was a vibe! Overly impressed with what Kane Parsons was able to achieve in his directorial debut at only 20yo! Props to A24 for giving him the platform.

Did anyone else spot this cheeky easter egg?

I'm back with new music!

Still on the trip-hop tip, coming in hot with James K's most recent album, the modestly titled 'Friend'.

This bad boy dropped late last year, and it's been on repeat ever since.

It feels less like an album and more like a physical place you disappear into for one hour and one minute to escape reality. A warm, impossibly immersive haze that blurs ambient pop and trip-hop into something weightless and emotional.

What stands out the most is how it manages to so effortlessly balance dreamy pop sensibilities with an experimental edge. It's hypnotic and truly stunning from front to back.

Standout tunes: Blinkmoth (July Mix) and Doom Bikini.

Its ya boy J-Slyde here with some new music to share!

I've been on a heavy trip-hop tip over the past few weeks and have discovered some absolute gems along the way, so I thought it was only fair to share the gold.

Today we have Stone's debut album, Dream Curtain Eternally Gentle.

A delightful slice of moody 90s-esque, slow-burning boom-bappy beats that meander through downtempo and trip-hop textures across 9 delightful tunes. The only downside to this beautiful album is that its run time is a shy 45 minutes in length. Stone clearly opting for quality over quantity here... and I'm totally okay with that.

Choona highlight of the album: Soozy.

Historically accurate. And no, I will not explain myself.

Simon Murphy's Rainbow Spirit Festival set is now live over on breathe.!

This was a very, very special set, closing out the entire festival. Whilst it wasn't the traditional "Mad Monday" set, it was full of magical moments and the perfect way to bookend the long weekend.

Do yourselves a favour and hit play ASAP!

Cupla choice snaps from my set at Rainbow Spirit Festival.

One shot where I wasn't sure where to plug my headphones, and then the other is after I figured that part out, and I was playing the music.

I have also provided a photo of what it looked like from the decks, which I hope will illustrate how hard it was to find where to plug my headphones.

Rainbow Spirit Festival 2026: The Return of The Mack!

Words can't begin to describe how good it was to feel the Rainbow vibes again after a 7-year-long hiatus. This set was put together with nothing but good vibes intended, and my little way of welcoming back a special part of us all that had been missing.

A couple of cheeky numbers were thrown in to signal The Return, drop some sage words of advice, and note that we've been afforded Another Chance at the magic this beautiful festival brings us all.

Thank you to KODIAK KID and the rest of the Homestead crew for having me, including the incredibly welcoming backstage team, and Carter, the most lovely sound tech ever.

It was so rejuvenating to feel the Rainbow Spirit Festival vibes again after 7 long years.

The team did such a wonderful job at creating a very special weekend for all of us lucky attendees.

A genuine thank you to everyone involved, and a big hug to those who came down to see me open the Homestead stage on Sunday morning.

The set recording will be up shortly. Here's a little footage my stunning wife captured.
