Hermitude have signed a deal with legendary record label Regal/Parlophone (Lilly Allen) for the release of their smash single Speak Of The Devil. Already championed by the likes of Zane Lowe and Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1, the single has dropped in the UK.
The success of Speak of the Devil (#44 in triple j’s hottest 100) has seen Hermitude leapfrog their peers, scoring festival slots at Groovin The Moo and Come Together. On the back of some steady momentum, their critically adored HyperParadise album re-entered the ARIA Charts at #48.
Most recently they have supported 360 on his The Flying Tour and have been announced to play at Parklife 2012. Hermitude recently performed to a sold out one-off show in London at Barfly, Camden on July 2.
Hermitudes remix accompaniment to their critically adored album HyperParadise is out now. It features some electrifying remixes from some of Australia’s best and most hyped producers including M-Phazes, Flume, Ta-Ku and Sampology.
Flume leads the charge with a kaleidoscopic reinvention of HyperParadise, filled with epic buildups, swung beat work and classy synths – showing why he’s making waves on the international beats scene. Australia’s hip hop production powerhouse, M-Phazes takes a break from his trademark boom-bap, delivering an addictive disco-fuelled take of Speak of The Devil. The ever prolific Ta-Ku takes HyperParadise into dancefloor destruction mode, proving why he’s one of our country’s most promising young beat makers.
Hermitude are charging forward with an infectious momentum that has seen their HyperParadise record re-enter the ARIA Charts at #48 (Digital # 26). It’s seen them smash the national Groovin the Moo tour and join 360 on his record-breaking The Flying Tour. Speak of The Devil made its UK radio debut as part of Zane Lowe’s ‘Next Hype’ segment on BBC Radio1 just last week. The single drops in the UK late July with the duo heading over for a headline London show on July 2.

HyperParadise is Hermitude hitting the bullseye of their artistic vision, a beautifully inventive record of future beats and electronica. It’s not just their meticulousness in production and musicianship, it’s the passion and love they have for instrumental music that makes them so special.
The songs are bubbling with personality: choruses leap out of songs demanding an emotional response, differing for each listener. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine the more notably adventurous R&B/soul vocalists wishing they could get their hands on the likes of All of You and HyperParadise. Speak of the Devil has been one of the standout dancefloor tunes of 2011; thrashed by Australian radio; and winner of triple j’s 2011 J Award for Australian Music Video of the Year.
It was also #9 in Rage’s Top 50 videos of 2011 and nominated for FBi’s SMAC Awards (Single and Video). Should we mention the international news yet? No. Save that one. Hermitude have nurtured an affectionate and fiercely loyal audience over the years, commanding respect from the best in the beats business (DJ Krush, Glitch Mob). They’re in a perfect position to take it up a few notches with the release of HyperParadise.
