Label: Ultra Records
Powerhouse duo DVBBS returns to Ultra Music with their highly anticipated “Nothing To See Here” album, which features 9 tracks encompassing much-loved past hits and brand new tunes. It delivers all the sounds they have become known and loved for, from the groovy and soulful vibes of “Swim” and “Loyal” to the dancefloor-ready beats of “Jackin’” and “Wrong About You.” Listeners will recognize past hits “GOMF,” “Need U,” and “Somebody Like You,” which all play a part in telling the story of this past year’s experiences through the boys’ eyes. The release of “Nothing To See Here” comes hot on the heels of DVBBS‘s single “No Time” with Wiz Khalifa and Cheat Codes, proving that the duo’s style is as well versed as ever and always evolving.
“‘Nothing To See Here‘ has been a project we’ve been unraveling for the last year, that digs deeper into our life with productions and songwriting that paint a vivid picture of what experiences we were going through.” – DVBBS
Few producers have risen to the top in the electronic music scene as quickly as DVBBS, who captured the industry’s attention with hits like “Tsunami” and “Not Going Home” and never let it go. The Canadian brothers Alex and Christopher have been continuously cultivating their sound since their debut in 2012, and have racked up an impressive display of collaborations with renowned names from diverse musical backgrounds. From hip hop superstar Juicy J to the NERVO twins, DVBBS continues to prove there’s nothing they can’t accomplish. The brothers have played everywhere from Lollapalooza to Tomorrowland, though they’ve been busy in the studio during the global pandemic.

Even amid a changing music landscape in the global pandemic, R3HAB has been on fire, and now he’s back with a hot remix and a brand new original single.

On the more radio-friendly spectrum, R3HAB‘s new single “love u again” featuring Olivia Holt is a vocal-driven, bittersweet progressive pop anthem, out now via Hollywood Records.

Dutch/Moroccan DJ and producer Fadi El Ghoul, better known as R3HAB, has been trailblazing his way through dance music for the better part of the last decade. From his breakthrough hit remix of Afrojack, Pitbull and Ne-Yo‘s “Give Me Everything” to his dance anthems, such as “All Around The World (La La La)” and “Lullaby,” which have collectively amassed over 600M streams, to his collaborations with the likes of ZAYN, Andy Grammar, Timmy Trumpet and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most talented and forward-thinking artists in the game. He partnered with Spotify and GATTÜSO to create the first-ever official “mint” single release. In 2016 he founded his label CYB3RPVNK, which has since collected a talented roster of artists like Cityzen, Skytech, Fafaq, and more to serve as a platform for talented up-and-comers. R3HAB himself continues to evolve and diversify his sound by working with a variety of artists around the globe, experimenting with everything from hip-hop to pop through his collaborations. With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB is only beginning his journey. Keep an eye out for what’s up to next!
South London based four piece Earl Gray Collective, immerse the listener in smooth, warm vocals and funky melodies in their newest offering ‘Love It Flows’. Their mix of indie rock/pop is exceedingly vibrant, and their effortless and polished tone is wonderfully mesmeric. ‘Love It Flows’ carries a bluesy base with ethereal and sophisticated piano keys, wrapped in catchy and expressive lyrics. The band’s distinctive playfulness is infectious upon listening, and their elements of blues and funk are fluently incorporated to create a truly enticing sound.
Discussing their new single, the band said: “With our third single of 2020 we got adventurous with a strong bass groove, varied time-signatures and a sing-along vocal hook. The song itself speaks into the frustrations of living in a world so often filled with fear and the journey of choosing to live by love instead.”
Earl Gray Collective bring their talents together from Cardiff, Hampshire, Woking and Australia, and their individual personalities shine through their artistry. Members Will Gray (Vocals, Piano, Guitar), Katie Earl (Drums), Zac Guy (Electric Guitar) and Alex Neil (Bass) have defined their collective style and have already built a strong fanbase, as well as gained support from the likes of Alice Amel (Riverside Radio). With 2020 proving an exciting year for their music, there is much more to come from this multi-talented four piece.

