Lastlings

Lastlings have announced the follow up to their much loved debut album First Contact. Their second album Perfect World is out everywhere June 23rd 2023 on Liberation Records and Rose Avenue Records.

On Perfect World:
Perfect World is a journey into adulthood. This record is a diary. These stories represent our early 20s. It is a journey to finding independence. It’s probably the most vulnerable music we have ever made. We want this album to let people know that they aren’t alone and that they don’t need to rush in life, to take things slow. It is a reminder that you will be okay being on your own and that the next time you say something to yourself along the lines of “In a Perfect World”, to think of the positives in our lives.

The announce arrives via an album trailer shot in Death Valley last year and a fresh new single Noise:

“Noise is about reminiscing on an old relationship. The good memories. Talking late at night. Going to raves together. Dancing. All the arguing and making up. All the… Noise.”

Currently based in Melbourne, the Japanese-Australian siblings found inspiration for their new works in the studio on the Gold Coast.

Their 2020 debut First Contact continues to be well-loved around the world. An album where the duo looked to Tokyo and its surroundings, taking inspiration from their heritage and the country’s futuristic charm. This time, they build on this curiosity and move towards the unknown. Expect sweeping soundscapes felt within your chest, expressed through a visually surreal palette.

Since First Contact, Lastlings have taken their music to the world. Completing their debut, sold-out run of Australia, and North America, plus a unique stop at Sundream in Mexico, playing beachside sets with their label heads RÜFÜS DU SOL. Lastlings recently completed an LA weekender for 88rising’s Head In The Clouds event. Lastlings’ live shows grow more complex with hauntingly beautiful visual elements to complement their sound.

Perfect World is an ambitious work combining sound, art and reflection. It’s an auspicious first glimpse into a universe, built by Amy and Josh Dowdle, and a promise of what’s yet to come.

Sam Alfred

Australian electronic artist Sam Alfred has rapidly gained attention with his distinctive sound, blending jazz-tipped house, deep cuts, and UK garage, with a signature house and techno vibe reminiscent of the 90s. His standout ROADBLOCKS EP, released on the globally recognized tastemaker label ‘Running Back’, has received widespread acclaim. In 2024, Sam’s remix of ‘Foam’ by Grammy-nominated band *Royel Otis* further showcased his forward-thinking production style.

Sam’s collaborative portfolio includes celebrated artists like LB Labat, Lawrence Guy, DJ Boring, Kyle Starkey, and Club Angel, highlighting his versatility. Globally, he has sold out shows across Australia, Asia, and Europe/UK, and performed at prestigious festivals such as Forbidden Fruit, Fly Open Air, PollerWiesen, and Pitch Music & Arts. A memorable performance at AVA Belfast Boiler Room solidified his presence in the electronic music community.

In 2024, Sam also took centre stage as the main support for Fred Again during his Australia tour, further establishing his position as a major force in the electronic scene.

Tonix

TONIX will release the 6-track EP project ‘from nineteen to twenty one’ preceded by a series of singles from May 22 through October 2026.

Juicy Romance

The Scandalizer from down under, Juicy Romance is the Australia-born, London-based
producer, vocalist and lyricist, promising steamy indulgence and dance floor hedonism. From her

roots as a

violin-playing, rock-skipping, small-town country girl, Juicy has evolved into an
island-hopping, club-rocking party queen, infecting the modern world with her playful blend

of bouncy “pop-turned-club” bangers, as coined by Mixmag.

Her productions and DJ sets build a dance floor environment where clubbers can experience the
best of both worlds; sprinklings of sexy, bad-bitch vocals, over ass-shaking, earth-quaking club

floor fillers.

Fittingly, she recently supported The Dare for his sold out Sydney and Melbourne headline shows
and completed a 15 date European tour with Boiler Room at the start of 2025. On the cusp of her
North American debut, Juicy’s musical and lyrical explorations are set to send the world into a
crazed meltdown symptomised by high temperatures, racing heartbeats and addiction to the

Dancefloor.

Memphis LK

Memphis LK has become a defining force in Australia’s next generation of electronic voices. Emerging from Melbourne’s world-class club scene, her music taps into the sanctuary and transcendence of the dancefloor, a space to let go, reconnect, and escape. Her transportive live sets fuse DJing with live vocals and saxophone, creating an immersive, euphoric experience that mirrors the emotional landscape of her songs.

A steady run of releases has built Memphis into one of Australia’s most exciting electronic exports. Her latest singles Out My Body and Some Kinda Heaven landed triple j rotation, earned placements on major editorial playlists across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music, and gained huge support from the likes of Rolling Stone and Junkee. Earlier releases That Boy’s Not Nice picked up New Music Friday support across the UK, US, Japan, India and Europe alongside extensive triple j airplay, while Skyflower earned a triple j First Play and high rotation on SYN FM – further establishing her consistent presence across Australia’s tastemaker ecosystem.

Her breakout momentum has been matched by powerful live demand, with Memphis recently supporting Sofi Tukker and The Veronicas at AO Live (30 January 2026), performing to a crowd of 10,000, her sold-out Warehouse tour across Australia (May 2026), and being added to the coveted Bizarro Festival lineups (October 2026). Her debut True Love Rave tour (2024) sold out, and her performances continue to be defined by high energy, emotional release and immersive live instrumentation that sets her apart in the electronic space.

Memphis LK captures a sound that exists between nostalgia and futurism, club intensity and emotional depth, reaffirming her status as one of Australia’s most compelling and fast-rising electronic artists on the global stage.

Mel Blue

Mel Blue are an electronic trio who fuse nostalgia and modernity, crafting dance music imbued with a combination of reflection and forward-thinking creativity. Splitting their lives between Melbourne and London, Oscar Sharah, Jacob Siles, and Luke Gerber have built a solid reputation for their euphoric hybrid dance music. At its core their sound is melancholy and introspective, yet delicately balanced with wistful textures and filtered through a rose-tinted lens.

Born out of the vibrant artistic scenes of Sydney and Melbourne, Mel Blue underwent a transformative evolution when the trio relocated to London in 2023. Their resulting album, ‘nomorejacketsplease’, is an evocative reflection of this pivotal move, due for release on Nettwerk in September.

Infused with underground bass influences (jungle, dubstep, DnB, UKG, and breakbeat) the album captures both the excitement and uncertainty of starting anew in a foreign city. It’s a bold stylistic shift from 2023’s ‘Sanctuary Point’ and is ultimately a story of redemption, friendship, and growth, narrated through fast tempos, atmospheric synths, and danceable yet contemplative soundscapes.

Werms

WERMS is the new electronic project from Melbourne DJ/producer Jack Shoe, moving between acid house, electro and big beat while pulling in more modern corners of house and club music. Shaped by ’90s rave culture, the late 2000s bloghouse and electro era and the sounds of today’s dancefloors, WERMS digs across decades while keeping one foot in Jack’s indie past, with remixes and edits providing a few nods to his former band life.

“I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.” James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem

Jack spent 15 years as a founding member and guitarist of Indie-Dance band Northeast Party House, but his history behind the decks goes back to the indie-sleaze days of 2007. DJing both solo and as part of NPH DJs, he’s played festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Beyond The Valley and Big Day Out, and shared bills with The Presets, CC:DISCO!, Boys Noize and more.

Now swapping the guitar for CDJs, WERMS brings those years spent in bands, clubs and festivals into something new, twisted, raw and euphoric, crawling up from the underground.
