22 September 2014 | 11:32 pm | Hannah Galvin

We're looking for new recruits here at Purple Sneakers HQ. Apply within.

What are your thoughts on club music? Perhaps you've browsed through reviews on our site and exclaimed, "Hey! That's exactly what I thought when I heard that too!" Well it's time to voice that opinion online, as the Purple Sneakers family are looking for new sub-editors!

Being one of the country's most prominent niche music blogs, our mission here at Purple Sneakers is to source and feature what we like to call "emerging club music" from across the globe, without being conventionally "dance" music specific.

Alongside the blog we also host a weekly radio program on Australian digital radio station FBi Click + present club shows, put on special events and play sets at festivals around the country as Purple Sneakers DJs.

So who exactly are we looking for to fill the role of a Purple Sneakers sub-editor?

  • You have an insatiable hunger for discovering new music
  • You're a regular live music attendee
  • You're in the know of what's happening in the world of music news
  • You have excellent written communication skills
  • Can work both in a team and independently
  • Are studying a relevant music/digital/communications/media degree (though not essential)
  • You're a 10/10 top gal/bloke

The ideal candidate would be available to work one full day a week in our online content department. Here you will be writing, drafting and proof-reading articles, as well as manning our social media platforms and liaising with management and publicity. Although the position is unpaid, it's extremely fun (trust me), and means that you'll have endless opportunities of interviewing artists & industry heroes, receive media passes to gigs and festivals and be able to nab advanced album releases.

All of this whilst operating the blog from behind the scenes which in turn will see you build your own port folio and the gain the industry experience that money simply cannot buy.

For those interested, email editor@purplesneakers.com.au with the subject reading, "Sub-editor Application". Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you'd suit the position, as well as attaching your CV and a few examples of your work.

We're super nice people and get really excited when our family expands, so don't be afraid to get on board!
