NEW MUSIC: 'PRAISE'

Today I give you my first release for 2017, 'Praise'.

Even though I'm not religious, I still appreciate gospel music. I draw a lot of inspiration from it and I wanted to explore what those harmonies would sound like blended in with electronic music and a touch of my Iraqi percussion (which is my heritage), the result was 'Praise'.

The release is once again with my Australian label & family, Sweat It Out Music!, and includes the club ready Extended Edit of 'Praise', and B-Side 'Fire Burning'. 
 

MOTEZ ANNOUNCED TO PLAY CURVE BALL 2017

Announcing my first festival of 2017, Curve Ball. I am pumped to be bringing a new show and so much new music to Sydney's Carriageworks on June 1 as a part of Vivid Live! The lineup is stacked with so much homegrown talent too! Tickets go on sale midday 30 March HERE! 

MOTEZ: AMERICA + CANADA + MEXICO 2017 WINTER TOUR

America, Canada & Mexico, I'm coming back this winter, including Holy Ship and my first show in Mexico City at Club Social Rhodesia. I'll also be returning to Brooklyn for the first time in awhile playing House Of Yes. Head to the dance floor; lets keep warm! 

NEW MUSIC: FLIGHT FACILITIES 'SUNSHINE' (MOTEZ REMIX)

I've been sitting on this baby for a while now, waiting for the right time to share. After remixing 'Clare de Lune' back in 2014, I had to come back for another swing at my buddies Flight Facilities, taking on the Reggie Watts infused track, 'Sunshine'. It's always summer somewhere; I hope you enjoy. - Tez.x


NYE FESTIVALS

Jumping back on the Australian festival circuit at the end of this year, playing Lost Paradise just outside of Sydney and Beyond The Valley near Melbourne. This is my second trip back to the valley for BTV, and my first time playing Lost Paradise; I've head heaps of beautiful things about the new festival. For all my shows I'll be brining my new live setup and a bunch of new music and remixes. I have a few more shows to see out 2016 being announced very soon...

See you there!x

THE VIBE FEAT. SCRUFIZZER: OFFICAL VIDEO

I am excited to reveal the music video for my latest single 'The Vibe' feat Scrufizzer. The video delves into the world of colourful characters at Atlanta’s Furry Weekend. Thick with fuzzy mischief it examines a place where ravers can literally be animals. The video was Directed by filmmaker and documentarian Jay Buim of Pomp&Cloud NYC, the creative behind Future Islands’ Seasons clip.

MOTEZ DROPS NEW SINGLE FT. TKAY MAIDZA

Towards the end of last year, Tkay Maidza and I got together in a local Adelaide studio and worked on some new gear. No agenda or goal; just laying some top-lines over a few beats I had worked on and seeing what we could come up with. Since then I've been working on this one between touring and holidays, and finally got to that finish mark. I'm stoked to be able to finally share it with you 'Down Like This' featuring the vocals of Tkay. This is the first track off my up coming EP due for release later this year. 'Down Like This' will be available via Sweat It Out Music on February 19. Xx

I've just added four more Australian shows to the Cross Pollination Tour, taking me through until December. These will be some my final Australian show's until 2016...Thanks to everyone from across North America and Australian for coming down and getting sweaty on the club floors and festival fields - it's been huge...

MOTEZ' OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE REMIX IS NOW LIVE

I've been holding this one close for awhile now, so I'm stoked to be able to finally share it with you. My official remix of Disclosures collaboration with Sam Smith, 'Omen'. It was a the second single from their new album that just dropped, and a track that gave me tasteful, body moving chords and stunning Sam Smith vocals to play with. Big love to Guy & Howard for choosing me to place my touch on what is an already beautiful track. Can't wait to drop this one on the dance floor! xx 
 

MOTEZ ANNOUNCES HUGE 'CROSS POLLINATION TOUR'

BOOM! Just like that I'm out of the studio and back on the road, with 16-plus shows across Australia, America and Fiji and even more to be announced, this tour is going to be massive! Kicking off in Atlanta I will see TomorrowWorld for the first time, followed by Beyond Wonderland in San Fran and a stopover in Detroit. For my first round back in Australia you can catch me in Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, before I head back to North America for Hard Day of the Dead in LA, and a slew of shows in Seattle, Calgary, Dallas and more! The back end of the tour will see me play Sydney's Chinese Laundry, before relaxing along the glistening shores of Fiji for Your Paradise. Come sweat up those dance floors! I got some new tunes to test out as well! 
 

MOTEZ REMIXES FUTURE CLASSIC'S INDIE OUTFIT, PANAMA

With constant studio time back home in Adelaide and a little bit too much FIFA15, I think it's about time I share my latest remix, this time of Sydney duo PANAMA, and their new single, Jungle. Signed to Future Classic, these guys have delivered a warm, upbeat and ambient track that gives so much to work with, especially with the wholesome vocal chords of Jarrahs. Sweet bliss. I hope you guys vibe xx 
 

PREMIER: 'TRYNA SHAKE IT'

'Tryna Shake It' is live! After Annie Mac dropped it into her show on Friday night for the cheeky worldwide premier and today seeing it spread online by the Dancing Astronaut legends, it's safe to say I'm pretty stoked to finally have some new music out for you! 'Tryna Shake It' is the first of two tracks off my forthcoming VANCOUVER EP, one I have been slaving over for some time now, so I'm buzzing to receive support from the bros ODESZA, Disclosure and Destructo. Maybe you caught it being spun on triple j this week or if you're in the UK it hit Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show; otherwise for everyone else kick to my SoundCloud to stream it in all of its freshness. Thanks for sticking by... the second track is coming very soon! - Tez xx

NTH AMERICA 'VANCOUVER' EP TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

It has been pretty damn long since I have dropped some original material on you guys, and with my 'Vancouver' EP due on the 29th of May, it's time to get some tour dates out! North America you're up first - including an appearance at EDC Las Vegas! More dates to be added soon as well, so keep your eyes peeled!
And for all my Australia friends, don't forget that I'm joining Alison Wonderland on her epic Warehouse tour! Can't wait to get you all dancing! - Tez xx
 

MOTEZ JOINS THE ALISON WONDERLAND WAREHOUSE PROJECT 2.0

Things are starting to heat up after easing into 2015, with a lot of time between the coffee shop, home and the studio! I'm excited; I've got some new music not far away (seriously close) and with that a heap of shows to announce shortly too. The first is my support alongside Alison Wonderland on her Warehouse Project 2.0.

Alison has been killing in over in the US and last year the first round of these warehouse parties went off, so I'm stoked to be apart of it in May & June across Australia - in secret warehouse' as well - what a vibe!

WIN A STUDIO SESSION WITH MOTEZ

Super excited to be teaming up with Stoney Roads and the Australian Institute of Music to offer two budding producers the opportunity to work with me in a sweaty studio session this April.

AIM will be offering one enrolled and one non-enrolled student a chance to submit their demo to me for a studio session and hopefully a sweet collaboration to come from it! Last year my buddy Kilter took part and they came out with some absolute gold!

Don't let anything hold you back and if there's any house heads out there, get at me!!! I want to hear your work! Kick to the Stoney Roads page HERE to enter! Closing on the 25th of March, 2015. 

MOTEZ REMIXES SAM SMITH 'LEAVE YOUR LOVER'

Kicking off the year with a remix of Sam Smith's 'Leave Your Lover'. It's such a gorgeous track that I instantly fell in love with and I just couldn't help myself to give it rework. It's easy working with a voice as good as Sam's.Hope you enjoy. xx
