We’ll say it outright: as mood builders go, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one all year. Ausländer – the team-up between Wax’o Paradiso resident Andy Hart, springtime Upfront MVP Fantastic Man and “Melbourne’s number one partyboy” Tom Lally – have gone one further than most in the self-promo game, grouping three eponymous tracks for a release on Hart’s own Voyage. This “First Contact” version is the outlier, but in its bid to eschew the floor, it winds up squarely in the centre.

No kicks to speak of, but with chiming tones, liquid rhythm and a sort of Rainbow Road-redolent SFX palate, it is pleasingly malleable — we’ve tried a few times already, and this sidles up comfortably next to most things in sets. Expect to hear it warming up a dance near you soon.

VYG04 is out October 19th – & you definitely should grip the vinyl for that glorious cover art.