After an abrupt stop and a long pause, Moreland City Council is gearing up to hit play on Brunswick Music Festival again in March 2021. Things are going to look, feel and potentially sound, different. This is the new normal after all, but it’s the re-imagining that makes it so exciting. So, where to from here?
To accomodate for COVID-19 restrictions, the BMF team will be keeping things as flexible as possible while still finding ways to deliver special collaborations and events and fantastic opportunities for local artists, venues and audiences – dedicated and excited to bring the relief of live music to you in whichever way they can.
Since the needle skipped on this year’s event, the world as we know it has been turned upside down. Now more than ever, music feels essential and the tenets that Brunswick Music Festival is built on – neighbourhood and community, inclusivity, diversity and sustainability along with creating a sense of place and safe spaces – seem less like ideals and more like non-negotiables.
With the confinement cultivating a hotbed of creativity, the BMF team are keen to pick up what you want to put down by providing a platform for your audacious ideas, born under the cover of isolation, to be liberated through presentation in their next festival.
They want to work with you to realise your multifaceted, music-based vision in a special one-of-a-kind festival show, in all its boldness and daring, as it speaks to the new world we find ourselves living in.
They also want to hear from musicians, music groups, bands, ensembles or venues in the Brunswick area, who wants to be involved in the 2021 festival.
Local legend and champion of the music community Emily Ulman will once again take charge of expertly crafting the 2021 program, which is set to comprise a collective exhale, a healthy dose of togetherness, a huge cup of joy and some really, really, really great live music experiences.

Multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Chelsea Warner unveils her sassy new single ‘Back On My Bullshit’ today.
Since releasing her debut single ‘How Come You Don’t Pick Up Your Phone’ in April, Chelsea has been busy writing and producing music with some of her contemporaries: Emalia, Nardean, Sarah Wolfe, Sarah Saint James, Bri Clark, Doolie, Charlotte Adelle, Jesabel, and SKŸE – who is also managed by Right Hand Management (Michael Parisi).
Speaking about her new single today, Chelsea says “Back On My Bullshit’ is a track about being unapologetically selfish in the name of putting yourself first – without worrying about ramifications. It represents a shift in focus from over-investing in others, to putting that energy back into yourself. This song is for every recovering people pleaser. Despite being unashamedly problematic, it is all for seeking the finer things in life by chasing only self-fulfilment.”
The 90’s pop/R&B feel is reminiscent of early Britney hits, while Sumatra’s dynamic modern hip-hop inspired production brings it into 2020. Swirly synths and sub-bass combine to form a track that, with a feature from up-and-coming Sydney rapper Zyad, is mercilessly self-indulgent.
Praise for Chelsea Warner:
“The vocals are mint! The keys glide so nice like. This was already a huge mood even before Chelsea put Kevin’s bass beneath it”. Dave Ruby Howe, triple j
“Enjoying this first serving from Chelsea and milan ring fans might find something here!” Declan Byrne, triple j
“With a single like How Come You Don’t Pick Up Your Phone behind her, it’s clear that Chelsea Warner is on the cusp of something special. She’s excited to show the world her strengths in songwriting and with a debut EP teasingly on the way, it sounds like this will be Chelsea’s year.” Pilerats
Future Mag Music ‘Future Focus’, April 2020
Chelsea Warner ‘Back On My Bullshit’ is out now through Ditto Music.

