Ahead of her visit down under, Sam chats with and dives into the music of Italian, London-based percussionist, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti, known for her work with groups including Vanishing Twin, Holy Tongue and Moin. Listen back to hear them discuss her countless new releases and collaborations across projects, her distinctive drumming style and her approaches to songwriting and performing.

'I am my job... I hardly do anything else. Even if I'm not in the studio and I'm not travelling...I'm listening to music, I'm collecting records. The whole of my existence is making music and is around music. It's just the way it is to be honest.'

You can catch Valentina in Melbourne with Moin at The Night Cat on 10 July, as well as in Adelaide for Unsound Festival on 11-12 July.

Tickets can be found for The Night Cat here, and Unsound here.
