Following their latest single ‘Never Give Up’ via B1 Recordings/Ministry Of Sound which was awarded ‘The Essential New Tune’ accolade by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, Mathame now launch their new multiplatform cinematic project, PHOENIX. The interdisciplinary brothers Amadeo and Matteo Giovanelli have innovated PHOENIX as an online stage and interactive space for both artists and music lovers.
PHOENIX is an enigmatic planet in orbit around the Earth. Using the latest 3D real-time technologies, it has hundreds of different settings where DJ’s and musicians can perform in outlandish scenarios and backgrounds. The groundbreaking project took two months to develop and, in future, will also be a web community akin to computer game and virtual universe, Second Life, where people can meet with their own avatar.
The virtual-reality world of PHOENIX recreates a kind of magic and emotion that listeners can immerse themselves into. Mathame’s reimagining of what the landscape of live streaming is capable of, gives the medium a uniquely innovative dimension. The project isn’t only a visual experience; PHOENIX is also raising funds for CESVI (Bergamo’s Hospital & Old Persons Assistance) via streaming platforms.

Homebrew is a long-running PBS program representing independent artists from Australia and New Zealand. Maddy and Kurt genre hop through stacks of new releases and old favourites every Monday afternoon at 3pm.Maddy Mac and Kurt are both really committed to local and Australian music and finding themselves at as many live gigs as possible.
“With fewer gigs and sponsors contributing to the station and the arts sector taking a huge hit, making sure that bands can still be heard and supported means a lot to us, and we feel so lucky to be able to do so on Homebrew! You can help us keep going by signing up as a member now.”
MADDY
- Simona Castricum – Supertough feat. M8triachy
Solid, euphoric dance beats that bring the juicy joy, and a most sexy video clip
- Nardean – aux chord
Hot hip-hop from Sydney’s West sung loud and proud, ‘I feel like an aux chord, how I’m fittin all these stereotypes’
- Frank Yamma – Beginning of the Day (Haus Bilal remix)
Frank’s voice is always stunning, and I love the layers in this piece – adding electronic elements, percussion patches, harmonies, field recordings. That might sound busy, but it combines so well.
- Chitra – Leaving
I find myself humming the chorus quite.a.lot. Guitar lines that will waft you off into the sunset.
- Junior Fiction – Same Dream
A great fun slice of power pop – off-kilter guitars, an element of mania, great deep voice.
KURT
1. Mystery Guest – Alibi
There’s just something completely mesmerising about Melbourne via Adelaide duo Mystery Guest, and their song Alibi has been swimming around my head since I first heard it in 2019. I caught a live set early on in their live game and was instantly a fan, though I had seen both members play live previously in other killer bands, including Peak Twins and Prefect (formerly Bitch Prefect). Mystery Guest is a unique mix of catchy hooks, hypnotising vocals, danceability and clever production, without any pretension and without things getting too complicated. Their debut album, Octagon City, is flawless. I highly recommend checking out a live set, when that’s a thing again.
- The Native Cats – Run With The Roses
The Native Cats is another duo, and another one that needs to be seen live to completely understand why they’re so incredibly special. I’ve always been a fan of (The Native Cats’ singer and programmer) Chloe Alison Escott’s music, and while my focus is rarely on lyrics when I’m listening to music, she’s one of my all-time favourite lyricists. Again, it’s the simplicity of these songs that is key – it’s not basic, but these two pick a theme and run with it, and I like that a lot. Run With The Roses is off The Native Cats’ latest 7”, Two Creation Myths, which also features the great b-side, Sanremo.
- SuperEgo – Outer Body Stranger feat. Sampa the Great
SuperEgo is a collective of producers, rappers, singers and multi-instrumentalists based in Fremantle, originally making a name for themselves as POW! Negro. They changed their name in 2018 coinciding with a more collaborative approach to themes that the group were expressing through their lyrics and music. Their 7-track EP, Nautilus, is an exceptional debut, but the standout track is Outer Body Stranger, in no small way thanks to the contribution from Sampa the Great. Everything she touches turns to gold.
- NGAIIRE – Boom
NGAIIRE’s singles have always been strong, but for me Boom is timeless. It’s a perfect R n’ B track on par with or better than anything else like it happening around the world right now, and I could easily have this track on a loop for life. Boom makes me really excited to see what she does next. While Boom will be hard to top, I reckon NGAIIRE is only just getting started.
- CB Radio – Time Goes Slow feat. Kahlia Parker
CB Radio, the solo project of Carsten Bruhn, is dropping album-length, home-recorded demos relentlessly via Bandcamp, and it’s a wild ride following the trajectory. His songwriting is succinct and smart, but I can’t go past the contagious belter, Time Goes Slow. Time Goes Slow features Carsten’s partner (and his partner in running Roolette Records) Kahlia Parker, who was on guitar and vocals in much-missed Melbourne 3-piece Girl Germs. I’d love to see this power pop hit machine be the new direction for CB Radio, but I know that he’ll continue to surprise us with future releases, and I’m OK with that.
May 18 – May 31 2020

