Tobiahs Announces Highly Anticipated Debut Body Of Work + Drops New Track ‘Cross Your Mind'
NEW SINGLE 'CROSS YOUR MIND' OUT TODAY
After racking up tens of millions of views and over a billion streams on his recent releases, and coming off the back of sold-out US, UK, and EU tours, Naarm-based Lebanese-Australian dance producer Tobiahs today announces his debut body of work: an 8-track project called TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1), scheduled for release on Friday 15th August 2025.
The announce lands alongside his brand-new single 'Cross Your Mind', a highly requested ID from fans since its debut at his 005 Paris show, which amassed 1M+ views within days of footage hitting socials. The track sits in a similar sphere to Tobiahs' now Platinum-certified smash hit 'Lifetime', floating between late-night reflection and elation.
For Tobiahs, connection has always come first. The producer and DJ has been building a devoted community over the past few years — one that doesn't just listen to his music but actively shapes it.
With TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1), Tobiahs flips the traditional release model on its head, handing creative direction to the people who know the music best: his fans. It's the debut in a series of fan-guided projects, with each track handpicked based on crowd demand, live reaction, and community feedback.
The project's eight tracks were born on dancefloors, in late-night YouTube rabbit holes, and through DMs with friends. Every song earned its place because of the community. These are the most requested tracks from his live set, the ones that sparked the biggest reactions live. It's a track list with history, and it's a shared one.
Alongside four brand new tracks, and today's release 'Cross Your Mind', the project includes recent massive releases from Tobiahs: 'Lifetime', which has racked up 75M+ streams and counting, saw support from Tiësto and Keinemusik, and became the #1 global trending sound on Instagram; and back-to-back 90s soul-inspired house anthems 'Alone' and 'Angel of Mine'. The latter has charted in the UK, and became a Top 20 national radio hit across AU, also receiving strong UK radio play from Capital Dance, KISS, and BBC Radio 1, including an interview with Sian Eleri.
Tobiahs' growing momentum has been matched with extensive DSP editorial support, including #1 placement on Apple Music UK's Dance XL and the cover of Massive Dance Hits. The project follows an explosive run that's seen Tobiahs clock 125M+ streams and over 58M social views in under 18 months earning him sold-out headline dates everywhere from London to Delhi to Toronto, and a debut of his new live show to over 5,000 adoring fans in Sydney and Melbourne.
Tobiahs' world is about euphoria and melancholy, energy and intimacy. His music sits at the intersection of club culture and emotional storytelling and it's this balance that's made him one of the most exciting new voices in Australian electronic music.
This project isn't just a personal milestone; it's a community artefact. TO YOU, BY US (VOL. 1) celebrates the power of direct artist-to-fan relationships. In a landscape often driven by algorithms and industry gatekeeping, Tobiahs is proving that when you stay close to your people, they'll help guide the art in the most meaningful way possible.
This isn't just his debut.
This is their record.

Soup boards are winter's messiest new food trend – will they catch on here?
