Slight Return.



"Another single you say? Half the album been's released you think? Well, they've definitely sold out." Get to fook haters, EotS are making sure people are still considering them for their best of lists two years after the initial release of Walking On A Dream with this stunning re-record of Half Mast.

Following suite from the heartbreaking new version of Without You, Luke sharpens the production and adds some flavour to give Half Mast (Slight Return) a serious kick in the clubs. Taking away from the nostalgic, belearic feel, EotS destroys the original with a stunning break at 1:50 and prove their dominance in the Australian electronic scene.

With a headlining act at Future Music coming up, as well as a new EotS, PNAU, Sleepy Jackson and a solo record from Luke, the duo will be off their feet in 2010 to maintain their stay at the top of the pile.

Miami Whore-or.



Miami Horror can do wrong at the moment. Their first EP Bravado went bananas in the electronic world, and now a delightful follow up with Sometimes has generated huge anticipation for the debut album, dropping sometime in Twenty10.

Recently, I found a new release of the Sometimes EP (having already been released last year), dubbed Sometimes Remixed, featuring a huge mix from Sydney's own Hook 'n Sling. H'n'S strip back the vocals, add their own blips here and swirly, disco-tinged pop beats there and result with the best remix I've heard this year.

Make sure to pick up the original Sometimes EP with lovely remixes courtesy of G.L.O.V.E.S. and Fred Falke, as well as getting on the new Ministry Of Sound: Clubbers Guide to 2010 which features a Hook 'n' Sling disc in amongst it. Get on it. X

This is the moment.



And as the dust settles from a soon forgotten decade, Twenty10 rises from the ashes, promising so much, the price fatal if it cannot deliver. With so much expectation, can we really pin our hopes on the fresh sounds of RAdelaide duo 'Get Stellar' on the oh so cool 'Hindley Records' label (I love it when my hometown throws up things liek this).

Honestly, probably not, but by fook is their EP a killer. Already with huge remixes from 'G.L.O.V.E.S.' and fellow RAdelaide boys 'Def Starr', 'The Moment' induces that swirly, disco-tinged feelings of optimism that this could be your year.

However, it's the b-side that steals the show on this release. 'Believe' smacks you in the face with sounds from the skies, mixing it with pornobeats that can only be made with experience. Buy this from you local iTunes retailer. Get on it.
