This week’s PBS Feature Album is Just My Luck from BATTS, the project of Naarm/Melbourne-based musician, Tanya Batt.

The recent release follows her AMP nominated sophomore album ‘The Nightline’ which was supported around the world by BBC 6 Music, NPR, Brooklyn Vegan, NME, Sterogum and other prominent outlets. Batt’s main focus for the third album was to fall in love with music again, to find the joy and playfulness in it all, something she felt she had lost through grief and the toxicities that exist in the industry.

Amrap has announced a new partnership between the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) and Gadigal Information Service (GIS) to relaunch the First Sounds compilation series.

This week’s PBS Feature Album is A Lion Is A Lion, the latest release from Melbourne/Naarm afro-beat duo Cool Out Sun.

Melbourne’s afro hip hop veterans Cool Out Sun are a unique cross-cultural group spearheaded by Sierra-Leonean Australian MC N'fa Jones, and South African Australian Producer Sensible J. The group will drop the bustling, percussive and beautifully melodic LP A Lion Is a Lion on Friday October 4 through their own label, House Of Beige. Featuring an incredible line up of local guests, the LP includes collaborations with Sampa The Great, Immy Owusu, Lamine Sonko, Vida Sunshyne, Bilalli and more!
