Southlight brings back 80s synth with a modern twist
AUSTRALIAN electronic music duo Southlight feature this week in the Star Observer music section, with their new track You + I slated for release next week.
Described as a cross between Cut Copy and George Michael, You + I features melodic moving bass lines, 80s synth chords, funk guitars and guest vocalist Nathan Mahon.
Both Mahon and Southlight have performed in recent Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebrations.
On Wednesday, April 29, they will hold a launch party at Sydney’s Polo Lounge at the Oxford Hotel, where a live performance of the song will take place.

Ohhh thanks Shane!
Ive been singing manhattan transfer and boney m songs karaoke for years and have gone unnoticed!
Without even googling I could name several gay artists you bastards ignore. Because Dolly Diamond wears a dress and Scott Anderson has muscles. You are a joke and you will remain that.
LOL. “Gay press” = kissing ass to the straight majority to get noticed so you can get better jobs. You don’t represent gay people. You represent drag queens, DJs and nightclubs. You’re a fucking joke. And it won’t be forgotten.
Dude chill. If you don’t like it, stop ruining other peoples enjoyment of the page and bugger off.
Yay a man in a dress. Wow Dolly Diamond, butchering cover songs, again. Wow a fat man in leather. How sexy. Lol
Yeah sure they are. LOL. You’re about as gay representational as the Liberal Party.
Hi Brad. Drop the anger. I’m 1/2 of Southlight and as gay as a unicorn’s fart. Or at least that’s what my husband of 17 years tells me!
You’re lucky. Don’t know what you did to get attention but this “newspaper” has been ignoring gay artists for years. So good for you, but the gay community is a dead end – as is this paper.
Shame – you could support gay artists. Plenty out there, as you know, but since you pretend you don’t, a quick Google search would help
Thanks for your feedback. These performers are part of the gay community.
