“Can’t Have Them” is new from Wollongong AU guitar duo Hockey Dad. “Can’t Have Them” with its big syncopated riffs, soaring melodic falsettos, and lo-fi but accessible aesthetic is a Radio 1 hit assuredly waiting to happen.

On new song “Heartbeat”, Australian band East of Here (the Sydney-based collaboration of Joel Spiteri and Mike Holm) tap into some pretty potent and universal lyrical themes of love and loss spun against the backing of a stunning wall of reverbed guitars, vocal loops/manipulations and a minimal driving beat. “Heartbeat” is a particularly powerful listen.

If you’ve turned on hip hop/r&B/pop/life/country radio in the last three-four months you’ve no doubt been immediately acquainted with the ubiquity of Weeknd (amazingly the same Weeknd bro who made House of Balloons) and his Fifty Shades paean “Earned It”. Enter Jeremy Lloyd of soon to be ubiquitous B3 Records alums Marian Hill who takes his expert remix skills to the Weeknd track with the sort of A+ results that 2011 Abel Tesfaye (and the bloggers that made him) would probably vibe to. We dig it.

The new low-key under-the-radar hip-hop fusion producer Small Talk (not to be confused with two different North American bands of the same name) has recently turned out a string of short and sweet, beautifully loaded vocally-superb tracks. On their third and most-recent release Small Talk teams up with talented young Chicagoland songstresses Ava Lake and Maizy Lind on a gorgeous, wonderfully simple acoustic cover of Kid Cudi hit “Erase Me”. With such a fresh well-executed cover under their belt, Small Talk who first surfaced in March with the lovely-vocaled beat-centric debut track “Bitter Sweet”, has us enthusiastic to hear more outstanding beats and fresh collaborations to come.
