KPI Nil Response feat. Hau
Born from an egg on a mountain top, I-Raq Records burst forth from the womb in jets of bloody mucous in 1999 – the brainchild of the secret Illuminati brotherhood pulling the strings of Canberra-based musical monsters Koolism.

This world is in a state of flux. This decade has seen changes that would seem an absurd fictional tale, if you were to explain it to someone a generation before.