What is your name and role within Petric?
Jason Petric, guitarist, singer, songwriter… and I do all the grunt work
How did Petric form?
The evolution of Petric continues to roll. Petric really took shape in the summer of 2013. At the time it was the “Jason Petric” project. I had a few solo albums out, and was doing my best to dig into the industry. Jordan and I were gigging all over Manitoba. Bars, clubs, festivals, every opportunity we could get to perform, we took it. Tom started making guest appearances at all these shows. He would come up to sing a song or two, and it was always those songs that sounded the best. The chemistry, the harmonies, the energy that the 3 of us had when performing those songs, it was undeniable. Shortly after that, we committed to changing the project to PETRIC.
Where are you currently based?
Winnipeg MB is where we have always been out of, and continue to call home.
How has your COVID experience been so far?
I think most of the band has quite enjoyed having the summer home. No traveling, no rehearsals, extra time with the family. Its all good. Fortunately, everyone has been healthy, and we’ve had this new music to prepare.
You have a single ‘Deja Vu’ out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?
I always thought the title Deja Vu was cool. This song was written years ago. We had really really wanted this track to be part of the 18 Ends EP, but it never happened at that time. This song really grew into the song it is now over a lot of time, and of effort. Our band, and producer really helps us a lot with finding the sound at times, and this song was definitely a collaboration from everyone
How did you go about writing De Ja Vu?
We wrote this song with Seth Mosely, and Brad Rempel from High Valley a few years ago. It was an awesome experience to work with both those guys. I think we all knew this song was going to get recorded one day. It instantly felt good.
You also have a new album on the way, please tell us about the song writing process and what the album means to you:
This album means absolutely everything to us. This album is PETRIC. We must have written 50 songs for this project, and listened to 50 more. The band, Tom, Jordan, our drummer Jon Plet, bassist Ben Mak, and myself, we rehearsed for months, leading up to every studio session. We challenged each other every step of the way(and it wasn’t always friendly). So to be here now, and feel very satisfied with the music, it’s a great feeling of accomplishment.
Where and when did you record/produce?
We recorded at Bedside Studios in Winnipeg. We flew our producer Chris Baseford up a couple times(Once in the middle of January when it was -40…sorry dude).
What programs/instruments did you use and how did you approach the recording process?
I’m pretty sure we didn’t use any spoons… everything else made it haha
Who are you listening to at the moment?
Chris Cornell. His voice has really found a home in my soul the last few months.
What do you like to do away from music?
Family. I’m newly married to a lovely girl named Laura. I have a step daughter named Hunter, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. There’s a lot of love in our house, and its the only thing that I want to be doing.
What’s planned for the remainder of 2020 going into 2021?
Like you mentioned, we have a new album coming out. We’ve shot 2 music videos already. 1 more needs to be filmed. We’ve already started to discuss getting back into the studio for February. We have a few more songs we want to get out of us.
Favourite food and place to hangout?
The Forks/The Common in Winnipeg. The Forks has always been the meeting place in Manitoba. It’s got such a cool atmosphere. It’s my favorite place in Winnipeg forsure.

