Melbourne's William Kiss, Luke Alessiand Jordan Brando come together as not without friends, with their first EP outing as a trio landing on RÜFÜS DU SOL's Rose Avenue imprint.

Longtime mates and making waves in their own lanes in the last few years, in William's words: "The energy always bounces around the room between us. We're not interested in trends, gimmicks or limitations. not without friends is the truest form of our combined creativity and us being ourselves. Expect surprises."

That energy that William speaks of has been experienced and revelled in by fans who were lucky to be around for their three Barn Raves. Taking clubbers out to Melbourne's suburbs, the last instalment was a five-hour session back in March. This release comes good on the atmosphere they push through over the course of a few heady hours.

The idea for not without friends initially came while the three of them were on Thailand's Phi Phi island. Chat soon turned to action, and by the end of the initial conversation by the pool, they were writing on a laptop and a UE Megaboom, all squeezed onto a double bed for hours. The project would be further developed with a stint in Barcelona last summer taking in the culture.

"A lot of our trips abroad together have definitely come through in the music," Jordan Brando enthuses. "Upbeat, happy and not too serious, which for us is exactly what NWF is about. Whether it’s the sound of a crowded street in Barcelona, the calm wind in Thailand, or a washing machine in Ibiza (yep), we’ve tried to sample and incorporate pieces of our travels into all our records."

William Kiss has had a stellar 2024, with EPs dropping through Rekids Special Projects and Peggy Gou's Gudu Records. Luke Alessi's reputation is built on a slew of cuts on prominent labels and this year there’s been a return to Life and Death and a collaboration with Chloé Caillet. Jordan Brando’s grabbed slots on Bristol outpost Shall Not Fade and its sister label Killer Cuts, as well as appearing on Life and Death in a collaboration with Alessi.

As Luke Alessi states: "What you hear now isn’t necessarily what you are going to hear there after. The project is free, unrestricted & ever evolving. Keep an open mind when listening."

PREMIERE : Not Without Friends - Other Halves

ffm.to/hwm-remix

Wellington-based producer Zuke returns with a new rework from his acclaimed debut album Come Closer (Dec 2024), a fresh take on the album’s downtempo gem ‘How We Met’, remixed alongside long-time collaborator Dylan C.

Where the original drifted with haunting Rhodes chords and a deep, meditative atmosphere, the Dylan C & Zuke Remix drives the track towards the dancefloor. Lifting the tempo, the duo reshape it into a hypnotic organic house groover, with inspired elements of acid house & dub echoes.

This marks the first official release for Dylan C & Zuke , a pairing well-known for their hybrid live/DJ performances across New Zealand festivals and club shows over the past six years. The remix captures the essence of those sets: deep, melodic, and immersive, yet always underpinned by energy and movement.

Like a memory you can’t remember having, surely lost to the past but resurfacing at the hit of the first steady note. So sudden and unexpected it curiously scratches the shell of your inner self. As he himself states: Kerala Dust makes music for a desert he’s never been to.

Once again, we have a new addition to the family, once again, like finding the piece of a puzzle you didn’t know was missing - three pieces to be more precise. Carefully crafted music from the head and hands of this one plus two project, completed by a mesmerizing remix from the walking understatement DWIG.

Welcome home, Kerala Dust.
