Exclusive: Deece – Back Up feat. Fatty Phew & Bigfoot (Prod. WIK)

19 11 2012

A Cornered Season is the debut solo album from the well oiled Melbourne MC, Deece (of B Wiv Deece fame). While B Wiv still has a strong presence on A Cornered Season producing six of the sixteen tracks, this album sees Deece team up with some of the best MC’s & producers this country has to offer. The result?

A beautifully sculpted dynamic soundscape that complements Deece’s ever evolving sound. On the producer front Plutonic Lab has lent a hand between relentless Hilltop Hoods duties, WIK has jumped on board fresh from handling production on Maundz’s latest album Zero, Alter Ego handles four gems, J Squared contributes a spin tingler, Dave V drops a banger off the back of entirely producing Lazy Grey’s last album The Soundtrack & Mat Raffle from WA delivers the perfect vibe for the title track.

On the MC tip A Cornered Season is brutalised by the return of the Boss; Mass MC, the one and only Bigfoot, Fatty Phew, Maundz, Maggot Mouf, Swarmy, Geko, Force, & the lovely Alyson Murray with some haunting additional vocals on What I’ve Seen.

Pre-Order Deece – A Cornered Season now through JB Hi-Fi or Soulclap Records and receive a deluxe bundle with a heap of goodies.  Once you’ve done that head over to Goonbag Radio, and enter the exclusive Deece comp, where you can pick up an amazing prize pack. Deece – A Cornered Season is available Friday 23, November.

A Cornered Season is the debut solo album from the well oiled Melbourne MC, Deece (of B Wiv Deece fame). While B Wiv still has a strong presence on ‘A Cornered Season’ producing six of the sixteen tracks, this album sees Deece team up with some of the best MC’s & producers this country has to offer. The result?

On the producer front Plutonic Lab has lent a hand between relentless Hilltop Hoods duties, WIK has jumped on board fresh from handling production on Maundz’s latest album Zero, Alter Ego handles four gems, J Squared contributes a spin tingler, Dave V drops a banger off the back of entirely producing Lazy Grey’s last album The Soundtrack & Mat Raffle from WA delivers the perfect vibe for the title track.

Fair to say this is a line up not for the squeamish. To add to the stellar line up of producers A Cornered Season has been mixed at Three Phase studio’s by Joel Taylor & Mastered by Joe Carra at Crystal Mastering to be one of the most bad arse sounding hip hop album’s you’re likely to hear from this country. Pre Order A Cornered Season today & receive a signed copy, along with a signed A3 poster, a limited edition UV vinyl sticker of the album cover & a limited edition Deece (bearded hearts you) fridge magnet. These are all sure to become collectors items so don’t miss this opportunity.

Exclusive: Rapaport on FBi Radio

15 10 2012

Rapaport is one the most creatively diverse MCs in Australia and co-label manager of Big Village. For the last 8 years Rapaport has contributed extensively to the Sydney hip hop/ arts scene in various groups and artistic projects as an MC, manager, musician and producer.

Rapaport is a founding member of Loose Change with Ellesquire and P Major, and guitarist and front man of live band The Phonies, who released their debut EP Keeping It Fake in 2007. He is also creator and director of Hip Hop theatre, game show Sketch The Rhyme, which is a 12 piece live show of MCs, visual artists and band, who have performed at Edinburgh Fringe Fest 2011, Woodford Folk Fest 2010 & 2011 and Melbourne Fringe fest 2010. 

“This is a live radio session I did at FBi Radio on ‘The Drop’ with ‘Joyride’ in August. The radio session is very much on the style of UK radio sessions where I’be thrown in a whole bunch of material, old and new over some new beats that in really feeling. The first beat is ‘Buggn’ from the TNGHT EP by Hudson Mohawke and Lunar C, the second beat is Lighter by Champion. I really like the buzz of doing raps on live radio, I really enjoy challenging myself technically and seeing how polished I can make the overall performance“. – Rapaport

Most of these verses are taken from the Patterns mixtape which is available for free download from here.

