons.
‘Push’ is a beautiful tragedy set to a hypnotic electronic beat. It tells the tale of a girl who blazes her own path in a world full of pressure to conform and appease. She cannot, however, shake her feelings of duty to others and this brings about her ultimate downfall.

| Flight Facilities - Foreign Language Electronic, Dance, Pop | 03/05/2012 |
A production duo combining the blissed out pop production of Quincy Jones, the dancefloor hedonism of Daft Punk and the intoxicating head rush of the best night of your life.
There's an undeniable slink to "Foreign Language," helped no doubt by the silky harmonies that vocalist Jess possesses, which ride the subtle Philly disco style instrumental embellishments with natural aplomb. It's doesn't sound that far away from a classic Crazy P jam, which is obviously a good thing. - junodownload

| Flume - Sleepless Electronic, Dance, Hip Hop, Trance | 03/05/2012 |
A Sydney beat maker who's only 19 years of age. His first taste for producing began at 13 where his addiction for plug-ins, sample packs & vintage analogue hardware started.
"Sleepless" moves at a steady chillwave-ish pace with no shortage of lush chords or skillfully pitched vocal glitches (chops of Anthony For Cleopatra we presume) to float alongside the irresistible bassline and head-nod-worthy drum programming. - XLR8R
| Lanrae - Dancer Electronic, Pop | 01/05/2012 |
Lanrae - a new name and a fresh beginning. The singer songwriter Lanrae grew up around Bondi, and ran away from Sydney as soon she finished school!
Dancer is about moving beyond the thoughts we have about ourselves that keep us from being as amazing and complete and fabulous as we can be. It was borne from the end of a time when the artist was battling with depression.
