We caught up with Endless Boogie just months before they hit the shores of Australia to play Golden Plains Sixx festival to talk about the tour, new material and much more.

What better way to listen to Triple J's Hottest 100 than with a drink at the beach. That's exactly what some did at Sand City in the heart of Adelaide. A beach volleyball court decked out with inflatable lounge chairs and wading pools. At the end of the countdown, Owl Eyes and Illy, both with hot 100 hits, performed to the sun-kissed crowd.

Ahead of their tour here as part of the Soundwave Festival, I had a chat to Strung Out drummer Jordan Burns about the new year, Soundwave, Top Contenders and everything in between.

If it wasn't for the surprising amount of attention Big Day Out has received for not selling out as in previous years, you wouldn't have known that the Sydney Big Day Out wasn't a sell out. Lines were still long (but reasonable), stages were still packed, more people arrived before noon than we had seen in the past and the enthusiasm as high as ever. And by the time tens of thousands of people were chanting along to Kanye West, as he was suspended above the crowd, following Soundgarden bringing everyone to their feet for "Blackhole Sun", you realised there was very little different about this Big Day Out than in previous years.

Here we go again! Another week of new and exciting releases for you. Off we go...

360 has reached stellar success over the last year. From his eagerly hyped rap battles to his gold album, Falling and Flying - we talk about it all.

Sydney local Oliver Tank has quietly gone about making a name for himself over the last year or so; not just here but across the globe. At only 22 that’s quite impressive. National Public Radio in the US recently chose Tank as one of the top 5 BandCamp albums of 2011. Listening to his first EP Dreams, it’s pretty clear why they did.

We caught up with Caitlin Park to discuss her latest album Milk Annual, talk about some new material, playing Laneway and much more.

We sit down with Mexican guitar maestro Rodrigo Sanchez, one half of the acclaimed duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela to discuss the story behind their latest record Area 52, a potential Australian tour and what it's like working with acclaimed soundtrack composers.