Rapaport ‘Patterns’ Launch

13 08 2012

Big Village Records is proud to present the official Launch for Rapaport’s Patterns mixtape, an unrelenting dose of left field grime raps, over an assortment of original and bootlegged bass beats from UK and Australia. 

This collection of tracks showcases Rapaport as a unique MC in the Australian hip hop landscape, pursuing a defiantly UK sound, while still retaining a self effacing honesty and oddball sense of humour in his lyricism.

August 17 will see Rapaport take over GoodGod Small Club with a night of banging hip-hop and sophisticated grime, with Live support from Swarmy, Julez & DJ Sizzle (from Melbourne), Tenth Dan & Grub and DJ’s Klue, Max Gosford and Juzlo. Rapaport has been a constant contributor in the Sydney music scene for a number of years, most recently as Label Manager of Big Village Records. He independently released his debut Rapaport album Laughing on the Inside in 2009 before forming Loose Change with Ellesquire and P Major in 2010 and releasing their self-titled debut album through Big Village.

Broken Tooth Entertainment News

1 02 2012

BTE is setting off 2012 with a 21st birthday bash at Melbourne’s Laundry upstairs! Come down and party like it’s a 21st birthday party with the BTE fam on February 18th. Everyone will be there and hitting the stage over the night so it’s sure to be big!

2012 looks to be a busy one, with the release of Tornts’s next album Concrete Slang. Tornts will undoubtedly bring forth his vivid imagery and stoic refusal to shy away from the brutal truth in another instalment from one of Australia’s most prolific and original styled no-nonsense artists. This will be followed by Maggot Mouf and Sammy Scissor’s new project; Running With Scissors, as well as a new offering from Gargoyle entitled Sink or Swim, both of the later scheduled from mid-year.

After that, who knows? Broken Tooth like to under promise and over deliver, however it can be confirmed that Swarmy and Newsense are both busy on their individual solo albums and Ciecmate is as relentless as always. Stay peeled.


Recent Tornts track lifted from Ciecmates – Chess Sounds Vol. 1.

Bingethinkers – Where Are They Now… (Feb 11th) (Preview Tracks Up)

24 01 2011


Over the past half-decade, Bingethinkers have built their reputation as one of Sydney’s most dynamic hip hop outfits- electrifying audiences with their remarkable live show. The group is comprised of MC Rinse on the mic, DJ 2Buck (Dialectrix, Gully Platoon) on the decks (and beats) and producers Aeon (a member of Sydney rock/electronica act Decoder Ring) and PSYKEone on the beats. This combination of high energy, boom bap production and razor sharp lyrics create an unmatched collection of individual talent sharing a single ethos.

Following up from the release of their ShelfLife Mixtape (2007), Bingethinkers formed LookUP with fellow Sydneysiders Scott Burns and Thats Them. After various mixtape appearances and an exclusive 12″ vinyl release in 2010, Bingethinkers embark on their long-awaited full length debut, Where Are They Now…

A fusion of classic 90’s hip hop with the futuristic sounds of glitchy electronica, Where Are They Now… is true artistic cohesion, a melting pot of musical influences that includes traditional instruments, soul, electronica, rock, dub, dancehall & funk combined to create a sound like nothing else; the Bingethinkers.

From the lead single The Bust feat. Dialectrix to the soul-tinged Get The Picture, it is clear that Where Are They Now… is more the sound of an established crew cementing their musical legacy rather than that of a fresh collective honing their craft. MC Rinse’s infectious flow is on full display in The Bottle, while the crew’s impeccable production and instrumental prowess gets the heartfelt send off in the closing Stick Around. In News Report, The Binge plays on the panic stricken paranoia and shock value of 24 hour news to the back drop of siren-fuelled production and hard hitting rhymes. They are but a small offering of the infectious personalities and gifted work presented on Where Are They Now…

After establishing their name in the underground for 6 years, Bingethinkers are ready to break the surface.
