Need some new music to get you through this hump day? “El Galatzo” from Berlin-based Colombian artist Lucrecia Dalt is here to save the day. Embodying an extraterrestrial entity on her new album “Ay!” Futuristic and folkloric, the former geotechnical engineer has constructed a sonic adventure that spirals through time and topography.

Global Beat: Australia alum and Melbourne local Izy returns with new EP “Moon,” remixed by producer, DJ, curator, and violinist Elle Shimada. Get ready for good vibes, smooth vocals, and raw, neo-soul grooves.

We’ll also listen in on a new single from Neal Francis, “Don't Want You To Know,” chock full o’ that signature warm and fuzzy guitar sound. A new EP is due out soon.

Love Omar Apollo as much as we do? We’ve got five pairs of tickets to give away for his show at the Greek Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 1. If you haven't won anything from us in the past 90 days, enter for your chance to win. These tickets are non-transferable — good luck!
