YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO

LA LANI – ‘SUNSET AT SULUBAN’: One of Adelaide’s fastest moving DJ’s, La Lani has been keeping late night dance floors on high heat across the city for a few good years. So, it’s with great excitement we get to hear her debut single release, ‘Sunset At Suluban’. Made specifically for the club, this bouncy, summer-session anthem demands dancing from the get- go and never lets up. Expect to hear these high energy hops and slick hooks across all Hindley Street watering holes this new year – a white hot hit to welcome 2024 .
