With the release of his debut album Cryptocacy and working alongside the likes of Skrillex & Crystal Castles, 2012 was indeed the year of Huoratron. For the first time in just over 2 years, the Finnish electro extraordinaire has returned to our shores, kicking off the New Year with three exclusive shows in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne. Larry Heath caught up with the man himself to talk about his live production, getting shitfaced, playing Coachella last this year and a casual 42 minute song.

Coachella has continued its run of staggering festival announcements with the reveal of artists set to perform at the April festival in 2013. Blur, The Stone Roses, Phoenix and The Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline Coachella, with the rest of the line up featuring some of the best in music.

Whether you were at the festival itself, or you were glued to your computer screen, this past weekend was all about the first weekend of Coachella, which featured one amazing performance after another, for three jam-packed days. Gotye held the flag up high for Australia (though pulled the live stream last minute), and impressed, but what else impressed us? Here's a look back at our top SIX Coachella moments for 2012:

"Holy shit" seems to be among the most commonly used words on the internet this morning with the announcement of the Coachella 2012 lineup.

While I was unable to attend Coachella this year (a fact which continues to pain me), I was thankfully able to pretend I was there by moshing by myself, in the privacy of my bedroom, while watching the festival streamed on YouTube. Oh, the internets - you are so majestic!

When we chatted back in August you guys had just got back from Splendour and you were doing your sideshows at Oxford Art Factory and all that and now here we are 8 months later and quite a lot has happened.

Yeah, it’s been a bit weird, but good.

It's that time of year again... Golden Voice have announced their epic 3 day lineup for the iconic Coachella music festival in Indio, California. A few familiar Australian names help make up the pack: Empire of the Sun, Tame Impala, Cut Copy, The Presets and Gypsy and the Cat will all be making appearances at the festival.
