Ribongia – Play My Hits

19 04 2013

Ribongias (Antonio Rosselli) music is an exploded technical drawing for the ears. Referencing a vast array of pop culture mediums, his sounds are collected and layered until, like light fragmenting through a crystal prism, they enter the aural sphere; chaos ensues.

Play My Hits Ribongia

The lead single off of Ribongia’s EP of the same name Play My Hits sees the Sydney’s finest Italian musical import launching headlong into the dark heart of Beats, with a twisted melange of raw bass, chopped and screwed vocals, sparkling synths, and chunky beats, all with that signature Ribongia sense of barely controlled mayhem. This is music made to be played loud, and enjoyed with wild abandon.

Also included as a bonus is a remix of the single from Melbourne beatsmith Able8.

Able8 x Wisdom2th – The Only Thing

8 04 2013

Wisdom2th (pronounced ‘wisdom tooth’) is a musician/comedic performer currently residing in Perth, Western Australia. Wisdom2th is known for two distinct qualities: firstly, his phenomenal afro; and secondly, the fact that he is a highly proficient multi-instrumentalist and accomplished emcee and beatmaker. 

The Only Thing

Wisdom2th has worked with numerous artists including Marksman, ASAP, The Anonymous, RhymeAudial, FG, G.B.X and the list goes on. A producer in the true sense of the word, Wisdom2th has constructed, arranged, co-written, recorded, mixed and mastered tunes for a wide range of artists in a wide range of genres from the comfort of his personal studio space. As an artist, Wisdom2th’s musical style ranges from glitchy computer driven madness to chilled out old soul sounds. Truthfully, though, he goes wherever the music wants to take him. But isn’t that what makes music something that’s worth doing?

Able8 is a prominent music producer and beatmaker based in Melbourne, Australia. He has been writing and performing songs in various forms over the past 9 years. His own label Uncomfortable Beats sheds light on Australias under-exposed music scene, and his crew The Operatives import the best world talent onto Australian shores. Musically, Able8 creates beats that often fuse the Hip-Hop world with the EDM world. Crusty samples are often layered over heavy electronic bass lines with catchy melodies, and hard swinging drums. Each and every year Ables style organically evolves and grows, as does his forever expanding roster of word-wide collaborators.

Able8 and Wisdom2th combine to present this brand new track titled The Only Thing. Check it out below.

Cash Krzma – Excessive & Disgusting Degrees EP

8 02 2013

Cash Krzma’s has been deemed a lyricist to watch out for in 2013. By pure chance his debut single All Fonts was selected for Obesecity 2, and Cash was promptly offered distribution for his then unfinished debut EP. Collaborating with producers Neversaidall (DVS) and Able8 (Uncomfortable Beats) Cash Krzma brings you an original sound, heavily laced with self depreciating, comical braggadocio.

Cash-Krzma-Excessive-and-Disgusting-Degrees-Artwork

Expect a dose of strong, intelligent lyrics depicting life seen though the eyes of a semi – vagabond, twenty something social misfit. From Meanderings a ballad like depiction of the emcee’s journey thus far to Tumor Fists a brutal assault on commercial music. No topic is off limits: drugs, plastic surgery, social class structures, virgin alien births and Kyle Sandilands purple onion. Backed up from samples by Bukowski, eighties exploitation films and smooth beats, nothing outruns the razor sharp, lizard tongued wit of this versatile rapper. Cash Krzma – Excessive & Disgusting Degrees EP is available now.

With a follow up LP The Brinkman already half written, a national tour planned to coincide with it’s release, collaborations with Slack Jaw (Freos finest) for his mix tape Eat A Rat 4 and DCORP’s Cypher Session already under his belt you can guarantee this won’t be the last you hear of this Emcee.

Benny Diction X Able8 – Over Here

9 12 2012

London-based emcee Benny Diction and Melbourne-based producer Able8 bring you Over Here, the first single from their forthcoming collaborative album, tentatively titled A2B

1942507115-1

Over a beat that combines the ‘true school’ sampling ethics of classic hip-hop with the sensibilities of modern electronica, Benny displays the witty, intricately-woven rhymes that make him one of the scene’s unique vocal talents. The result is a jazzy, upbeat banger that you can either relax or move to. The video, edited by Dave Silver (who has previously worked with the likes of Beardyman and the Foreign Beggars), compliments the light-hearted, loose feel of the track perfectly and reflects the fun the crew had in putting it together. Expect more from Able8 and Benny Diction in the coming months.

For all the producers out there, if you want to put your own spin on Benny’s vocals the acapella version of Over Here is there for you to get busy. The winning remix will feature on the Benny Diction & Able8 album when it drops next year. Also… for any MCs wanting to bless the instrumental version of the tune, go head! The guys would be happy to hear you do your thing on it. Submissions to be sent to:  bennydiction@gmail.com  or ableisnothere@gmail.com. For more information and to download Over Here b/w Lost It head here.
