Coastal Elite Releases first track of Music For Marinas Pt.02 "Headline News" feat. Professor Groove
Their new track, Headline News, the first sacrificial lamb - dare we say first racing stallion out of the blocks - from the impending Music For Marinas: Pt. II release, is undeniably smooooth, and officially released Friday November 8. Out now, listen here:It's a cover of an incredibly obscure track by a nicely bearded soul singer called William Bell, that was on a dance compilation obsessed over by Beagley and Kapferer when they were funk children growing up in the badlands of Adelaide.
The Coastal Elite band on this track is Terepai Richmond (drums & perc), Michael Di Francesco (Bass), Richard Sanford (main keys and mix), Chloe West aka Pretty Mess (BV's), Jonathon "JC" Corea (saxophone), Josh Beagley (guitar - actually it got deleted in the mix, so kinda no credit there, but he did do the Production, programming and some additional keys and percussion), and Harry Sutherland aka Australian Athlete and Sergio kinda gently duelling with some wailing synths. -
Holiday Sidewinder Releases Debut Album "Forever or Whatever"
Forever Or Whatever is an ambitious and game-changing record invoking the electrifying energy of icons Prince, Kylie Minogue, Debbie Harry and Annie Lennox. Recorded at Tony Visconti’s Dean Street Studios in London and mastered at Abbey Road, the all killer no filler eight-track album features previously released singles "Casino” (lauded by Rolling Stone as a “cocky, glossy blur of pure hedonistic glam") and unapologetic thot-bop "Leo", which saw Sidewinder heralded as a millennial Madonna for her poptastic and triumphant reclamation of sexual agency. Hailed as a “global pop sensation” (Paper Mag), “a shining light in the darkness” (LA record), and “a blinding force to be reckoned with” (Purple Sneakers) Holiday Sidewinder has arrived with a lusty, powerful debut driven by shimmering synths and classic late-night disco beats.

Florian's New Femme-Power Anthem "Ultramachine" Out Now
Florian brings you a melt in your mouth pure pop hit with her new single Ultramachine, an anthem about being a super female, knowing your worth, staying in your own lane and saying a huge f*ck you to anyone who tells you otherwise.
A slow build up with Florian's powerful vocal front and centre lures you into a false sense of security before the track transforms and double times into a thumping uptempo mega beat replete with shimmering synths, melodic guitars and shouting girl power choruses. It's like she's the secret love child incarnate of Madonna, Gwen Stefani and The Pointer Sisters.
Ultramachine is unapologetically epic, driven by a 80's pop undercurrent and dynamics that will give you whiplash!
Accompanied by a cinemaxxed music video filled with dancing on bars, glitter cannons, drag queens, nail salon dreamscapes and a full Rocky Balboa-esque boxing scene. Mega.
