DICE drops new single ahead of album release. Exciting news from the indie music scene! DICE, the dynamic Perth-based band, has dropped their latest single, "Call Me For A Good Time." Produced by the acclaimed Joe Chiccarelli, known for his work with The Strokes and The White Stripes, this track features the innovative sounds of Jay Watson from POND and Tame Impala, bringing a fresh layer to DICE's sonic landscape. "Call Me For A Good Time" serves as a moody anthem that resonates with the late-night vibes of afterparties. The song showcases DICE's evolving sound, moving from their typically vibrant daytime energy to a more sophisticated composition filled with driving basslines and shimmering synth textures. It perfectly captures the tension where desire merges with addiction, allowing listeners a glimpse into the allure of midnight escapades. The band describes the single as "a track of desire, addiction, and devotion." They reveal that it reflects their journey into the complexities of mid-20s life, emphasizing the importance of real connections amidst the chaos. Jay Watson's contribution adds an intoxicating swirl to the mix, creating a soundscape that embodies both ecstasy and confusion, making it an essential listen for fans of late-night explorations. "Call Me For A Good Time" precedes the release of DICE's sophomore album, I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View, which is set to launch on July 31 under Tone City Records. This new album promises to be a significant shift from their debut effort, featuring previously released singles like "Loose Change" and "COOLER." DICE has deftly transitioned towards a lighter, more euphoric sound, encapsulated in a collection of ten tracks aimed at radical self-reflection and liberation. The band, composed of Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley, and Sam Barrett-Lennard, has rapidly gained recognition not just locally but on global stages, following the success of their ARIA-charting debut. Their electrifying performances have seen them tour across major cities, including London, New York City, Toronto, and Sydney. DICE has maintained a strong presence on triple j's Most Played Artists list, resonating with audiences through their distinct songs like "Chasing Hearts" and "Hourglass."

Stock crash: find out why Zaggle Prepaid shares tanked 20% on Monday. By CNBCTV18.com August 17, 2026, 10:41:19 AM IST (Published) Shares of Zaggle Prepaid Ocean Services Ltd. were trading 20% lower on Monday, August 17, after the company reported a decline in net profit and EBITDA margins for the June quarter (Q1FY27). Zaggle Prepaid Q1FY27 results Net profit fell 33% year-on-year to ₹17.5 crore from ₹26.1 crore. Revenue increased 27.5% to ₹423 crore from ₹332 crore a year earlier. EBITDA remained broadly unchanged at ₹31 crore, while EBITDA margin declined to 7.3% from 9.2% in the year-ago quarter. The company said Propel margins improved, supported by a strong performance from Greenedge and overriding commissions received during the quarter. The incentive and cashback expense as a percentage of revenue stood at around 66.3%, improving from 69% in Q4FY26. Why margins were under pressure Zaggle said EBITDA margins were impacted by several factors, including expenses related to the acquisition of Dice, such as transaction costs, one-time vendor payments and relocation expenses for more than 100 professionals. Revenue from Dice contracts was not recognised in Q1FY27 and is expected to start reflecting from Q2FY27 onwards, the company said. Margins were also impacted by a greater proportion of expenses being recognised in the profit and loss account that were previously capitalised, employee salary increments and additional employee and other costs following the acquisition of Zagg.Money.

DICE adds first Australian festival ticketing partner with Wildlands deal. The company will serve as exclusive ticket partner for Wildlands' Perth and Brisbane events in 2026/2027, as part of an ongoing expansion push News By Ciaran Donnelly | 3 August 2026 Ticketing firm DICE has announced a deal to become the exclusive ticketing partner for Australia's Wildlands Festival in 2027, marking the first Australian festival partnership for the company. Produced by Untitled Group, Wildlands is approaching its seventh year, with organisers calling it "one of Australia's most anticipated summer festivals". Like many Australian festivals, its travelling editions take place across Perth and Brisbane over the New Year period. Last week it announced its upcoming edition would be headlined by John Summit, Ki/Ki, and Skepta. "Wildlands has become one of Australia's most anticipated summer festivals - built not just on its lineup, but on a loyal community that returns year after year. An independent Australian festival at its core, Wildlands is known for world-class music and has earned a reputation for experiences that feel genuinely connected to the people who show up for them," DICE said. For DICE, the tie-up becomes an early addition to its push to launch in multiple new markets, which the company said in June would see it target Australia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Mexico. "Australia has one of the most passionate live music audiences in the world, and Wildlands reflects that energy" The push comes a year on from DICE's acquisition by Fever, which the company said would aim to build the "world's leading independent live entertainment tech platform" while maintaining separate brands for the two firms. "Wildlands has always been about more than the music - it's about the connections people make and the moments that stay with them long after. We're obsessive about every part of that experience, and ticketing is no exception. DICE gets that - and that's exactly why we wanted them involved." said Courtney Tahar, Untitled Group's head of ticketing. DICE CCO Andrew Foggin added that "Australia has one of the most passionate live music audiences in the world, and Wildlands reflects that energy". "Partnering with Untitled Group on this is a big moment for DICE, and we're looking forward to connecting their fanbase through our platform," Foggin said.
