I want the bouncy ball and the Yo Yo


Guess who's back... back again.. Coupons back.. Tell a friend..

These guys have some mad skillz. We've spoken about them before on Groove City before. For those who don't know, Brent and Stu make some gorgeous synth sounds and coupled with their intense desire for success and the ensuing riches of women and remix work proceed to pump out quality remixes and originals on the regular.

This time they've tackled Yaesayer's tune One. It's really good.

They've also made a fantastic new original track, 'driving to your house party'. It's already been given the tick of approval by the likes of Aeroplane and as you can read over at Stoney Roads it's a pretty intense 116bpm track packed full of vintage synthesisers and an aweosome percussion break down which they've accurately described as being fitting for an 80s detective show. Think moustaches, handcuffs, big hair and flairs. I really haven't thought about flairs for a while and I'm glad I haven't. Hadn't. Oh darn.

Food Stamps


For a while now the smooth musical stylings of Coupons have kept me awake at night. In a city packed to the brim with quality producers, they've avoided taking the popular path in terms of their style and instead have done what's come natural to them which in a word can be described as hybrid. It's a little bit erectro, a touch techno, a dash of pan synths and a healthy portion of chill wave in a style they've effectively trade marked as Dream Rave.

In their relatively short history, Coupons have made a bunch of quality remixes and some delightful originals, with their biggest accolade so far coming with their victory in Royksopp remix competition last year. By winning the Oceanic leg of this international competition they cemented their future as "ones to watch" within Sydney town.

At the moment, they're in the final stages of recording their EP, which they describe as DreamRave - a post summer chill disco Epic. The EP will be 5 tracks and accompanied by an intense remix package from some very exciting names they assure me.
