Just finishing her sold-out national Wonderland Warehouse Project (which went off, as an attendee at the Sydney show can tell you), currently on her Rural Juror Touror (did you pick up on the30 Rockreference?), and with this new EPCalm Down, Aussie DJ, producer and musician Alison Wonderland has been damn busy.

The single ‘I Want U’ has been smashing it up online and on triple j airwaves and is bound to be one of the big tracks of the year. The next one to possibly follow is ‘Lies’. Sure, the beat is somewhat repetitive, and you’ll pick up the lyrics in no time, but it has that cool and effortless Wonderland style written all over it, so it’s good stuff. Or maybe it’ll be ‘Sugar High’, a track you can definitely get your interpretive dance moves out for.

Once, Wonderland’s fate was pulling her to become a professional cellist. Luckily for us that didn’t happen, but you can hear remnants of her past in the track ‘Space’.

If you want to be up-to-date with what’s cool in the world of music at the moment, make sure you get your hands on this EP from an artist and producer at the top of her game.

4/5.
