Tame Impala's Kevin Parker: A Regional Burner

Tame Impala's Kevin Parker attended Blazing Swan, a regional burn in Western Australia, while making his album Deadbeat.

Over the past few years, rave music has infiltrated the mainstream, with pop and rap incorporating elements of jungle, drum 'n' bass, and jersey club.

The techno pivot in Tame Impala's latest album, Deadbeat, isn't a result of chasing trends, but rather a reflection of Kevin Parker's long-time connection to the dance floor as a raver.

"That idea of just endless, hypnotic music that a field full of people can tap into,"

Parker draws inspiration from "doofs," off-the-grid raves held in the wild, which is evident in his new record.
