aahh Radio Podcast: Thundamentals

Jim Steps

Thundamentals’ reputation as a band of party starters with a loud egalitarian streak is obviously resonating with Australian music fans as demand has pushed the rap crew to double the number of Elephant In The Room tour dates.   What’s more, taking a leaf from the legacy of support that legends like the Hilltop Hoods [among others] have given Thundas, the Sydney-via-Blue Mountains group are announcing Melbourne’s 18-year-old rap wunderkind BARO as tour support, taking the up-and-coming rhyme-smith on the road for 15 of their 24 Elephant In the Room dates.   The good vibes couldn’t have come at a … Continue reading aahh Radio Podcast: Thundamentals

aahh Radio Podcast: Jurassic 5

Jim Steps

Jurassic 5 formed in the early nineties and quickly became known as one of the soulful and socially aware Hip Hop groups of the LA underground scene. They weren’t throwback or old school, but they embodied a nostalgic sound that was also at once fresh and has remained the benchmark for original Hip Hop ever since. The group gave us timeless tracks such as ‘Quality Control’, ‘What’s Golden’ , ‘Day at The Races’ and ‘Thin Line’ featuring Nelly Furtado before they parted ways in 2007. Although the band was out of sight they were certainly not out of mind and … Continue reading aahh Radio Podcast: Jurassic 5

Kerser Interview 4th LP KING Drops Tomorrow

Jim Steps

KING Is By Far His Best And Most Accessible, Despite Being The Most Brutal! A success story no one predicted, MC Kerser is the most polarising voice in Australian hip hop, epitomising the notoriously hard-living suburbs of Sydney’s outer west. With trademark, unapologetic, honesty, KING documents Kerser’s incredible trajectory from his stomping ground in Sydney’s West [‘C-Town’], the fight he’s undertaken to get out [‘Put Life in Rap’] and the hard-won realisation that success creates its own problems [‘Forever’.] Though championed by the marginalised society he emerged from, some early fans have fallen by the wayside, accusing Kerser of flaunting … Continue reading Kerser Interview 4th LP KING Drops Tomorrow

aahh Radio Season 2 Episode 6 Geko

Jim Steps

Enigmatic Geko AKA Phil Gektor makes up one sixth of formidable Melbourne label Crate Cartel. His new album, titled Real Heads Don’t Listen, is out May 30 2014. Entirely self-produced, Geko has poured his contrarian genius into the album, ensuring every detail has purpose. Consistent with his previous work, Real Heads Don’t Listen further explores Geko’s underground ethos and his satirical take on mainstream society and commercialisation. Using samples as his muse, Geko’s production and lyrical themes evolve organically. The album’s overall gritty, trippy feel resembles its creator’s cynical obscurity. Though dark, and sometimes confronting, Geko’s music is a brilliant … Continue reading aahh Radio Season 2 Episode 6 Geko

Jim Steps

The HyperParadise LP 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.
