Sydney-based DJ-producer, I Remember House party organiser and all-round nice guy Dan Murphy teams up with Sydney singer Kristen Pearson for a second time (the previous time was via Dan’s band, Mystery Blonde) with a remake of Republica’s 1996 hit, ‘Ready to Go’. This is a fun-filled, rollicking dance-floor filler.
Perth-based 5-piece alt-rock band Birds of Tokyo have a new compilation album out soon, and a new feature single, ‘I’d Go With You Anywhere’, sits nicely in weekday JOY.
A Great Big World are from New York and scored a #1 hit in Australia last year with ‘Say Something’, a collaboration with Christina Aguilera. Their new single, ‘Hold Each Other’, is a pronoun-positive love song, with one of the duo, Chad King, making it clear in a recent interview it was specifically rewritten this way and has become his big coming-out song.
All the recent Jonas brother attention has been focused on the youngest sibling, Nick. Older brother Joe has obviously decided he needs in on the action: he has formed a new band, DNCE, with himself as lead singer and released a very radio-friendly, dance-pop debut single in ‘Cake by the Ocean’.
Set your alarm and tune into Rochén and Michael on the six at six for the newest songs to the mix, every weekday at 6am Melbourne time.