The question, though, is whether this is a trend with real traction or just another fleeting social media spectacle. The rise of the board To understand the soup board, it helps to look back at its predecessors. The charcuterie board, once a preserve of French picnic culture, has been reimagined online into countless themed iterations: breakfast boards, dessert boards, nacho boards, even fry boards. The butter board, popularised on TikTok in late 2022 by creator Justine Doiron (inspired by chef Joshua McFadden), was perhaps the peak of the genre – a communal slab of softened butter swiped on to a board and topped with anything from edible flowers to za'atar to hot honey. The soup board takes that same spirit – interactive, shareable, aesthetically excessive – and applies it to a comfort-food staple, conveniently timed for the Southern Hemisphere winter. In videos tagged #soupboard and #soupcharcuterieboard, creators show off curated combinations: butternut soup with bacon bits, cheddar shards and thyme croutons; chicken tortilla soup flanked by lime wedges, jalapenos and toasted corn strips; and even multiple soups in miniature ramekins for a 'flight' format. Some boards lean into customisation, setting out a central tureen of soup and arranging toppings around it. Others offer individual bowls with themed pairings. In all cases, visual appeal is paramount. Is it practical – or just pretty? The appeal is obvious. Soup is inherently comforting, and for many people, winter cooking skews nostalgic. The board format adds a playful, DIY aspect that lends itself to small-scale entertaining – a kind of adult lunchable with flair. It also photographs beautifully, which remains a driving force behind many viral food trends. Styling with accoutrements, ie toppings, is key to the soup board trend. Photo / Babiche Martens But critics have pointed out the soup board's flaws. For one, it's messy. Hot liquid on a wooden surface, surrounded by precarious crumbs, dripping oils and sticky toppings, is a clean-up challenge waiting to happen. Wood isn't the most hygienic serving material, especially for anything involving moisture. There's also a certain impracticality to balancing multiple mini soup bowls on a single board. As Bettina Makalintal, a writer for US-based food site Eater, put it in a wry 2023 article: 'The soup board is chaos. It is an affront to the stability of soup as a concept.' She argued that many of the boards seemed designed more for social media engagement than actual enjoyment. Could the trend take hold here? In New Zealand, where winter comfort food tends to favour the humble and hearty over the performative, the soup board may seem like a step too far. But as local entertaining norms evolve – and social media continues to influence how we present food – there's space for these kinds of playful ideas to find a niche. It helps that the concept is easily adapted to what Kiwis are already cooking. A single soup – say, roasted cauliflower, pumpkin and coconut, or classic tomato – could be served with a couple of simple accompaniments: grilled cheese triangles, roasted seeds, herby croutons, flavoured olive oil. It doesn't need to be complicated to feel special. Some cafes and caterers may find more use for the idea than home cooks. Like butter boards before them, soup boards are arguably better suited to stylised settings – think grazing tables at events, or social media content for cafes looking to lean into the seasonal mood. But home cooks who enjoy putting together a bit of a spread – or entertaining without going full three-course dinner – may still find inspiration in the format. Style over substance? In the end, the soup board is probably less a revolutionary new way of eating and more a clever reframe of what many people already enjoy: warm soup with good bread and a few things to sprinkle on top. The trend's real power lies in how it makes the familiar feel a little more curated, a little more 'occasion-worthy'. And for all its potential mess and overthinking, it does remind us that even something as humble as soup can be made to feel indulgent with the right trimmings. Herald contributor Nikki Birrell has worked in food and travel publishing for nearly 20 years. From managing your kitchen to cutting costs, she's shared some helpful advice recently, including how to prep your barbecue for summer grilling, gourmet hacks for elevating budget ingredients and what toppings to choose for different crackers.

CEO resigns after viral video from Coldplay concert
The chief executive of an American IT company captured in a widely circulated video showing him embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert has resigned. Andy Byron resigned from his job as CEO of Cincinnati-based Astronomer, according to a statement posted on LinkedIn and X by the company on Saturday. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met," the company said in its post on LinkedIn. The move comes a day after the company said that Byron had been placed on leave and the board of directors had launched a formal investigation into the jumbotron incident, which went viral. The pair were captured embracing at the Coldplay concert. Image: YouTube A company spokesman later confirmed in a statement to AP that it was Byron and Astronomer chief people officer Kristin Cabot in the video. The short video clip shows Byron and Cabot as captured on the jumbotron at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, during a Coldplay concert on Wednesday. Lead singer Chris Martin asked the cameras to scan the crowd for his Jumbotron Song, when he sings a few lines about the people the camera lands on. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy," he joked. Internet sleuths identified the man as the chief executive officer of a US-based company and the woman as its chief people officer. Pete DeJoy, Astronomer's cofounder and chief product officer, has been tapped as interim CEO while the company conducts a search for Byron's successor. Most concert venues warn attendees that they can be filmed and it is common practice especially when bands like to use performances for music videos or concert films. Once captured, a moment can be shared widely. "They probably would have got away with it if they hadn't reacted," said Alison Taylor, a clinical associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. And by the time the alleged identities emerged on social media, it hit a classic nerve around "leaders acting like the rules don't apply to them", she added.
