Paige Court is the name behind Adelaide-based indietronica project, MANE.
Smooth vocals, almost of a tenor nature, juxtapose with delicate strings, and drive MANE’s dark indie pop single ‘Chasing Butterflies’, resulting in a stand-out sound that isn’t usually found in modern pop tracks.

These guys must be as high as kites at the moment, following some fantastic reviews of recent releases, ‘Golden Ticket’ and ‘Someone Who’ll Get It’.
Giving us a snippet of their pre-show rituals, Highasakite have shared with us their pre-show playlist.
Enjoy!
The Knife – ‘Silent Shout’
A masterpiece of a song, love the vintage drum-machine and synths, and the vocal effect is dope!
Purity Ring – ‘Obedear’
Like getting sucked down into a dark hole where you get a glimpse of light here and there. Love this band!
FKA Twigs – ‘Water Me’
Beautiful vocal sampling, and the video is amazing too!
Grimes – ‘Dream Fortress’
Violin from another world! So moody and beautiful.
Like The Movie – ‘Cruel Thing’
My little electronic side project. Started working with this when I produced all of the electronic drums for the new
Highasakite album.
Purity Ring – ‘Amenamy (Jon Hopkins Remix)’
Love Jon Hopkins, and Purity Ring… so, this is just perfect!
Highasakite- ‘Golden Ticket’
Our new single, felt like it could fit on this playlist!

Can´t help it, this is just so cool! Fantastic production by Skrillex and Diplo!
Gordi – ‘Can We Work It Out’
Gordi joined us on our UK tour in May, and you should check it out!!
Emilie Nicolas – ‘Pstereo’
One of the best voices from Norway, and this song must be one of the best pop songs from Norway.
Björk – ‘Hyperballad’
What to say, this is so beautiful! The mix between electronic and acoustic instruments pushing the song forward with Björk’s vocals swimming on top.
Die Antwoord – ‘Ugly Boy’
Some people hate this, we love it!
