Sleepwalkers – The Nocturnal Journey

Jim Steps

The underdogs of Western Sydney return to set a new bench mark for the ever growing local hip hop scene. Sleepwalkers are turning heads to make necks crack and The Nocturnal Journey is no exception. Sleepwalkers have just graduated to the underground sophomore class after releasing The Nocturnal Journey, following their debut mixtape The Awakening. The boys have taken their ever so diverse, hard hitting debut mixtape and built off it, tided up some freshmen loose ends and straight out busted blood, sweat and tears to take each element of an emcee to the next level.

David Dallas x G-Shock – Limited Edition

Jim Steps

A G-Shock ambassador since 2009, the collaboration was perfect timing for both David Dallas and G-Shock. Based on the 5600 model that David wears every day, it is black in its design – a nod to his new album artwork featuring subtle gold detailing and the ‘D Dot’ logo. Involving himself in every step of the design process, David ensured that any style queues were distinct and personal. Influenced by everything he wants in a watch, the 5600 model has been a faithful companion for the last 4 years, so for him, it was about accentuating what was already great … Continue reading David Dallas x G-Shock – Limited Edition

Illy – Cinematic: The Collaborators (Pt. 1)

Jim Steps

Cinematic is an apt title for an Illy album. The evolution of Illy as an artist certainly lends itself to the idea of film. It’s the tale of a smart and idealistic hip-hop storyteller who put everything on the line and, through honing his craft and sheer hard work, made it work; going from, as he himself so succinctly puts it on Yoyo, “The ground floor to the top tier”. Cinematic is an imposing musical statement from an Australian artist. And now, having taken charge of his own career path with his label ONETWO, it’s just the beginning of the … Continue reading Illy – Cinematic: The Collaborators (Pt. 1)

Jim Steps

Sydney hip hop rising stars True Vibenation take to the road on the Dressed to Chill Tour to launch the first single from their upcoming second LP. With each member playing horns as well as handling writing and production duties the trio goes beyond the traditional hip-hop format of two turntables and a microphone to transform into a blasting horn section and live beat making band. Coupled with their self-made instrument that literally turns audience members into drum machines their live show is something that has to be seen to be believed. True Vibenation has had their nose to the … Continue reading True Vibenation – The Dressed to Chill Tour Nov 2013

Music Video: Context & Jimmy Flipshyt – Big Dog (feat. Anton)

Jim Steps

Kerser – S.C.O.T (Sickest Cunt Out There)

Jim Steps

In the next chapter of one of the greatest success stories in Australian music history; Kerser returns with third album S.C.O.T. Since releasing debut LP The Nebulizer only two years ago, Kerser proved himself an unrelenting force to be reckoned with. Despite his rapidly increasing popularity reflected in the charts and on social media, the Campbelltown native continues to be turned away by major radio stations. But the absence of radio play has proven almost irrelevant to Kerser. The unconventional yet democratic nature of his rise to fame has indicated the start of a new model of music business, free from … Continue reading Kerser – S.C.O.T (Sickest Cunt Out There)

Loose Change – Listening Party out now

Jim Steps

Straight out of Sydney’s Big Village, smooth operators Loose Change have gotten their maturity on for the release of their second LP Listening Party, which is out now. Following on from first single ‘Shoosh’ – a sharp, tongue-in-cheek, four minute jab at some people’s lack of ability to know when to be quiet – the record cracks Loose Change open to reveal a depth of lyric and instrumentation that says a hell of lot more than ‘pipe down, man.’ Five years after MCs [and Big Village co-founders] Ellesquire and Rapaport and producer/multi-instrumentalist P.Major first starting creating, their second album Listening … Continue reading Loose Change – Listening Party out now

Tom Showtime – The Showtime EP (2008)

Jim Steps

Celebrating five years in the game, Tom Showtime re-issues his debut release. The Showtime EP blends so many genres, but is probably defined best as down-tempo electronica with a hip-hop feel. Tracks like Doobe Bop and Rare Medium are proper head boppers, deep yet bouncy with spaced out sax sounds. Punchy Disco lives up to the name, with a more solid beat that’s bound to get some feet tapping. “This was my debut EP in 2008, back when I was just called Showtime. It’s five years old now, so I thought I’d give it away for free. Enjoy..!” – Tom Showtime While tracks … Continue reading Tom Showtime – The Showtime EP (2008)
