Delta – Alien EP

Jim Steps

Delta stands unparalleled as a seasoned cultural ambassador for purist hip hop in Australia. Since releasing The Second Story three years ago, the hip hop world has been anxiously awaiting his next release. Beloved for his dependable quality of production, lyricism and execution, Delta is a champion of his craft. The first single from upcoming album Pyramid Schemes (due late 2012) is Alien, a hypnotic sample-heavy track which explores human identity outside of the rat race, among the infinite cosmos that lies beyond. Alien is introduced by a foreword from the father and original architect of hip hop, DJ Kool … Continue reading Delta – Alien EP

Hau’s Version Excursion – ‘Get In My Life’ (Original By Hermitude)

Jim Steps

For the fun & love of making music & paying homage. Original by Hermitude (http://www.elefanttraks.com) Refixed by Hau Lyrics: (verse one) As soon as I heard the sirens I looked for the nearest spot that I could hide in Leapt over a fire hydrant to slide in… Between a Merc’ and some white thing They shone the light in, forced me to scatter like a cockraoch They got close, I’m cooking under pressure like a pot roast Blokes like me have got choked once caught So that one thought alone makes me run towards.. This one door that’s half open, … Continue reading Hau’s Version Excursion – ‘Get In My Life’ (Original By Hermitude)

Koolism – Behind The Scenes IX (Can’t Stand It)

Jim Steps

Koolism has started their journey back into the game and in this video you get to play fly on the wall and watch Hau laying down the first verse to Koolism’s new single, Can’t Stand It. Ignorant crew duck down! Canberra’s finest, Koolism, are back! The mighty combination of emcee Hau Latukefu and DJ Danielsan Ichiban return more vitriolic, more pissed off, than ever. On Can’t Stand It, Hau takes fire at the Australian government’s policy of refugee detaining, the seeming hypocracy of lambasting Pauline Hanson but cheering for her on Dancing With The Stars and the general air of … Continue reading Koolism – Behind The Scenes IX (Can’t Stand It)

Koolism Demo Track – Soundtrack To My Life (Download)

Jim Steps

This is the demo version of a track, Soundtrack to My Life. It was recorded in 2005 in Hau’s cousin’s studio/shed in the suburbs of Sydney. Everyone thought it would be interesting for you guys to hear what the original music was like before transforming into the released version found on the 2006 Koolism album, New Old Ground. Obviously this didn’t get mixed as it was just used as a guide before tackling the proper recording, so bare with the roughness of the sound. You can file this info & tune under ‘interesting fact’. Be sure to head over and … Continue reading Koolism Demo Track – Soundtrack To My Life (Download)
