Jay-Z Announces New Album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’

Amid a frenzied weekend surrounding the premature release of Kanye’s latest album/baby, hip hop legend Jay-Z has reclaimed the spotlight from his Watch The Throne collaborator with the announcement of a new album due in July.

With similarly questionable deity references a la Kanye West's Yeezus, Jay-Z’s twelfth studio…

Fast & Furious 6 Review

Having taken the money and run two years ago, Toretto, O'Conner and the gang have hung up their NOS tanks and started new, peaceful lives in non-extradition countries, but a brazen road heist has Agent Hobbs going straight to Toretto – to ask for his help. Knowing that the team…

Live Review: Jesus Christ Superstar At Entertainment Centre, Tue Jun 4

Whether you came for the musical or for the chance to see a Spice Girl in the flesh (guilty), Jesus Christ Superstar offered a truly religious experience for fans of rock operas and satire of Biblical proportions. With ticket sales across both Adelaide shows selling out rapidly, it…

The Internship Review

If you can see past the fact that this pic features the most extreme and shameless product placement in cinematic history, producer/director Shawn Levy’s endearingly silly character comedy should hit just the right buttons (get it?).

A pair of ace but now 40-ish salesmen are fired by their boss (John…

Allday: Loners Are Cool

Allday returns with his EP Loners Are Cool, which is a polished, easy-going melodic look at contemporary Australian hip hop.

Breathe Slow sets up the tuneful and pleasant vibe of the album, which deals with some hard-hitting themes such as substance abuse and unhealthy relationships. Allday’s collaboration with Brady James…

Q+A With Alison Moyet

Alison Moyet is beloved by electronic music fans as the young singer of '80s new wave combo Yazoo (with ex-Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke). But she's forged an impressive solo career.

Local Film Student Goes Viral With ‘In My Shoes’

Adelaide film student Nima Raoofi is the latest local to go viral on YouTube, proving you don’t need a multimillion-dollar budget to be a successful interweb machine (all you need is a cat in a box on a skateboard, see Cat Boarding).

The Persian refugee, who moved here a year…

Disclosure: Settle

You wouldn’t believe it at first listen – nor second, nor third – but the production duo behind much-hyped dance newcomers Disclosure are brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, aged just 19 and 22. Equally as unbelievable is that their full-length album Settle is the pair’s debut. In Australia they’re clearly…

Jagwar Ma Announce Headline Australian Tour

Sydney electronic tastemakers Jagwar Ma have rescheduled their long-awaited Australian tour, announcing four Splendour In The Grass sideshows in July.

J Cole Interview

Hip hop may have hot MCs like Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky, but only Jermaine ('J') Cole is Jay-Z's protégé. The conscious MC/producer has never favoured OTT braggadocio and doesn't attract hype, yet he is ambitious. Indeed, this month Cole is back with his sophomore, Born Sinner. One of 2013's…

Every Time I Die Announce Album Tour

Metalcore leaders Every Time I Die are touring this October in celebration of their newest album Ex Lives, their first new release in six years.
