Retiree and Plastic World have something to cool you down during this bloody hot week in the land down under.

Client Liaison probably channel more 80s Australia than John Farnham and Icehouse combined, and when they tuck into Retiree's tropical flavoured Rain - some pretty magic stuff happens.

Cassius Select - Bruv

Release date 19 May.

Circling Sydney as the most prodigious producers in their adopted home, Tuff Sherm (Perth-born Eugene Hector / Dro Carey) and Cassius Select (Canada's Lavurn Lee / Guerre) guise-up for a split 12 that follows Dro's seven-date debut European tour, and Cassius' breakout ONE EP on Gardland's Hunter Gatherer imprint.

'Tuff Motherfucken Sherm'
FACT on Tuff Sherm

Returning home after a string of releases via Merok, RAMP, Opal Tapes and The Trilogy Tapes, Tuff Sherm shifts the counter-balanced brilliance of Dro Carey with 'Beast Numeral' – a six-minute succession of classic house jaunts. Revealing a more positively playful side on 'Topaz Looper', Sherm continues to surprise in the footsteps of fans such as Ben UFO, Mark Pritchard and L.I.E.S founder Ron Morelli.   

'Percussive techno is employed in full force here'
XLR8R on Cassius Select

'Utterly outré techno'
MESS + NOISE on Cassius Select

Clocking stages with Australian heavyweights Jagwar Ma and HTRK whilst stringing supports for Four Tet and Jamie xx alike, Cassius Select finally goes to print with two cold-cut workouts flipped on an affinity for city-side recesses. Proving Australia's most unkempt secret since his early days under the bedroom R 'n' B alias Guerre, 'Bruv' now sees Lee splice and scrape classic taunts into a knockabout elegy to the UK's MC heyday. Skittered up until the blown kick and bass serve of 'Rete Avec Ou', Cassius locks out on a pummelling ode to distance and disconnection, ringing in the end for a true-to-form take on mother-country confusion with enthralling results.

Signed on first listen by newly-minted Sydney label Plastic World (home to releases from Retiree, Alba, Tuff Sherm and Cassius Select), the duo’s debut EP Love Hexagon will introduce their pulsating sound with lead singles Won’t You See AND What Happened to Us plus remix treatment from Detroit’s house don Terrence Parker, Running Back head-honcho Gerd Janson and Sydney 3-piece Black Vanilla. It’s a salacious introduction to GL’s romantic hedonism, and just a taste of what’s expected in the future.

Experience the sound of cruise control, dive bars, strobe lights and tape decks with GL; the debut release out soon on Plastic World.

GL - Won't You See

"Retiree are a modern band for a modern age. Excellent music, and excellent values. 

Last year the four piece band released their debut EP on Sydney’s Plastic World, a perfectly measured mix of summery synth pop and tropical disco. It was called "Together", and it brought unity and feelings of shared happiness to nightclubs and pool parties everywhere.

"Altruisme" is their latest single, and another sure sign that Retiree are only looking out for us. The track combines vintage machine drum rhythms, new wave guitar licks, the sounds of the sea, and some haunting French vocals to create a slow funk jam. If "Together" was the sound of last Summer, "Altruisme" brings us Spring. If things couldn't get better, it's also a free download via the band's Facebook page. We're pleased to bring you the intriguing new video, and a chat with Retiree ahead of an upcoming tour." - @THUMP

Melbourne purveyors of synth-funk, GL are back with all-new single ‘Number One’. 

The track release follows GL's stand-out performance at Splendour In The Grass in July, where Thompson also joined Mark Ronson onstage as part of his live supergroup. The pair emerged as a highlight of Sydney's OutsideIn Festival earlier this month, and promise to do the same again when they take to the stage at Meredith Music Festival this December.

An infectious treat of glowing synths, stratospheric vocals and luxurious neon-lit pop, "Number One" will enchant first time listeners as well as satiate fans of their debut EP ‘Love Hexagon’ in need of a GL fix.

The Possé - MS-DOS

GL's latest single 'Hallucinate' from their forthcoming debut album 'Touch' via Plastic World & Midnight Feature, July 15th.

Infectiously energetic, yet vibrating with honesty, the album is a mature take on electronic Funk and Soul, honouring the originators of the sound. ‘Touch’ is about body contact, sweating silhouettes and music that gives you a physical reaction. As Ella says “it is very much dance music but also about physical love.”

GL - Hallucinate

From pop tracks to funk soul to ambient house, the compilation features another 12 unreleased tracks including songs from Sampa The Great, Mondo Freaks and Tim Shiel that represent every corner of the burgeoning underground electronic music scene of Australia.

@sampa-tembo on Wonderland: "It is about the journey and realisation of a dream turned reality. The dream being wonderland and I as Alice. Sometimes when your dreams are all of a sudden reality! You sort of feel like you are momentarily in Wonderland."

'Love Rain Down', the debut track by Melbourne's Mondo Freaks, is a retro-futurist duet exploring the love between a woman and her computer.  Featuring the electric bass wizardry of Luke Hodgson, Dave Evans' spacey synthesizations and the incomparable Talk-Box skills of Danny Dharumasena, Mondo Freaks travel to the future - '84 style.

Donny Benét. You know the name by now.

Man of the people. Wielder of synths. Virtuosic in style, both aural and visual. Sydney’s undisputed master of conduction through seduction. The man has an almost otherworldly control over his music and his crowd. One slap of the bass and the world melts at his feet. One outrageous synth solo after the other and thecompetition falls around him. Donny Benét makes you sweat. Donny Benét brings the heat.

Sydney's Retiree have returned with a second offering, 'Jan', out now on Plastic World. Following on from their first single 'Continental' released late last year, 'Jan' features the band's signature dreamy vocals and 80's like drum beats. Whilst maintaining an air of tropical warmth, the song's vocals, depict a story of loss. Contrasting the immersive, upbeat melody against the hidden emotional meaning see's Retiree delve further into a sonic exploration of electronic-pop music.

"Jan is a melancholy song in disguise. I started writing it on a train from Germany to Amsterdam on my way to my uncles funeral. The whole song is sort of equal parts reflective, sad and celebratory" – Retiree
