Blending downtempo electronica, breaks and live instrumentation, new project Tony Soprano Band released their debut album Downtempo 1 on May 22 via Dune Castle.

Downtempo 1 sits at the intersection of live band interplay and downtempo electronic music.

record originates from live performance. Drums, bass, synthesizers and hardware elements were 
performed simultaneously, with no fixed arrangements or predetermined outcomes.

National Reconciliation Week 2026 runs May 27 to June 3.

This year's Reconciliation Week theme is All In. It's a call for every Australian to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, not just this week, but every single day. Reconciliation isn't something that happens on its own, and it's not the sole responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried that weight for far too long. It asks something of all of us.
