Remember World’s End Press? It’s been too long since we’ve heard something new from these guys. After releasing two singles, “Only The Brave” and “Golden Child”, along with the EP “Faithful” back in 2010, Melbourne’s World’s End Press return with their new single, “Second Day Uptown”, which was produced by Dan Whitford of Cut Copy. A infectious catchy song about “living in the city, assimilating and forgetting who you used to be.” Keep an eye out for their debut album due out later this year.
The single drops “Second Day Uptown” on April 30th via Liberation Music.

La.Ga.Sta. offered its services to many weary travellers once more this year. By “following rivers” they drove “through the green” and found themselves in “English Riviera” only to come back again to our station for another refill.
Taking a Friday drive down this year’s memory lane, we think back on our numerous stops including among others:
Our after-hours, absolutely wicked dj set in the VIP room of Melt! Festival. We might have missed Cut Copy’s performance but we certainly had a blast. Shout out to T.E.E.D., Azari & III, Metronomy, Siriusmo, and Planningtorock for their stunning gigs.
The 15-track La.Ga.Sta. Summer Compilation 2011 with lots of exclusives released in August and downloaded by more than 15.000 vroomers in less than a month. Thank you guys!
Dancing ‘till we dropped with the Can You Relate? team at their super cool parties in Thessaloniki together with The Magician, Shit Robot, Villa, Moullinex, In Flagranti, Acid Washed, and Stopmakingme.
A huge thanks coming out to all of you who filled up our inbox with tons of tunes and mixes, wish we could post them all. Keep them coming.
It’s always such a great pleasure sharing sounds, words and feelings with all the people we love. We don’t really like making lists since we always forget to include everything we loved through the year. But, by popular demand, our pit stop crew tried to bring the Best of 2011 lists (albums, tracks, remixes, EP’s, video) based on what we played most on our car stereo. It was certainly an amazing year with great releases that gave this station the “gas” it needed to carry on driving. Check out our lists below in no particular order. We don’t have winners or losers in this race only drivers that finally make it to the finish line.
This is the 2011 sound of La.Ga.Sta. Vroooommm!

Cut Copy’s bassist Ben Browning dropped today his solo single “I Can’t Stay” on Cutters Records. A catchy, summery tune, which “opens with an almost calypso guitar lead, before opening up into bouncing bass driven club-pop”. The single comes with two energetic remixes by Cutters’ own Knightlife and DFA’s Juan Maclean. “I Can’t Stay” is the first taste from Browning’s forthcoming EP, expected to be released early next year. Fill it up!
