Friday Roundup #32

One single, one album, one look BTS | 8.4.23

August 04, 2023

The focus of Arpeggio is to provide fresh, curated music as well as data & analysis of the music biz. Curated music is important because, in a world increasingly dominated by streaming companies, there are artists who deserve the spotlight.

Friday Roundup is curated with one single, one album, and one behind the scenes look into a recording artist's creative process to listen to at your leisure over the weekend. The idea is to provide frontline music and a look inside the creative process with both artists and music enthusiasts in mind. You’ll receive a roundup every first Friday.

“Never Gonna Stop” by The Regime

Exploding out of Sydney’s inner-west, The Regime is a 20+ piece funk ensemble, that’s tipping the scales firmly back the favour of fun. Dripping with raw sexual energy that’s one part James Brown and two parts Jamiroquai lavishly sprinkled with George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic, this instant party machine is an organic carnival of the senses that has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed.
