- If, like me, you feel like you’re losing touch with underground beats -maybe you were never in touch to begin with?- don’t worry. Kat Martin, Good Samaritron and in fact a huge chunk of Australia’s leftfield beats scene are here to help you out, with an armful of Aussy Bangers.

- If asked to name the biggest bands to come out of Brisbane in recent years, An Horse would probably not be the first to come to mind. Yet the duo who left Queensland for the US a decade ago have an impressive list of indie artists they have toured with, and are now back with their first album in eight years, Modern Air.

- Monstera Deliciosa is the right name for this record. It’s huge and absolutely unrepentant in all its highly confected, grinning ostentatiousness. In some way it seems still larger because, for all that Laneous has been about forever, doing his thing in multiple outfits, in multiple artforms, for a decade, I didn’t really see this coming from Australia's neo-soul mischief maker.

- Green Chimneys Records have released the first tape in a new series of limited cassettes, titled the Lo-fi Tape Series. With it the label will provide Brisbane beatmakers and underground electronic musicians an outlet for twenty minutes worth of downtempo beats. Each release will feature two artists (one per side).

- Almost four years ago to the day, Holly Herndon released her last full-length album, Platform, the most high-profile record the artist has released to date. With its ground-breaking, stereo speaker-leaping production, Herndon navigated the listener through deconstructed dance music and disquieting sound collages.
