The bells of Christmas are chiming in Adelaide and everyone is gearing up to get down over the ‘break’. The scene has been brimming with new and exciting music and happenings both here and abroad; it’s been fun and exciting and I have lots to tell you so buckle in and please pay attention to the pre flight announcements. For those of you who know me personally you’ll understand my frustrations when it comes to breaks acts, or for that matter, acts in general missing in Adelaide. I’m not entirely sure why this is as I don’t go out as much as I used to. Sure I can blame Skrillex all I want but at the end of the day it really isn’t his fault... is it?
Hello December, where did you suddenly come from? I always picture you as a distant month that is always just out of reach… but then ‘BAM’ you come out of nowhere and slap me in the face like a wet fish and say “Helloooo, would you like to drink outside, spend lots of money on Christmas presents and enjoy more company with friends and family?”
The brand new Hilltop Hoods and Sia single, I Love It, was exclusively launched on Triple J's Morning Show today, and, of course, someone recorded it and posted it on YouTube.
One of the talented MCs from the Pagen Elypsis crew, Prime, has just dropped his debut solo album Good Morning for free via his website. The 18-track album from the Adelaide MC features the single Restore My Faith, as well as production from Mules, One Above, M-Phazes, Purpose, Cam Bluff and Answer. Oh, and Good Morning proves the best things in life are free as this is really fucking good.
To celebrate Vinnie Paz and his Jedi Mind Tricks crew's upcoming tour of Australia, local turntablist DJ Sanchez has busted out a tour mix of 100 percent Jedi Mind Tricks productions, which you can download for free (if you ‘re one of the first 100 to download that is – so get in quick!).
"We worked in this amazing studio at the top of this tower, it was just majestic."
