it was three of them out of perth from 2013. it is one now. Philip Slabber has run it alone since Leon Debaughn and Liam Merrett-Park left in 2023, and he is still in fremantle.

the label is Sweat It Out, which is also where Dom Dolla and RÜFÜS DU SOL started, both further up this page. four albums, from Vera in 2017 through to Dirt Road Gold, out on 21 august 2026.

this is song-led electronic pop rather than club music, and Slabber describes wanting it to work in both places at once.

Sonically, I wanted it to feel expansive but intimate at the same time, something that could live in a club but still hit you when you're alone driving at night.
