Deer is Tom Hitchcock, a Melbourne-based producer whose musical trajectory we’ve been keeping a close eye on for a little while now, and for good reason this guy id definitely a quiet achiever, having released music via Aussie label Pilerats and NYC’s taste making collective Mishka.

As well as dropping a string of impressive jersey club infumenced dance gems, he’s shared stages with the likes of Shlohmo and Alison Wonderland, Djemba Djemba, Trippy Turtle, DJ Hoodboi and Ryan Hemsworth just to name drop a few.

Deer now has a new single to celebrate, titled ‘Cry For Help’ it sees the talented producer straddle the intersection of futuristic bass, trap and bounce effortlessly. The most exciting thing is it’s just teaser of what to expect in the not too distant future, with a highly- anticipated collaboration with fellow Melbournian Martin King set for release in 2015. Check out ‘Cry For Help’ below and if you like what you’re hearing be sure to visit Deer’s Facebook page for more info on upcoming shows.