The global pandemic may have shut down many aspects of life as we know it, but PBS 106.7FM’s annual Radio Festival is not one of them. The good folk at PBS are once again calling on its listeners to dig deep and support the station that supports them, with its oh-so-apt 2020 theme ‘You Can’t Stop The Music’. Bringing you the best emerging, independent, specialist and underrepresented music 24-hours a day, 365 days a year for over four decades, PBS is the antidote we all need in these trying times, and is seeking your help to keep the station alive and the tunes spinning long into a post-COVID future. So alert the group chat, bombard your next zoom meeting and call everyone you know, because this is going to be a big one!

Tune into 106.7FM to catch tales from PBS’ past, cherished memories, guest appearances and your favourite PBS presenters sharing their thoughts on the many, many benefits of being a PBS member including, of course, a treasure trove of prizes.
“PBS has supported the Melbourne music community for over 40 years. Over that time most of the station’s income has been derived from sponsorship and membership. With many businesses closed due to COVID-19, most of our traditional sponsors are not in a position to support us at this time. Therefore, it is important for our survival that listeners sign up as members and that current members renew. Many people affected by the current restrictions are finding a sense of normality in listening to PBS. I urge them all to dig deep and support us with memberships and/or donations during our 2020 Radio Festival. You Can’t Stop The Music!”
– David Heard – Acid Country Presenter
The 2020 major prizes on offer to all those who join up or renew their PBS membership from Friday 1 May are:

Become a performer member and you could score a Baked Goods live session video recording, or sign up your business for the chance at $1000 worth of custom merchandise printing from Das T’Shirt Automat. Perhaps your pet’s membership has expired, renew your furry friend and you could be the proud owner of a hand painted pet portrait by Archibald finalist, Cameron Potts.
Plus each day of Radio Festival from Monday 18 May to Sunday 31 May, there’ll be a different spread of daily prizes to be won including merch packs, food and drink hampers, tickets, vouchers and more, all kindly donated by local businesses, venues, and generous members of our community.

It’s really important that this great radio station can continue to support bands like us forever so please sign up to be a member during this year’s Radio Festival.”
– Sam Teskey of The Teskey Brothers

It was Tensnake’s big reveal at the beginning of the year, a new forthcoming album entitled L.A. Now he cements the release with the second single ‘Somebody Else’, again showcasing his wide-ranging production abilities and further building in the influence he has received from recently living in the city of angels. It’s a track full of pop synths, sublime vocals and electric baselines. Destined for leading playlists across streaming and radio networks alike, featuring British, songwriter and vocalist Boy Matthews, who provides a fresh dimension and emotion to the track.
No stranger to successful collaborations, Tensnake has worked with the upper echelons of music including Nile Rogers, three-time Grammy award winner Stuart Price, Jamie Lidell, MNEK and Fiora to name but a few.
Set to follow in the same successful fashion as his previous first album Glow, Tensnake once again incorporates bags of pop appeal with a hint of his signature dance, disco and boogie style.
