Fresh Tracks This Week
Zanetic – Two To The Floor
Justin Zanetic, a young producer from Perth has delivered one monster of a Tune here! You could say he is the Skrillex of Australia, though Skrillex sounds as though he just wants to shatter ear drums sometimes. Zanetic has a more delicate feel, full of ingenious detail that creates tracks that are intense without being overly excessive. Two To The Floor features colossal bass drops, harsh tones and some irregular beats. All in all one killer tune – describe it as you wish…
Emma Louise – Jungle (Muscles Bootleg Club Remix)
We have all heard sweet Emma Louise’s song Jungle. Now we have the remix provided by Melbourne producer Muscles. It’s different, what do you think?
The Delta Riggs – Time
This rock outfit from Melbourne released Talupo Mountain Music Vol. 1 on June 3rd and you can grab it from www.thedeltariggs.com or listen to some more tracks at soundcloud. With a great upbeat chorus and a southern rock sound they will have you rocking, bopping and singing along in no time. A great driving tune with some witty piano, who do they remind you of?
Owls Of The Swamp – So Far Away & Tricks and Turns
Beautiful guitar and sweet Lyrics combined with a soothing voice. Changing tempo not city, this lad also from Melbourne (Pete Uhlenbruch) has released his new album ‘Go with River’ on June 18th. It delivers a collection of captivating and spell-finding folk songs featuring graceful acoustic finger picking melted with resonant vocals and sparse yet evocative instrumentation. Featuring guest appearances from an international cast of musicians, this is an honest and personal album about reconnecting with nature and the great beyond. Listen to more tracks from ‘Go with River” at soundcloud or check out http://www.owlsoftheswamp.com/ for more info.
San Cisco – Girls Do Cry
Another quality song from San Cisco thus proving Golden Revolver to be an EP with more than a title track. Girls Do Cry is a cute little pop song with a simple & clever hook. This video was directed by Anna Li & Hannah Metz, one of the creators and designers for The Loved One, a sassy New York Lingerie company (www.thelovedone.net)

Song of The Day – BONJAH “Go Go Chaos”
Pop/Rock
These Guys from Melbourne have given us another taste of their second album “Go Go Chaos” due out on the 15th of July. The title track from the album is a little different to the other tracks we have already heard from BONJAH. “The White Line” & “Something We Should Know” have a punk pop/ blues feel to them delivered with heaps of energy. “Go Go Chaos” is more of a subtle pop song that shows huge progress for the band with a completely new sound. It features superb gated reverb on the snare drum that is draw out in the last minuet of the song. As always the distinctive quality lyrics and rough vocals are present. The whole track is slowed down, cruisey and very laid back with some great guitar lines to pull it all together.
BONJAH are a band that work hard and have been around since 2006 when they jumped the ditch from New Zealand to land in Melbourne. Rolling stone nominated them for the 2011 “artist to watch” award and they have sold over 20,00 copies of their previous album. Let us know what you think of BONJAH and their new song/album “Go Go Chaos”
