Owl Eyes’s debut record Nightswim has a very laid-back atmosphere, so I was under the impression that her live show would be just as smooth.

That devilishly handsome lad that is Matt Corby has released a new single this morning in "Resolution". It's a promising taste of what audiences can be expecting from his forthcoming record and if you've yet to see the man himself perform on his current national tour, we'd recommend listening to this track to prepare yourself for the inevitable swoons.

This year's Come Together festival is set to bring some of Australia's best hip-hop artists, together as the Big Top at Sydney's Luna Park prepares to have a new one ripped. Featuring on this year's line up is Melbourne's own, Illy. The incredibly popular performer has dominated the scene nationally over the past few years and has one of the strongest and most loyal fan bases I've ever seen. It's been a while since we caught up, so I figured it was high time I flicked him some questions to see how studio life was treating him.
