LISTEN: Ollo

The lead track from Ollo’s ace second record gets a Dsico workover below. The campaign steps up a notch.

Radge’s first mix hasn’t even hit my ears and here and it’s 100% recommended. This boy plays hot records.

Everyone’s fave dubstep mutha Eli Murray is a hippie at heart, check his mash of dark psych Floyd outtakes (hosted by Southern Steppa).

Si’s capturing some amazing moments for all to read in a day by day breakdown of the Red Bull Music Academy. It’s pretty much essential reading.

LISTEN: Catnip

They can be earnest and their name is a little geeky, but Catnip’s dreamy Mazzy Star-esque pop is lovely too.

Listen: Sydney post punk

with one comment

Post punk out of Sydney in the early ’80s was better than you’d realise if you’re just reading the standard music press. No Night Sweats has obscure but great mp3s pouring out of its html.

Listen: Julian Nation

I promise this isn’t becoming an indie pop blog, but this song from Melbourne’s Julian Nation is irresistable. Plus you can keep going to Book Club Records for songs from Jens, Lucksmiths, Pipas and more.

I love Camera Obscura’s delicate indie pop. Here’s a remix of Books written for girls by Synonym and the lovely Lloyd, I’m ready to be heartbroken.
