HOUNDED //

Australia's HOUNDED samples one of the best lines Adele ever came out with and layers it up with some killer production on the highly addictive Us. The track is taken from his Hearts EP which you can hear the rest of here. Grab Us for free below:

Naysayer & Gilsun

Aussie production duo Naysayer & Gilson have put out this expertly crafted remix of fellow Aussie trio I'lls Mine's Here or My End's Here or Nineteen - I don't know what that title means either, but it's definitely worth a listen. Grab a free download below:

Twin Caverns

I thought I was done with Bon Iver reworks, remixes, refixes and everything else in between as soon as that stems competition started on Indaba last year - all until I heard Sydney duo Twin Caverns take on Hinnom, TX that is. Of all the re-s to choose from, 'rework' is definitely the most fitting here, rather than something borrowed and redone, it's crafted into something completely beautiful and different - especially around the 3:10 mark - and for that I'm in love with it.

Surf Dad

Australian duo Surf Dad have made me very happy over the past few months. They have a real talent for crafting incredibly beautiful electronic music that always seems so simply put together, organic even. Today they sent over this unsurprisingly wonderful remix which they've put together for their friends Tom Day & Monsoonsiren, download it for free below:

Cambio Sun

There's nothing quite like coming across the perfect piece of music. Take a listen to Intuition from Australian producer Cambio Sun below:

George Maple

Hearing George Maple's voice gently crooning against the backdrop of faint crackles whilst watching the sun go down is without doubt the most beautiful thing I've experienced today. Grab the ever so lovely OPST for free below:

Casper Zazz

 I avoid making a deal about the age of people making the music I share on here, but I'm nearly 21 years old and still trying to find my 'talent' in life, Casper Zazz are a Melbourne trio who can make music as good as this at 16, resulting in me sitting here in some sort of envious admiration of them.  This one is also a heads up to fans of Flume etc., take a listen to their track Make Believe below:

J.Francis

Brisbane's J.Francis makes sultry dreampop warm enough to melt the coldest of hearts. The tracks below are taken from the debut album Almost, which is available for download at a name-your-price basis over on bandcamp right now. Take a listen below:

Surf Dad

Australian brotherly duo Surf Dad have been one of my favourite finds of the year so far, fusing a number of different electronic styles together they create a sound that really makes them worth listening to against the current abundance of producers on the internet. Stream & download the UKG-inspired No.5 below:

Broken House

Thanks Crack in the Road for pointing me in the direction of Broken House. The sleepy I Fell provides a short but sweet introduction to her music. I think I use the word 'beautiful' far too regularly on here, but really that's all it is. Stream & download below:

Leaks

I'm pretty sure I said the exact same thing like two days ago, but whatever's going on in Australia at the moment it's working, I'm receiving fantastic submissions left-right-and-centre from over there. And here I have an absolutely beautiful piece of music from Melbourne-based Leaks. I don't know what it is about those vocals, but they're heart-breaking.  Stay is taken from the De Landa EP forthcoming on Absent Fever, stream below:

Snakadaktal

This track is super interesting, it's from a Melbourne band called Snakadaktal and it's called Dance Bear. It seesaws between these soft verses that could easily be mistaken for a cut from an xx album and an explosive chorus which I have to admit kind of caught me by surprise a little when I first heard it. But that whole contrast works really well, it's a blending of styles which I don 't think can be pulled off too easy by most, but Snakadaktal have it down to perfection. Stream Dance Bear below:
