All in Release of the Week
Four of Australian hip/hop’s fastest rising talent have joined forces for this week’s release. “A.S.M.R” features the unholy combination of Sydney’s fastest rising rappers, being Nerve, Raj Mahal and Triple One’s Obi III Terrors and Marty Bugatti.
This week’s mix comes from two young DJ’s who seem to have defied all odds and actually gained momentum in Sydney’s struggling clubbing scene. Peter Semrany and Andrea Calogero, also known as HIJCKD & SEMO, started their careers in the post-lockout era and have since found themselves travelling the world to hone their craft.
Graeme Pogson and Ella Thompson are GL, a Melbourne based electronic duo who haven’t had a release since their 2017 double A-sided 12” Destiny/Reflect. That was until the release of “Night Habit” last week, marking the long-awaited return of GL. The single also marks their first headline show in over two years at Howler in Melbourne on Friday October, 18.
Melbourne producer Illstrtd has teamed up with Afro-Aus artist Françoistunes have combined their love of soul with their electronic and hip/hop backgrounds. The result is “Real Love”, a bright, impassioned and groovy track that expertly mixes and melds a variety of genres.
The Australian hip/hop scene is entering a new era as a wave of talent is rising through the scene. This includes artists like Nerve, Triple One and most significantly, Chillinit. Raised in Hurstville, Sydney, Chillinit has no major industry backing, but instead produces and distributes his music independently through his own 420 Family label.
The music of The Teskey Brothers is a soulful throwback to a lost sound. Their music would fit in a century ago, but it doesn’t feel outdated. Over a decade ago, brothers Sam, on guitar, and Josh Teskey, on vocals, teamed up with childhood friends and long-time jamming buddies Brendon Love, on bass, and Liam Gough, on drums.
One of Sydney’s easiest to listen to bands is Polish Club. However, they often reject being labelled under the genre of rock, despite being a two-piece rock band. Their debut album, Alright Already, a fast, energetic and loud explosion of sweaty garage rock, was driven by the dumb fun that the two band members had cutting it in just eight days.
Kristy Lee Peters, aka KLP, is a DJ with a nine-year history within the Sydney music scene. After a successful five-year run hosting triple j’s House Party, every Saturday night, she has taken a step back in 2019 to focus on her music.
