The majesty of nature has inspired and nurtured humans since the dawn of time. Music created by humanity attempting to replicate nature’s sounds owes its existence to the rustling breezes blowing through the leaves and love calls from singing birds.
We owe everything to the environment, and yet, humans continue to callously undermine its health in exchange for convenience, profit and to establish oppressive dominion over beings of all varieties.

Inspirations
For me personally the most inspiring female figures have been athletes. I love football and Megan Rapinoe has spoken up on so many issues surrounding gender equality, racism and LGBTQ+ issues in and out of the game. I think Naomi Osaka is also an amazing young woman.
Supporting
I recently released a young producer called Meg Ward on my label &Friends. Her productions are super energetic and fun. A bundle of energy. Manami, AK Sports, Sally C, Effy, Maruwa.. all great DJs / producers I recommend checking out as well!
Queen Of Hearts is out now via &Friends

Friends and supporters of Kathleen Folbigg have grave concerns for her safety after she was reportedly bashed by a fellow inmate in a horrific attack within days of transferring to another jail.
The woman considered as Australia s worst female serial killer and most hated woman was jailed in 2003 for the murders of her children Patrick, Sarah and Laura - aged from eight months to 19 months - between 1991 and 1999.
She was also found guilty of the manslaughter of her first-born child, Caleb, who was just 19 days old when he died in Newcastle in 1989.
Folbigg, 53 has maintained her innocence and now has the support of dozens of scientists and medical experts who have called for her to be pardoned from her 30-year jail term.
Dozens of Australia s top scientists and doctors are demanding Kathleen Folbigg be pardoned from her 30-year jail term for killing four of her infant children.
Folbigg, 53, was jailed in 2003 for the murders of her children Patrick, Sarah and Laura - aged from eight months to 19 months - between 1991 and 1999.
She was also found guilty of the manslaughter of her first-born child, Caleb, who was just 19 days old when he died in Newcastle in 1989.
Considered Australia s worst female serial killer and most hated woman , she has maintained her innocence and launched another bid for freedom in September.
This time she is far from alone as 76 of the country s brightest minds, plus 14 from overseas, have signed a petition calling her incarceration a miscarriage of justice .
