This Week's Playlist – Week 1, May 2025
Ky Mi- May 1
- 2 min read
Was this week one of May, or week five of April? At what point did things get so... complicated?
What’s not complicated is that Australian electronic music is sh*t hot right now. If you’re still listening to whatever’s being flogged 18 times a day on commercial radio, I’ve got to say you’re missing out on an absolutely wild range of fresh Aussie tracks. And honestly? I’m a bit sad for you.
Turn off that Pink Pony Club or your 90s throwback playlist for a sec and check out what your local artists are creating. From low-key groovers like Mel Blue – 2 Go to the deep, textured chaos of Lost Mind Therapy – Science Behind the Darkness (Notion Remix), there’s something in here that’ll hit. I dare ya.
Listen to the Show
Track of the Week 1: Think Again - Sweatbaby
Alright, I’ve got a thing for breakup anthems, and Sweatbaby’s “Think Again” just marched straight into my personal Breakup | Dance playlist. This ravey, defiant heater from Sydney hits that perfect sweet spot with 147 bpm of dancefloor catharsis with echoes of early 2000s trance, garage, and mixtape era attitude.
“You think I’m going to stay…” Not bloody likely. I'll be on the dance floor.
Track of the Week 2: Solid - Cut Copy
SURPRISE! Or not. This week needed a second Track of the Week.
Picture this: it’s 2008, you’ve got Hearts on Fire on repeat, life feels euphoric, and you’re riding high on synths and serotonin. That’s exactly where I was transported the moment I hit play on Cut Copy's latest offering, their first in around five years. I shed a tear. Legit.
If Think Again is a defiant breakup anthem, Solid is your gorgeous, loved-up glow-up. It’s the eyes closed, head back moment that reminds you love can still feel like magic.
Both tracks are equally deserving of your ears.
