Diving Back To The Future | Sea Through Sound | Nick Wilkinson | Phelt Pheatures

Using his images of club scenes and ocean photography as the AI’s source, Nick has created art that melts our perception of reality.

Premiere: “Sechelt” | pete.mcm | Phelt Phinds 035

“Sechelt” feels meditative, not only for the artist, ruminating on his journey to self-improvement, but also how it encourages the listener to engage. Inspiring idle time for reflection, the composition guides one through a delicate balance between hopefulness and melancholy.

Must Watch: Constellation | Apple Original

Only three episodes in and Constellation is brimming with psychological horror, a series that makes you question what’s real and what’s not. Having just finished the fourth season of True Detective (Night Country), I’m glad to have found this similarly eerie body of work – one that draws you into a whirlpool of intrigue and supernatural occurrences.
“Are You Looking Up” | Mk.Gee | Phelt Phinds 034

Music

“Are You Looking Up” | Mk.Gee | Phelt Phinds 034

This at times busy ear space gives a nostalgic ambience to the track, like discovering a song in the bustling warmth of a café or crowded bar for the first time.
“A Cold Sunday” | Lil Yachty | Phelt Phinds 033

Music

“A Cold Sunday” | Lil Yachty | Phelt Phinds 033

Dressed stylishly in a patterned blue bandana, long-sleeve white tee and furry boots the artist flows lyrically on situation-ships with women, stupid financial decisions and the pitfalls of getting famous far too young.

Teacups | Alec Green & Finbar Watson | Phelt Pheatures

Teacups captures Richie’s approach immaculately. There is nothing heavy-handed about this short which gently holds our hand throughout the 7 minutes and 40 seconds, much the way Don Richie and his wife Moya held the hands and troubles of those countless lives they saved.

“Muziqa Heywèté” | Getatchew Mekurya | Phelt Phinds 032

Part of his Negus of Ethiopian Sax album, the 3:10 minute track is a brassy portal to our very own lands of milk and honey. The saxophone beckons desire; and stirs an acute longing for something we didn’t realise we wanted.

TROVE 005 | Command D

Command D (Charley Fester) has been making the right kind of sounds lately with club heads across Australia and the rest of the world latching onto his deep, dubby and delightful creations.

Beyond The Frame | Mandy Sham | Phelt Pheatures

From heaving Mumbai side streets, to the starkly beautiful Unyuni Salt Flats of Bolivia, back to intimate moments shared with strangers over meals, Mandy’s work brings a wise wanderlust into our lives. It’s as though she has been perpetually wandering the earth documenting its most beautiful and secret places just for you.

Nomadic Perfectionist | George Hatton | Phelt Pheatures

George’s creations pop. There’s a freshness to his output that feels like a garden hose aimed at you on a scorching summer day. The typographical explorations are bold and clean, leaving an indelible impression on both the page and the mind.
“All The Way” | Squidgenini | Phelt Phinds 031

Music

“All The Way” | Squidgenini | Phelt Phinds 031

Lines like “I don’t want to be here all of my life” and “Living my life, doing what I say,” are empowering and resonate universally. There’s a Nai Palm-esque (Hiatus Kaiyote) flavour to Squidgenini’s vocal tone–each note dripping in soul and indefinable magic.

Premiere | Oliver Henry Live Stream | Civic Underground

Today, we’re lucky enough to premiere the live stream of Henry’s set – a journey sprinkled with never before heard edits from the man himself. By the looks of things, this was one hell of a time at the controls as well as for those on the dancefloor.

TROVE 004 | Lovejoy

Today’s selections come at a time when we have never been further apart. Morgan’s recently taken up some work as a Music Coordinator in a remote community in the NT, & I (Jack) am right now sitting in my accommodation in Tanzania.

Humans Of Napoli | Robbie McIntosh | Phelt Pheatures

Wisely, Robbie captures the majority of his subjects at the seaside, away from all the madness. In nothing but swimsuits, the locals suck down tobacco, shuck oysters and nibble Cambrian treats while they glaze in a multitude of vitamin D.

“Lebanese Blonde” | Thievery Corporation | Phelt Phinds 30

A fitting soundtrack to an elegant bank heist montage; iconic of a turn-of-the-century film. Or the diegetic music spilling out of our protagonist’s radio, as they drive at a mysterious hour; slightly tinted sunglasses, sardonic silk shirt & cigarette smoke plumes a gogo.

“Harmonix” | Tom VR & Louf | Phelt Phinds 029

Listening to this reminds me of watching flowers bloom in timelapse, a beautiful evolution made up of distinct and appealing stages.

Subcultural Exuberance | Saul Good | Phelt Pheatures

Studying Saul’s work there’s a playfulness and zest to every subject matter he tackles. In one piece, a painter whistles a merry tune as he heads off for a day on the job. In another, a jolly fruit vendor juggles oranges in a commissioned work for Atomic Beer.

Delightfully Deviant | Kim Manning | Phelt Pheatures

What Kim puts down on paper is stunning, an unbridled depiction of sexual pleasure. Wielding an array of watercolours she brings raunchy and arousing scenes to life. In one work, women explore each other's soaking bodies in the shower. In another, a man enters his partner as they writhe under the sheets.

One Day At A Time | Victor Shergill | Phelt Pheatures

More Than Human | Bela Rofe | Phelt Pheatures

The Australian artist (now based in Berlin) leans into the growing posthuman and ecocritical art movements which focus on decentering Human beings and reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life; fauna, flora and beyond. Sparked by her innate “curiosity about if and how other organisms think, feel and communicate”, Rofe uses her work to remind us we live in a “more-than-human world”.

Beauty In Ambiguity | Caleb Reid | Phelt Pheatures

Caleb paints on impulse. Allergic to the word inspiration, he paints with little preconceptions, allowing the images to surface on the canvas before him. In his latest series PAINTINGS,  Caleb has created portraits of the unknown. To him, they “feel like ghosts or old photos”.
