• It’s your midweek edition of The Purge and ‘Been There Done That’ is the latest single for Swedish production duo NOTD. The boys rose to prominence earlier this year via their top 20 hit ‘I Wanna Know’; that track now double platinum certified in Australia, according to their label Universal. They haven’t had to look too far for the vocalist on the new track, however… Swedish pop starlet Tove Styrke providing those. And while the single dropped digitally back at the end of August, it’s only now that it’s been given a release to media.

Among the other tracks are the new Charli XCX/Troye Sivan single ‘1999’, Halsey’s ‘Without Me’, the new Jonas Blue track ‘Polaroid’ and Anderson Paak’s ‘Tints’.
