Gab Ferreira

Sam Ford — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 21:05:10 +0000

At 26 years old, Gab Ferreira has already played Lollapalooza Brasil, has been modeling since she was 17, and is set to play Balaclava Fest with Stereolab, FCUKERS, and Yo La Tengo this fall. Releasing her first record, Lemon Squeeze, at only 19 years old. The entirely self-written, English-language project introduced viral singles “Alone With Everybody” and “Not Yours.” That same year, Gab also collaborated with singer YMA on their hit “Summer Lover.” In recent years, she expanded her sound into the world of electronic music, collaborating with American DJs Baltra and Planet Express on a remix of “Karma” — the first single from her second album, Visions — and the drum and bass track “Here.” These partnerships helped Gab gain a global presence, attracting international listeners and placing her on Spotify charts in countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States.

She’s the very definition of living fearlessly and in the moment — carving a path for herself as a female producer, performer, and songwriter (in multiple languages), all the while uncovering gems in the depths of caverns others may not have been so curious, playful, or unafraid to find.

Her debut full length album Carrossel is out October 10 via DVLPMNT / Balaclava Records.

Crusaders of the underground, GAUCI have stepped into the spotlight. The creative partnership of acclaimed mix engineer Antonia Gauci (Troye Sivan, 700 Feel, daine, GRAMMY nominated for Kesha) and multi-hyphenate mastermind Felix Lush (Brooke Candy), has transformed with their esteemed debut mixtape Growing Pains. As GAUCI they boast a diverse sonic palette, reflective of their wide pool of influences and backed by a wealth of performance and production expertise, delivering polish with grit in their music. With creative direction firmly by their own hands and the freedom to authentically express their range, the result is a rich, dynamic display of their artistic vision, abundant with aplomb.

From buzz inducing showcases at BIGSOUND to later turning crowds away from the overcapacity Phoenix Central Park for SXSW Sydney; national triple j playlisting for ‘Irritating’; recurrent placement as the most playlisted independent act across DSPs on release and Top 10 AMRAP Charting placement; co-signs from the Guardian praising their balance of “the twinned forces of love and loathing” and “the turn-of-the-millennium romcom” to remixes for dust, Vallis Alps and DZ Deathrays; alongside continued tastemaker support locally and abroad from FBi Radio, Bandcamp, PAPER, Atwood Magazine, Frankie, through to performances at Yours & Owls, Dark Mofo, supporting 1300, Hatchie, G Flip, Parcels, Vallis Alps, Beach Fossils, Automatic and more – GAUCI consistently win fans over.

Gena Stone

Maia Bilyk — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 02:44:03 +0000

For Gena Stone, songwriting is an act of discovery – lyrics born from scribbled fragments that reveal their true meaning over time. Dancing between dream-pop and indie-rock influences, Stone crafts a sound of layered guitars, smooth vocals, and shimmering synths. Her debut single, ‘Pistachio’, introduced her to the Sydney music scene, earning rotation on fbi.Radio and 2SER 107.3, and receiving praise on triple j Unearthed. Since then, Stone has been refining her sound, gearing up for a year of new music in 2025.

Geography

Maia Bilyk — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 01:02:10 +0000

The musical project of Georgia Smith, Geography’s art manifests as a thread between two disparate worlds – an affectionate, rural upbringing in regional NSW’s Guyra and the landscapes that guide her, against the community and self-discovery Melbourne’s urban scene provides outsiders. First finding her feet under the presence of lockdowns, music came to conjure hope for Smith, striving to maintain equilibrium between her deep connection to place, and the catharsis of escapism.

Georgia Maq

twntythree — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 04:12:46 +0000

As the leader of Naarm / Melbourne’s DIY punk trio Camp Cope, singer and guitarist Georgia Maq became something of a local hero, calling out music industry sexism over fearsome indie rock salvos while garnering widespread international acclaim. The band’s second album, How to Socialise and Make Friends (2018), was described by Pitchfork as “a mix of folk-rock intimacy, punk incision, and loud emo catharsis,” and featured heavily on year-end best-of lists around the world. In late 2019, Maq surprised everyone by releasing her solo debut, Pleaser, a refreshingly bright and catchy missive of electro-pop tunes about heartbreak and love. Describing the album as “Paul Westerberg meets Robyn”, Maq drew on her punk energy and love of pop artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Lorde, and Cardi B to craft an immaculate collection of synth-pop bangers.

Getdown Services

Sam Ford — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 16:37:05 +0000

Getdown Services, aka Josh Law and Ben Sadler, posses a seemingly endless ability to write, perform, and produce songs that capture modern life with a uniquely acerbic wit and playfulness. Their wiles have been clear ever since one of their first shows outside of the UK at La Zad in France, where they were still able to have a great time playing the whole set to a dog and man smoking a bong facing the wrong way around. There’s an uninhibited shamelessness to their performance that allows their audience, whoever it is, to enjoy as freely as they do.

They’ve come a long way since that gig: Walton Goggins, Troye Sivan, and BBC Radio all love them, to name a few diehard fans. They have brought their “high-octane, low-culture genius” (The Guardian) to the likes of Glastonbury, their hometown/Bristol’s Beacon theater, and packed rooms around the globe; they’re set to play with CMAT at LIDO Festival in London this summer in addition to US/UK/EU touring.

With momentum building at a staggering pace, and their live shows already the stuff of legend. Their stance on modern British life sits somewhere between rave, satire, and social commentary –– and it is winning them legions of fans all over the world.

Good Morning

twntythree — Wed, 14 Apr 2021 04:13:00 +0000

Over the past decade, Good Morning have carved out a peculiar, hard-to-define indie career for themselves, amassing a global cult fanbase and hundreds of millions of streams despite (or perhaps because of) their defiantly DIY approach. The band/duo/recording-thing from Naarm / Melbourne, Australia come together as Stefan Blair (29, brown hair, 6 foot something) plays most of the instruments and sings half the songs. Liam Parsons (30, brown hair, 6 foot on the dot) plays the rest of the instruments and sings the other half of the songs. The band name is intentionally impossible to Google but hasn’t gotten in the way of them getting shouted out by Tyler, The Creator, sampled by A$AP Rocky, going viral on TikTok (for their 2015 track ‘Warned You‘), or touring the globe (including the US, Mexico, China, Japan, Thailand, and beyond). Their 2021 album Barnyard, both thoughtful and catchy, released internationally via Polyvinyl was met with widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, NME, Stereogum, The Line Of Best Fit, Consequence, Alt Press, Paste, DIY Magazine, Northern Transmissions, KCRW, 6Music and more – setting the scene for their seventh record Good Morning Seven. The double album filled with strings, synths, samples and singing marks their 10th year anniversary of being a band. It’s all down hill from here.

Created by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett, Gorillaz is singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, drummer Russel Hobbs and Japanese guitar prodigy Noodle. The BRIT and Grammy-winning virtual band formed following a collision of mishaps, meetings and pure luck to blow up a pre-digital world with their colourful backstory and ground-breaking virtual ways. Based at Kong Studios, Gorillaz settled into a life of musical innovation with an eye-wateringly exciting roster of collaborators, a list that includes musical legends, geniuses and future stars from Elton John to Little Simz, MF Doom to Jean-Michel Jarre, Grace Jones to slowthai, Kali Uchis to Sidiki Diabaté, plus so many more. With eight albums to their name, Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018), Song Machine: Season One – Strange Timez (2020) and Cracker Island (2023), Gorillaz is a truly global phenomenon, achieving success in entirely new and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester and winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor.
