Six years in the making, FALL FROM THE LIGHT, the highly anticipated album from hip hop icons HILLTOP HOODS, has arrived.

Featuring singles ‘The Gift ft. Marlon’, ‘Don’t Happy, Be Worry’, ‘Laced Up’ and ‘Never Coming Home ft. SIX60’, the 12-track offering takes listeners on a journey that feels as ambitious and triumphant for the fans, as it has been for Suffa, Pressure and Debris themselves.

Blending fun, vulnerability and vignettes that highlight their masterful cadence and technical flow, the ninth record from Hilltop Hoods wastes no time in getting to work upon arrival. Produced by One Above with additional production by Sesta and Suffa, Fall From The Light was recorded in Adelaide, Darwin, Melbourne, and New Zealand and features a range of special guests.

Hilltop Hoods will return to arenas across Australia on their Never Coming Home Tour in Feb/Mar 2026 along with dates in the UK & Europe for Aug/Sep 2025.

Their unparalleled career speaks for itself - over 89 Platinum accreditations, 1.1 million album sales and over 1.8 billion global streams, six #1 albums, the most entries into triple j’s Hottest 100 for an Australian Artist, ten ARIA award wins, and multiple sold-out Arena tours solidifying Hilltop Hoods as one of the Australia’s most successful names in music, period. The music they make is done with the intent to connect and last with fans, regardless of age, background, or creed; time and time again, their formula pays dividends and then some.

My passion for electronic music came at a young age, and although that style of music was very different to what I play now, I feel this has helped me shape my current style. Which, is very deep, melodic, dark and percussive.

Press Play Record

“Director of good times, infectious dance grooves and a feel-good atmosphere.”

That’s how Will from Press Play Record describes himself as a DJ,  Press Play Record just want's you to have a great time. Be it with one of his smooth deep house sets that can be heard at his own bar 'Shot on Military' in Cremorne to his high energy electro set's carefully crafted to maximise the uplifting vibe.

Having grown up on his father’s eclectic combination of classical music (Mozart, Bach) and Rock (Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles), combined with his own passion for electronic music and good times, Press Play Record ended up with quite a mixed spectrum of musical influence.  Today, this translates into sets where he picks apart and infuses together all the pieces of this music that he loves best: beautiful synth work, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, and occasional vocal hooks… all on top of a pronounced foot-shuffling house beat.

“For me, it’s all about mood; playing tracks that get you tapping your feet and nodding your head without you realizing it, putting a smile on your face, regardless of genre, tempo, style, or release date. “

Leaning into the unknown and embracing new sonic inspirations has long been a source of fuel for multi-Platinum selling artist, ILLY. 
His versatility as a songwriter and performer has seen the artist grow from Australian hip hop champion, through to one of the country’s most in-demand and dynamic pop artists today. That crossover success established ILLY as one of Australian hip hop’s integral triumphs; along with the Hilltop Hoods, bringing the genre to widespread – and maintained – mainstream success. 
The music ILLY creates today is done so with reinvigorated confidence for the craft. Recent writing sessions with DMA’S songwriter Johnny Took and Peking Duk’s Reuben Styles have birthed ‘Like You’ – the first new piece of music from ILLY to break open his forthcoming seventh studio album. The single, buoyed by vocal harmonies layered over a slick pairing of EDM and a driving acoustic guitar, never loses its sense of self-awareness or fun.
With a new ILLY record on the horizon, this story continues; driven by new inspirations and that pure instinct that has only seen him go from strength to strength, time will tell just how far this next era will take him.
