Two of Adelaide's most exciting artists, jagged iris (Jack Stokes of Daybed Records) and Junk Harmony (Tom Matheson of Swirl Records), have teamed up for new mixtape Hyperbeam Laser Disc 1., a sonically liberating collection of songs featuring a host of awesome local SA acts.

After crossing paths at a show in Macclesfield on New Year's night, Stokes and Matheson began discussing the idea of working together, leading to the creation of Hyperbeam Laser Disc 1.

Excited to put the spotlight on the local SA music scene, the project features contributions from a host of awesome artists and creatives, including Finn Cameron (Colourblind), Anita Vucic (blush), Bindi McCallum (Kurralta Park), Cooper and Ruben ( The 745) and Liam Anderson (Chrome Cage/Sports Car), Colby Robertson (Cult Nonsense/Siamese), alongside Stokes and Matheson.

Described as "an assorted show bag of songs", the 11-track mixtape is led by Junk Harmony's opening track, 'Without You Now', a three-minute sci-fi guitar rocker that includes mixing from Colby Robertson and mastering from Richard Bowers.

The track is accompanied by a music video shot by local filmmaker Conor Mercury with assistance from Fraser Whitehead. Check it out above.

Hyperbeam Laser Disc 1. is out now via Swirl and Daybed Records. Listen/buy a copy here.
