Lara D - Better Be Myself
Eora/Sydney based rapper, singer and lyricist Lara D has today announced her debut EP, YOURS TRULY, which is set for release on the 10th of June. The track is an exhibition in self worth and empowerment and the resulting feeling of euphoria after accomplishment via self-determination. 

Nite Fleit - Like I Used To Be
Nite Fleit has released another single from her forthcoming, debut record Day Fleit / Nite Fleit which is set for release via Steel City Dance Discs. The latest single, titled Like I Used To Be features vocals from fellow producer Mesme. The track is deeply evocative and melancholic, as a glitzy percussion combines with glistening synths. 

Purient - WBWU
Naarm/Melbourne based producer and vocalist Purient has released her new EP WBWU. A change of tone from the artist, the 3 track EP leans into the instrumental worlds of ambient, downtempo as well as a shining alternative electronic closer. 

Jewel Owusu - American Honey
Boorloo/Perth based Filipino and Ghanian singer-songwriter Jewel Owusu is continuing her vibrant run of singles this year, releasing American Honey. The single is an infectious, dreamy, anthemic R&B cut, solidifying her as a master in moulding classic 80s influences with the glitz and glam of contemporary pop music.

Shygirl - Firefly
Earlier this week, UK-based experimental pop artist Shygirl announced her debut full length record Nympth, which is set for release on the 30th of September. The album is set to reveal a deep layer of inner reflection from the artist, wrapped in deconstructed dance melodies and warped vocal tones. To tease the record, she’s released Firefly, a glitchy, club ready club track. 

ONEFOUR - Cruise Control
Dharug/Western Sydney superstars have released a new, huge piano laden, in your phase single in the form of Cruise Control. The single leaves nothing behind and features ferocious vocal deliveries from the members, above a piano laden, percussion driven hip-hop beat.