SUPPORT FOR TRACKS OFF ‘COLLABORATIONS OF VERY ISOLATED DELINQUENTS ‘19’
“What a mix of styles and sounds the Bootleg boys have chucked in the mixing bowl on this one.”
Declan Byrne – triple j (AUS)
“Bootleg Rascal are on a roll in 2020.”
Dave Ruby Howe – triple j Unearthed (AUS)
“A showcase of Bootleg Rascal’s versatility.”
Pilerats (AUS)
“The Bootleg Rascal boys have proven themselves to be absolute masters.”
Life Without Andy (AUS)
Added to Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ (AU/NZ), ‘Indie Arrivals’, ‘The Local List’, ‘The Office Stereo’, ‘Drive Loud!’ (JP) and ‘Indie Palace’ (JP) playlists
Added to Apple Music’s ‘New Music Mix’
After releasing a track a month from their staggered EP titled ‘Collaborations of Very Isolated Delinquents “19’, Gold Coast-based party starters Bootleg Rascal have just unveiled the capstone in final track ‘Falling Star’ featuring Saint Lane – produced by the band themselves, Ian Pritchett (Boo Seeka, Kim Churchill, Angus and Julia Stone), and Simon Dobson (Little May, STUPID BABY).
‘Falling Star’ is a slow burning slice of sophisticated hip hop that maintains an unwavering beat and groove throughout its entirety. The track features rising stars Saint Lane on the second verse with his effortlessly executed cadences, and A.GIRL on back-up vocals with her smooth and sultry brand of R&B.
“We’re stoked to finally work with some of our good friends Lane and Angel,” says frontman Carlos Lara. “’Falling Star’ is one of our favourite tracks from the record, so to have them come in and lay down their parts is really special to us. The track itself is a metaphor I coined for when you’re smitten by someone you’ve just met, but it eventually all just fizzles out. I’m a hopeless romantic, so if I meet someone I click with, I like to start exploring whether there’s a legit connection or not. Sadly, sometimes the more you get to know the person, you realise they’re not right for you. Just like a falling star, it’s beautiful and exciting, but over really quickly.” He continues.
Gold Coast-based New Zealand born rapper Saint Lane burst onto the scene in 2019, picking up praise from the likes of triple j, The Needle Drop, NME, The Guardian, GQ, Billboard and Beats 1 with Briggs. He’s also traversed the country, sharing stages with Lime Cordiale, JID and Bootleg Rascal.
Since their mid-2013 inception, Bootleg Rascal have released a slew of singles, an EP and two albums, all warmly received by critics and fans around the world, with support from the likes of NME, The Line of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, Pilerats and Wonderland Magazine. Multiple tracks have been added to Spotify and Apple Music playlists, high rotation on triple j and they’ve performed on the station’s esteemed ‘Like a Version’ segment.
The band have continually traversed the globe playing multiple sold out headline shows in France, UK, Holland, Germany, New Zealand and Australia, and performed sold out shows in the USA. They’ve also regularly appeared on major Australian festivals including Falls Festival, The Big Pineapple Festival, Lost Paradise, Hills are Alive, Festival of the Sun and Party in the Paddock.

And The Animal is Niki and Gori. Two creatures from a different dimension that create music and through their spells make a group of humans play it. They have a pet called KATA that gives them potions for inspiration. The 6 tracks on ‘Zinko’ are an eclectic journey packed with electronic, groovy and powerful beats.
“Zinko definitely presents a different color in our music, compared to what we have done in the past. Our music has always been very eclectic, as we merge different genres and use instruments that are uncommon in electronic music. Most of our past albums have always been on the darker side. This time we decided to go in a different direction and the timing to do that was just perfect. Elianne Nascimento, an amazing and very talented singer from Brazil, joined And The Animal as we were writing this album. We realized how versatile she was and how much power and soul her voice had. We had been thinking of creating something more funky and summery and she just brought the last element we needed to accomplish that.”
Zinko opens with ‘Dragonfly’, an electro-pop banger that immediately captivates the listener. The release’s tunes travel through hip hop beats, house and EDM tones, plus a very cinematic-action-like element that the band experimented with. “We added a horn section in one of our songs (Out Of My Head), which infused a very unique ‘oh wow’ element to it.” The release is meant to sync in perfectly with a summer lifestyle. Zinko is effortlessly warm and sunny electric music, slinking between the groovy sounds of ‘Persia’ to a trip to ‘Neon Skies’. It all makes you feel like a million dollars.
For the single ‘Moonlight’, which came out in the spring, And The Animal collaborated with Chicago rapper D.tha.G.. “He brought his very own west coast hip hop style that makes this song a summer must listen. This single is also included in his newly released EP. The idea behind doing this tune was that it would be a good way to transition to our new EP, Zinko, which would be different from what we have done before.”
And The Animal’s live shows are a very sensorial experience. Their dreamy and dancy tunes going along with magical visuals flooding the stage, make it a must see show.
“Wonderful songwriting that is both aggressive and tender.” – Tone Deaf
“They’ve transformed and blossomed into something remarkably special.” – Pilerats
“Taking the high bar the Perth four-piece set for themselves in 2019 and shattering it with an
emotional blast.” – Scenezine
Indie rock outfit Sly Withers might still be Australia’s best kept secret, but the word looks set to explode on the Perth four-piece with the release of their brand-new single and video today – ‘Cracks.’
Arriving as the first single from their forthcoming new album, ‘Cracks’ showcases the sonic and songwriting dynamics ofa band really stepping into their own, as co-frontmen Sam Blitvich and Jono Mata trade lead vocals through a song that’s bursting with the energy and emotion that has become their trademark. ‘Cracks’ premiered this week on triple j’s Good Nights program, continuing the outstanding support the band has had from the national youth broadcaster.
“I think the understanding between the two of us is ever-growing,” says Blitvich of his relationship writing and singing alongside Mata. “I really like the way we’re sharing songs – both doing lead vocals in certain sections. And for ‘Cracks’ Jono wrote a bridge for it off a little melodic idea I had and then on a plane ride back from over east one time I wrote a bridge for it without knowing he’d already written one. That’s how ‘Cracks’ kind of came together. Those kind of things have been really cool to get more in sync with each other in a way that we’ve always strived to do.”
Produced by Matt Templeman (Make Them Suffer – Worlds Apart) ‘Cracks’ highlights the massive step up in production the band has made since the recording of their breakout EP, 2019’s Gravis, with Blitvich explaining they have a much greater sense of who they are in the studio thanks to, “Temp’s help.”
“I feel like we’ve really fine tuned into exactly what the best possible process is for us. We’ve refined how our studio process works between Jono and I, and between us and Temp.”
The single’s release also comes with a brand-new video that was premiered by the excellent taste purveyors at Pilerats. Made during the COVID restrictions, the socially-distanced clip is undeniably clever in its use of scenery, space and scene edits, bringing an impression of what one of the band member’s dads described as like being a physical representation of a Zoom meeting.
“We had no background idea to the video other than like, ‘Let’s have some backgrounds and move them around’,” says Mata. “But the first time Joel [Neubecker, SW drummer] showed his dad, he was like “Oh it’s like a Zoom call, isn’t it?!”

