Purpose – Cities, Classics, Where It Starts

Jim Steps

2011 was a huge year for South Australian MC & Producer Purpose. Instead of doing a 2011 wrap up for Purps, we caught up with him to chat all his If The City Had a Voice Mixtape series, the new album, highlights from 2011 and what the future holds for this enigmatic artist.  You had a huge 2011, what was your biggest highlight of the year?  The feeling of finally just putting the mixing/producing skills I’ve learned over the past few years into practise was extremely satisfying. But every time this question pops up I have to say performing on … Continue reading Purpose – Cities, Classics, Where It Starts

Prime 2011 Wrap Up

Jim Steps

2011 was a spectacular year for Prime. Good Morning, call it a mixtape if you dare, was released with a collection of all-original material (save for three beats) but was crafted and structured as lovingly as any album in your collection. The fact that it was made available for free download was simply a bonus.  Prime’s unprecedented approach to fan engagement in 2011 has been his success – his habit of giving away original, album-quality material to a burgeoning listener base via social media, one heartfelt, hard-hitting track at a time. Many of these tracks, like Devilish, have become the stuff of Internet legend; others, like … Continue reading Prime 2011 Wrap Up
