Freaks of Nature

GRAMMY-nominated duo Sofi Tukker mark a major career milestone with their first release for Republic Records and a high-profile global collaboration

The globally renowned club brand brings its most ambitious Testament edition yet across Australia and New Zealand this July, celebrating the defining sounds of 90s and 00s club culture across seven cities and eleven nights.

London-born, Paris-based producer and DJ Maesic has quietly become one of the most talked-about new names in global dance music, and his breakthrough track Life Is Simple (Move Your Body) is now firmly established as a defining house record of the moment. With Australia deep in summer and festival season in full flow, the track has arrived as an effortless fit for beachside playlists, outdoor stages and the wider feel-good energy that traditionally defines the start of a new year.

One of dance music's most notorious unreleased tracks is finally official. Fatboy Slim's Satisfaction Skank, long regarded as one of the world's most bootlegged recordings, has been cleared for release after 25 years in limbo. The breakthrough came after The Rolling Stones approved the use of their iconic riff from (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

British electronic innovators Faithless will return to Australia and New Zealand in March 2026, marking their first visit to the region in fifteen years, as they bring their signature mix of house, trip-hop and dub to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland. Their last appearance on Australian soil was at the Good Vibrations festival in 2011, a moment remembered for showcasing one of the most influential acts in global club culture.

Confidence Man have supercharged the rollout of their upcoming EP, Active Scenes Vol One, with the release of Gossip (Chris Lake Remix), a high-voltage rework by one of the most prolific figures in global dance music. Chris Lake brings a refined and explosive club energy to the single, a move that underscores the growing international reach of the Australian group. The remix arrives as a centrepiece moment for the EP campaign, a significant endorsement from a producer known for shaping modern electronic music with precision and intent.

This December, two of the most forward-thinking names in electronic music will unite for a new collaborative project. Australian producer What So Not and Dutch innovator Buunshin are set to release The Quiet That Hurts on Friday 5 December, a five-track EP that merges raw emotion with experimental sound design.
