His latest single, Throw it Away features a special guest appearance by Josh Pyke. Expect this multi-talented indie rapper to bring his patented wit and humour to the stage. Look out for 360’s Be Seated Mixtape 2 – Out soon.

Rounding out the bill is Sydney’s Skryptch. Having just released his acclaimed debut album (4-stars, MAG) The Numbers, Skrytcha brings hislove of old-school hip hop to the masses with his Triple J-added single Get Mine.
