Over the course of the last 12 months, these two futuristic bass house masterminds have been putting out some killer tunes and are absolutely nailing it.

Fast forward six months and Melia along with band mates Matt O’Gorman, Will Drummond and Nic Wilson have just returned from Berlin, Germany wher
If I was to begin this article singing “Get the f*** out my bitch” there is no doubt the majority of you would be able to hum the gutsy guitar riff that follows. The man behind that classic track is Tarek Smallman, aka T-rek. Released by Ministry of sound in 2010 this is the one song which opened my
The Black Sorrows continue to be one of Australia’s most successful touring bands and 2014 has proven nothing different.