Today, Soothsayer is thrilled to release ‘Aphrodite Dub’ back-to-back with new track ‘Ghost Town Riddim’, the smooth dubstep offering that completes the double A-side package. Riding at 140 BPM, ‘Ghost Town Riddim’ is a moody track that heightens the senses. Reminiscent of original Dubstep pioneers ala self-titled era Skream, Benga and Kode9 – it’s heady, rich and immersive all the while being a sound all of his own.
“‘Ghost Town Riddim’ is a straight up dubstep track, inspired by the mood of The Specials ‘Ghost Town’. I couldn’t help myself but add some classic breaks 2 into the mix. These tracks are my first time experimenting with sending digital sounds through analogue equipment. Kinda wild to think that my sound has gone from house 2 garage 2 dubstep just like the original UK scenes progressed in the 90s into the 2000s.” – Jonny Reebok

Toronto based DJ and producer Velvet Code launched his very own label SO FIERCE MUSIC, taking a stand for equality, diversity, and creativity. The imprint wants to give artists a voice and platform, no matter their age, race, gender, or sexual identity.
Velvet Code has been active in the music industry for over 20 years and experienced how difficult it can be for LGBTQ+ artists to be seen and heard. “Music executives, former managers, and agents tried to muzzle or tried to force me to play “straight”. I was convinced for years that I had to if I wanted any chance the mainstream music industry was going to pay attention. Well, I refuse to live a lie or change who I am just to please anyone. I was born this way, baby! My hope is that SO FIERCE MUSIC will give people a platform and safe space where an LGBTQ2+ artist or ally can express themselves while gaining an opportunity to make a living from a music career.”
The first release on the label is set for September 25th with the supreme Sofonda Cox. The immensely talented drag queen worked together with Velvet Code on her brand-new track ‘Thrive’. Sofonda has been chosen as TD Bank’s pride ambassador for many years in a row, performs annually at the Toronto Pride PRISM festival, and at clubs across the US, Brazil, Malaysia, and Mexico. A true inspiration and the perfect artist to kick off the musical vision of the label.
For each release, SO FIERCE MUSIC will unleash a special merch line. Designed by Velvet Code and his team, the assets will consist of clack fans, shirts, tops, and hoodies.
