    Bag Raiders are icons of the Australian dance scene. After dropping cult underground cuts (Fun Punch, Turbo Love, Big Fun), Jack Glass and Chris Stracey signed to Modular Records and released their game-changing, self-titled debut album in 2010. The LP featured hit singles Way Back Home, Sunlight, Snake Charmer, and the now-legendary Shooting Stars and debuted at No. 7 on the ARIA Album Chart, earning nominations from ARIA, triple j and APRA. Shooting Stars has since become a global phenomenon, racking up over 4 billion streams, 40+ Platinum and 7 Gold certifications, 18 million Shazam’s and peaked at No. 11 on Billboard’s Dance chart.

    Bag Raiders followed with acclaimed EPs (Waterfalls, Checkmate, Friend Inside) and teamed up with Mayer Hawthorne on Beat Me to the Punch. Their second LP Horizons arrived in 2019 featuring the hits How Long and Lightning and in 2022 they launched their own label Broken Head Records dropping club bangers including Love Me Back, Right Here and Saliba.

    In 2023, Troye Sivan sampled Shooting Stars on his Grammy-nominated single Got Me Started and received the Bag Raiders remix treatment. The duo then collaborated with Boston Bun (SAVE ME) and Panama (Flowers) via Future Classic and released house anthem Hold Me, via UK label The Cross Records.

    Bag Raiders kick off 2026 with another monster club cut Out of My Mind, an extensive global tour and a relentless release schedule of club weapons to keep you groovin’ all year long.

    Leaning into the unknown and embracing new sonic inspirations has long been a source of fuel for multi-Platinum selling artist, ILLY.

    The music ILLY creates today is done so with reinvigorated confidence for the craft; his 2021 record The Space Between landed as one of his most personal and artistically defining records of his career. Stories of reflection, rediscovery and growth were delivered against a backdrop of expansive sounds and textures: a representation of just how strong ILLY’s vision for his work moving forward had become.

    Recent writing sessions with DMA’S songwriter Johnny Took and Peking Duk’s Reuben Styles have birthed ‘Like You’ – the first new piece of music from ILLY to break open his forthcoming seventh studio album.

    The single, buoyed by vocal harmonies layered over a slick pairing of EDM and a driving acoustic guitar, never loses its sense of self-awareness or fun.

    Across six studio albums, fans have followed along as ILLY built a career as a formidable champion of Australian hip hop; before fortifying that early success in becoming one of Australia’s most acclaimed pop artists today.

    That crossover success established ILLY as one of Australian hip hop’s integral triumphs; along with the Hilltop Hoods, bringing the genre to widespread – and maintained – mainstream success. For ILLY, his creative evolution has seen him emerge as one of the country’s beloved performers.

    Collaborations with artists like Anne-Marie and Vera Blue brought ILLY key records that demonstrated his versatility as both vocalist, songwriter and duet partner, while also highlighting the strength as a lyricist – a natural talent to cross between genres with ease.

    " Throughout my career, [with] the risks I’ve taken, there’s been validation that it was the right thing to do. Even just being able to play songs at shows and having people tell me how deeply they connect with my music.”

    Much like acclaimed records Cinematic (2013) and Two Degrees (2016), ILLY’s new material serves as a reminder that he is the type ofartist who thrives on change and the desire to keep pushing himself into new creative places.

    “The safe thing would be to retread the same ground you’ve always been on. If I was just doing the same stuff, I wouldn’t enjoy it. I like taking risks, and I also really love the journey that comes with that.”

    The release of Cinematic proved a touchstone moment for ILLY, earning him his first ARIA nomination for the then-titled Best Urban Album; a multi-Platinum single (‘Tightrope’) and an ARIA Gold certification by year’s end.

    And then with theTwo Degrees era, ILLY expanded his influence, thanks to the multi-Platinum success of ‘Papercuts ft. Vera Blue’ and‘Catch 22 ft. Anne-Marie’. The album became ILLY’s first ARIA #1record, properly solidifying ILLY’s presence as a premier Australian pop success story.

    With the release of ‘Like You’ and the new ILLY record on the horizon, this story continues; driven by new inspirations and that pure instinct that has only seen him go from strength to strength, time will tell just how far this next era will take him.

    Rogue Traders

    Rogue Traders is an Australian electronic rock band formed in Melbourne, Victoria in 2002 by mainstay James Ash on keyboards. In 1989, Ash met fellow original member Steve Davis in London while both were working as DJs. Before forming Rogue Traders, the pair had worked together on many projects, including the dance music act Union State, which relocated to Melbourne in 1992. The group's name comes from the 1999 drama film, Rogue Trader. They were joined in 2004 by soap opera actress, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, on lead vocals, Cameron McGlinchey on drums and Tim Henwood on guitar. Davis continued as a behind-the-scenes member, contributing to the songwriting process but not making any public appearances with the group. Rogue Traders have achieved chart success in Australia, with seven top 20 hits on the ARIA Singles Chart, "One of My Kind", "Voodoo Child", "Way to Go!", "Watching You", "We're Coming Home", "Don't You Wanna Feel" and "I Never Liked You".
