BEATS: MARCH
Resident disco advisor Sam Lavers gets down with what’s happening in SA when it comes to hip-hop, house and techno this March
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO
ELSY WAMEYO – ‘SINNER’: Now a well-established and widely respected artist, Elsy Wameyo spreads her wings with power and emotion in her newest single release, ‘Sinner’. January saw weeks of teasers and a complete rebrand of Wameyo’s online streams, which had us all eager for what was to come. Sure enough, this release (along with its film clip), firmly elevates her artist status and will see her soar internationally. Recognised instantly after the song’s release with an APRA AMCOS Professional Development Award, she’s ready for export. It’s clear we need to keep an eye on Elsy Wameyo throughout 2024!

PENDULUM DJ SET: Australian drum and bass overlords Pendulum return home to Australia for a run of DJ sets across the country.
