Over the past years, Australia has offered us a number of bands and producers with a distinctive sound. Still argued whether they add a indie feel to dance music or a dance feel to indie music the fact is that this new "australian sound" attracts more and more fans worlwide.
Coupons are a new breed within this australian indie dance scene, calling their style dreamrave: a restless amalgamation of bright textures and toe-tapping percussion. take 8 parts of disco, 4 parts 80's pop and 17 parts of awesome and you'll get the picture. After a number of fine remixes under their belts, "Driving to Your House Party" is their debut release featuring remixes from fellow australian producer/musician Jad and The Ladyboy and two Discotexas in house producers: Xinobi and Moullinex, the latter in collaboration with SymbolOne, introducing their new collaboration moniker, 'Gesso'.

Shindu
Living so close to the Belgian border doesn't make me as objective as one can be. But who can resist the amount of pleasure being created by our Belgium friends from Mustang; Villa; Moonlight Matters; The Magician; Mickey; Wirspielen and many others. And so the story continues... Like The Glimmers; The Subs; Soulwax/2 Many dj's and some of the earlier named acts, SHINDU also find its base in an "enormously creative city" called Ghent.
After 4 years of playing and promoting parties all over Belgium. Static & Greedy, Chistopher D'havé and Maxime Abbenbroek decided to step up their game and start producing their own music. Together with Chibi (Tine Vanwijnsberghe) as their vocalist they formed the band SHINDU. An Eighties pop/synth electronica band. Static & Greedy are known for bringing electro/nu-rave dj-sets, but if you're born in the 80ies you can't hide your love for the sounds of synthy vocal pop/electronica. And it’s on that basis that SHINDU was born. Their tracks are written and produced with the essential help of good friend Sebastiaan Vandevoorde, known from Villa and Moonlight Matters.
If it doesn't come from Belgium it ain't synthful
