The ABC’s youth-focused radio station Triple J is under scrutiny after its annual Hottest 100 countdown featured just 29 Australian artists; this compares with 52 last year. The head of Triple J, Lachlan Macara, says Australian music discoverability is an issue, which has been exacerbated by the growing use of streaming music platforms. Local artists account for just 9.2 per cent of songs that are streamed in Australia, and Tim Kelly from the University of Technology Sydney notes that streaming platforms’ playlists are determined by algorithms rather than radio station programmers.

Client Liaison – Australia’s favourite retro 80s revivalist funk rockers – have ‘done it again’ with new hit ‘The Beat Supreme’ shot entirely on location at Haoma’s Bamboo Creek Mine in the remote Pilbara region near Marble Bar, WA. Client Liaison’s irreverent lead singer Monte Morgan clearly discovered gold on his trip to Bamboo Creek and dances ‘The Beat Supreme’ away in remote desert landscapes, over-sized mining trucks and the Bamboo Creek Mill processing ‘gold bearing’ ore with musical partner Harvey Miller. ‘The Beat Supreme’ is set to shoot to Number 1 on the local Australian charts in the coming weeks; however, only Warner Music and Spotify can answer the question:- Will ‘The Beat Supreme’ be available on US Spotify so it can make US charts Number 1? Tickets are selling fast for Client Liaison’s October-November Australian tour. Register for the latest news and updates – as well as buy tickets – for Client Liaison at http://www.clientliaison.com.

Aussie synth popstars Client Liaison performed to a crowd of over 3,000 dedicated fans at Melbourne’s Flemington race course on Saturday night with a special performance by "Whispering Jack" John Farnham adding to the occasion. Farnham brought the house down with his favourites Pressure Down, Age of Reason and You’re The Voice but the real stars of the show were Client Liaison lead singer Monte Morgan and keyboardist Harvey Miller. Morgan was dressed in a see-through blue raincoat as the band and the thousands of fans braved a wild night of wind and rain in Melbourne to put on a spectacular performance featuring red flames mixed with scantily clad dancers. Client Liaison closed out the set with their disco hit Off White Limousine. Client Liaison now travels with "Farnsey" up north for shows this weekend in Sydney (Saturday August 25) and Brisbane (Sunday August 26). Contact Roy Morgan for discounted tickets for the two shows.
