Noname: Room 25
- Chicago’s reputation for violence and gun crime has done interesting things to its hip-hop scene. On one side you have the gritty drill music, with rappers like Chief Keef attempting to soundtrack the city's dark underbelly. Then there’s the new wave of conscious rappers, who preach positivity and optimism in the face of oppression.
Citizen Maze: Serenity In The Woods
- Analogue Attic has just dropped the inaugural EP from Citizen Maze. Hailing from Melbourne, Maze, aka Adam McCoy, is new to Attic’s roster. Albrecht La'Brooy is behind the ever-consistent Analogue Attic, fulfilling their mission statement (if one can call it that) to showcase “the gentle side of electronic music down under”. It’s been a great outlet for Albrecht La'Brooy’s own productions as well as those by Sleep D, Udmo and Rings Around Saturn (amongst others).
Sleaford Mods: Sleaford Mods
- By now, Sleaford Mods' music has become a well-executed mnemonic state. Gruff vocals spit a sardonic and biting diatribe over simplistic loops, cemented into a style unmatched by others. When I first encountered them it was like running into a drunk bloke ranting at the pub, a recipe that I found surprisingly entertaining; it’s been a grouse time since. Coming into this new self-titled EP, Sleaford Mods operate from a code of their own. Variety might not be the duo’s strong suit but when the product is consistently brilliant, can we really complain, at this point?

Adani admits to clearing land and failing to report it to Queensland Government
Adani has admitted to clearing six hectares of bushland and failing to declare this in its regular reporting to the Queensland Government.
The land was cleared on the Carmichael mine site to drill pads near boreholes and build tracks, and is approximately the size of 10 Brisbane residential lots.
Conservationists are accusing Adani of breaching the Oaths Act as lodging their reports requires signing a statutory declaration stating the documents are correct.
This brings the total land cleared on the Carmichael mine site to 127 hectares.
