Continuing to pave the way for Australia’s flourishing electronic music scene is Melbourne producer ROLAND TINGS, who returns with his fireball new single “ONE HUNDRED”, premiered last night on triple j’s Good Nights and out today on Sony/Cascine.
Lending his vocals to the track is rising New Zealand artist HIGH HØØPS. His soulful delivery floating above ROLAND’S signature sound of swirling multicoloured synthscapes. The track builds towards a final acid house influenced climax, a nod to Tings’ origins in the late night basement clubs of Melbourne.

“This song came about following a move from the city to the coast. I spent summer driving around winding cliffs and swimming in the ocean and wanted to create something true to the sounds and smells of the coast, something with a more organic feel that what I’ve worked on before. When i heard a DJ in Auckland play a song by HIGH HØØPS i immediately knew that he was the right fit for what i had in mind. We got in touch and the track came together effortlessly.”

The track arrives with candied illustration courtesy of New York-via-Melbourne creatives Tin&ED (i-D, The Creators Project, The Creative Review), who lend their curious spirit to create the bold and bright visual.
“ONE HUNDRED” follows on from Tings’ Each Moment A Diamond EP, released earlier this year. Premiering on Hype Machine, Each Moment A Diamond boasted a compilation of TINGS‘ ever-growing sound, featuring singles “Higher Ground” (feat. Nylo), “Garden Piano” and “Slow Centre”. The six-tracker received unanimous worldwide acclaim and took him across the country with special guests including Fishing, Lower Spectrum, Willaris.K, Venus II and TEES for a string of live headline shows in Australia and New Zealand.
ROLAND TINGS will soon head to Perth to play Geisha Club as part of his national DJ tour, before crossing back to perform shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and wrapping in the Central Coast. Don’t miss your chance to see Roland Tings live this summer as “ONE HUNDDRED” becomes the latest addition to his eclectic set list.
