Melbourne’s DJ Be Kind to Other People has built a reputation through kaleidoscopic sets that are joy-positive. Equally at home alongside Australian crossover acts like Sneaky Sound System and Flight Facilities or deep in the sweat-soaked confines of the city's infamous Revolver Upstairs club, he thrives on a versatility which bridges scenes without ever compromising his identity.

His unique journey has already taken him to Burning Man (USA) and Devconnect (Turkey), with his next international appearance set for our inaugural Balance Croatia. Beyond the booth, he hosts Coburg Up Late, a talk show filmed in his garage featuring global and local dance music names.

On this Balance Selections mix, DJ Be Kind to Other People lets his personality shine across two hours of lush house and progressive. Featuring tracks from Gai Barone, Monkey Safari, Hannes Bieger, and more, it’s a vibrant journey into the mind of a truly idiosyncratic selector.

Balance Selections 331: DJ Be Kind To Other People

TRACKLIST & INTERVIEW

Naarm/Melbourne based artist, producer and Gamilaroi man The Terrifying Lows - AKA Tyler Millott – is proud to announce the release of his new single ‘Love is a Weapon’. A powerful, emotionally charged track that speaks to the realities of psychological abuse in relationships. Written from the perspective of a gaslighting partner, this latest offering explores themes of manipulation and control through its venomous lyrics and striking instrumentation.

“...there’s no question, my love is a weapon and I’m out for blood...”

Produced, performed and recorded by Millott himself at his home studio in Melbourne, ‘Love is a Weapon’ is a testament to his dedication to creating a unique sound with a DIY ethos that, in this instance, blends elements of alternative rock with 90s electronica. Grinding bass and a dynamic vocal performance by Millott sit atop a hypnotic drum loop and evoke nostalgic elements of seminal acts from the golden age of alternative music such as UNKLE, The Stone Roses, and Sneaker Pimps whilst maintaining the distinctive, melancholic sound of The Terrifying Lows.
Mixed by long time collaborator Alex Markwell (Delta Riggs) and mastered by Joe Carra (Crystal Mastering).

The single follows hot on the heels of previous releases such as ‘Blackout’, the energetic first single from upcoming LP ‘Into the Dark Divide’, which debuted following a radio interview on Triple J’s Indigenous segment Blakout, and The Terrifying Lows’ debut self-titled LP which helped Millott achieve a top 40 placement in the prestigious Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition, as well as a place in Mushroom’s inaugural First Nations Pathways Program, and a string of support slots for Australian music greats such as Dan Sultan, Richard Clapton, Hayley Mary (Jezabels) and Cam Muncey (Jet).

With more new music releases planned for 2023, 'Love is a Weapon' provides fans with yet another glimpse into what we can expect from The Terrifying Lows over coming months.
