Donna Summer - I Feel Love [Extended] (1977)

The first single from Crocodiles’ forthcoming album Boys offers a gaze into the salsa-punk existence the band lived while recording in Mexico City. It is the sound of helado and cervezas; bottles smashing against heads in Cuauhtémoc bat-caves.  Charles Rowell’s psychedelic guitar swirl starts “Crybaby Demon,” immediately followed by an infectiously repetitive bass line and Latin trashcan percussion. Brandon Welchez’s sneering vocal floats above, telling the tale of a fallen angel, head still in the clouds, abusive and abused.  The flip side is a joyously noisy retelling of Hot Chocolate’s 1975 disco classic “U Sexy Thing” and adds to their ever growing collection of oddball influences.

“The completely insane genre blending is all Koi Child. Nice work, gang”
– BBC Radio
 
“Sick flow and dirty production that sounds like nobody else in the biz right now”
– Stacy Gougoulis, triple j
 
“Neck-snapping linguistic battles untangled at every opportunity by the experimental jazz jam contingent. It's a merging that recalls the freedom of The Roots 'Illadelph Halflife' era soul/rap”
– Rolling Stone

By now, the breezy port of Fremantle, WA has a reputation for birthing some of the worlds’ best alternative music. Enter Koi Child, the combined forces of local hip-hop party starters Childs Play, nu-jazz quartet Kashikoi, the brains behind the smooth as silk debut single Slow One & the riotous new offering Black Panda, both of which produced by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala). 

Since the single dropped in April, Black Panda has been played on BBC Radio 6, triple j, double j, and community radio across Australia, on top of a massive show at the Groove In The Moo Festival.
 
“It started with me beat boxing that fat bass line, Tom heard it and within seconds had the synth replicating the sound I was making. A few days later the band was on a break and Tom busted out that same bass line. Before we knew it the whole band had walked back in to join the jam, I busted some spare rhymes I had and we all lost our shit at the obesity of the track we’d made. What started as a piss take jam, turned out to be a fricken monster!” - Koi Child vocalist Shannon Patterson on Black Panda’s creation.
 
The 7 piece have already had a seriously busy first year of formation, supporting Tame Impala at Rottnest Island for Koi Child’s second gig, where The Music says they "managed to get a completely sedated crowd on their feet and grooving" and "genuinely felt like a band who'd been kicking around for years”.
 
As comfortable on stage with NY rap punks Ratking, as they would be with modern soul stars like D'Angelo, combine that with the magic aural touch of Kevin Parker, and you've got something worth paying attention too.
 
Koi Child are one of the most promising up-and-coming collectives in Australian music!

Wire’s new mini-album, Nocturnal Koreans, is striking in its diversity, the band fluently negotiating an expansive stylistic range, from immensely catchy pop to ambient introspection and beyond. Chronicling a sleepless night that Wire spent in a seedy Boston-area hotel on their 2013 US tour, the title track is the kind of charging, urgent tune that’s always been vocalist-songwriter Colin Newman’s forte. The lyrics, by bassist Graham Lewis, make this one of guitarist Matthew Simms’s favourites on the record, largely because of the associated memories: “It’s a great snapshot of touring America and when I hear or play that song, it reminds me of the many weird and wonderful times, places and people that cross your path.”

Nocturnal Koreans

Bloodhounds On My Trail have been at the forefront of a simmering shoe gaze scene that has re-emerged in Melbourne and Australia over the past few years and are pleased to announce the release of the single ‘Over The Wall’ following up on their 2015 debut EP “Escape II”. 

Their understanding and appreciation for the forefathers of shoegaze has resulted in a solid following from those who tend to bliss out to densely-drenched and atmospheric guitar tones. With comparisons to The Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai and Velvet Underground, Bloodhounds love to play loud enough to make your face tingle. 
 
Bloodhounds On My Trail’s original EP, ‘Escape’, was re-released via Raphalite Records (UK) and Moon Sounds (US) in late 2015 and since then the four-piece have received a string of praise from world-wide media.

Bloody Knives - The Descent

Since their formation in London in 1976, the members of Wire have maintained and advanced a musical project which treats the creative potential of a rock band as a fluid, amorphous medium. As removed from self-conscious intellectualism as they are from the inherent conservatism of much rock music, Wire employ their unique, endlessly restless and risk-taking creativity to question every aspect of songwriting, recording and performance. They delight and disturb in equal measure, troubleshooting the circuitry of perfect pop, or patrolling the limits of focused experimentalism. In terms of working together as Wire, the group's members disbanded in 1980, reformed in 1985, disbanded in 1992 and reformed for the second time in 2000. Such sabbaticals from their career as Wire have served to sharpen the group's edge and focus, updating the tactics with which they pursue this shared project.
