Delivering a wealth of standout productions, the boston Switch sound is dance floor confronting and a true indication of his tech and bass house tenacity. Releasing on Jendex Records, Crookwell and recently on Dirty Dog with the single ‘Summer Sun’, Blake’s tempered sonic spotlight has proven worthy of tastemakers globally. 2020’s release ‘Let Me Know’ tapped just under 100k streams in a little over a month, while his collaboration ‘Better Alone’ with Ash Pluggy has attracted over 180k plays on Spotify and over 200k on YouTube. In between studio sessions and surfing with the Cw Surfboards team, Boston Switch’s mixtapes set the house scene ablaze, with Switch Tapes and Boston & Bros featuring 30 min guest mixes from fellow industry pioneers.
No stranger to the festival circuit, Boston Switch’s highly trimmed bass house cuts and signature tech house hues have been a favourite of many for some time, both as an artist and organiser for regional Western Australia’s Electric Button Events. From Factory Festival, Stereosonic, Southbound, Enchanted Gardens and Future Music Festival across Australia to Thailand’s Fishbowl and Greek Islands Far Out Beach Club, Altbar and Escobar, Blake’s searing catalogue of spawning crowd heaters have set alight crowds across the seas. Commanding attention globally with his mastery from the studio to the stage, it’s a true testament to the Boston Switch signature sound.

JADE RICH
2024-05-25 21:00 - 23:30
MARGARET RIVER – MAY 25 – SETTLERS TAVERN
W/ SPECIAL GUEST KEELEY CONNOLLY
FREE ENTRY. DOORS 9pm / MUSIC 9.30pm
West Australian singer-songwriter Jade Rich is back with a brand new single titled “13”, a hook-heavy pop song signifying a transformative moment in her musical journey.
“13” follows the widespread support of previous release “Polite” (August 2023) which found its place on Spotify’s coveted ‘Fresh Finds Pop’ Playlist, garnered over 18K streams, accolades from respected music media moguls Pilerats and Backseat Mafia, and a near sold-out live launch in her hometown of Perth.
Co-written and co-produced in collaboration with songwriter Reece Lenzo (Call Me Karizma, 44phantom, CHEZ), and mixed and mastered by Gareth Thompson (Wallace, Tyde Levi), new single ’13’ delves into themes of young love and nostalgia, reminiscing on early adventures with a crush that brought solace during a difficult time, encapsulating a feeling of freedom that comes with being thirteen.
“I hit a rough patch, making decisions based on my reckless mindset. The urge to escape was strong.” says Jade.
“I found comfort in friendship. The adventures we had, the memories we made, the loving support I received; it made everything feel better. Enjoying the simple things, like mini road trips, beach sunsets, rock jumping, ocean swims, lazy mornings, and late movie nights, made me feel free and young. It was like being thirteen again, sitting with a crush on Scarborough Beach, watching the sunset.”
Jade invites the listener into her world in a more intimate way than ever before, offering insights akin to those appreciated in artists like Holly Humberstone, coupled with the pop grooves of her inspirations like Griff & the soulful resonance of Renee Rapp.
Jade Rich’s dynamic presence extends beyond the studio, as she has graced the stages alongside prominent West Australian acts such as Jordy Maxwell, Coterie, Supathick, Teischa, Death By Denim, and Riley Pearce, and in her first 12 months has played live at festivals including FIFA Fan Festival Perth and WAM’s Scarbs Beach Party, solidifying her status as a rising star in the Australian music scene.
To celebrate the release of “13,” Jade Rich will embark on a tour across Western Australia’s South West, accompanied by her full band and a lineup of special supports yet to be announced.
‘13’ will be out on all platforms on Friday, April 26.
“Influences are spot on here! JADE RICH’s vocals are crystal clear in ‘Polite’ i loveeee” – Anika Luna, triple j
“Felt a real Odette energy with this one! your voice paired with a tender jazzy moment like this is a match made in heaven.” – Abby Butler, triple j

“Rich’s striking, layered vocals float ethereally above the mix, pulling the listener in.” – Will Backler, Pilerats
