Stream: Taken Blame - Gordi

Taken Blame is the gorgeous new track from Sydney artist Gordi, real name Sophie Payten. 

Payten moved to Sydney from Tanzania in order to develop her music and study medicine. Taking early demos recorded in her university dorm room in Sydney's Newtown she worked with Melbourne producer Banjamin McCarthy to turn them into the full widescreen versions we hear now. 

First single Nothing's As It Seems got picked up by Triple J and Taken Blame builds on the earthy folk-infused pop of that first track and takes Gordi's sound to new heights. This is the first track from an EP, due in May, so expect to here much more from Gordi in 2015.

Stream: Night Vision feat. Emma - Elmntry

Lovely dreamy track from 22-year-old Sydney producer Elmntry, real name Rowan Bosman. Bosman takes his inspiration from Ta-Ku, Tokimonsta and Pnau, and on Night Vision the vocal from Emma really takes this track to a special place.

Night Vision is taken from Elmntry's forthcoming EP Illustrious.

Stream: Mine - Phoebe Ryan

Following on from Phoebe Ryan's awesome R Kelly / Miguel mashup of Ignition / Do You... last week she has now shared her new single Mine, out Wednesday. Very pop, much soul.

Video: Catastrophe - Yumi Zouma

Gorgeous new track and video from Yumi Zouma that perfectly encapsulates that whistful feeling of hopelessness when your mood is entirely dependent on someone else's actions. Love this.

Catastrophe is taken from the group's EP II, released through Cascine on March 10. You can pre-order it here.

EP Review: I Like Disco - Lonely Boy

Futureboogie are kicking off 2015 with I Like Disco, a new release from Lonely Boy, real name Joshua Heath.

The title track is an funky electro cut full of elastic bass and clean lines that feels modern whilst drawing on plenty of memories from the past. There are hints of mid-noughties tech-house, the Get Physical label and early Crosstown Rebels... It's slick and catchy without spilling its guts. Emperor Machine provides a remix that toughs up the original, pulling back on the whirling synth melodies and beefing out the sharp basslines and chunky drums - it is distinctly Emperor Machine in other words.

B-side The Subtle Frenzy is a slow building track, percussive elements echo and bounce like ping pong balls whilst a progressive groove is gradually layered on thicker and thicker to create something clearly created for peaking dancefloors.

The release closes with digital exclusive Take Your Time. It is a more measured, slower building track with a melody that loops whilst a set of loose percussion shuffles on. It is a more ominous and less certain conclusion for the release, but just as good as everything else here.

I Like Disco is out now through Futuireboogie.
