Indian Summer is now a solo act, fronted by Melbourne producer, Gabe Gleeson
he launched his own label Sweat It Out! Music Records, which signed the likes of Indian Summer, Loot & Plunder and Yolanda Be Cool
a month long stint in the US kicking off at the start of November
Sydney's sweetheart talks about her NLV Presents tour and gives you the scoop on the best new dance acts from Down Under
Melbourne duo Gabe and Chevy are dominating at the moment, with their latest track 'Shiner' hitting #1 on Hypemachine...
[V] has just premiered the clip for 'Shiner'. Tell us about it...
Before I left, I was studying graphic design, and I was in a band, and I worked two jobs, and I was Djing five nights a week – I was doing way too much with myself...
I take care of all the website, operational sort of stuff, and we both very much contribute to the DJing part of what we do
...list of influential speakers that include American electro-house artist Steve Aoki, Australian electronica duos Peking Duk and Indian Summer...
...a jackin bassline and house groove that wont quit
...a heavy-hitting slice of electro-house with dark, intense beats
A song somehow comforting in its eerie unease
an almost four minute musical journey that features an addicting melody and some seriously aggressive bass
The dulcet tones are punctured by heavy synths throughout, but Shaqdi's candied, almost childlike falsetto keep the vibes dainty and gentle.
Music: Indian Summer - Elliptical
...distorted synths and a hyped vocal sample, culminating in one club ready hit
Skittish beats underpin a welcome smattering of uptempo, new wave synths – working in (and out) of sync to instil the sense that there's organised chaos playing out as each second passes
...a serendipitous collaboration
...a beautiful, powerful track, and filled with those brillant [sic] Australian sounds that we love
...Gabe Gleeson, better known as Indian Summer, has teamed up with the LA-based vocalist Aaron Michael for a truly inspired single, 'Right At Home'...
...incorporating a sultry mix of metallic clicks, growling bass shots and spacious industrial clatter around featured vocalist Shaqdi's etherial, Grimes-esque lead
...definitely packs a knockout punch
...the man behind "Empty Soul" stays on course for outright genre reckoning, bringing that low-end savvy style to two of his nation's most eclectic staples of 2014
Australian Dreamwavers Indian Summer have souped up Polographia's 'Righteous Heat', turning it from deep ambiance to a funked up slice of SynthWave
Indian Summer's remix adds a dance element to the song we didn't even realised it needed
...Rose let us be the first to premiere the new remix of Sensibility by Melbourne's Indian Summer
A sweet, sad, club banging take on Sugar Man from Melbourne duo Indian Summer
they sent me a few videos that they liked as a style guide; they didn't want a specific storyline, just the characters
