Much loved underground community organisation Parry Talks has announced the release of their sophomore, record label, charity compilation, Parry Talks Alumni Volume II. The 4 track compilation comes off the back of an extremely successful debut release which raised $1500 for NSW Aboriginal Legal Service. Now the tracklist has opened up to Sydney/Eora’s noisy neighbours in Melbourne/Naarm for a charity release with 100% of the revenue being dedicated to Smugglers of Light. This digital only, bandcamp exclusive release features a who's who of the incredible underground scenes, featuring Purient, DAWS, Posture and Glen S.

The charity which every cent of the compilation will contribute funds to is Smugglers of Light.
The Foundation was created to provide assistance to young indigenous musicians and youth at risk through programs of taking film-makers and musicians to their communities. The charity introduces songwriting and musicianship and performance skills for First Nations communities, assists n the provision of musical education and training to persons in the area of youth and indigenous music, in order to improve the outreach of musical education and storytelling in Australia, to facilitate musical development and innovation in Australian indigenous communities; and to encourage the performance of contemporary community music.

20 Years Of Phonica

PREMIERE: Paramida - E-Talking - Read My Lips [ Phonica Records ]

The night was young but already the music was loud as they drove further and further away from the city and into the countryside. Soon it would be dark and they’d begin the hunt. It was the same skit every weekend, the same places and faces looking for fun on the outskirts of town.

This old car had miles under its belt, it had been to fields and warehouses all over the South coast in the search of dancing and delight.

It was the hunter itself, powered only by the mischief of its passengers.

Retromigration channels elements of House, Trance and beyond on a fast and furious new EP for Handy Records. However, beneath the pace sits a deep rooted groove which can be hard to place without careful consideration and handling. This is a producer in top form.

Heavy House Society drops a high end collaboration between two heavyweights, Sidney Charles and Archie Hamilton for a standout two-tracker. On the Reset EP, they both deliver a pair of refined, groove-driven cuts that showcase the depth of their shared house and minimal house sensibilities.

'Reset' is built on a tight, swinging groove that fuses chunky basslines with crisp, shuffling percussion. Subtle chord stabs and atmospheric flourishes, inject depth and tension, while the stripped framework leaves space for momentum to build. Slick and modern, it's a hypnotic rollercoaster crafted with underground dancefloors in mind.

On the flip, 'The Future Is Now' keeps things locked to the floor with a punchy low-end foundation and rolling percussion. Carefully sculpted hi-hats and subtle vocal chops add texture, while atmospheric layers push it toward a futuristic edge. Both functional and elegant, it's the kind of tool that can elevate a set whether in the warm-up hours or peak-time pressure.

Heavy House Society's label curator Sidney Charles has long stamped his authority on house music with releases on Truesoul, Hot Creations, and Saved, shaping what fans know as The Sidney Sound. His upfront, groove-led productions such as House Lessons and Warehouse Romance underline his reputation for rough, dirty sounds that defined the old school pioneers, but all with a modern, full and punchy approach, as Sidney favours.

Joining him, Archie Hamilton brings his signature minimal-tinged sound that has graced stages from Circoloco, Music On, Solid Grooves, and Paradise in Ibiza, to festivals including Sunwaves, Caprices, Kappa Futur, Creamfields, and Awakenings. Archie's productions are as diverse as they are consistent, from his trademark stripped-back dance-floor-focused workouts on his very own MicroHertz, a label that has quickly established itself as a hub for cutting-edge underground music, to prestigious labels such as Life & Death to Three Six Zero Recordings.

Together on Heavy House Society, Sidney Charles and Archie Hamilton's Reset EP embodies the underground at its most direct; groove, energy, and precision, designed to keep the floor locked.
