Jordan F - Club Italo [PREMIERE]

By Joshua Bowling (Dream Coast)

Showing no sign of slowing down after the release of last years’ excellent Memory Collision LP, Jordan F returns with the euphoric ‘Club Italo.’ Premiering the single exclusively with Futuremag Music, the Sydney-based artist continues his hot-streak with a hypnotic four-to-the-floor affair.

Featuring driving drum programming and gorgeous arpeggiated synthesiser sequences, ‘Club Italo’ showcases the best of the Jordan F sound he has developed over the best part of the last decade. Channeling the retro sounds of the 80’s while retaining a modern approach to structure and production, the italo-indebted track is an ode to travel and simpler times.

Jordan F’s new four track EP, Eurowave is scheduled for a limited vinyl release in May with sleeve design by Overglow. ‘Club Italo’ will be available to stream on all streaming services from April 2nd.

Mila Nile - Don’t Need Your Love

By Luke Byatt

No lie, I may have fan boy screamed when I saw Mila Nile release ‘Don’t Need Your Love’… The lavish Dance Pop record is a superb addition to her blossoming catalogue.

Mila Nile’s ‘Don’t Need Your Love’ encompasses Scandinavian Pop while also imbuing a distinctive Aussie flair. This blend of culture sets the ascending act apart from her contemporaries. With every release the rising Pop star ups spectacle in every way, from the writing and production to the accompanying visual identity. I’m steadfast in my opinion that Mila Nile is one of the best acts to break through the monotony of today’s Commercial Pop landscape, with ‘Don’t Need Your Love’ being a testament to that.

I’m beyond excited to hear what’s next for Mila Nile, as the project continues to flourish.

EDDIE - A Better Place

By Luke Byatt

EDDIE, Australia’s answer to Deadmau5 returns with ‘A Better Place’.

‘A Better Place’ is an A-Grade example of melancholy Dance. The track swoons with somber tones while also retaining a buoyant beat that drives the record to the dance floor. His aptitude to create lush soundscapes has seen him garner backing from deadmau5, Marshmello, The Aston Shuffle and many more, while also obtaining over twelve million listens across streaming services. ‘A Better Place’ is set to propel the Melbourne based producer to new heights.

I’m eager to hear what’s to come from EDDIE as the year unfolds.
