LA/Australian electro-rock conspirators Jump Jump Dance Dance are a two-man outfit, comprising of DJ/Vocalist extraordinaire Chris Carter and Uber DJ/Producer Simon Lewicki. The pair have hooked Australian label and are now set to release their debut single and album.
The Jump Jump Dance Dance duo first united over a shared love of synthesizers, Australian culture and sweaty dance floors, before merging their talents to explore and tweak the happy medium between dance and rock music.
Check out the video for the band’s first single Show Me The Night, which has just been added on high rotation to Triple J. It’s due for release late March.

Magichour Launch Debut Album

Ex-Cactus Children launch their debut this Valentines Day
Magichour, the self-titled debut release from acclaimed songwriting duo, Sydney-based Ian Housten Shadwell and Gemma Deacon, is an intricate tapestry of sounds wrapped into dreamy pop songs. Gemma and Ian are best known as the songwriting team behind iconic Sydney acoustic pop classicists, Cactus Child, the ensemble that played its part in the acoustic revival in the mid nineties. Darlings of the local music scene, they gained national airplay and toured extensively, playing festivals and supporting international acts including Blur and the late Jeff Buckley. Five years, three albums and close to a thousand gigs later, the band called it a day.
Fast-forward ten years and these two creative forces are back under the guise of Magichour - 11 luscious songs - a warm, gentle, vigorous thing of beauty. This is an album invested with the multi-layered folk and pop sensibilities that structured their earlier work, but with a new sense of space and atmospherics. It is cinematic, ambient and widescreen, with a haunting luster, saturated throughout with the delight of Gemma's magical voice, too long absent from the Australian music scene.
Quite simply - it was well worth waiting ten years. See their revival this Valentines Day as the duo launch their self-titled LP at the gorgeous Clovelly Bowling Club in Sydney on Valentine's Day at 7 pm.
Listen to a few tracks from the Magichour album here.
