You Should Listen To
Godlands & Lizdek – ‘Element’
Whip out the hammer and tongs: Adelaide’s own Godlands has cooked up a ferocious two-minute burner. Co-produced by Canadian producer Lizdek, the track combines underworld atmospheres with thick raucous bass hits that’ll have you hitting repeat again and again and again. Fresh from playing a set at Ultra in Miami and releasing a few new singles, Godlands is at the top of her game. And we’ve got a feeling this isn’t the last we’ll hear from the SA star in 2024...
