Featured track info and artist bios:

Bodies in Motion by Saint Ergo
Saint Ergo is a local musician from the Dandenong Ranges, with their new track Bodies In Motion starting its life as a question. What if light and love could be interchangeable at a quantum level? The song evolved to become a celebration of love and connection that transcends our limited experiences of gender and that infinite love is woven through the fabric of the universe and every body, every gender expression and every sexual orientation is divine.

12th of May by Angus Legg
Angus Legg is the son of the late Alex Legg who was beloved by our local music community here in the Dandenong Ranges. His work has been described praised by triple J presenters as “ masterful, spirited and sublime” and with “emotion that hits like a tonne of bricks.

Where do you come from? by Vika & Linda
Written by Vika & Linda with Mark Seymour, 'Where Do You Come From?' is the most honest the sisters have been about their experience growing up in suburban Melbourne grappling with honouring their Tongan heritage in a population that looked different. Where Do You Come From? is a question we have been asked all our lives. Is it because we don’t look the same? We ask ourselves – who are we? Where do we fit in? Who are we now? Where are we going? While we’ve been trying to figure it out, faces in Australia have changed and we don’t stand out anymore. And yet, as we look out at the world today, the question remains and the struggle continues.

I’m Every Woman by Voice of Lele
Voice of Lele reimagined version of I’m Every Woman transforms the classic into a powerful, contemporary expression of strength, identity and lived experience. As a first-generation West Papuan refugee woman, my life has been shaped by exile, faith, motherhood, and resilience. This song feels like a statement of lived experience. It honours women who have carried families, culture, and responsibility while still holding onto their dreams. When I sing it now, it feels honest and earned. It’s me standing in my truth and saying: I’m still here, and my voice matters.

Borrowed Time by Salarymen
‘Borrowed Time’ is an atmospheric psych-pop/indie rock fusion that takes aim at the music industry’s unspoken expiration date for female artists, combining hazy, reverb-drenched guitars and warbly synths, with  ethereal, captivating vocals. It's retro-leaning but sophisticated in all the right ways, with tight harmonies, clever chord changes and richly-layered soundscapes.
But beneath the shimmering surface lies a hard-hitting message: women in music are working against a clock nobody sets but everyone enforces. Once women hit their late 20s, suddenly there's this quiet pressure, this sense that your window is closing before you've even hit your peak. “In a world increasingly obsessed with youth, women in music are quietly taught that relevance has a shelf life, long before their artistry has room to mature.” says singer Renee de la Motte.

The Colours of Darkness by July Morning
The track is about the all-too-real battles involved with major depressive disorder including fighting intrusive, dark thoughts and the desperation in finding a way through the darkness. “I wrote most of this at the lowest point in my life,” lead vocalist Jesse says. “And it was the most unfiltered capture of the strongest visceral feelings I’ve ever experienced. The lyrics, especially in the second half of the song, are some of the most raw words I’ve ever committed to anything I’ve written, and they were the keys that unlocked the entire album coming together.”
“But channelling what was once the most harrowing time of my life became a major reason for fighting through” Jesse continues. “As dark as the thoughts were that inspired this song, the desire to finish the track, to bring it to the band, to record it, to share it, became such an immense driver of wanting to stay here.”

Love Lessons by Airling feat Tom Iansek
Airling and Tom Iansek’s collaborative relationship is a longstanding intertwining of their kindred creative spirits. Tacit and natural. Their bond has been seminal to Airling’s artistry since day one, with ‘Love Lessons’ reflective of their shorthand in the studio, effortlessly feeding from one to the other. Conversely to the single's subject matter, 'Love Lessons' speaks to the understanding at the heart of a relationship. "I had been writing this idea and played it for Tom one day in the studio,” Airling shares. “We started riffing over some beats and the verses seemed to pour out of h effortlessly. His sensual spoken word narrative got everything to fall into place. Love Lessons then became this warm and glorious song featuring the introspective and extrospective musings of two people trying to navigate their love for one another. I was thinking of negotiation and compromise as a kind of intimate and complex dance.

Honest Liar by Paradise Valley
'Honest Liar' is about abandonment wrapped in ambiguity—a relationship that didn’t fail from lack of love, but from emotional uncertainty and missed understanding. Written after reconnecting with an old flame, it explores the vulnerability of what we once shared, the confusion of youth, and how time and honest conversations later revealed what we couldn’t see together.

Maybe by emmiloiu
emilou’s latest single speaks to anyone who’s been caught in the chaos of someone more unpredictable than Melbourne weather. Written in just 10 minutes and produced in a day with James Seymour (FEELDS, Merpire, Romanie), ‘Maybe’ is the kind of cathartic track that pours out all at once.
Set in the aftermath, when the dust has settled and the emotional tug-of-war is over, ‘Maybe’ captures the moment you realise you’ve been strung along and the power finally shifts back into your hands. And maybe... you find the strength to say, “F you, bye.”
