SWARÉ returns with his broody dance floor filler ‘REMEMBER’ ...electro beats and catchy choruses



We first heard from Swaré back in August with his eminently dance-able debut ‘I Want You to Move’ and now he’s back and ready to set dance floors across the country aflame with ‘Remember’. 

Listen via Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/i amsware/remember


The latest offering from the emerging Australian artist takes a different route from his debut release without losing any of the things we love about Swaré: slick vocals, big electro beats and oh so catchy choruses. 

Produced by ARIA-nominated Michael McGlynn (L-Fresh the Lion, Little May) and co-produced by Toby Chew Lee of MOZA, Swaré’s ‘Remember’ offers up a smooth, sexy dance pop sound sonicaly whilst exploring deeper lyrically. 

“’Remember’ definitely has more meaning for me personally”, Swaré explains. “It’s the first time I’m actually singing about stuff that happened to me that isn’t just about going out and dancing. I don’t think it’s a particularly dark track necessarily, there’s just more emotional stuff going on there. I still want people to dance to it.” 

No need for concern there! Wrap your ears around this one and let the music do all the work. Swaré has delivered the goods yet again.

BAD FRENCH - NEW SINGLE ‘ALL YOUR DAYS ARE HERE WHERE YOU ARE NOW’



Following on from releasing their standout singles ‘Finley’s Downfall’, ‘Erroll’s Forest’ and ‘Within You’, Central Coast-based dance-pop duo, Bad French, have just returned by revealing their brand-new cut ‘All Your Days Are Here Where You Are Now’.

Stream the track on SOUNDCLOUD Here

Recorded and produced by the band themselves between their Sydney and Central Coast home studios, ‘All Your Days Are Here Where You Are Now’ is another intriguing slice of 80’s inspired electro-pop glimmering with moments of psychedelia and reminiscent to some of the group’s staple influences Tame Impala, AIR and Icehouse.

Song-writer / multi-instrumentalist, M. Carney describes the creative and recording process for ‘All Your Days Are Here Where You Are Now’:-

“Dan kicked off the musical idea one lazy afternoon in his studio at MacMasters Beach on an acoustic guitar with a chilled-out drum beat. I "Bad Frenchified" it with some stabby synths and found a drony pulsing bass sound to sit underneath. The chorus was at first an offbeat melodic idea, but Dan matched his words to it, and it became quite an unusual musical mantra that has grown on us over time. We then decided go to Jupiter and back with the instrumental!”




Their previous singles have received support from local online press, community radio and triple j Unearthed. The group have also performed shows supporting the likes of I Know Leopard, Polish Club, Boo Seeka and have even held their own gigs on front man Daniel Forsyth’s front lawn.

Over the coming months the band will continue to work on new material and perform around Sydney and the NSW Central Coast.

‘All Your Days Are Here Where You Are Now’ is now available to stream via Soundcloud and available via Spotify, Apple Music and all other good digital retailers.

Justin Hunter .. new single release "Clever Boy"..Depeche Mode meets The Presets



Justin Hunter is a passionate lover of life, absolute adventure maniac, ultra-marathon runner, electro music fan and instrumental pianist. Justin’s career began in the most humble of ways: in his hometown of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, playing for tips on the piano in his local café. Just three years later Justin has sold thousands of CDs and acquired himself a legion of passionate fans.

Justin’s piano music seems to touch even the most unlikely of (potential) fans. His music has fallen into the hands of artists such as Chris Martin, Pink, Erykah Badu, MIA and Bono.

His first CD release came after customers were insistent that they be able to take his music home with them. ‘Mountain to Masses’, his first album cost a grand sum of $180 to record, and was quick to sell out in Katoomba and the surrounding towns. This prompted Justin to embark on a 10,000km CD-selling journey over the next few years, traveling inland from Queensland, through New South Wales and Victoria, where once in Melbourne, Justin decided to reside among the plethora of creative spaces available to young artists.

 The past few years have seen Justin sell volumes of CDs, unprecedented in the current industry for most independent acts without a label, publicist or via traditional retail. His fan-base has evolved through personalised, direct selling during his travels and the strength of word-of-mouth that lovers of music naturally generate.

Justin Hunter's latest dance track is entitled ‘Clever Boy’, which he worked on with DJ Northie. Described as "Depeche Mode meets The Presets", Clever Boy has Justin stepping up to the microphone to perform the vocals himself. ‘Never underestimate others’ is the underlying message of the song, inspired by Justin’s friends & life experiences. The process of being a fool, admitting your faults, getting wiser, and taking control of life defines ‘Clever Boy’.

Since the release of 'Bleed 4 You' with Silent Titan (Thundamentals), Justin is not slowing down. He is currently working with various DJ’s, whilst continuing to collaborate with DJ Kid Kenobi & singer/songwriter Abbe May.
