House | You Need To Hear Anna Lunoe’s New “Radioactive” Single

Posted by on September 15, 2016

Last year, I paid a visit to Kingdom in Austin, TX. Anna Lunoe was headlining her Hyper House tour, and I discovered her music a week before via DJ Mag’s live stream of her tasteful set at CRSSD in San Diego. Although I suspected it was another carefully crafted female DJ gimmick cash grab, I thought I’d give the show a shot. I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was blown away. The mixing that night was on point, and every song translated in the storied Austin venue that night. I left with my ears (partially blown out) and a new appreciation for Anna Lunoe’s DJ acumen and her music.

Ever since, I’ve kept an eye out for the Australian DJ, vocalist, songwriter and producer, peeping her sets on 1001Tracklists.com leading up to the release of her brand new “Radioactive” single that’s nothing short of a massive tune. She’s been teasing it for months and it’s finally here courtesy of OWSLA. It’s already getting love from the likes of Major Lazer, TroyBoi, and Zane Lowe. Well deserved, as we’ll have this tune on repeat all weekend long.

Grab the single on iTunes here.

Anna Lunoe is the real deal.

Come Friday, June 10th, Spring Awakening Music Festival (SAMF) will be celebrating its five-year anniversary by throwing a 3-day party with a hefty lineup of artists. In addition to an impressive bill of performers, SAMF has recently revealed the layout of the new festival grounds, which look equally impressive. The festival contains 2 gorgeous stages, 2 tent structures and a silent disco. In years prior the festival took place at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears… however, for the first time, SAMF will take place at Addams/Medill Park, which is a short 3 miles west of the old venue. The new location and festival grounds allow for more accommodations and a more maneuverable landscape for attendees… an idea that excites us all.

Before moving out to California three months ago, I didn’t know much about Desert Hearts. I would see the festival’s name pop up time after time in blogs and Facebook posts, and I became intrigued by the colorful photos and people that caught my attention. I remember sitting at home in the middle-of-nowhere, Pennsylvania, scrolling through photos of the festival, and fantasizing about what it would be like to be in this vibrant scene all dressed in silly clothes with happy-looking humans. Not long after my move to California, an opportunity arose for me to attend the festival; I couldn’t refuse it. The time had finally come for me to find out what Desert Hearts was all about.
